Okay I made this entire picture and everyone hated it, so let me explain myself here. The Fox/Wolf side is defensible enough, since both guys look awesome in Brawl and good luck making a good Wolf picture without getting help from that game. Zen hated the font, but come on man. Barbed wire font for two feral characters is pretty awesome.
Now, the bottom half. Okay. Part of being a picsmith is using what I like once in awhile and I personally think Seymour's base model just totally sucks. I loved all his boss fights in FFX, so I wanted to get one of them into a match picture. I also think Yuna looks better in X-2 than FFX, though I will finally concede to Leon4 that X-2 Yuna was not the best of ideas for a match picture with Yuna and Seymour. That said, dude, she's all sitting there with a gun going GET IT AWAY HOLY CRAP. I love the picture, but I can see why everyone else hates it. There's also the issue of "why make pictures at all if everything just turns into what everyone wants", but that's a can of worms I'm not really willing to get into in a PCA.
The match was debated pre-contest for awhile, so naturally it wasn't a fun match at all. This was one of many examples where two characters of marginal strength were able to just torch a pair with one strong character and an anchor, and I feel like Fox and Wolf got a contest title boost. These guys are a damn cool rivalry in Star Fox 64, while Yuna and Seymour aren't remotely close to rivals and deserved to lose here. I'm not really biased here either, because at first I honestly did pick Yuna out of my love for FFX before realizing they had no chance.
Yuna did well given the circumstances here, but... yeah. Weird match.
