So, on the plus side, we're finally getting Mario/Sonic.\
Are we, now? Sonic's had two tough battles with Kirby in the past, splitting them. He got 48.20% on the pink puffball in a fourway with Sephiroth and Dante in there, neither of whom would appear to have too much overlap with the two platforming stars, but then in a 1v1, he got 54.61%. However, I would imagine that Meta Knight is probably a good deal stronger than Dr. Robotnik. Sonic might still be able to pull off the win, but I think Kirby's got a good chance of pulling the upset...again.

Who wins Northwest? Squall/Seifer or Sora/Riku?
Squall/Seifer. I'm not even sure if Sora/Riku will be able to get past the lethal joke entry that they face in the first round.

Red/Blue are definitely going to get a big boost via the contest format. Problem is, so will Ryu/Ken.
Problem with that is that so will Fox/Wolf. I originally had the Pokémon Trainers winning that division but then I changed my mind and went with Fox and Wolf.

Anyone having Red/Blue over Luigi is insane. That's all I'm saying on that.
You obviously underestimate how hated Waluigi is. This is why I was trying to convince people to nominate Luigi/King Boo instead.

I picked Dante>Sora, even though it probably doesn't pan out. No way I'm not supporting one of my absolute favorite rivalries over them.
Nah, like most, the winner of the 2-7 match has the definite advantage over the winner of the 3-6 match.
...I'm just hoping that Squall and Seifer can nip that pesky little joke entrant before it gets any further than beating Sora/Riku and Dante/Vergil.

Subby/Scorpion vs. Leon is a tricky match. I'm siding with the MK duo because I think they get a much bigger boost from the format than Leon/Ada. Also Ada is pretty darn weak.
Yeah, but fighting game characters other than Ryu have a tendency to bomb so badly in this contest. Sure, Subby and Scorp have both had nice runs, but I don't think they match up with Leon and I think Ada's stronger than you think she is. She's got a career record of 2-2, which isn't great, but it's decent enough--and no, they weren't both in the Female Bracket. Also, TJF. Hardly a good reason to pick an entrant in a 1v1 unless it was close to begin with, but it could serve as a decent complement to Leon's natural contest strength.

Fox/Yuna is bleh. I really want to take Yuna there but Fox probably beats her straight-up and that vote-in performance was pitiful.
...and Fox/Wolf will probably get a contest boost, not to mention Wolf should probably run circles around Seymour straight-up...

Alucard/Dracula vs. Frog/Magus gave me pause, but I think Chrono Trigger wins out over Castlevania there.
Right, because Chrono Trigger has been worth a damn in contest battles any time in the last half-decade. Yeah, Crono made that amazing run to the '08 finals, but the writing's been on the wall for a long time--as strong as CT is in Board 8 contests, the casuals don't give a crap about a game that was released in the mid-90s and hasn't had a sequel in over a decade (and the main characters of the original weren't even in that sequel.)
