The notable thing here somehow isn't Mewtwo. Well, it is, but Pokemon went so nutty in 2013 that I would run out of list space if I threw in examples of random Pokemon beating notable gaming icons. Squirtle over Cloud, Mewtwo crushing Sephiroth, Pikachu, etc.

It's Vincent here. He had a hilariously bad picture, but the fact that he was beaten by Phoenix Wright that blew minds here. Vincent was our consensus #10 on this site, after the noble nine, from 2005-2010 or so. He was probably above one or two of them during that time too. Vincent beat Squall in 2005, Ganondorf in 2006 (killing some very beloved board 8 accounts in the process), and beat Crono in 2007. But here he was, getting suit and tie SFF'd by Phoenix. What?

It turned out to not be a fluke, as Magus almost beat him in 2018 and he went down softly to Auron. If this 2013 match never happens, Vincent's probably the consensus pick to beat Sonic. Vincent's fall from grace doesn't make a ton of sense, but when you consider how Seph did in 2018, maybe it actually does and gamefaqs has moved on from dark emo antiheroes now.
