Woah. How can you like Kirby but not Yoshi? They're basically the same character with different colors. That doesn't make sense to me.

I just don't like Yoshi. Never have. His design doesn't do it for me and he barely has any games of his own. Kirby is a million times better.


I don't believe you've played Super Mario World if you don't like Yoshi. He's the best part of that game.

Joke characters may not be transitive, but Missingno let a Chrono Trigger character gain on him during the day. That can't be good.


In a match that started during the day, on the weekend. There was no reason to expect a poor day vote character to drop at all in those circumstances. There was no night vote to drop down from.

SMW is my second-favorite Mario game. Barely ever used Yoshi.

Yoshi's stateside percentage is dipping lower. He's under 50.5% now; such a percentage can easily be flipped with the ASV.

Question: if Missingno starts coming back with the ASV, will anyone here care enough to try a Yoshi counter-rally? I've rallied several times before, but I don't care much about this one.

Whoa liking Kirby moreso than Yoshi? I find that to be quite odd actually. Yoshi is definitely better than Kirby in every conceivable way except for sucking.

Yoshi is just a mount for Mario. I don't see why people like him. He's no more likable than Epona, since he's just Marios Epona. Outside of the Mario games, he's just whored out by Nintendo due to needing every character they can think of for the Mario Party and Mario Kart games, and He's well known enough due to Mario Party and Mario Kart to get into Smash. He's only liked I guess because of how much exposure he's gotten, not because he's a good character in any way.

I like Epona more than Yoshi, actually. The first time I realized I could actually speak to Epona as Wolf Link... that was a cooler memory than any I have of Yoshi.

Does Epona eat enemies and spit out fire? Does Epona eat enemies and grow wings? I thought not.

She only has one line, but it's still better than anything Yoshi has ever done, although my preference of the Mario crew is pretty whacked.

http://www.zeldawiki.org/Epona

While Link is in wolf form, he is able to speak with Epona briefly, as with other animals. Her only line in the game is "Link... Hurry up and return to your true self..."

<333 Epona. Such a trusty companion.

Fighter and Black Mage would probably do a good job in a contest setting... Probably over the fodder line, at least.

What about Garland? At least he has some nice Dissidia art.
