Yep, Tifa is one of the few characters who has only lost to Noble Niners 1-on-1.

She could almost say it overall, but she did technically "lose" to Kratos because of Seph's presence in that match.

I don't think anyone can say they've only lost to Noble Niners in every format other than one-off 16 seeds or something.

Yeah Tifa's bracket placement just haven't been the most fun.

Almost no characters fit the 1v1 thing so probably not, especially since 4 ways and 3 ways has jokes and rallies dominating. No Noble Nine character only lost to Noble Nine characters either. Tifa is actually closer to this feat that every NNer except Samus who only has the Draven loss.

I think Zelda has had fortunate enough bracket placement and contest misses to have no 1v1 loss against outside forces. Then she ended up being strong enough that it would never happen even with contests. That's the only one I can think of. Bowser is a match against a Pokemon on HGSS release day away from it.

That year was the worst one for match pictures. It’s actually why I started making them, because good hell did they need to be toned down to being more simple.

Cube didn't really threat to get further after defeating a leeched Mega Man. I doubt Zack does anything but fold the following round tbh, maybe he allows Samus to get through over Crono.

Nah, Zack being in the final just means he leeches off of Cloud and Snake takes second more easily.

Zack definitely folds harder to Cloud than Crono, while both served the same job of keeping Cloud behind Snake.

I have vivid memories of making this one, somehow I didn't know what a corkboard was called so I was googling things like "thing to put pins in"

I think I actually was so dumb that I couldn't figure it out and the corkboard you see in the final pic looks like s*** because I made it myself

Considering how few Mega Man characters are in these things, it's ridiculous how often he meets Zero in multi ways. At least he overcomes the leeching next time.
