(3)Ryu vs. Ken vs (6)Ratchet vs. Dr. Nefarious 2011

Ulti's Analysis
Leonhart4 has turned me into a Ratchet fanboy, but I would have voted for him anyway because I *hate* Ryu and Ken so much with all the idiots on SSF4 online who just shotospam all day with these two. Holy crap. I love Street Fighter, but I despise these two so much. F*** em.

Regardless, if you look at round 1 in a vacuum this match is much more impressive than the Trainers > Starcraft result. Granted the votals are just god-awful, but the Trainers also had their match at night and didn't fare much better. We went over this with Zero's match, but 80% is a hard number to break. Getting nearly 82% on Ratchet has to be more impressive than 77% on the Starcraft duo, right?

I mean we all know what happened later, but maybe the trainers being momentum-based was proven here in round 1. Not that it's really worth mulling over or anything because F this contest so much. At the very least, the match was in doubt following round 1.
