Can I laugh at the people that thought Kirby > Ganondorf?

Kirby > Bacondorf or Kirby > Ganondorf?

No for the former, yes for the latter.

This essentially proves that Sonic is still lower than 2006 through Luigi/Kirby and Luigi/Bacondorf

At least he's not as low as 2007/2008!

Kirby was going to have a hard time leading Sonic longer than it did, because the UK has a much easier time voting at this time of the day than in a night match. Kirby might have done better with the board vote of a night match.

And the reason people are hyped for Mario/Megaman is that the upset is actually possible. It was more likely than this one was after last round- 57% on Bacondorf was enough to all but kill this.

I'm not seeing how Sonic is doing well here.

Unless you define "SONIC IS ****ING BACK" as "Sonic is managing not to get killed by Kirby 5 minutes in"


He lost to this opponent last time without any weird SFF opponents in the mix. If Kirby is at that Luigi/Yoshi/Bowser level and Sonic manages the 55%+, that's pretty damn good after what we saw from him in 2008. He probably gives Vincent/Squall/Auron one hell of a 1v1 fight, which is also a bit better than most of us expected from him.

If this was the product of a 'normal' board vote and not a Nintendo-infused, upset-starved Kirby favoritism wave, I could see people saying Sonic is sorta underperforming here. As it is, he's gonna end close to - if not above - his percentage on Ganondorf, I predict.

Aw well Kirby.

And it's hard for me to believe in Ganondorf > Kirby considering how they did last year (the character who defeated Sonic being weaker than the character who got SFFd down to Gordon Freeman's level, and by a character who usually sucks at SFFing no less?).

And while it makes perfect sense that Sonic characters take a hit in 4-ways, I would've thought that Kirby would take a hit as well, but then again I don't really understand why Kirby fans are more loyal than Sonic fans. Blah.

One difference is that Sonic isn't going to increase from this point on as much as he did against BluePigDorf, especially considering the ASV. Oh, and we need to see Ganon's LttP concept art used in a match pic. Would be the worst pic factor ever seen!

The match is actually really close in N.A. It's probably too early to call, but Sonic might fall off a little bit from here.

And Kirby's keeping it close in North America and getting brutally slaughtered in Europe. Chances are he improves after the first hour rather than falling to Bacondorf's level.

Omitted scores got it wrong.

More or less what you would expect from Link. 3 out of every 4 brackets overall had Link winning the division. 1383 out of the top 1388 brackets had Link winning. You have to go all the way down to the -73s, the 119 brackets before prediction percentage falls below 90. From there the prediction percentage slowly fades away.

No one fell off the Top 50.

You can't be happy about being right? Also this wasn't about Sonic/Kirby it was Ganondorf/Kirby and how Kirby was overrated based on the standards of this board.
