Fox has been really solid in all his contest appearances. Surprised people seem down on him. He's outpaced Falcon and MK before and those guys could give Alucard some trouble (Falcon almost beat him, even).

I'd probably have him second in the x-stats in this fourpack.

Alucard > Sub-Zero

The site becoming more niche favors cult classics from the late 90s in my estimation, so I think Alucard is a pretty good bet here. Jill and Sub-Zero could be close though, so she probably loses by 27 votes.

As far as characters that consistently got questionable pictures, we didn't even know what to do with GLaDOS until Portal 2 came out. First there was the closest thing that existed to a full torso picture, which is this.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/board8/images/3/35/Cb7-11.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081118005610

Then we got the idea to use the Cores as GLaDOS despite not really being her, and then they finally released Portal 2 which gave her something resembling a torso. It was actually really hilarous that we got Snake vs. Kefka vs. GLaDOS in a freeform match picture round.

He wouldn't have to be to win, but if the CBIX results are legit, he would be.

Also, Tifa didn't drop a bunch, so it's possible Aerith didn't either.

I'm willing to side with Aerith still being decently strong, if not because Shepherd managed to look decently impressive in the face of the Last Place Factor to end all Last Place Factors.

Or at least it used to be. Seeing Godot and Estelle among this year's winners means we've just run out of good options or that's not really the standard anymore, but I didn't run it this time.

I feel like some of the non-NRT rallies we have going on are more likely to win matches than most of the NRT, like Metal Man, Metal Sonic, the last few Melee snubs, Monika, etc.

Fucking Kate from Life is Strange might make it in.

"Oh."


Nothing personal, I helped get Spring Breeze Dancin in

But Kate is a tertiary character from a game that is hardly mainstream. Even Max or Chloe are probably fairly weak and Kate even moreso.

Secondary

But it still came off as a bit dickish to say about a character that a long-time member of the board obviously really wants to see in, and that goes for Aqua as well. Kate is a character that resonated with me on a deeply personal level and I really want to see her represented. It's not like I'm trying to get in some joke character to deliberately see the bracket filled with turbo fodder (though I admit it's nice that our community is strong and tight-knit enough that we can help get each other's characters in like this).

Out of the things I've rallied/tried to rally in:
Characters 2010 - Jigglypuff
Rivalries - Conker/Great Mighty Poo
Characters 2013 - Rinoa
Games 2015 - The Beatles Rock Band
Characters 2018 - Kate

Only one of those was as a joke and I only got the idea because it was already on the auto-suggest and came up when I tried to do Cole Phelps/Jack Kelso and the little devil inside of me decided to go a different direction. But the rest meant something to me to see in, The Beatles being my favorite band, and Jigglypuff finishing off the Smash 64 roster.


Chill

I'm just saying, I personally think even Max getting in would be a little bit unexpected (though with a really big field, I guess not). Kate getting in would be even stranger. Kate getting in and not Max would be the strangest.

So far, Chloe and Kate are on the drop down form. Max is not, so we could very well see two LiS characters in the bracket with neither of them being Max.

I really think limited amounts of non-original VG characters would be a nice compromise, like one per division. This way the vast amounts of spots are going to actual video game characters, but we expand the amount of viable heavy hitters that could do damage in the later rounds, since we would only bother with the likes of Darth Vader, Spider-Man, Batman, Goku, James Bond, etc. while leaving out stuff like Jane Eyre that nobody even knows what good or memorable video game they are in.

It's not like we could even get a good read out of Mewtwo's first two matches. First one was Mewtwo scoring 80% which should be considered an unreal blowout in a three way, but then you realize one of the participants was Chester. Round 2 is the closest we've got to an accurate read if you assumed Phoenix was stable, or maybe a bit stronger than usual with Dual Destinies on the horizon, but maybe we can amuse ourselves with the thought that Vincent was constant (hey, he was like 11th in the unadjusted stats!).

This is definitely a good year to bite on a Kratos upset, but I think Zero is a bit out of his league regardless. It's just hard for me to imagine GameFAQs taking a current flavor of the month over a character that invokes strong nostalgia like Zero does. I feel confident Big Boss would beat anyone in this pack, though Naked Snake would definitely help.

And I would entertain all four of these guys over Dante, considering he hasn't done much of note since DmC.

Well, if Aqua has at least 100 votes based on the Guru and it can get in with a decent seeding, I think trading 15 characters plus the ones from casual folks may be a good investment after all.

I wonder how lucrative keeping a rally going in on the first page might actually be with this many max nominations. I wonder how many casuals would start nominating their favorites, run out of ideas at about 10 or so, and would actually click on the board and see some of these rallies based on the topic titles and bite on them until they get to 20.

Also, I'd like to see Locke get another chance now that he's in Dissidia because he finally has some decent artwork to choose from. Dissidia giving Kefka better stuff to choose from seems to have done wonders for him, if nothing else.

On that same note, get Rinoa in again (although her Dissidia design is inferior to the original but whatever).

Celes beating Seifer with her Amano art is wild, though she did have cutscene art on the poll page which might have mitigated that.
