(2)Tidus vs. Jecht vs (7)Big Boss vs. The Boss 2011

Ulti's Analysis
This was one of the most heavily debated round 1 matches, mostly because of the seeding and Winter 2010 performances, so of course the match was bad and over in seconds.

Normally I'd go through the whole rant about how Tidus will never win a debatable match ever again, but Jecht is the manliest character in this entire bracket so he cancels out Tidus's ugly mug.

The lone weak link in this bracket was actually The Boss, but obviously that proved to be a moot point. Both of these rivalries are among the best in the bracket, both games are among the best in the bracket, but for whatever reason Tidus's constantly being anti-voted outweighed The Boss being weak.

This was a "decent" match I suppose, complete with the lowest prediction percentage in all of round 1, but there really isn't much to say about a 60-40. We already know why Tidus couldn't do anything, too: He's Tidus. Doesn't get much simpler than that.
