(1)Lara Croft vs (16)Chop Chop Master Onion 2002

Before the Match
Back in her day Lara Croft was one of the most known characters in gaming, with many of her games being a big hit during the Playstation era, but by 2k2 she had lost a lot of her fame and even had some hate. Yet through all that she was still able to get a 1 seed ahead of characters such as Cloud, Snake, Link and Sephiroth. Chop Chop Master Onion is from PaRappa the Rapper who the main character just lost to the mosted hated character in the tournament. So even if Lara's time had come and go she would at least be able to thrash this nobody.

After the Match
Lara Croft did thrash Chop Chop, but not as much as what people were expecting. She failed to break 70% on a character who's main character failed to beat Pikachu. With just one match Lara Croft proved that she just doesn't deserve that 1 seed and with many strong characters such as Snake, Aeris, Dante and Crono in the division showing that much weakness is a bad thing.

Interesting Facts
- At the beginning of the contest Lara Croft was voted as the most likely 1 seed to lose first.

- Chop Chop Master Onion is the only character (other than Starcraft) to break 30% on a 1 seed.
