...And we have yet another great match-up to close out the Epic Eight. This should be the most interesting match-up of this round. Many (although not me) thought that Sonic was at a disadvantage against Doom. But our favorite blue hedgehog held off a late Doom comeback to advance and take on an even more beloved FPS in GoldenEye 007. I'm really interested to see how this one turns out. GoldenEye was definitely underseeded, and it quite honestly doesn't surprise me that they made it this far, but Sonic has proven throughout this challenge that he has come to play. Sonic's quick method of attacking and Knuckles' devastating punches have been instrumental for Sega's bread and butter in this challenge. But Sonic and his friends have a hell of a challenge on their hands trying to contain the notorious Oddjob, a task that not even a #1 seed in Batman Arkham could accomplish. Will Sonic and the gang be able to do it? You have 24 hours to vote!
