(1)Luigi vs (3)Tifa Lockheart 2018

Ulti's Analysis
Unlike division 6, this one having a 10% prediction percentage for the winner made a ton of sense. Tifa had to beat, in order: Geno, Mewtwo, Mega Man X, and Luigi. This was also a division with Master Chief and Nathan Drake, noted casual bait, taking up some picks as well.

Remember the Miracle on Ice clip? You've all seen it.

What everyone forgets is that was only the semifinal. The USA still had to go out and beat Finland in the final, which wasn't exactly easy street. They fell behind 1-0 and 2-1 before ultimately winning 4-2. That's essentially what this match was for Tifa. Beating Mega Man X was great and it's the match everyone is talking about, but Luigi is no joke and Tifa easily could have lost this match had she not shown up. There was one thing she had in her favor, though. These two have met before.

It's a very comparison between Bowser and Kirby, who also had a rematch from 2005. The difference here is there actually was a reason for the gap to close between Luigi and Tifa. Square and Nintendo have trended in very opposite directions since 2005, and Tifa getting 53% thirteen years ago didn't exactly inspire confidence. The oracle was split down the middle and most people had this as a dead even match.

Much like Finland did in 1980, Luigi scored first. He won the early board vote, and Tifa quickly recovered to tie things at the freeze. As things kept moving, it was Luigi who started slowly building a lead. We can call him getting a 100 vote lead our version of Finland leading 2-1, because after that Tifa just swamped the dude. That 100 vote lead of Luigi's was gone pretty quickly, and though Luigi tried his best to hold off her push leading to midnight, Tifa would eventually take control of the match and win relatively easily. Winning by 850 given how close it was early is pretty impressive, and it sent Tifa off to the legends bracket where she would have one more hilarious match before ultimately bowing out of this thing.
