Lopen's Analysisx4

Zero v Primrose
Not too much to talk about here other than placing how far above 75% Zero goes. I'm thinking not much. I'm expecting a slight Mega Man downturn and Octopath seems like the type of game GameFAQs would like and I noticed some talk about it when it came out, so she'll probably be around Neku's level, maybe a bit weaker. I expect Zero to be weaker than Ganondorf this year. So yeah probably slightly better than what Neku did overall.

Zero with 77.04%

Zidane v Knuckles
Kind of a coinflip match. I like (well, don't like, go Knuckles!) Zidane to win. Vivi looked like a powerhouse and I've always felt Zidane was probably a bit underrated on these. The times of yore when Knuckles beat Magus are long ago-- I don't see Sonic stock as going anywhere but down over the past what, 13 years. I think that's the last time Knux did anything relevant in one of these.

Zidane with 54.05%

Noctis v Master Hand
I could see this going 60-40 in either direction, but my gut is that Noctis takes this fairly easily. I feel like Master Hand in 2005 was benefiting from the inanimate object vote which has been run into the ground by now so he should be weaker than ever. But I mean, you could tell me Nintendo voters are in force this year and will vote for literally anything Nintendo and crush Noctis and it wouldn't surprise me that much either. Don't mistake the high percentage for high confidence.

Noctis with 62.78%

Monika v Wario
I think Wario is a roadblock that will be up to the task to stop any rally from getting momentum out of the gate. The Doki reddit isn't very big, and while the reddit is actively encouraging to rally, Monika is likely dirt weak without any rally force. Keep in mind that Draven, had he faced Wario in round 1 a few years back, probably would've been stopped cold, as his non rallied strength (from a much bigger reddit) was below that of Chie Satonaka. I imagine Monika will be at that or weaker, and Wario is significantly stronger than Jak or Chie so I mean, yeah, it's not going to be trivial. I also think that any sort of round 1 rally is more likely to be mostly legitimate and not straight cheating as outside forces are going to have less time to figure out how to crack the system. So yeah Wario gonna win.

Wario with 64.49%

Hm yeah I do kinda think any rallied votes favor Knuckles. Had not considered that when throwing my bracket together.

After seeing this Vivi display I still kinda think Zidane wins though. I know Vivi has always been stronger but man he's looking like a legit Mario killer here

I'd put my money for Sully to beat Spyro (though by less than Aya) but I guess we'll see.

To be fair though I meant to put "he's a major character in an iconic series" not that he himself is an iconic character.

Well there's only a squash left so to pass the time till the next post I'll throw in my group of 4 unofficial guest analyses to stir up the Tidus vs Donkey Kong pot a bit more. How am I not higher than the entire crew on this?

Lopen's Analysisx4

Vivi vs Yu Narrative
I mean I dont believe Vivi is a legit Mario smasher or anything, but Yu isnt Mario, either. He is, however, decent fodder. Probably the strongest random RPG character from something that isnt made by Square well see on the site. Im not sure thats enough for him to even see the 40s but you know, the 30s? Yeah. The 30s.

Vivi with 64.02%

Victor goddamn Sullivan vs Aya Brea
Im pretty sure Uncharted is well established at this point. And Sully is a fan favorite from the game, so he should get his votes. I honestly expect Sully to Pac-Man the more niche Aya Brea, here, if nothing else. Hes an iconic character from one of the bigger franchises of the past 10 years. It took some time for Nathan Drake to be non fodder, but even in the last contest he was showing signs of being a decent low end midcarder and projecting at 5 years ago. With that much more time to stew, Uncharted should have its foothold.

That should be plenty enough to just ruin obscure characters. Aya Brea has even less reason to be believed in than Spyro. Young-uns of the era didnt play Parasite Eve. I also dont think either character comes off as particularly photogenic here so Sully probably wont bend the knee to the bobs punching votes.

Victor Sullivan with 56.55%

Tidus vs Donkey Kong
This will be the first true test of whether the PS2 era icon theory has any merit. The main character of arguably the biggest RPG on the PS2? Thats an icon, people! Why is it only Dante that is brought up? I expect Tidus to kinda smash this one even if its close on paper given contest histories. I think TIdus will be closer to Squall levels of yore than his old ones. We kinda saw signs of the starts of this with MissingNo matches in 2013which people are quick to discard because MissingNo but its impressive nonetheless.

Tidus with 60.60%

Mr Kennedy vs Fus Ro Dah
If the dragonborns name was like Shin Majindor, I think it would have a legit chance to be something worthwhile.

Now Im not saying I named the PC from Skyrim Shin Majindor, but its at least a name. Something people who played Skyrim could get behind.

Id vote my PC in Skyrim over Leon Kennedy. She was a cute vampire ninja with purple twintails. I guess she had the power of the dragon too and was technically called a dragonborn, but she looked nothing like this random Nord with a helmet.

Leon Kennedy with 65.88%

I feel like it might be tougher to vote stuff a match in a way that isn't blatant when you have to vote for four options. Monika's chances are probably dead with that in mind. Probably not enough prep time for some motivated mind to figure out how to crack that. Or it might just be as simple as RNGing the 3 other options but I don't really know how votes are processed from the form.

Meh I never sweated it too much because killing magicite isn't a waste of time outright. The clear rewards are good. Back in the days of keystones it may have mattered a bit more but yeah.

If they had kept that paradigm going with the 5* Magicite though I probably would've caved.

Well I bet Drake vs Sully would be close among the polled fanbase (Drake would squash Sully on GameFAQs don't get me wrong), but no I wasn't meaning to imply that he's more popular than Drake. Just that most people who have played the game actually like him more than him just being a character that exists (like pretty much all of the rest of the non-Drake cast)

Nathan Drake passed the Pac-Man test in 2013. Even 5 years ago the series had enough following that people on this site can reasonably be expected to know who Sully is. And since he's a fan favorite the majority of people who know who he is will vote for him. Feeling the CURSE pretty hard on this one.
