I still can't believe Groose lost as bad as he did. He actually has memes and stuff. The fanbase loves him.

I think Skyward Sword is going to be shockingly weak. Like... unspeakably weak for a Zelda game.

Only ten percent of the users of this site are under the age of eighteen? So we have a bunch of adults voting all these Pokemon through? Well I'm proud to say I haven't voted for a single one. Lol. Don't get me wrong I like Pokemon I just don't view them as good "characters". I put them on par with inanimate objects. Joke characters if you will. I don't vote for those either.

SBAllen calls the Pikachu match correctly.

He knew exactly what he was doing to Crono!

Well duh! He knew what he was doing to Mega Man too.

Him and Ceej both have this morbid fascination with completely stupid SFF/LFF matches.

Final Crono Stats

Crono ends at 46.20% on Pikachu
Crono needs Magus votes to split 76.57% or better to win 1v1 there.

I really thought (hours ago around the beginning of the match) that these would look better than this at the end. I'm taking Crono 1v1 but wow.

Considering Pokemon RBY came out 15 years ago it is likely that fans of the games are adults.

Omitted scores got it wrong.

Pretty high support for Pikachu in the top tiers and decent support in the middle as well. We do lose the last -14 (112 points).

12 people fell off the Top 49. oblongman7, Runemistress, TeamRocketElite, _Harmonica_, _SecretSquirrel, akaCitizenSnips, greengravy294, KamikazePotato, Lucky_Gamer, SubDeity, vcharon and BlAcK_TuRtLe did not have Pikachu winning. I'm probably off the leaderboard for good now.

4 people got it wrong and survived. Former second place EdBellis, th3l3fty, Billy_Gates and mathmagus37 also did not have Pikachu winning.

If you're reading this, can you be sort of be more specific? My score was 97 and its 99 now, so just asking where would I be. Roughly, would 100+ points will be considered high/mid tier?

Oh man, Sora is beasting a night poll. These guys truly suck.

Bahamut should have been in ages ago.

Back in the 2K3-2K5 days he would have been high midcarder.

Won't be as strong now as Square has fallen off, but would still beat most fodder very easily.

Even the little banner on the front page wasn't that impressive, compared to what we've seen in years past.

The front page banners always caught my attention when I was a casual visitor, like the one that tied different entrants to the seven deadly sins, but I don't think this one would have left much of an impression on me. It's pretty small and unassuming, and the front page is already pretty busy, so it could easily go unnoticed.

The highlighted olive green tabs we got for Game of the Decade and Rivalry Rumble were pretty good reminders too.

I consider top tier to be the top 1% or so. Middle tiers are the bracket near the mode so around 84 points before Pikachu's win.

And this, along with Nightmare's sudden drop confirms Morrigan being the only fighting character not directly related to Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat actually worth a darn in these contests.

She could be high end fodder just off of design alone, but I can't imagine her being much stronger. SNK only gets noticed at EVO time. Though Mai should never lose in Mexico, lol. (They're crazy for KoF there)

Though I am kinda curious how Felicia would do as she's essentially Morrigan-lite.

Mega Man as a series has looked super-strong

With Pikachu/Crono, Pikachu was the solid favorite, but there was ample debate. There was like no debate at all for Zard/Mega Man. Zero's leeching powers are light years beyond Magus'.

If Zard blows that match, it becomes one of the biggest turds of the contest. It would be ridiculous.

Zard has a better shot at losing to Zelda than losing to Mega Man.

In fact I'd say Zelda had a non-trivial chance of beating Zard if DK wasn't there. DK won't do much, but the little he does will affect Zelda more than a Pokemon.

Part of me thinks that Zelda should stand out in that match pic, being the only human character against two animals (and possibly the most "mature" character in the match).

Skyward Sword Zelda would be some nice pic sabotage, don't kid yourself

Zelda already got a SS picture in round 1. She's got a lot of pics to choose from, so it would require another round of Vincent-gate for her to get one again.

Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave.

Zelda should get an Ocarina of Time pic. Anyone submitting anything else is sabotaging her, consciously or unconsciously! OoT Zelda might not be *that* much stronger than another Zelda, but it would definitely be her most powerful form.

(unless it was just a plain horrid pic, but I think that would be hard to find for OoT Zelda)
