What is sooo great, so amazing about the same group of ten elites dominating everything all the time, with Link a virtual lock to win? I would very much like to know what you think is so wonderful about this.

i mean, having a link/zelda final was pretty interesting to me.

i'm not against a contest with non-game characters but there was enough interesting stuff happening this contest for me to still like game character contests.

Oh I definitely liked this contest.

The lack of ridiculous uber-rallies for turbofodder made it much more fun. Small dualing rallies between similar level opponents are fun. Massive guaranteed win rallies for turbofodder are pretty boring to me.

But while this contest was more fun than any weve had for some time to me, it definitely wasnt at the level a fictionals contest would be.

Frankly, I think the people who are against this idea would come around and embrace it once the official bracket came out and they realized how much more interesting things had gotten.

I mean, just think about a totally random match like Yoda vs. Sonic or Pikachu. Or Han Solo vs. Ryu. Iron Man vs. Squall. How are these not more interesting than the same old stuff?

With how static the user base of this site is, these characters really dont shift in strength all that much, so even our shocking results are actually not all that shocking in an absolute sense.

I do think most people who might be reluctant now - I suppose due to instinctual territorialism or something? - would change their minds once things actually got official and tangible.
