#8 Good Pick - Wrex > Cecil > Pit
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5214-character-battle-ix-division-8-round-1-pit-vs-wrex-vs-cecil

Pit was the overall favorite on the board to win this match because he was coming fresh off of Kid Icarus: Uprising (a game that didn't make it into this contest, now that I think about it!), and Cecil had the second most picks. Wrex was a distant third. However, I was skeptical of Pit, who'd looked like trash in 2008 coming off of his inclusion in Brawl, of skyrocketing after a Kid Icarus game that apparently didn't gain wide traction. Then there was Cecil, who hadn't won a darn thing despite being given multiple chances to do so. I wish my 2018 self had listened to my 2013 self in that regard! I didn't see any reason to trust either character, while I felt that Mass Effect was at its peak. The reception to ME3 may have been infamously divisive, but people were nothing if not passionate about it and it didn't stop people from loving the fan favorites (which is part of why I worry about ME2's chances; BioWare and their terrible fanbase put all that passion into cold storage). If there was ever a time for someone like Wrex to win a match, it was now (I used the same rationale for taking Shepard > Aerith, which also paid off! Fast-forward five years and Shepard can barely beat King K. Rool and is getting doubled by Ryu; again, I worry about ME2).

When the match started, it became clear pretty quickly that Pit had no chance since he was already dead last during Nintendo's best time. Cecil put up a fight for about an hour, and after that, Wrex pulled away and never looked back. I felt so good about Wrex's chances that I said I would go on The Show and sing Mordin's "Scientist Salarian" song if he pulled it off, which I did! I don't necessarily recommend that you go find that episode if you missed it because I'm a terrible singer, but it was fun! Man, I miss the days when Mass Effect was a thing.
