Yes.

Wow. I don't think I'd take a Call of Duty character over even our worst chokers.

LMS, you missed charmander's point, I think. TP's win over Galaxy in 2010 was smaller than Mario Kart 64's projected victory there.

Come to think of it, it seems to me there's a fairly consistent pattern of Mario Kart giving awesome performances in polls (contest or no) with lots of options but looking just awful 1-on-1. Granted we haven't gotten to see SMK or MK64 1-on-1, though it doesn't sound like anyone would be surprised if they end up weaker there than the data implies.

With an insatiable desire for destruction Jay frequently butts heads with General Barton over the balance between caution and just going out and decimating the opposition.

...Sounds like a rivalry to me!

Set Mario/Bowser to 45% or so instead. When you can have 15 nominations, there's not going to be any notable SFF; you can nominate Mario/Bowser, Link/Ganondorf, and have 13 choices to spare.

Mario Kart 64 vs. Super Mario Galaxy
I...think the latter would win but if you take this result seriously it implies the former has a shot.

Or perhaps that SM64 isn't as strong as we thought.

No, because Yellow was released later on rather than simultaneously.

It's a clear rivalry. One is on the cover of red version and the other is on the cover of blue version.

Ridley's not strong, but he sure looked better than Liquid last contest!

[NO BARKLEY NO PEACE]

Yes.

This can't mean good things for Alucard.
...Which means even worse things for Magus!

I'll join the protest too!

That Snorlax you just called fat? Yeah, it's eating rare candies by the dozen for you to accept it. That Gastly you just called ugly? It's been trying to learn a new move to replace its Mean Look. That Slowpoke you just tripped? He has a learning disability that makes him legally retarded. See that Hitmonchan with the scars? He fought in Vietnam for your freedom today. I bet 80% of you won't put this as your status if you're against PokeBullying. Help Pokemon with a visit to the Pokemon Center.

Assuming we get Solid Snake/Liquid Snake and Samus/Ridley, do their relatively weak partners cause them to lose to anyone besides the obvious top 3?

MMX/Zero vs. Tifa/Aeris. Who wins and could either of them beat Sonic/Knuckles? Sonic/Robotnik?

I don't know why Cloud/Sephiroth would beat Link/Ganondorf. Are there honestly Zelda fans who would vote for Cloud just because he has Sephy with him here? Link and Ganon very clearly have the same fanbase, as do Cloud and Sephiroth. The fanbase that usually votes for Cloud against Link will still vote Cloud/Sephy and the Link fanbot crowd will still vote Link/Ganon over Cloud/Sephy. What's wrong with my logic here?

The problem is that you reduced all Link voters to "Zelda fans" and are disregarding the possibility that someone actually could have the opinion that Sephiroth > Link > Cloud. Maybe there aren't enough of these people to push Team FFVII to victory, but they exist. There certainly are a considerably number of FFVII fans who prefer Sephiroth to Cloud seeing how Cloud has never quite been able to double his villain. On the other hand, Link pushed Ganondorf down to 12% in 2004 (and Zelda to 13% in 2007.), suggesting he has few real fans who don't also like Link.

Black Shadow is the best choice.

Over 4 million views.

There is no way those insane Monkey Island fans are going to fail to get Guybrush and whoever in with that many rivalries.

The blog is still there. They made a post about the Finals.

And they do mention the contest on the front page. It's right below "In the Mix."

On Crono, If Magus is already taken by Frog and we don't want Lavos, we should probably just choose Gato.
Seriously.

do it.

I'm in.

So which block is L-block's rival?

this must get in.

Will Magus make Frog choke or will Frog make Magus win a close match?
This is important, guys.

How does anyone under 20 even know who Launchpad is?

There's a good chance many of them don't.
It doesn't really matter. 4chan knows who he is, 4chan wanted to screw with this contest, so they made him win.

ART

Yes.

Thank you for sharing, angry crow.

Yes.

HaRRicH had a good essay on gamespot about why this happens there:

Of course, we all know the real reason Launchpad is winning:
http://uncutohh.ytmnd.com/

Lots of pokemon matches have 4chan rallying. GTAIV vs. RSE., Bidoof winning the first hour against Vincent, Missingno.'s insanity last contest...

You pretty much have be either Pokemon or from a huge console game to be worth anything.

We need to Isaac vs. Niko or something next contest, because people clearly still haven't learned their lesson.

The site would be hopeless either way in a Character Battle without Link. You'd have to eliminate Cloud too.

Cloud should certainly be the favorite in a Link-less bracket, but I wouldn't call him a lock.

HK-47 has the lead on Garrus now.

Daxter is up to 47% on Alyx. 4chan could conceivably take her out this round if they tried.

Congrats on leaving the Bottom 10, Yoshi's Story.

...So Epona is stronger than Cube on gamestop. Valve is generally better over there than here while at this site, well, the LAW. Cube got 35% on Luigi last character battle, so based on the above Epona could theoretically manage 40%, indirectly at least. Which would put her on par with Amaterasu. Or at least pre-MvC3 Amaterasu.

Epona had extended her lead and her percentage is decreasing pretty slowly now. If she wins here, her next opponent is Otacon.

...Epona's going to make the Final Four, isn't she?

Looking like Epona has a legit chance against WCC.

Moogle is really moving. Only a few hundred votes to go.

It can't "hate" oh free speech; it can restrict it. Every country has some restriction on what most people consider free speech. This is not a bad thing.

It certainly is a bad thing in this case! Terrible, even.

Why? Because it adds a nuance to how America views free speech?

Because it clearly is anti-free speech and you're bad people for supporting it. Far worse than the people it would punish.

whether you agree with that or not, it is not at all the same thing as hating on free speech or wanting that guy go to jail, so stop acting dumb and say it is.

Eh? It most definitely is hating on free speech.

Moogle has started a comeback against Cortana.

He probably still loses, but at this point I give him better odds than Diddy. >_>

Still interested in hearing what makes GBA ToP so much worse than the SNES version if anyone cares to explain.

Shouldn't be long now until Einstein has the lead.

Einstein's coming back. Less than 1000 votes from Yoshi now, almost 2 days left. This might not even be a tough win.

What was so much better about the SNES version?

Yoshi is not looking good to me here. Einstein is behind by only 1500 votes and has almost 3 days left to come back. That should be well within 4chan's capabilities.
