Finally got around to Bomberman 64 and Hero earlier this year. Didn't quite 100% either but I beat the secret boss on both.

Neither's single player is great but I preferred Hero's. It was much more action-packed and just seemed more fun on a basic level. Collecting everything necessary to unlock the final areas was less annoying in Hero. And the Bomb Jumping in Bomberman 64 was REAL janky. Bomberman 64 of course wins multiplayer though, because it actually exists!

Would play Second Attack next but the prices on that one have gotten ridiculous.

Didnt it already happen in the past with Mario and Crono and stuff?

spoken like someone who wasn't here

the reaction to Mario/Crono II was insane

Was it has bad as Link/Shepard/Draven ? Worse ?

There's also that one great classic picture about the match but I haven't been able to find it. I don't see it linked on any of the obvious pages on the board 8 wikia and it's not in ngamer's archive for the 2003 contest.

Potentially overrated edition: Leon

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3837-midgar-division-round-3-leon-kennedy-vs-ryu

Leon having a miserable Resident Evil Gaiden picture was blamed for this in 2010. Maybe that was all this was.

2013 was more concerning. Leon lost 4% against Gordon Freeman (!) from 2005 to 2013.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2095-20xx-division-round-1-gordon-freeman-vs-leon-kennedy
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5239-character-battle-ix-division-5-round-2-shadow-vs-leon-vs

Given how total garbage Gordon looks now, I'm skeptical that this was Gordon going up in strength. And HL2 and RE4's poor 2015 showings are cause for suspicion on the both of them.

Leon then totally collapsed against Cloud and Squirtle.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5257-character-battle-ix-division-5-final-cloud-vs-squirtle-vs

That's arguably sort of reasonable given the competition were very strong characters locked in a close match but neither of them should have normally been capable of SFFing him.

So this looks pretty bad for Ganondorf?

Pretty much all of our good evidence for Ganondorf being one of the top non-Noble Niners is from like 2005-2008. He wasn't in 2002. Barely beat Tidus and actually lost to Grand Fraudmaster Magus in 2003. Only had a match with Alucard in 2004 before running into the mother of all SFF against Link; he did well enough considering how Alucard looked in 2003 but if you consider how he "should" have done based on Alucard 2005 instead you could also say he didn't outperform pre-KHII Sora by much.

People made excuses for 2010 Ganondorf doing poorly on Sonic (easily worse than Kirby did) because of Bacondorf, but I mean, it was the Ganon from friggin' Link to the Past, not Zelda 1. And then 2013 Ganondorf got total losers Guybrush Threepwood and Max Payne before running into Mario and Vivi so pretty much no meaningful data at all that year.

How sure as we that Ganondorf is an enduring character outside the context of Twilight Princess hype and the couple years after its release?

By the way, what does "rise to heaven" mean? What's that a reference to? No entry on the B8 Wiki for it, far as I can tell.

@The_Owner_of_FF9
It's what FFVII's percentage used to do back in the day; it had a terrible board vote and bad power hour but spent the rest of the match increasing its percentage, typically ending around its highest of the match.
