Amaterasu (2010c) VS Sephiroth (2010c)

Amaterasu has a strength of 27.86. Sephiroth has a strength of 44.65.

Sephiroth wins with 68.80% of the vote!

Amaterasu is a pretty interesting contest character in that she doesn't really score big blowouts (that Draven match barely counts), but she herself doesn't really get blown out in losses. The only time she was ever truly embarrassed was against the Zelda clan in the Rivalry Rumble, and come on. Everyone gets embarrassed by them eventually and no one gives a shit about the Rivalry Rumble. Just ask Squall.

This match followed a pretty standard Sephiroth victory pattern. Lose the board vote badly, climb all match, slightly underperform based on the previous stats, rinse and repeat until he loses badly somewhere. Given what would eventually happen to the guy, I'm convinced Allen gave him a weak division intentionally. Hell, he was one handed an entire weak contest intentionally. Allen knows what the Noble Nine is, and it would be an embarrassment if one of them was outright precluded from the legend bracket. So he handed Seph an easy division to waltz through. I will say that only getting 61% on Amaterasu was a portent of doom, even though we would all get tricked by this guy next match.
