Still undecided on my vote. Also, who will I vote for in the Draven/Snake/Mega Man finals? I haven't played any of their games!

Mind you, this performance is still definitely good enough for #2! It's just......very uninspiring for a character who seeks to beat Link 1v1.


We probably will never see the Link that got less on Alucard than Snake or only 60% on Raiden and SFFed Yoshi again, so I figure why bother <_<


in taking down Link, LoL fans only made him even stronger
LINK
ALWAYS
WINS

we were so close to Phoenix Wright > Sephiroth.


We were well on our way to Phoenix Wright > Link before the rally started back up. Phoenix was within 1% of Link before the comeback started.

truly, the greatest travesty of the Draven rally restarting

So we get to see this kind of brutal poke LFF happen again during the bonus poll

Mewtwo/Squirtle/Loser of Samus and Mega Man

...or god forbid it's Mewtwo/Squirtle/Red.


Nah. Not unless Samus's collapse goes into overdrive. Mega Man already beat a stronger Pokémon character under tougher conditions, so the only possible outcomes I can see are Mega Man > Samus > Red (my pick for expert) and Samus > Mega Man > Red.

That's exactly why her fanbase is among the most broad. It's so broad it can barely even be identified as a cohesive unit.


It is a cohesive unit. It's called "the Nintendo fanbase".

It is a cohesive unit. It's called "the Nintendo fanbase".

The WHOLE Nintendo fanbase, spanning from SMB1 to SSBB, is extremely extremely broad. And Samus pulls in a lot of votes from outside the Nintendo fanbase even. Her fanbase is far broader than Pokemon could ever hope of being.

Again, I am puzzled as to how this idea of Pokemon being a particularly broad fanbase started.

Looking at geolocation, it seems to me Squirtle is beating Pikachu in most first world countries, where it became cool to hate pokemon at some point and the anime in particularly and Pikachu hate still lingers a little bit there even among the pokemon fanbase, while Pikachu's macotness is propelling him to wins elsewhere.

I remember postulating that Snake would win the Male Bracket because he was the manliest character in the contest.

If only I had followed through with that in my bracket making!

Oh well, still got Sonic > Crono right!

Friendly reminder that Sonic has beaten a Noble Niner more recently (without the aid of LFF) than Mega Man, Crono, and Mario.

I wouldn't have even needed to use that parenthetical note if not for Link/Mario/Samus/Crono in 2008!

Squall came back on Vincent in 2005!

Also Vincent/Crono if it counts

I made an alt a few days ago and just for fun I entered it into the Expert challenge to see if I could beat Devin by the finals.

It's dead if Squirtle wins though.

Because Game Boy (Color/Advance) was the only viable option for a handheld for an entire decade, and even after Sony released a competitor it was always way behind? Seriously, this was the same reasoning that produced the "Pokémon is more independent than other Nintendo" theory. Even if you were a Sony loyalist (or later, a Microsoft loyalist, but Microsoft showed up a generation later and Game Boy's monopoly started with the demise of the Game Gear, which was SNES/Genesis era), if you wanted a handheld, you pretty much had to bite the bullet and go Nintendo.

I mean, I know you guys don't believe in people who only get one console per generation, but it's not always economically feasible to be "fair and balanced"!
