If you also include newly relevant characters, probably Geralt of Rivia or someone from The Last of Us.

I probably wouldn't take that, though I can see why agter CT's last run.

I'm also including in my disbelief how Sora's beating Sephiroth and scorching Squall after all the close losses he's taken to Squall.


Well, that's because this isn't a "which is your favorite character" poll. The parameters are different, and voters have proven repeatedly that they know the difference.

Like who would be the strongest character from the last five years?


Well, the obvious contenders are Noctis (FFXV), Joker (Persona 5), Joel/Ellie (The Last of Us), or any number of Overwatch characters. Maybe even 2B based on her showing here.

Aqua from the KH series is another potential contender. Actually, Aqua would be very interesting to see in a Character Battle as she's confirmed for KH3 and the E3 trailers have spawned a meme about Aqua being Norted (not technically confirmed, I guess).

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/aqua-got-norted

It would be pretty hilarious if Aqua's first official contest match was getting her Norted picture as a match pic. At least Norted Aqua's picture wouldn't cause much confusion among voters familiar with the KH series as Norted Aqua still resembles regular Aqua to some extent. This potential match picture situation is nothing like the Zero Suit Samus picture back in 2006 because ZSS looks nothing like Samus in her Power Suit. Plus, ZSS showed up in a contest match not too long after being confirmed for Brawl, so many voters were unfamiliar with ZSS prior to the match with Tifa.

thanks for shilling for BK but Aqua's ceiling is pretty low

also BBS is 8 years old

Prior to KH3's official release, I would agree her ceiling is pretty low. If Aqua does have a major role in the plot of KH3, it would certainly boost her strength based off what her strength might have been prior to KH3 (below the fodder line). I'm not ruling out the chance that KH3 puts her above the fodder line once the game is out.

BBS being a side game (originally on the PSP) means that not a lot of people are familiar with the game. However, this has since changed because BBS received an HD release on consoles, which introduced the game to a much larger audience who did not play the game while it was exclusive to the PSP.

Thank you for continuing to state the obvious, but it does not change the fact that BBS is 8 years old and Aqua doesn't qualify for the question that was asked.

Also, Aqua won't be stronger than Riku at the very least, and I'd be skeptical that she'd even be able to be stronger than Kairi.

I'm kinda surprised he's doing so well since I hear more people clamoring for Simon Belmont, but I guess any Castlevania rep would do.

Also this definitely adds a bit of fuel to the Waluigi Contest Run, though since he's not really dominating here I'd be wary to take him over higher midcarders in a R1 match.
Not_Wylvane
Simon Belmont is the default because of his ties with Nintendo (including Captain N), Alucard would be more popular, but I doubt he would get in over Simon.
Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru
If memes can turn Captain Falcon from a character almost everybody knew about but almost nobody actually cared about into a solid midcarder, I can buy Waluigi maybe pulling something similar. Also he already looked to be around the fodder-line in 2013 anyways. Raiden pulled 22% against Link and Yoshi combined and Waluigi got 44% on Raiden the round before.

hey man it couldn't be helped

we had to have Spring Man on this poll

also this is a pretty impressive showing for 2B all things considered

makes me want to nominate her for the Character Battle


Seems like Allen was trying to aim for diversity in this poll, meaning not stacking the poll with Nintendo characters or other characters that have only loose ties to Nintendo.

2B's performance in this poll is impressive for someone with zero ties to Nintendo.

Seems more like a technical issue than anything since it's a Drupal error message (Drupal's pretty much a content management service, like a more robust version of Wordpress). We wouldn't be seeing that error if the hosting wasn't paid or whatever.

Pretty much, yet somehow probably not. I'd be interested to see what'd win between Mario 64 and Majora's Mask, though.

Mario wins that pretty easily, unless you think Super Metroid gives it a run for its money lol.

Five Nintendo games and four Rare games...yep, looks like a Nintendo 64-poll. I'd like to see those two companies divided on N64-polls in the future for two polls instead of one, but, you know...not likely.

SM64/LoZ:MM needs to happen. I'm siding with SM64 after getting burnt on my MM > LttP upset, but it'd be a good match and it would settle the #2 game for the system.

Move Mario 64 all the way to the end and it's close to correct. Paper Mario would need to move up a little bit, too, I guess.

As someone who was frustrated by Majora's Mask when I played through it, I disagree completely.

I don't hate Brawl, but come on. It was a fun game to play for a year and then it meant nothing to me.

honestly if that match had taken place at the height of the "DO U KNO DA WAE" meme we might have had a match, but if you are going to put meme against meme then the meme-factor cancels out and you just get Link vs Knuckles
