The hope for Sonic fans yet again lasted only a single day, because Samus yet again shot them all down like they were nothing. The bad part, of course, was that we had yet another match that was never in question. It was all about future comparisons, because Sora had no chance from the beginning.
The problem here was Sora's SFF in 2003. He suffered a lot of it against Aeris, so his 2003 Xst number was somewhat invalid. He was only expected to get 28.83% against Samus after all, and most people know that this is simply unrealistic. So with Sora out of the way, what is there to make of the final results? Most people came into the match saying that Samus needed to score 70% or better to have any chance against Cloud, and even though this match more or less killed the pipe dream that was Samus taking down Cloud, this match was a validation that Samus would be able to take down Sonic with ease.
One final number about this match is that even though Sora had a monster of a contest, he failed to even come close to Squall's 2003 percentage against Samus. That doesn't necessarily make Sora look bad, but it makes HK-47, Ryu Hayabusa, and Jill Valentine look like absolute losers.
