The first half of the Round of 32 is in the books. Here is the updated bracket.

Now onto the other half...

LIBERTY CITY REGIONAL:

(9) Kirby vs. (1) Final Fantasy (Rapture)

Kirby is yet another solid franchise product of Nintendo. But Final Fantasy will likely prove to be too tall a beast for it. FF should have no trouble getting into Liberty City.

(5) Star Wars vs. (4) Mortal Kombat (Dream Land)

Luke Skywalker vs. Liu Kang is a hell of a match-up. This is a tough one to pick. I think Liu and the gang from MK will pull this one out by a hair in the end. The winner will likely have a giant match-up on their hands in LC.

(6) Super Smash Bros. vs. (3) Street Fighter (Rapture)

Super Smash Bros. is one of 2 most underseeded franchises in this challenge. I foresee them going to Liberty City, but Street Fighter should put up a pretty awesome fight against this Nintendo Fighting Powerhouse.

(7) Chrono vs. (2) Call of Duty (Dream Land)

Give CoD some credit. I said they had a trap game on their hands in the first round against Kingdom Hearts, but they did what they had to do, and came away victorious. Now the only question is, can they do it again against a game Chrono franchise?

MUSHROOM KINGDOM REGIONAL:

(8) GoldenEye 007 vs. (1) Batman Arkham (ASEC)

The Aperture Science Enrichment Center plays host to the most interesting Round of 32 match-up on deck. GoldenEye, a beloved N64 classic, is definitely the most underseeded franchise in this tournament. Batman, meanwhile, is on a mission here after getting the big snub from the CCCC. Very interested to see how this one plays out. Hate to bet against a 1 seed, but I predict GoldenEye to pull it out.

(12) Star Fox vs. (4) Grand Theft Auto (Reach)

Star Fox topped one of the biggest RPG giants of our time in the Round of 64. But now Fox and company will have a much bigger challenge to overcome against Niko, Trevor, Michael, and the rest of the well-respected GTA gang.

(6) Doom vs. (3) Pokemon (ASEC)

Speaking of big challenges... Pokemon is the king of non-PC RPGs. Doom on the other hand, was one of the original FPS's and is a fan favorite among the age 20-30 gaming community. But they will have quite the battle on their hands against Pikachu, Scizor, Lugia, and the rest of the Pokemon gang.

(10) FIFA vs. (2) Sonic the Hedgehog (Reach)

FIFA, you lucky, lucky, dog you. Crash Bandicoot had you by the freaking THROAT. Yet FIFA came out of nowhere late to pull off the 1-vote victory. Well, it matters not, because Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and the rest of the Sonic gang are about to have their way with you. You won't be able to run from Sonic's homing attacks. And even if you can, you will run straight into Knuckles'... Knuckles. Sonic's best days may be behind him, but he's still better than you.

So now that I'm finished writing my bad analyses... Y'all know the drill. 24 hours to vote.
