If Vivi beats Mario then that means that according to stats that he beats all N9 except Link 1vs1?

Mario is doing better on Ganondorf (70/30) than Samus did in a 2008 4way match (67/33). Mario really isn't looking bad relative to Ganon which does not offer the indication that he has fallen off. This is just crazy rallies and Stand Out Factor.

If Mario can barely outSFF Samus, he's looking really bad! That was always something he was way better than Samus at.


We've always assumed Mario and Samus are relatively equal indirectly. Assuming a constant Ganondorf, this performance means Mario would beat Samus with almost 55% before SFF. Mario is not doing badly relative to Ganondorf; there's nothing there that indicates his intrinsic strength has fallen from a few years ago.

Link/Snake with no Mario is going to f*** Snake over pretty hard, though.

Oh man, what if we get Big Boss/Snake/Charizard!

Based on cn's 2010 stats this would still put Vivi below Link, Cloud, and Solid Snake (assuming you wanted to completely ignore Ganondorf here).

Because we aren't voting for the best character, but the character that will produce the most butthurt

It's sad but this is the truth


If we were voting for the best character, almost none of these nintendo characters would win since they all pretty much lack any characterization at all. They get votes because their games were/are cool, not because they are good characters.

Speaking of which, how does Vivi look when you compare his performance on Ganondorf?

Holy crap what is this!!!

Oh man, go Vivi. Love that little guy.

I mean it would suck that Mario loses so early, with another stupid LFF situation...but never did it ever occur to me that GANON could leech Mario enough that he loses to Vivi - especially when Ganon is getting completely crushed to boot! Yet he's still leeching Mario just enough, freakin' amazing.

Given that this is through Nintendo SFF performances, it seems to me it would be closer to Mario/Samus after SFF.

I think you missed the fact this is rally powered Vivi

Hey Nanis, you're gonna try and get Missingno rallied for next match, right? If so, can you set the topic up early and mention this poll? I'd be curious to see how Pokemon fans vote in a situation like this.

(If you're not doing that, no reason to mention this poll of course)

Mario's getting some pretty ferocious counter-rallies. This isn't like Auron. Ganondorf leeching is the main culprit here.

Not sure
I don't see much potential with missingno
Although,after L-Block match maybe...there is still hope for missingno to do some amazing things
But stil..Missingno won't advance over anything with Red in the match (not even if Vivi makes it next round and won't get rallied..the LFF is going to be too much)

Vivi is also long overdue to take advantage of a fanbase split. If it hadn't been for Tidus leeching him in 2007 he would have beaten Pikachu and then been the one to beat Dante and Leon for first in the next match. We could have seen Vivi in the contest quarterfinals and possibly semifinals that year.

After so much bad luck in bracket placement (and this is pretty bad luck, too!), he deserves a little time in the sun.

Vivi can easily lose if the rally just... runs out of gas. Mario can easily retake the lead in around 2-3 updates in that scenario.

I'm still highly skeptical it maintains itself the full 12 hours, but whatever.

Even on updates that get less than 300 votes, Vivi manages to extend his lead. Like, matches that don't even get rallied have managed to have 300+ vote updates around this time.

Kind of hard to pin it all on the rallies at this point

I'd estimate L-Block/Auron being a 37/40 kind of match would interference and it the numbers were similar up until now. Unless something really weird has happened it probably means this is a 43/40 kind of match for Mario so even if the rally stops Vivi isn't that much behind him on raw strength.
