From: Hochimihnister | #437
I've been telling you all for years that Ganondorf is an overrated fraud with no fans.


Honestly I don't think it's this. I really think that villains and side characters are going to suffer when they come up against main characters and heros, even if it's of a different series. There's obviously some exceptions(hiya Sephiroth), but I really think it's the case.

This is what I'm telling myself to keep believing Sora has a chance.

#442 But yeah, at this point, I'd be surprised if Pikachu didn't break 40%.


Yoshi got 43% against Solid **** in what was probably the closest Snake to 2k10 Snake. Pikachu should be around 41-42%

So how many times have we seen Bacondorf? That Luigi match is the only one that comes to mind.

Ansem and Luigi.

Bowser has more of a fanbase than Ganondorf does. Ganondorf is the biggest leech in these contests. Hell, you can probably make an argument that Sonic is SFFing Ganondorf right now!

Ah well. I didn't have too much faith in Ganondorf and after this I have zero faith in Kirby, which I believe kills my bracket. A shame!

Congratulations, Sonic, for your first good match since 2006.

That theory is...completely ridiculous, I have to say :)

I wonder what this means for Bowser...he's always been weaker than Ganon and it's not like his two performances were impressive.


...they weren't? I was under the impression that Bowser utterly pillaged all over Frog before decimating Kefka... I thought both of his matches were impressive performances, especially after Sora sucked it up.

Ganondorf (2006c) VS Sonic (2006c)

Ganondorf has a strength of 35.16.
Sonic has a strength of 38.70.

Sonic wins with 54.57% of the vote!
A win of 12,206 with 133,439 total votes cast.


Wow, assuming that this match stays fairly consistant, this actually looks somewhat.... consistant with 2006 stats. Amazing how Sonic team can go from being a sucky bunch of sucks in the first round, to looking like their old selves in rounds 2 and 3.

I'll agree with others, Bowser is a very likable villain, whereas Ganondorf assuredly is not. Bowser's particularly awesome in the Mario RPG games.

Both are possible! Sonic SFFed Luigi before, so him SFFing Ganondorf isn't completely unreasonable.

never hammered 47 like he should have, lost to snake by one heck of margin, sora just refuses to impress.

You have Ulti definitions of pillage and decimate. Bowser's performances were expected.

Heck, if Frog = Magus, Bowser/Alucard is a 55/45 match! Magus > Frog, and it gets closer!

His Frog match was meh given how terrible Crono and Magus looked (though Crono not so much in retrospect) and his Kefka match was a bomb for all intents and purposes, though it seems like that was more Kefka boosting than anything else (once again in retrospect)

After the way CT's performed, the performance on Frog was very unimpressive, especially considering what Frog would've done to him overnight.

Jury's still out on the Dissidia boost, so I have no idea about Kefka...but Kefka, too, would've done some hefty damage overnight.
