A few stragglers remain, but even their hope fades.

The Crash games have sucked after CTR (though I will give Wrath of Cortex a pass because it was kinda fun). They are either really terrible platformers (Twinsanity) or poor attempts at reliving past glory (Crash Nitro Kart).

I don't know how Crash of the Titans will turn out, but I'm not waiting up.

The Fire Emblem fanbase generally likes Ike...there's just the problem of that fanbase not being very big, like you said. But, hey, Metal Gear/Fire Emblem has to mean something.

I took Gordon Freeman > Ike, but I'm not sure if Ike can get past Duke Nukem. I just hope the FE fanbase is dedicated enough to put him over the top here.

Many of Crash's hardcore fans offed themselves after they realized no more good games for his series would be made after CTR.

Not really. At the very least, there are as many Crash hardcore fans as Phoenix Wright's. There is also a new Crash game on the way by the way, and it looks kind of promising. And the match pic is in Crash's favour.

I think the Duke is going to beat Gordon Freeman, personally. He's someone that people actually recognize... and Gordon has been an absolute FAILURE against those. I'm still angry I took Gordon to come in first, but I honestly do believe the Duke is gonna prevail.

I think Gordon's got first place locked up. 38% on post-KH2 Sora is unbelievably impressive.

Gordon Freeman has a lot more respect and recognition from FPS fans, that's the one thing I keep thinking.

Gordon's gonna get some nice SFF (as well as some LFF) on Duke, which should help out some.

If his match with Sora proved anything, it's that Gordon Freeman is far from the lovable chump we used to know him as. He's got legitimate strength now and he's likely going to do a number on his fourpack (the thought of Gordon dominating anything is disturbing, isn't it?).

Yeah, but only two matches came after HL2 which he is 1-1 (Leon Kennedy got a boost after RE4 which was in serious talks for GOTY at the time).

Gordon always has a winnable match, but 5 out of 6 times, he failed.

Gordon before HL2 and Gordon after HL2 are very different things. After HL2, Gordon's broke 40% on Leon who is an upper midcarder. Then he beat Phoenix handily before almost breaking 40% on Post KH2 Sora. Gordon isn't some loser anymore and people need to realize that.

Phoenix Wright got more votes against Gordon Freeman than copies his game sold at the time. If that's not dedication, I have no idea what is.

Does Ike have a shot there? Gordon>Duke seems almost a lock right?

I see...I must have read that somewhere before forgetting about it, so that's probably why I have Ike there. But I think that was a mistake. Duke has that I think.

Does Ike have any sort of fanbase?

Backtracking a little bit--when did everyone decide Meta Knight was going to be fodder? And why?

I understand the comparison to Proto Man...but I think the analogy works better if you use Zero instead. I'm still picking Sephiroth > Peach, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if we got Sephiroth > Meta Knight here.

...I'm hoping for Sephiroth > CATS, of course. That's the one joke character I can get behind. *shakes his head in Mudkip's general direction*
