Topic	my 5 best and worst picks in contest history
LeonhartFour 03/17/20 3:07:24 PM #294:	#7 Bad Pick - Lightning > Donkey Kong (2013) & Tidus > Donkey Kong (2018) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5222-character-battle-ix-division-9-round-1-lightning-vs-dk-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7244-division-1-round-1-tidus-vs-donkey-kong For the first decade of the contest, Donkey Kong was viewed as a choker who would fold like a wet paper bag in the face of real competition, especially if it was another Nintendo character. For the most part, that had been true. Lightning was a weird case because she had gotten in to the 2010 Character Battle before Final Fantasy XIII had come out in the west and she did surprisingly well on Sonic. Then the game actually came out, and we know how that went. Still, there had been one sequel since then that was fairly well received, and Lightning Returns was also on the horizon at the time of this contest. Even if Lightning wasn't all that strong now, she should at least be able to win a match against Donkey Kong with Falco in the same poll, right? Well, when the match started, DK jumped out to a huge lead and left Lightning in the dust. This wasn't the same old ape anymore. But when 2018 rolled around and it was Donkey Kong vs. Tidus, two of the most notorious underperformers in contest history, I had to side with my boy Tidus, of course. He had beaten DK fairly easily back in 2008, but what I hadn't counted on that what had happened in 2013 was no mere fluke or Lightning just being terrible. This was the new reality for Donkey Kong, who went on to upset Leon Kennedy the next round before bowing out respectfully to Vivi. What changed? Well, for the first decade of the contest, Donkey Kong basically got nothing in the way of new games. Then in 2010, Donkey Kong Country returns dropped, and suddenly, he was back in the limelight with a well received game, and a sequel that was even better received. I will not doubt DK again.
