Relative to the anonymous user vote. 2B has a +3% split compared to Bowser's +4%.

Because the drop from registered users to unregistered ones was smaller for 2B than Bowser.

Kirby has always looked most impressive outside of 1v1, so I'm not surprised that Bowser looks more impressive so far. Nonetheless, it's still a great performance from the dum pink ball, and Bowser is by no means a lock to win.

Charizard doesn't have even a sliver of a chance to win the division, sadly. :(

Now crack that combination:

I took Ellie too, only because I just figured KOS-MOS hasn't been relevant in literally a decade by now, and The Last of Us is extremely well-regarded. But based on the voting patterns so far, I think people are just going to see Ellen Page vs robot anime girl, and the result of that is obvious.

Ike vs Joel was never in question for me though.

i would say KOS-MOS gets a boost from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but she probably gets a number of anti votes from people who are/were angry over how difficult it was to get her.

No. She was a rare draw in the game's gacha system but was probably one of - if not the - most popular of them. Said gacha mechanic is at the core of Xenoblade 2.

Maybe that's my fault for having no clue who Ike even is, since the only Ike I know is from South Park.

Just don't get how Joel could do so bad. He was the only character of my favorite games represented that I thought would do good, since who didn't love The Last of Us. And he will probably be the only one who doesn't even win a round.

Again, just don't get it, one of the highest rated games ever, where even people I know that don't really care about games love it, and he loses in the 1st round.

I had a couple family members who you couldn't pay to sit and play video games for more than 10 minutes who would ask me to play The Last of Us since they loved the story so much. Just so strange to me he is losing so bad.

No, FF9 was right. If she wasn't KOS-MOS she wouldn't have been any more important than any of the other rare blades. And that unlock system was so bad. I got lucky and got KOS-MOS without too much effort and I still think that was a terrible system.

These contests aren't about quality they are about popularity.

Ike is the most popular character of Fire Emblem, which is an RPG and nintendo. He is also in smash. All those things are huge in gameFAQs. Joel is from a western shooter. Those aren't big in gameFAQs.

It's unfair but that's how it goes. This place was built on nintendo and rpg love, so the people who stuck around after all those years were the ones who prefer those things.

Mewtwo is the one with the big question marks for sure, because his path could end next round if he's a complete fraud, but if CBIX Mewtwo was legit, he could go all the way to Sephiorth to prove it.


Do we really think CBIX Mewtwo was legit? I thought we rallied around Mewtwo because we thought Pokémon would be the easiest thing to get a rally for that we could actually accept winning.

*checks bracket*

Oh GODDAMNIT. Why did I take Mewtwo over Tifa? And over MMX the round after that, too, although that one I still feel comfortable about if Mewtwo makes it past Tifa.

We'll see how Kefka's division shakes out but it's getting hard to see him not at least knocking on the door of our non-NN elites.

Magus > Vincent is also looking pretty plausible now!


You mean it didn't before? Oh, right, because Magus has been hot garbage in these things for a long time now. Well, whatever, I'm still sticking with my theory that the reason we all overrated Mewtwo is because we thought that a win over Vincent in 2013 actually meant something.

I hate the gacha system too but that's not really the point here. (I'd also contend it's not really an unlock system because to me that implies you need to reach prerequisites. Blade Resonance is straight RNG. You could hypothetically get KOS-MOS on your 1st attempt. Or... it could take over a 1000.)

I don't see you denying that KOS-MOS is popular though and that's the point. Xenoblade 2 "made her relevant" again even if you want to argue her appearance in Xenoblade 2 was largely a cameo. It was something people got excited about.

There's a difference between her appearance in Xenoblade 2 and say... Project X Zone. I wouldn't at all argue Project X Zone was something that made her relevant again. For a more extreme example, take T-elos.

Yeah, I didn't realize KOS-MOS was still relevant, and it's not like it's a generic guy that KOS-MOS can just TJF.
