"Best overall character" probably means across the whole series. Pikachu was the best in 64, still top tier in Melee, Brawl and Smash 4, and looks to be the best again in Ultimate (so far). Fox, according to top players who tried him in Ultimate, feels much worse than any other Smash game.

PIkachu is def not top tier in Melee now. Fox, Marth, PEach, Falcon, Jiggly, Sheik, Falco are all above him. Viable sure but not top tier

Otherwise he's the overall best across the series yeah

For reference here's the top 10 of that list

1. Shadow of the Colossus > Metal Gear Solid 2 2010, lead maxed at 188*
2. Team Fortress 2 > Fable 2010, lead maxed at 210*
3. DKC2 > Xenoblade 2015, lead maxed at 290
4. Ocelot > Dedede 2018, lead maxed at 328
5. Persona 4 > Dead Rising 2010, lead maxed at 347*
6. Garrus Vakarian > Ramza Beoulve 2018, lead maxed at 418
7. Frog > Liquid Snake 2004, lead maxed at 460
8. Tifa > Mega Man X 2018, lead maxed at 469
9. Ken > Albert Wesker 2010, lead maxed at 471*
10. Metal Gear Solid 3 > Shadow of the Colossus 2010, lead maxed at 515*

If you remove the 1 vs 1 stipulation then this match also has it beat

Vivi > Mario 2013, lead maxed at 204*


Then that also means that this would be a new record for 24-hour 1v1s. The DKC2-Xenoblade match holds that record right now; the top two were both 12-hour matches. Actually, the early rounds of 2013 were 12-hour matches too, weren't they? So this would be the overall record for 24-hour matches.

I think we couldn't really call them the Noble Nine until 2006, when Solid Snake won over Mega Man and Sonic won over Crono. Both Snake and Sonic needed 4 contests to get a big win, instead of looking like the upset will happen one day. Then Jay Solano killed the concept when he won over Link. ;)

Damn I have to go to sleep. Hope the rat does it. I never understood why MM is so popular anyways. Yeah the games were good. Like 30 years ago! I believe the NES games were the best right? Yeah I know nostalgia.


Sonic, Mega Man, Cloud, Sephiroth, and Crono have are all 20+ years past their heyday and their still among the strongest contests have to offer.

I'm in the minority, but I got into Mega Man through Mega Man 64, Mega Man Battle Network, and Mega Man Xtreme, which all released around the same time. I made sure to play the NES games afterwards because I loved all the other ones I played.
Nah, Crono's not 20 years past his heydey. That was probably the early 2000's. Final Fantasy Chronicles in 2001 was probably big for him, but SNES emulation getting better and more widespread over time might have been even more important.

9. Mega Man - 45:1

Wow, interesting stuff. Though there are definitely some oddities on that page, such as "expected seed" being dictated by X-Stat finish within the division, resulting in the #5 character in the X-stats being "expected to be a 4-seed" while the #62 character is "expected to be a 14-seed". And that's from the same division! Mega Man murdered his first two matches, resulting in his second opponent literally finishing ahead of only his own first opponent and Mega's first opponent, and then both division semifinals and the division finals were really close, resulting in the four of them finishing #2-#5 when Sephiroth put up a better number on Link in the Semis than Mario did in the Finals.

Actually now that I look at it, outside of the two matches where Mega Man murdered everyone, the West Division held up really well all around! 8 of the top 14 finishers in the Raw X-Stats came from that one division. Kind of fluky though; Tidus managed to get unexpectedly close to Sonic, and that was a round 2 match so he dragged his first opponent up with him.

Some small rallies on reddit for both early in the day. Seems like it probably helped mega man slightly more than pikachu based on feedback on that sight but hard to say. Pokemon is probably more active so might end up having a higher number drawn here even if people didnt upvote or post.
These minor spelling errors were brought to you by an ipad having no real feedback to enable me to know when i mistype and my own laziness.

2006 was the year that the Noble Nine finally all had wins against another member of their group, but it should be noted that most of the characters who had been in every contest and, at least at first, had only lost to Noble Niners had lost to one of those two. They were the bottom of the Noble Nine, to be sure, but any attempt to expand the Noble Nine would give them wins against fellow members of whichever expansion you wanted to use.
