Round 1 Mario beats Edge Tails beats Duke Nukem Aeris beats Kain Samus beats Doomguy Falco beats Aya Brea Crono beats Morrigan Magus beats Parappa The Rapper Donkey Kong beats Musashi Link beats Abe Sub-Zero beats Alucard Ryu beats Spyro Ganondorf beats Marina Liteyears Kefka beats Terra Sigma upsets Pikachu (Pikachu was anti-voted to oblivion for years before he gained strength, and Mega Man characters do well here) Kirby beats Pac-Man Solid Snake beats Vectorman Lara Croft beats Akira Yuki Tifa beats Squall (This is a close one, but in 1999, Final Fantasy VII is more popular than VIII. Nowadays, Squall would probably be the favourite to win this match, for now at least. We'll have to wait and see how the FFVII remake goes.) Fox beats Claire Redfield Simon Belmont upsets Leon Kennedy (Leon doesn't have Resident Evil 4 yet) Ramza upsets Gordon Freeman (Gordon Freeman Never Wins) Mega Man beats Strider Jill Valentine beats Banjo Sephiroth beats Ms. Pac-Man Sonic beats Guybrush Threepwood Zelda beats Fei Fong Wong Luigi beats Bomberman Charizard beats Ken Scorpion upsets Revolver Ocelot (These two are around the same level in strength, but Scorpion is the face of his game, which gives him the edge) Crash Bandicoot beats Luca Blight Knuckles beats Captain Falcon Cloud beats Little Mac Round 2 Mario beats Tails Samus beats Aeris Crono beats Falco Magus beats Donkey Kong (It's tough to choose which choke artist chokes harder, but one of them has to win, and Magus might get overflow from Crono being in the last match.) Link beats Sub-Zero Ganondorf beats Ryu Sigma upsets Kefka (Kefka doesn't have Dissidia yet, and that didn't make a difference against a character from the same game as him, but now it does) Snake beats Kirby Tifa beats Lara Croft Fox beats Simon Belmont Mega Man beats Ramza Sephiroth beats Jill Sonic beats Zelda Luigi beats Charizard (Charizard gets Pokemon anti-votes, though to a lesser extent than Pikachu. Ken is weak enough that Charizard can overcome them, but Luigi is too strong for Charizard to beat while handicapped.) Crash Bandicoot upsets Scorpion (Very risky pick here, but in 1999 Crash was one of the faces of Playstation and he was coming off three well-received games, and maybe he gets Crash Team Racing during the contest, whereas the popularity of Mortal Kombat was in decline at the time) Cloud beats Knuckles Sweet 16 Mario beats Samus Crono SFFs Magus Link SFFs Ganondorf Snake beats Sigma Tifa beats Fox Sephiroth beats Mega Man Sonic beats Zelda Cloud beats Crash Bandicoot Division Finals Mario beats Crono Link beats Snake Sephiroth beats Tifa Cloud beats Sonic Semi Finals Link beats Mario Cloud beats Sephiroth Final Link beats Cloud Ultimate Loser = Leon Kennedy (Link > Cloud > Sephiroth > Tifa > Fox > Simon Belmont > Leon) I'd quite like to see Alucard vs Sub-Zero and Crash Bandicoot vs Scorpion matches in a modern contest after this. ...
