The only notable thing about this match was the new match pic theme for the round; Ceej moved from medium shots of the characters to close-ups and changed the background a bit.
This match was Ada's effort to somewhat validate herself as a midcarder, and she kinda blew it. At the time of this match, we all figured Samus for someone who was still potentially stronger than Mario indirectly. So according to this and paired with Ada's expectations (I believe the average Oracle pick was somewhere around Samus with 75%), Ada underperformed. No clue how one would go about gauging an untested character before ever being in a match, though.
The disappointing thing is that RE seemed on an upswing. It performed respectably in the series contest, and both Ada and Leon did well in the first round of this contest. Even if Ada is a side character, you'd think RE4 would push her to do a bit better. Or maybe it's my fanboyism (semi-auto rifle in Mercs >>> everything) speaking. Or maybe RE4 was a hit because of the Gamecube and Ada got SFFd. Who knows.
Another match, another expected result with the contest favorite killing another bug in the road. Neeeext.
