* | *The match pitting {{Sm|MkLeo}} (Bayonetta) against {{Sm|Plup}} (Ridley) was controversial, as the match was hugely in MkLeo's favor. This is mostly due to him using Bayonetta, who is a highly controversial character in general, as people considered her to be [[broken]] in ''Smash 4''. However, another crucial element was the fact that Plup was using Ridley, who is a new character that he wasn't very familiar with, and possessed a massive hurtbox that made him easy to juggle with a character like Bayonetta. | ||
**Reportedly, even [[Masahiro Sakurai]] was shaking his head in disappointment due to how Bayonetta dominated the match. | **Reportedly, even [[Masahiro Sakurai]] was shaking his head in disappointment due to how Bayonetta dominated the match. | ||
