Hmmm, I don't think it would be impossible. Let's look at the numbers from last year's Character Battle as an example.
Link was the #1 overall choice, picked by 1,853 people. Obviously B8 isn't going to come close to putting up 2k noms, buuuuuuuuut
* Over 90,000 total noms were sent in back then. Now we've got less site traffic, a much less popular Contest idea, a form that takes more effort to fill out, a shorter nomination period (probably), no banner on the front page to direct casuals to the form (probably). Only 7,000 noms have been made so far, and I'd say we'd be lucky to reach 20,000. So proportionally, we're now down to 412 for Mario v Bowser.
* Link's always more popular than Mario to the tune of 63/37 or so. If that's true for noms as well, we're down to 152.
* Apparently some people think Mario v Wario is a good idea? I don't get it either, but there were enough noms for SB to add that option to the list, so it must be true! If 20 of those Mario fans would rather see him face Wario than Bowser, now we're split down to 132.
Even without BT's help this should be easily doable!
