(1)Luigi vs (16)Miles Edgeworth 2018

Ulti's Analysis
Somehow I forgot Edgey on my list of edgelord characters that I love list in the Magus/Vincent writeup. I should probably be executed for this oversight given I once asked the New Jersey DMV if "EDGEY" was available as a license plate. True story. I've led a rather oddball life, if you can't tell.

Anyway this match was always going to be a massive blowout, and it got scarier as it went along. Luigi was the type of character who could cause some serious damage in a non-Noble Nine bracket like this, and he had the 1 seed and the pedigree to prove it. Luigi has historically been an ass kicker in round 1, but he does it in a way that makes him look non-threatening, Smash Bros Luigi Taunt style. For those who enjoy lists, look at some of these numbers.

And then this match here today, which was the first match Luigi ever had as a 1 seed and he delivered. This was Kansas beating Niagra. How Luigi never had a 1 seed until today I don't know, but he has one of the best pedigrees in round 1 of any non Noble Nine character. If you face this dude in the first round, don't even show up. You are done. Sucks for Edgey because I adore the dude, but hey maybe don't appear in bad video games like Ace Attorney Investigations and you stop being 16 seed fodder for green people.

I did get to see Phoenix carry him to a win in Rivalry Rumble, so technically Edgey is off the schnide!
