All-Time Classic Matches by Contest
Character Battle 2002
Mario vs. Servbot
First match ever. It all started here, and it started with the face of gaming.
Morrigan Aensland vs. Spyro
First ever example of TJF, and first ever "wait until the kiddies wake up!" They never did. Or they did, and went with TJF.
Cloud Strife vs. Fox McCloud
First time we saw the freakish power of FFVII. Cloud demolished a really popular character and drew like 20% more votals than we had been seeing. Put the fear of god in Mario fans.
Tina Armstrong vs. Gordon Freeman
GFNW began here.
Jill Valentine vs. Kirby
One of the first really big upsets. Nintendo icon goes down. Another piece of TJF evidence.
Ryu vs. CATS
I remember people being really hyped for this one, and the CATS jokes were all over the place. Really fun; the result made it funny.
Donkey Kong vs. Aya Brea
Super close, back and forth match. Our first, IIRC. Nintendo fans were shocked it was close.
Solid Snake vs. Knuckles the Echidna
First of three, all in round two. Good old days.
Scorpion vs. Pac-Man
Not the first time a 1-seed went down (Lara got killed a few days prior), but people were actually surprised by this one. Another legend bites the dust.
Samus Aran vs. Sonic the Hedgehog
Still a contender for best match ever. I was rooting for Sonic and got PISSED lol
Sephiroth vs. Mega Man
Pure powa on display here. Slinging bombs at one another.
Mario vs. Cloud Strife
Biggest match ever. Nintendo and Square's lead guys facing off in what may as well have been the finals.
Mario vs. Crono
Began the great rivalry. Many prefer it to Mario vs. Cloud, a testament to its awesomeness.
Link vs. Mario
First ever finals, and Link letting everyone know who runs the joint.
