I never thought of Link and Zelda as a duo . Link and Navi or Link and Midna etc sure, but Zeldas mostly just a third wheel.

although im sure itd be eligible anyway, its just not the way I think about them. What game has them the most paired up? Phantom Hourglass?

see, this is the right line of thinking

which will not be shared by everyone else

we would def see Link/Zelda like we saw Captain Falcon/Black Shadow even though it doesnt make sense

How are we defining a duo though?

very loosely like Allen did with Rivalry Rumble

which is why duos/tag team is an equally bad idea

we got fucking CAPTAIN FALCON/BLACK SHADOW instead of Samurai Goroh, what the fuck

tyreen was wasted IMO, both calypso twins were shortchanged by the bad ending

honestly the brother (whose name i dont even remember) probably should have killed tyreen when he was siphoning off her energy, they kept hinting at him being power hungry and shit and when they finally had the opportunity to pay that off they just kinda... didn't.

Witcher. Think it would beat any other Western series in a Series contest just because its baggage is just "early game jank" and not "the fanbase actively is divided/hates it".

This is actually a fair point of view, while 1 didn't age well you dont see the Witcher fanbase having civil wars about it, the most controversy I have ever seen was a few people not liking the netflix show and being told to shut up

Way better tha people actively wanting to kick Todd Howard in the dick or sending ironic cupcakes to bioware to protest the bad ME3 ending

when I first thought of this topic "Witcher" popped into my head

which i immediately felt was wrong but Witcher 3 might be strong enough now that it carries the franchise on its back. If we had Best Series II I wonder how it would do with the other two games weighing Witcher 3 down

2 is good but it's not held in the same high regard as 3 and 1 has not aged well on top of not being more than "pretty good" upon release

zen's spicy take: i do not like Jennifer Hale as Femshep because she is just doing the Jennifer Hale voice, I do not think Jen Hale has great range because every time I hear her in anything I'm just like "oh it's Jennifer Hale." Completely took me out of it for the few runs where I did femshep.

I don't think that Mark Meer does a great job with Male Shepard either but at least I don't know any other Mark Meer performances. Jennifer Hale is definitely a better actor than him.

Couple more above Undertale than I remembered but I'd probably take it over Ori and Bloodstained regardless. Ori being so much stronger than most other indie games still confuses me.

even though MGS has become basically a dead franchise or a pachinko machine goldmine I think Snake is fine, he's still in Smash and people blame Konami more than the MGS series or Kojima, he's probably not as strong but people love Snake

there might be a point where we see the supporting MGS characters disappear from the bracket, we've already seen Liquid struggle to make it back in. Big Boss will probably be around longest.
