I'm JUST SAYING. It continues to surprise me that no one is debating this - Ness isn't even much weaker than Alucard, and Shepard is stronger than GlaDOS, and look where we are. Ezio, Gordon, Shepard - all the recent western characters are doing poorly.

I mean, I've got GlaDOS in my battle and bracket, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ness wins it, and if he does I'm blaming all of you for not making me scared enough to bank.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Someone said about 1st seeds.For sure Phoenix is the weakest 1st seed in this contest and probably in all contests.I mean let us look predictions:

Mario:More than 98%
Mega Man X:More than 83%
Trainers:More than 88%
Samus:More than 96%
Link:More than 97%
Phoenix:Barely above 57%!

Next are Cloud and Squall.Pretty sure they will have above 80%.So yeah Phoenix is the weakest!Nice!

I wouldn't be surprised if Ness puts up a big fight. I don't have much respect for the Chell part of that rivalry, having only played Portal 1. I don't even think it's a Western character thing as much as it 'is this actually a decent rivalry, if you aren't a Portal freak.' Still think Glados wins, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's close!

Add Portal 2 to the mix, and you can see why Chell/GlaDOS is the favourite.

The rivalry is significantly expanded on in Portal 2. If any 'rivalry boost' happens there, Chell/Glados will win it, although probably not by as much as some people think due to pic/name shortcomings.

I was thinking about it, and the thing is, if you're familiar with Portal at all, you pretty much know who those two are, even if you don't know who Chell is right away. I think Chell's lack of face time keeps the pairing from being near-elite, but since the Portal games pretty much revolve around this rivalry, I think their strength will be pretty well-stated.

A lot has happened to Portal since we last saw GlaDOS, free Portal and Portal 2. I would take GlaDOS > Ness this year. Just look the jump in strength of Portal between the games contest and the game of the decade.

No one cares about Chell. I love GlaDOS, love Portal 2, but Chell? She isn't like Gordon, who gets a ton of storyline significance. She's just a player mouthpiece who you can't see.

Chell helps less than Saren does here, rivalry wise. Not that Gigyas helps either, but when both duos have an anchor, why not go with the strongest character?

Well, I haven't actually played Portal, and I already knew who she was before Portal 2, so I think our equal-yet-different anecdotal evidence balances out to a happy medium somewhere.

I don't know. I think her strength is deceptive. I think she's one of those characters who is ridiculously weak, but once she's placed alongside her rival, boosts to ridiculous levels.

This is one of those rivalries where thinking of the game makes you think of the characters, and thinking of the characters makes you think of the game. They're really tightly intertwined, and once people realize who the character is, and what game they represent, they'll show quite a bit of strength.

Chell is awesome and has fans. I resent the notion that no one cares about her and am actually significantly offended by it (really and truly). I've only played P1 and was rooting for Chell the whole way through. As for the idea that Chell is even more worthless than Saren... good luck finding Saren cosplay.

Chell definitely isn't bringing anything on her own, but she's still probably better than Giygas. Glados vs Ness is probably what this match is.

Well put.

She actually gets minor amounts of characterization in Portal 2, mostly through what Glados says to you.

No but seriously guys. No one cares about Chell. You guys might, but GameFAQs as a whole would have her getting blown out by just about anyone. Sometimes, part of loving a character is recognizing that no one else cares about them. Welcome to the life of a Ness fan.

I disagree. The rivalry is what this match is, and with two popular games and a growing series in the last four years, Portal has the rivalry edge. Earthbound has never even been re-released. Not even on Virtual Console. Its fanatical fans won't matter much even with the halved votals, not when it's so old and ancient.

And seriously, I've noticed that cosplay is actually a reliable metric to judge the worthlessness of a rival, especially the #2 guy.

Rodrigo Borgia
Dr. Breen
Saren
Black Shadow

Try finding cosplay.

Now try for Zero or Scoprion. Hell, PT Blue has cosplay, and he's competing with BILLIONS OF POKEMON.

Waluigi is one of the notable exceptions, however.
