Tournament Round Two (Spoiler)

Now, this round should give me less problem than the first one. Less Pokémon, lol.

UNMARKED SPOILERS BECAUSE LAZINESS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Death Battle itself has done Mario vs Sonic twice, with different results each time. That's as close to "anyone's game" as it gets.

Link is likely to win against Greninja in large part due to durability. Being frail for a fully-evolved starter isn't the worst place to be, but it's not on the same scale as taking hits that can instantly kill a T-rex and having enough left to compliment the opponent afterwards.

I know there was a (Master) hand wave that nerfed intangibility, but a Goddess of Death is still ridiculously out of Fox's league.

Kirby may be aware of Lulla's trump card, but he doesn't really have ears to cover so his only counter is to give he absolutely no room to even breathe. That this is indistinguishable from how he won his previous fight is the same reason I'm skipping Sweetie Void's next fight entirely.

Sweetie Void vs Magolor would be one of the most hilariously foregone conclusions in the whole tournament, so I'm forced to root for the penguin. Seriously, Sweetie has gotten stronger since their last fight while Magolor is without the power boost he had back then from the Master Crown. A retread would just be boring and the sort of thing that should have happened in the first round to hype up the later matches.

I don't like DK's odds against Incineroar. Being such a gutter-fighter that you're considered a Dark-type instead of the Fighting-type that martial arts usually make you really slants the odds when the strength is similar. What's even more important is that being immune to Psychic will give Ness a proper match before he ends up against Sweetie Void (see: Flying Press vs Ghost-types). That could go either way, given that he's still primarily the healer who has decent physical attacks to conserve PP for that role.

I didn't know that they made a Death Battle rematch between Mario and Sonic. I will have to see it.

What do you call a retread? I don't understand it, sorry.

Literally "re-tread", as in we've taken that path before. Etymology is fun!
