I had to turn off my console completely and turn it back on before the check would go through, and I'm on Pacific time.

Man if Joker ended up being just the first DLC I wonder who the other four will be.

Wasn't Piranha Plant one of the DLC?

He's like a pre-order bonus of sorts, but he doesn't count towards the remaining five slots. Joker does.

Persona 5 Joker announced for SSBU. A bit too late to save him, though.

Maybe now he'll actually get a Joker match pic.

For those that don't think BOTW could beat the elite on this site

Remember this hell site put Brawl over Melee.

Once, barely, in a morning match immediately after Brawl came out and people didn't know it was trash yet. Melee would beat the shit out of any game in that series except Ultimate.

Immediately? GotD was almost three years after Brawl's release.

So of all the things to stay, Cloud looking lousy in 2013 was legit.

Who do you think would put up the highest numbers on Link? Considering SFF and such.

I'm still holding faith in my almost absurd Mario > Link final, but nobody is coming close to touching Link until the finals.

Missing the other Link pic.

Indeed I was, thanks for reminding me! Also, the pics don't appear to be truly rotating.

They aren't going to rotate like they did in Years. You just have to refresh.

Hm, what about LFF?

LFF is not really relevant in this contest. It stands for Leeching Fanbase Factor, where in multi way polls, characters or games with similar fanbases leech from each others voting pool, allowing other entrants in the poll to look better, even potentially placing over characters they normally wouldn't beat.

For example, if Link vs. Mario vs. Cloud occurred, Link and Mario would essentially SFF each other, which would almost certainly guarantee Cloud a victory over Mario and possibly putting him above Link.

Also, two of those brackets are the Cookie and Mr. Bad Picks, so they don't really count towards the total.

I feel like Knux and Tails just had some lucky draws. Nathan Drake and Master Chief just aren't relevant on this site anymore and Zidane was probably just overrated while people thought too much of the Knux vs. Cecil match back in 2010.

Mega Man learned Pikachu's moveset and weakness from his previous loss.

I always think I'm going to either jump up or plummet from the leaderboard. Perfect day? "Maybe I'll shoot up!" Got one match wrong. "Oh God how bad will it be?"

I only move two spots at most either way.

The primary leaderboard probably isn't changing much until Mega Man vs. Crono. Everything until then is going to be stuff that everyone gets right (like Samus today), or everyone gets wrong (like Snake today, who most would have picked Sonic or even Zelda).

Snake's ugly ass green sprite would have absolutely mattered against someone like Pikachu. Maybe not as much as it did in the past, but yeah. It's just he was against another character who is likely hurt by sprites as well.

Yeah, he was definitely fortunate to draw Auron and his Record Keeper sprite.

For the rematches, Mega Man looks worse and Bowser looks better in the pictures. Yet Mega Man is doing better and Bowser's doing about the same as last time. That's more evidence that popular characters aren't that pic-sensitive, as long as it's not something completely different like Sprite Snake.

There's also some rationale that maybe the characters may not be as picture sensitive as they used to be with lower votals with a greater percentage of people really familiar with these characters.

Snake's ugly ass green NES spirte may be less potent now than it would be in 2007.

It's possible people were just upset voting when the elim didn't matter and now it's SERIOUS. I kinda thought rematches would just favor the loser but maybe it's more complicated than that. Or maybe it's just noise.

Mega Man vs. Pikachu also suffered from lower votals due to it being the first day back. It's possible some of these Mega Man voters missed the first match.
