I was somehow lucky enough to correctly predict matches such as Sub-Zero > Tidus and Sackboy > Kratos A...

...and yet, I have Ellis winning here. I'm such a chump sometimes.

People actually picked Ellis? Most people probably don't even know who he is, they probably think he's from Rock Band or something...

and yeah, I think Ellis is gonna end up the weakest character of the bracket. Shepard will likely get doubled by Pikachu next round.

Easily. Scout would maul him. Heck, Scout might take Shepard.

Honestly if these seeds were reversed I might have picked Ellis. I know nothing of either character and went with who was first.

Oh, I'd have definitely picked Ellis if he were the 4 seed instead. This is my most "Who cares?" match of the contest.

left 4 dead has a very divided fanbase. you pick one, MAYBE two of the playable cast that you like and then forget about the rest.

ellis probably barely made it in over Louis and Zoey.

If Ellis is turbofodder, then all Shepard needs to be at strength-wise is a low midcarder level to pull off this kind of performance. Low midcarders would lose to Pikachu here.

For those thinking Shepard could defeat Pikachu, you would need to hope that Ellis is not turbofodder and is really high end fodder. Which means Shepard would have to around a high midcarder to pull the performance seen here.

You shall be relegated to second place in our rivalry, bwahahaha.(see what I did there)


And despite your "superior status", you're still going to win absolutely nothing, because you can't manage to work out where you've been going wrong year after year even if I waved a giant sign in front of your face. Anyone could see you're going nowhere fast.

Even I know enough to turn down Sol Cam- Nathan Drake who is never going to be worth anything despite what the quality of their game might have been in the past.

I would never compare L4D's characters to Portal or the TF2 cast. The latter two groups are internet stars. L4D... not so much, especially not the sequel from what I've seen. I'm still really surprised Ellis got enough support to make it in; you'd think he would have split with one of the other L4D2 guys.

Valve isn't immune to having fodder characters any more than Nintendo or Square are. Nintendo still has their Lucases, and Square still has their Kujas.
