I'd bet $50 on Squirtle not being a retard and winning.
You might want to reconsider betting on that. Squirtle almost lost to a much less experienced Roro at WCS.
Squirtle is the type of player to look at a situation and instantly recognize the path/timing that will get a win.
Ace is the type of player that's good at creating those weird situations (Roro wasn't particularly ahead after that initial roach attack; he had +1 ranged against +2/+3 coming, a max of roaches & 60 drones against 40 probes, 3 immortals and a bunch of stalkers).
If Ace could get in a situation like that again (pretty likely when you look at his game history), Squirtle would take that shit to a win every time. Squirtle's weakness is that his execution (the defense against the roach attack) isn't as good.
Edit: See. Squirtle would have died to this; Ace survives with a slight advantage. Squirtle would take this situation to a win 100%

...what? Roro outplayed him the whole game..
If one player is playing bad you only need mediocre play to outclass him.
what did Roro do that was "medicore"?
Nothing special obviously.
lol what do you even define as "special" ? Roro had ridiculous multitasking and executed a multi prong harass with perfection. Scouted the twilight council and spotted the high stalker count which led him to go mass roach.

Some unnecessary hating going on here..
"Ridiculous multitasking"? He can build roaches and split them in two groups. OMG only Elephants can do this!
Yes, he played way better than Ace. But it wasn't impressive. I'm not saying he can't play impressive but he couldn't show it in this game.

12:00 Spire starts for Roro Ace has 7 sentries out 3rd and 4th spine started at Roro's natural Ace's zealot now sees 5 spines going up in the natural
13:00 Roro going up to 10 spines in his natural with some roaches for defense Ace begins warping in near Roro's base and breaks down the rocks between the natural and 3rd Roro's roaches get caught on the low ground by forcefields but Roro targets down 4 sentries
There was a cannon in there which fired a single shot and then died, would have been better to cancel it at the last second. But that might be a bit too much to ask for.
EPT
Ace vs 
RorO
Plenty of worse ones out there
