Yeah he trashed Nathan Drake and almost defeated Ansem.

I don't think being in more contests means anything. Now, if this were Neku's first contest or his game was brand new, then maybe.

performed better last year (depending on who you ask).

Both char's stats and mine have Neku > Laharl!

Based on what? The fact that he lost to Kirby and barely beat Master Chief last year?

But for what it's worth, my stats do have Dante > Ganondorf and Neku's ahead of Laharl by .05%, so it's basically a push.

Basically does Samus break 40% on Sephiroth?

Bracket support and veteran status should give Laharl the win, but I'd be more confident if it were a night match. Neku has that Kingdom Hearts look and stuff.

Actually, looking at it, I'm not sure, but I didn't adjust Ganondorf for Samus LFF, so my stats would probably put Ganon ahead of Dante if it had any sort of adjustment made.

And you can make both Dante and Ganondorf look bad or good if you cherry pick performances. As a whole, Dante has looked more impressive to me. Just that simple.

Ganondorf only had one match before running into Samus. His wins over Frog and KOS-MOS were pretty good compare 31% on KOS-MOS with the 27% Mega Man got.

Those two polls say they look close rather than Dante looking more impressive (you also have to account Pikachu).

Oh, I'm not arguing Dante and Ganondorf aren't close. I'm just wondering why KP seems so confident that Dante is stronger. I hate Ganon and I'd love to see anything make him look bad enough to lose that one, but I haven't seen any match ever that convinces me Dante should be considered the favorite to beat him. I may pick Dante > Ganon, but I'd feel it was an underdog pick.

Mudkip wouldn't factor in Luigi/Ganondorf since he would hurt them equally, Pikachu on the other hand is IMO the reason why Luigi didn't advance in that match.

The difference is that Ganondorf's going to be affected by the Nintendo and Dante ain't.

Without Mudkip, Bacondorf picture.

Mudkip pretty clearly hurt Luigi a lot more.

It's possible to me that Dante draws votes because of his design. Not only the drop from the Kirby > Dante match to the Sephiroth > Kirby match in 08, but also the fact Dante seems to be more popular than his games. No DMC game has gotten nominated in either game contest and DMC got obliterated by Sonic in the series contest. I don't know the relation from games to characters, so disregard if it's proven there's no correlation.

But the only problem with Ganon comparisons from the last two years is that he has only one match each year without any sort of LFF in it (He got stuck with Samus for rounds 2 and 3 last year and Luigi for rounds 2 and 3 the year before that). The only comparison you can really make between the two is Vincent, and Ganondorf outdid him there. You can argue that Ganondorf does worse on him now (and I'd probably agree with you), but does he get less than 46%? I'm not inclined to agree there.

Well, unless you'd argue Dante gets better than 46% on Vincent now, but I don't know why he would.
