Huh, got on expert challenge leaderboard thanks to Draven. Woo I guess! Still burns to have swapped Tina and Juliet last minute though...

I disagree. I still have him losing, but SCII Nightmare probably is the best bet to go with.

I suppose it might be the most recognizable for people who haven't played an SC in awhile, but it's Nightmare at his least badass.

Seriously the worst font ever. If you don't recognize the character from his picture you can't barely read his name


But all you have to do is look below and see their names. Would be better if they had no names displayed in the pic, IMO.

luckily there's the much more readable text next to the vote bubbles. lots of match pics don't even have names in the pictures.

Can't say I like that Barret picture, would rather him have his gun arm somewhere in the pic. Though he should be strong enough to move on so maybe SBAllen is saving that for next round.

Also, KOS-MOS! Dammit, why did Vincent have to be in this match!

Not to bring this back to the last match, but I really don't understand why so many people in the last topic (and this one) have said that the fanbase doesn't like Draven. He's an incredibly popular character. I played 2-3 games of LoL a day, and people absolutely love him. I mean, look at this:

http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1hy1ge/the_real_league_of_draven/

Would that video or those comments exist if he was hated, or even disliked? He's probably the most loved League character after Teemo. (Well, Teemo is hated as much as he's loved, but he'll get votes.)

I still don't think Teemo's that popular. You know who I think is the real LoL Big Man? Garen. Who doesn't like DEMACIAAAAAAAAAAAA?

Match IX: (7) Mega Man X vs. (12) Welkin Gunther vs. (21) Jigglypuff

Previous Contest

Mega Man X – 2010
65.72% against Captain John Price
61.14% against Pokemon Trainer Red
32.72% against Link

Welkin Gunther – N/A
N/A

Jigglypuff – N/A
N/A

Analysis

For a strong character we do not have much information on Mega Man X though the reason for that is he has been up against new characters or Nintendo opponents. The only information we could use is an indirect Revolver Ocelot and he is not the most stable character. Overall most people agree that he is not as strong as Mega Man, which I agree with, but at the same time he does not seem to be too far from him.

I do not expect much out of Welkin. While Valkyria Chronicles pulled off the upset against Disgaea in the Game of the Decade contest being placed alongside Laharl is not somewhere you want to be. Laharl may have looked a bit better in 2010, but he is nowhere near a beacon of strength.

It took a 243 character contest, but finally we have all 12 original Super Smash Bros. characters in a contest. Pokemon has 11 characters in this contest, the most out of any series outside of Final Fantasy. There is an easy reason to why it took Jigglypuff so long to make the contest and that she is likely the weakest of the original 12 strength wise. She will also likely be the weakest character from Red/Blue to have reached the contest, but that says more about the strength of the game.

Mega Man X will have no issue taking first with Jigglypuff having no issue taking second. Sadly with both being new characters we will not know Mega Man X’s true strength until next round against Ryu.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Mega Man X > Jigglypuff and Welkin Gunther

charmander6000’s Prediction: Mega Man X – 56.47%, Jigglypuff – 27.93%, Welkin Gunther – 15.60%

I always get excited about Pokemon matches. I don't think Jigglypuff has a chance to win or anything, but I think it will be a lot closer than people think.

Valkyria's probably one of the few cases where the villain would be the strongest character.

Selvaria should be in this match, not Welkin.

Though she would probably get embarrassed too, just not this bad.
