Yeah, I wouldn't take him over any of the near-elites now, but another game could put him over all of them.

How ridiculous is having Snake> Sephiroth, but Cloud>Snake in the same bracket?

Almost as ridiculous as having Sora>Charizard right?

Nice to see MW2 redeem itself.

It's not that bad. Most people figure that Coud beats Sephiroth 55/45 before SFF so as long as you think Snake wins in a close match that pick isn't impossible.

As said before, 30% on Link is impressive, but if that doesn't convince you, consider that Crono only did 8% better on Mario than Zack did, and that was with Samus in the poll instead of MMX, which should hurt Mario more. Crono was equal to Vincent last year, and probably around equal to Squall.

I also think that Zack was bandwagoned last year and will get exposed in this contest so maybe Zack being close to Sora isn't that ridiculous to some.

So...any chance Fawful beats GlaDOS? I just saw that Bowser's Inside Story sold like 650,000 copies last month.

Fawful could beat Glados and it wouldn't leave me shocked, it's possible GlaDOS and Cube fall apart in 1-on-1s.

Well, I've seen virtually zero discussion on the match. I just kind of assumed GlaDOS wins because the Mario & Luigi series is kind of niche, but 650,000 copies in a month is pretty crazy. Fawful is just a handheld character though.

How is it a game can sell 650,000 copies in a month and I hadn't even heard of it before today? I mean, I don't think any Gamecube game ever sold that many copies in a non-launch month......TWW sold 826,000 in its first month by packaging OOT and OOT: Master Quest with it, and now a DS game can just break 650,000 that easily?

*Remembers Brain Age and Nintendogs*......okay. I'm not implying Bowser's Inside Story is similar to those games, by the way.

Another match that hasn't gotten much discussion is Isaac/Layton. Sure Isaac kept close with Lucario, but he was doubled by Altair who at the time was around the fodderline and only got 63%. Layton didn't do well either, but since 2008 he's gain two new releases and his original game has sold quite a bit.

Still think Isaac is the favourite though.

Isaac/Layton I assume is a fodder match where the winner gets to lose to either a Tetris piece or a robot.

I remember Isaac most for putting 25% on Samus back in 2003. Probably should be paying more attention to 2008 results than that, but hey, that's how much more memorable 1v1 matches are!

Based on my stats - 43.28%
Based on Leon's stats - 49.47%

Personally I would take Fawful over Neku.

Speaking of fodder matches, am I the only one here with Neku > Laharl?

I just think Neku's newer and more KH-ish and not-Laharl enough to pull off the win.

Laharl is like the eastern equivalent of guybrush, he probably has enough hardcore fans if Neku is just fodder.
then again fodder fluctuation factor always gives us odd results.
