Failing to double Isaac after beating Link two years prior isn't very successful.


L-Block is one of two characters to ever beat Link. I'd call that successful.

Charizard on the whole is probably stronger, since he's not a joke and therefore should have somewhat consistent strength.

Failing to double Isaac after beating Link two years prior isn't very successful.


L-Block has gone further, Vincent is stronger, Charizard is bigger and more orange

There are no MissingNo. supporters boosting Charizard here. The votals here are going to be much lower than any of MissingNo.'s day matches.

I think that between the person that expected the throttling before the match and the one who insisted there was practically no chance - actually that's not fair who even cares about this match time for Snake to shine


I also said HGSS being released today was Charizard's one chance to win, and he's running with it. Unless you actually think Kratos beats Bowser 1 on 1.

Omitted scores got it wrong.

The results are what you would expect from Mario. The top tiers do really well with the top 343 going perfect. It isn't until the 143 brackets that prediction percentage falls below 90 and starts fading away.

No one fell off the Top 50.

HG/SS doesn't make up 5%. Charizard would be winning here with or without it. He would probably be doing worse, though.

there's no guarantee snake beats sephiroth or vice versa. It's going to be close, and now the contest essentially comes down to Palmer vs ExTha. Very interesting, two of my favorite users.

Failing to double Isaac after beating Link two years prior isn't very successful.


If this percentage holds up, Bowser wouldn't be doubling Isaac either though it would be very close by less than a percent >_> <_<

Bowser is doing better in North America. Once Europe goes to bed and the I JUST GOT BACK FROM BUYING HG/SS AT GAMESTOP effect wears off, he could make this look a little more respectable.

Like, say, not losing to Kratos.

Lots of people always assumed it was realistic. This is just a reminder that anything plausible can easily happen in the later rounds. The last two years demonstrated it, and I'm betting this contest demonstrates that it can happen in 1v1 as well.

The 'Zard is definetely beastly enough for me to vote for him over a bunch of other guys. But I did vote for Kratos, L-Block, and Bowser over him (not Mr. Duke though).

Finally, I think Snake > Sephiroth still has a chance of happening. Snake did only 4% on Fox than Sephiroth did on Marth, and with the way everybody sans Kefka from that half division of the last contest has disappointed here in someway Fox could definetely be ahead of Marth.

Fox vs. Marth, who've you got?
