Lightning finishing in 3rd isn't impossible, but it would be a Groose-level bomb (which... okay, thinking about it, sounds practically impossible). About the only thing that isn't going in her favor with this setup is the time of day.

It would be pretty funny if Donkey Kong finished last. I imagine more people like Falco than DK?

And yeah, I consider it more likely that Falco beats DK outright. DK getting SFF on someone just sounds off.

Eh, its kinda like those people who thought Dragonborn would finish 3rd. Theres only so low she can go here.. she can easily win the match and still be disappointing.

If only he could've gotten Returns before the site turned against the Wii!


This again?

The Wii and its games are separate. Lots of Wii games do well. DKCR looked great in its GotY appearance, considering the SFF-festival of a poll it was in.

Of course, it was also on the 3DS so there's that.

If she puts up a Balthier level performance she could get 3rd.

That would be pretty sad.

Against a bunch of Wii games. This is a circular argument.

Lightning put up 36% on Sonic without a game to her name... I doubt she loses to DK or comes close. She should be flop of the round if she loses this.

This is Division 9. Lightning has an easy win while Falco and DK fight for second.

And since DK is DK, he'll end up choking in the end and Falco will end up snagging second.

I decided to look at round 2 and realized I was already hesitant on the first match

Raiden is a turd and Yoshi is going to get destroyed by Link, most likely. I'm not sure which one is going to be the bigger turd. Like, if it was anyone that had any semblance of strength I would go with the non-Yoshi option but... Raiden man. Raiden


Raiden's not fodder and will reap virtually every Link anti-vote there is available. Raiden has a much greater chance of making Link look bad - real bad - than he does of losing to a Yoshi that couldn't even get 20% the last time he was matched up with Link.


Fodder? Um...when has Raiden ever done anything impressive? Granted, he's usually been put in awful situations, but...

2003: Put in a bad situation, facing SFF from Solid Snake in round 1. Absolutely annihilated.
2007: Barely breaks 20% in his opening fourpack, but that's just good enough to top Sam Fisher for second place. His opening fourpack was right next to the Jakpak of Suck, too, so he actually managed third place in his round 2 exit. Characters beaten: Sam Fisher, Simon Belmont, HK-47 (and indirectly, Jak and Lloyd Irving, who lost to HK-47 in round 1). Not particularly close to second place.
2008: Did okay in beating Kain Highwind for second place, with Professor Layton a distant 4th. Still well behind frst-place Master Chief, though. Round 2, he's back to a distant last place, getting more than doubled by the third-place finisher...Big Boss, whom he unfortunately LFFed out of a win. Granted, Big Boss had a Naked Snake picture in Round 1 and an old man pic in Round 2, but BB crushed Kirby in round 1 and Kirby went out and got first place in round 2.
2010: Didn't get enough nominations to make the field directly. Landed in the infamous Vote-In #1, where he managed to add Yoshimitsu, Dan Hibiki, and a heavily-SFFed Jigglypuff to the list of characters he's beaten, but lost to someone named Alex Mercer from a game I've never even heard of. Also, suffered his third SFF beatdown as The Boss was also in this poll and finished second, only behind Missingno.
2011: Hey, no SFF this time! Which means that unlike the 2010 vote-in, Raiden was actually able to win his vote-in poll. Technically speaking, this means he's finally beaten a midcarder, as Yuna was also in that poll. Then again, this was Rivalry Rumble, and Vamp makes a much better "rival" than Seymour does. Remember, Yuna/Seymour came in third in that vote-in--behind Banjo/Gruntilda. (Side note--remember how we were talking about closest margins, even in places that don't count? 9th and 10th place in that vote-in were separated by only 4 votes.) Come the actual bracket, Raiden and Vamp put up a decent effort in losing to Frog/Magus.

All in all I'd say his best contest so far was Rivalry Rumble. 2007 was okay, too, which makes sense because that's the only other one where he failed to run into another MGS character. So against double Nintendo, he'll probably look decent, but I'm still not convinced that he's worthy of being called a midcarder.

Unless DK SFFs Falco in the grave (aka not gonna happen), it would take Kerrigan 2005-esque levels of strength to lose this.

DKC1 did pretty well, actually. Or maybe it was more Doom doing so badly that it couldn't take advantage of DKC1 getting LFF'd to win.

And to think, Doom beat Earthbound effortlessly in the first Games Contest!

Ahem, I said SINCE Gordon 2002! He's the reason I didn't go 'contest history'. Nobody will ever be Gordon 2002.

This just ain't true. A good comparison is this match:

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Donkey_Kong_vs_Kratos_vs_Marth_vs_Prince_of_all_Cosmos_2007

Kratos won easily, but he didn't go berserk or anything. You need real strength to win, even in a poll like this.
