This could mean a Knuckles improvement, a Snake drop, or a little of both. Either way, this is a stupid, dumbassed, overplayed, overdone, boring match that needs to stop being held every year. Snake over Knuckles in the second round is not a fun contest tradition. It's stupid, it needs to go, it winds up doing nothing but screwing over both characters out of would-be entertaining matches otherwise, and any prediction percentage under 100% for this match by this point is nothing but deplorable, second round or not.
