The first one was really fun, and great to see that this time they're putting comedy up front instead of misleading in the trailer. And can't complain about more Jessica Rothe (and Rachel Matthews, who even earns the closing line as her character is hilarious).

Yeah, I just searched "lose" and only got the previous topic, then I scrolled down and there was "why did they lost".

I'm making this my vote, just because.

For Mario-Sephiroth, that is.

The people on this topic continue to surprise me.

"Yeah, you've got a great butt."

And this just after I saw a Snake-Zelda dating video, where he complains that crawling has hurt his spine.


Wish I could think of something related to that, or his Brawl codec ('This rose has thorns, indeed. And now Snake's night had its dawn, and our cowboy sings a sad sad song"). Anyway:

I've also been doing a similar N9 research, but among outsiders, who has faced the most people of this illustrious group.

Zelda: 5 (MM 03, Snake 05\18, Samus 06\10, Link 07, Mario 08), going on 6?

Because most of Pikachu's fame is not due to the games? And overexposure eroded Pokemon until around the DS era, when it was finally acceptable to like the series again?

Back when people actually came to GameFAQs, the match went the right away (and I say that as a huge LoZ fan), and in spite of Snake having a horrible match pic - https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/board8/images/a/a0/Cb05b37.jpg

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2102

But Nintendo boosting, Metal Gear falling (and the most recent games are even about Big Boss instead of Solid Snake), all are coming down to this. Maybe Snake can recover. But while he remains losing, it makes 2013 even more painful. FUCK YOU, R/LOL!

That song certainly played as @ninkendo saw the results, for sure. After all, her stream of MMX earned a "TIFA YOU BITCH!"

Not that I disagree with Claire, only when she becomes more active by the final third of the movie her personality turns tolerable. And it continues in the new movie (which is even more divisive!). But yes, Adam is a huge part of why people hate Other M - thankfully I haven't played it yet - and the matchup would be a rare case of shared hatred/anti-voting.

Haven't heard people express hatred for Torgo, only for Manos itself. Holdo, on the other hand, you're onto something - her sacrifice is a great action, but her contributions to the plot before, goddamit.
---

ALL HAIL! King of the losers!

On name alone, Claire has a disadvantage (maybe with a picture of Dallas Bryce Howard, some people might back Ms. Running From a T. rex in High Heels), even if Other M ruined the goodwill Adam raised with Fusion. Torgo must have more fans/joke support (Manos has a cult following, plus MST3k geeks, that must outnumber the League of Draven when not rallied into a swarm).

Can't remember if I've beaten SMB3 in Super Mario All-Stars, but this year I decided to beat the GBA version after seeing some idiot teens () fail in it. On my phone, no less! No matter if the emulation gives save states, it was hard to win it all.

For how much I love World, the one time I beat Bowser was using the Star Road shortcut. The game is so big, and some levels are just abusive.

Zen, do you have a screencap of least the first post in TheStupidRaptor's second topic? (should've taken it while it was still on Google's cache...) The wiki page on him only has pictures of the first.

And thanks to all who discovered the badger wars! I just had to include them in the Lame Edit Wars page (I even put a shout out to B8 in the edit history).

And with the Ribbon to cancel all the effects other than "countdown to death". The shield that results teaches Ultima, a spell you clearly don't need (along with Meteor, the one Odin taught) given your grinding has led to superhuman levels.

How come? I thought returning to Mobliz and talking to Terra and the people there were enough to bring Phunbaba back.

Anyway, two visits you could do: Opera House, and Figaro Castle (in the latter, ask the engineer to dive the castle, and when it stalls, go inspect the basement).

The CG looks fantastic, it was my favorite Disney movie growing up, so I must see it. But yes, that's one movie I don't see why remake it. Come on, at least Jungle Book had a human to justify a live action treatment!

Still, it's much more promising than Aladdin. The only time Will Smith had a role comparable to the Genie was on Fresh Prince.

Had all four removed at once. Anesthesia knocked me out, and I was still a bit groggy walking back to mom's car. Got swollen in the recovery, but wasn't so bad given I remained calm and quiet, except when using your mouth for things other than eating\drinking (along with speaking, once my father cracked a joke at the table, when I laughed felt everything being pulled, quite uncomfortable). Only problem later was that after the stitches were removed, one of the holes where once was a tooth got a bit painful as food entered and "fermented". My sister suffered much more on the occasions she removed said teeth, one at a time.

While the contest doesn't return, we'll be doing matches for older contests that never got voted on because someone forgot to. Or maybe the topics purged before we copied the results to the wiki, who knows. I've linked the matches in question below for easy examination.

The Rules
1. Explain why each character (or just one) lost his or her match. The explanation can be based on either the loser or the winner.
2. Anything to the effect of "fewer votes" will be disregarded.
3. Vote for the explanation you think is best.
4. Don't reuse an explanation from another day.
