Tidus beating Missingno would be enough of an achievement that anything else beyond that would be gravy for him. Dude hasn't won a debated match since 2004.

Not that this is particularly debated or anything.

Missingno has a lot of legitimate strength. I'd be shocked if Tidus won, but I'll be rooting for him.

L-Block had a very favorable match. I wouldn't take getting 60% against Teemo and Palutena as indicative of great strength. It's probably still around where it was 3 years ago.

Man it's not like Squall isn't still killing this poll, and Rayman should be a good deal stronger than he was way back when.

We can call for Squall's head when he's rolling over to Missingno or something (or not, really there's no telling with that thing)

I guess Mario/Squall/Red could in theory have Squall come relatively close.

Zack nearly beat Mario when he was being held down by a fanbase split (and if only he and Vincent had done a little better that year...). Now granted, it was Link dealing the damage in that case, but the point is he might get a scare put into him.

don't know why you'd use a poll with the one character that actually SFFs Mario instead of getting SFFed

Because in multiway polls the stronger character can get hurt just as bad as the weaker character. Granted Link/Mario SFF is gonna be too much to ask for. But Squall is a whole different game from Zack. Mario/Squall/Red at least has an outside chance of being interesting, especially since Pokemon has that irritating tendency to not fold, even when it really hurts their Nintendo allies.

I took Drake over Blue in my bracket, but that was before Drake kinda sucked against Pac-Man. Blue's about where I had him, but I figured Drake would be more popular than he is. I guess there's Game & Watch to consider, but I dunno.


There's no way Drake is losing to someone who struggled with Lee Everett.

Good lord, the votals in this match are ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. It's tracking behind even Lugia's match in vote totals.

Total votes for Lugia's match at 2:08: 7412
Total votes for Squall's match 2:09: 7214

We could be looking at a match ending with less than 22,000 votes.

Yes, but Master Chief and Corvo don't fit into that since they wear very distinctive outfits and masks.

I mean, that's what makes them...not generic. They have standout designs.


Corvo having a standout design, what a laughable notion.

Neither does Master Chief, for that matter. Though again, I just came up with that explanation in his case to help myself with how Chief's games did well in GOTD while he himself still consistently craps the bed.

Mario/Missingno/Red is, like, tailor made for Missingno to die in. He's really got to hope he can somehow get by Squall while Cecil can squeeze past Red at the same time. Even in that circumstance he's got to go up against someone who's probably stronger than Sephiroth in a 24 hour match at that point.

...if he can get by Mario he's got a decent shot at winning the contest, though he'd have to dodge Charizard and hope for a Samus/Missingno/Mega Man semifinal, and then another L-Block style perfect storm to beat Link.

Tidus is worrying me against Missingno, 46% against Sub-Zero was no joke and I do feel like with the demographic shift on the site the hatred that always inhibited him is starting to wane like it did for Squall and Pikachu. HD remake on the horizon and all these dissidia appearances where he came across quite well can only mean good things for him.

Tidus did almost beat WCC in round 1 in 2008.

Finished way behind in round 2, but depending on what you think of Missingno, it's not out of the range of possibility.

I hope Rikku can use the fact that the previous match also features an inanimate object to her advantage.

Back to Tidus/Missingno, there's no way Tidus wins. Damn RBY nostalgia coupled with silly joke voting against "it always wins" FF. No chance the voters make the right choice in that match.

Well, I think we're well past the time when ? Block would've been worth anything. Should've got it in back in 2008 or nothing. I just don't think people are going to be particularly drawn to voting for it.

But then again, I don't really get the mentality of people who vote for inanimate objects as jokes, so I could be way off base!

I don't think Missingno. could drop to Tidus. People remember Surfing on Cinnabar Island and making infinite nuggets, Master Balls, and TMs too much to let Missingno. lose that match.

However, I don't think people have that same nostalgia and fondness over the ? Block. They just bounce it and grab their coins/mushroom/starman/whatever.

Master Chief's is ubiquitous among power-armored space marines everywhere, and not just in gaming.

And I don't understand how Corvo's is at all appealing to the average voter, at least in comparison to big-haired, big-smile Sissel.

I'll admit though, that the only reason I considered the upset was because of Sissel's dog doing silly stuff.

Haven't Pokemon and non-Pokemon Nintendo typically never split much.

I'm banking on that since I have Charizard in the final lol...and (the) Snake(/Cloud winner) winning anyway due to standout factor plus Charizard taking a bite out of Link.

Because Mario struggled with Zack due to massive Link SFF and probably some LFF from X too, doesn't mean that Red can hold Mario down. Even if it makes a difference, the gap between Mario and Squall is too big.

Squall's expected to break 42% on Mario with what I'd consider a *really* optimistic estimate for Mario's strength. Certainly doesn't fall below 40% unless Squall's gone off a cliff. And we've already seen that Mario can get held down enough by a weaker character enough to lose. Zelda nearly cost him a match against Mega Man X, and she was getting SFFed. If Red is at all comparable to Zelda and can resist getting SFFed (and *this* is what Pokemon is really notable for), he's going to be in a dogfight.
