I just realized that "Missile" didn't refer to the large bullets from Super Mario Bros.

We could have yet another near Chester here...WTF is "Phantom Detective"??


yeah that ("bullet"?) and the "angry sun" would be two cool new "characters" (at least way better than all those pokemon I read about in the last topic)

Indeed, I've wanted Goomba in these things for a while. Think Goomba would have legit strength.

And with inanimate objects allowed, there's tons of stuff that would have strength and would be preferable to the endless Pokehorde that people mention when talking of new characters. Give me Master Sword over random Pokemon #NXYZ anyway.

I would have picked Groose if I had known he was from a Zelda game (Zeldrones...!). Yoshimitsu is the only character I've heard of there though, and I'm guessing most voters have no clue who Groose is (Skyward Sword probably has the lowest playrate of any console Zelda since Zelda II).


Majora's Mask sold the fewest copies of any of the 8 main console Zelda's.

There's no doubt that the playrate for Majora's Mask crushes that of Skyeward Sword on this site.

Fado is not a character from OoT, but Wind Waker.


There was a Fado in both games.

Many of the regulars here had sold or otherwise abandoned their Wii consoles by the time Skyward Sword hit. It's also probably the most love-it-or-hate-it Zelda game since Zelda II. I'm personally a huge fan, but the game is very onerous of the Wii's motion-controls, and well... I guess motion controls just aren't for everyone.

Still should be plenty enough for Groose though. It's a freakin Zelda game against Tekken and Dynasty Warriors.

Speaking of weak characters Kat could be among the weakest in this bracket. While she may be the strongest Vita-only character that is not saying much. She also appears in Playstation All-Stars, but she is a DLC so she is likely not to get much support from that.


Kat was free DLC, so pretty much everyone who played the game should have her. She's also probably the best character in the game to use.

Nominate Lady Bow instead.

And I kind of feel bad for Kat. She's not going to be in this next match.

She's free, but she came out way after release when I'd already lost interest. I imagine that situation applies to a bunch of people.

Probably doesn't matter much since they have distinct names. "Kat" could be any number of characters, though.

Probably helps "Shadow the Hedgehog". Clearly the most recognizable name to the casual viewer.

It would probably help Kat the most for reasons TRE said, may hurt Yu a bit.

Kate's gonna suck but I'm sure she won't do THAT badly. She could probably beat Curly Brace Chancellor Cole.

Ignore the fact that I had to name characters who have never been in a contest.
