So... Ryu/X, Phoenix/Marth, KOS-MOS/Dunban, Chrom/The Boss, Alucard/Falcon, Booker/Gilgamesh, Lee/Meat Boy, Nathan Drake/Steve, DB/Yuna/Tifa, Creeper/Wario, Zelda/Lightning/Charizard

This is looking much more interesting now.

Semi obscure my ass. Even if you'd never played FF5 before you saw this, who DIDN'T mark out to this total badass?

GIlgamesh is recognizable, he's in a billion FFs, and he has a godslaying design. He's gonna win it, and win it hard. NOW WE FIGHT LIKE MEN! AND LADIES! AND LADIES WHO DRESS LIKE MEN!

Pick them to win in the test bracket. BOI!Isaac is against Link and GS!Isaac is against Snake.

Isaac could be a good test for Snake to see if he has moved any closer to Cloud as he's an okay Fodder-liner

So many lulz.

Three 18-seeds named Isaac.
Leon vs. Wesker in round 1.
Edgey vs. Morrigan.
Mega Man screwjob is officially in as the most powerful challenge to Zero making R3 is friggin' Kratos Aurion.
Tharja's see-through bodysuit vs. DLC bikini Juliet. In Division 1. Did Bacon's higher-ups at CBS teach him that trick?

...And, yes, a winnable match for Gilgamesh.

Going with Subby there until I see who their spoiler is. He's made too much noise in these things not to trust. He's come through in the clutch repeatedly, too, so there's no reason not to say he passes the eye test.

My first gut instincts on these are...

Chie
Dracula
The Boss
Garrus
Alucard
Sly Cooper
Yu
Gilgamesh
Seifer
Yuna
Wrex

May change my mind later though.

That's a toughie, but I think X can take it, depending on who the spoiler is. Ryu's good, but not that good, and X has done well against Link, who even has SFF against him. I like him in that match.
#397 | KanzarisKelshen | Posted 6/8/2013 5:35:29 PM | message detail
As for Yu/Shadow...gonna be honest here. It's a longshot of longshots, and an upset pick. Yeah yeah, this is a multiway poll, there's the 'Not Shadow' sentiment and all, but Yu is gonna be weak. His baseline is probably Laharl or Neku, while Shadow's baseline is 'lost clearly but not badly to Amaterasu'. Do you think either of those doesn't get doubled by the dog?
#398 | KamikazePotato | Posted 6/8/2013 5:35:35 PM | message detail
Master Chief is (relative) garbage these days. I haven't even checked who he's against, but he probably loses in Round 1 again.

Chief/Yuna is going to be debatable because it's a day match. That really complicates the issue of predicting who wins that one.

I know x-stats are not to be trusted, but using the '10 values, Yuna wins 59-41. They are masked by the bodying Megaman administered to Ryu Hayabusa, but even if you pitch Chief up a couple points, he's still reeeeeeeeaaaaaally far away from Yuna. And he's Master Flop, he's not coming through in a close match. I'm not seeing the upset hype there.
