nice

this is probably one of my better rankings I've had. Probably would've done better if I'd picked First Step Towards Wars and Battle of the Holy for my arbitrary PCE Ys and GB Castlevania songs, but where's the fun in that.

By the way, same composer for the Black Bird and Murasaki songs. Takeaki Watanabe (aka. MusMus/NAVA) is pretty great. Has a lot of good royalty free music too.

After everything we've seen so far, why do people still think Gordon Freeman is worth anything at all? To me, Kirby was actually more impressive for just about tripling a fairly popular and notable Street Fighter character.

Seeing GLaDOS in action has me wondering how much of a decline Gordon has actually seen. No doubt Gordon's reputation has taken a hit with Half-Life 3 becoming the new Duke Nukem Forever, but I don't think we get to this much of a discrepancy without Bowser also taking an increase, especially since Gladdy didn't crash and burn to that extent with even the most pessimistic outlook on Mewtwo's strength

I guess you have a point, but GLaDOS took a pretty big hit from 2013 in her own right. You might forget that GLaDOS managed about the same percentage on Snake back in 2013 as she did on Mewtwo now. That puts GLaDOS at sub-2010 levels if you're like me and have a pessimistic view of Mewtwo's strength. I do think Bowser's strength has increased, though, but only by the standard margin we've seen from other well-established Nintendo characters so far.

Honestly, I expected GLaDOS to fade a decent amount more than Gordon. HL3 was already being memed into being another DNF a decent amount of time before DNF happened, and the confirmation regarding it may have helped people keep it on their minds, if anything. Just look at how Konami characters have been handling this contest, in light of their respective series being dead in the water (outside of the arcades in bastardised form...)*. No doubt about it to me, that Bowser performance is something pretty damn impressive as far as I'm concerned. Possibly something that won't last for long either, as I suspect a non-negligable amount of that strength only came from a far less long-lasting meme.

*sure, some of them have smash boosts and stuff, but smash boosts have also amounted to very little in other cases, and potentially even deboosted some

Anyway yeah my pick is actually to Kratos, for similarly exceeding expectations, and against someone who definitely can't be accused of being any weaker than usual. A shame he's up against a monster next. Maybe he has a chance if the tepid prerelease reception to Let's Go can play a part.

Now to go back to not pretending I know jack about jack in this contest.

Overall fun factor in terms of fighting, either Acceleration of Suguri or the current style that Touhou fighters have adopted (yeah I'm absolutely going to get dunked on for this, but I have a looot of fun playin' em, gimmicks and all)

As games in general, I've always really liked the overall structure of Ultimate Ninja titles a lot, having the fighting game aspect essentially only serving as a mere side mode despite how fleshed out it is.

As a fighting game on the principles of, you know, fighting game... Likely Fatal Fury. It just did a number of good and smart things that own, and simply made it just work really well. I'm not sure if it's my favourite part, but the plane switching it had was the one thing I wish other games had decided to keep since. The rarity of that is also part of why I dig pre-storm Ultimate Ninja titles, since it did it, albeit while taking a pretty signficantly different approach that wasn't nearly as seamless (even if it was still cool as hell). I also still get a lot of enjoyment out of MvC titles, though post-Infinite... I dunno. Darkstalkers is up there too.

doughnuts aren't really as common as cream buns (and similar derivative products), which apparently also are commonly called doughnuts here regardless of their shape. It's been quite a while since I last had an actual one, so I couldn't really say if I had a preference.

seriously, if they were going to the trouble of making a special preorder bonus character with all of the perks of one, why not make it a really thematically-appropriate one.
