Card Chronicle Video Game Challenge Cyber-16 - TUESDAY




Ryu-cfas_medium

And so the CCVGC Cyber 16 rolls on... Here is the updated bracket.

LIBERTY CITY REGIONAL:

(5) Star Wars vs. (1) Final Fantasy

The clutch performance of Luke Skywalker was enough to pull Star Wars past Mortal Kombat in the Round of 32. Star Wars will carry that momentum into a Cyber-16 showdown with Cloud Strife and Final Fantasy. But will it be enough?

(7) Chrono vs. (3) Street Fighter

And speaking of close finishes... Both these franchises won out over their Round of 32 opponents by a single vote. Ryu and Street Fighter needed a tiebreaker (more games) to scrape by Super Smash Bros. Ryu and the gang have a tough match-up on their hands against a popular RPG franchise in Chrono.

MUSHROOM KINGDOM REGIONAL:

(8) GoldenEye 007 vs. (4) Grand Theft Auto

By far the best match-up of today's Cyber-16 action. GoldenEye stunned #1 seed Batman Arkham, while GTA disposed of a #12-seeded Star Fox. James Bond and Alec Trevelyan take on classic GTA characters such as Niko Bellic and Claude. Not to mention GTA's deadly threesome of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. Given it's popularity, I give the early edge to GoldenEye. But this one truly could go either way.

(6) Doom vs. (2) Sonic the Hedgehog

Both of these franchises have had little to no trouble winning to this point, so this match-up should also be interesting to watch. Sonic and his friends will have plenty of problems on their hands with the vast array of weaponry that Doom has. That said, Doom will have a challenge of their own, dealing with Sonic's quick and devastating attacks, not to mention the support that Tails and Knuckles can provide. I put my early bets on Sonic.

Y'all know the drill... my analyses suck and you have 24 hours.
