(1)Solid Snake vs (18)Isaac (Golden Sun) vs (27)Commander Keen 2013

Ulti's Analysis
This match, like most 1 vs 16 or 1 vs 8 or 1 vs 18 vs 27 vs 294564 matches, was very predictable. These usually serve as a tribute to the 1 seed, unless we're talking about LOLHALOLOL, and Snake delivered well. So did Isaac, all things considered.

The only thing to really take from this match was whether or not Snake would be able to challenge Link, and this match absolutely proved he could. Link didn't look particularly dominant in his round 1 match, while Snake went out and took care of business.

This didn't mean Snake would be able to take Link down 1 on 1 or anything, but the numbers after this match were absolutely close enough to give Snake the win if you throw Mario in there, like we all thought he would be. It would end up being Samus in that spot, and there is not a doubt in my mind Snake wins this contest if the final is Link/Snake/Samus.

Cloud probably scores something like 45% on Link these days. Snake can't make that up with an assist from Nintendo? Come on.
