Looks like Ryu did beat Fox making Ryu one of the few non-Nintendo characters to beat a Nintendo character. We're pretty close to being able to hold the Top 8 in a single SSBU match but Tony Hawk might be too strong.

Too bad the Ringer staff has no idea how SFF works lol. They think Mario vs. Bowser would be an awesome match.

Most of the writers are between 30-40 years old. They write about gaming quite a bit actually.

They should not be. It only makes sense in The Ringer's battle because they're a sports website and Tyson, Hawk, Vick are important characters in sports games history. (Where was QB Eagles, though?)

I wouldn't call The Ringer strictly a sports site. It's about half sports, half pop-culture. For every in-depth sports analytical article, there's a completely random article about things like reliving Will Smith's Wild Wild West performance at the 99 MTV Music Video Awards where he rode in on a horse for no damn reason at all lol.

Most of these voters probably haven't played a non-sports/FPS game since 1990!

I'll be 39 in a week, and I'm probably at the younger part of the demographic on The Ringer! They DO have quite a few writers that are younger than me though. But yeah, the results clearly scream "I played some games in the 80s/90s" lol

Hay guyz!

Did anybody catch this? Bill Simmons site The Ringer is doing their own character battle. Looks like they are doing a host of video game related articles to accompany it. Their contest just takes a week, but still interesting to get another site's take on it.

So I was on Facebook and saw a trending post of an artist with graphic drawings of Mario battling various VG characters. There was one of Mario battling Chrono and someone posted a comment under that picture "If you're from GameFAQs, this one hits different".

Now not just anybody on Al Gore's internetz knows about the epic contest battles between Mario and Chrono, so I asked the poster if he was active on Board 8 during the contests. Found out it was ExThaNemesis!

I immediately RKO'd him with thunderous wrath and furious anger. He of course oversold the devastating RKO out of nowhere. It was glorious.
