I started working on a silly contest project, mostly around vote totals. before I post that (I'm not done yet), here's some contest trivia! I'm not going to give answers for a day or two so take your time answering. I'm going to give options so you can just bold your responses.
a few guidelines first:
first of all, these questions relate to official contest matches involving character battles from 2002-2018.
to be clear, this includes "second bracket" types of matches such as the Tournament of Champions or the winners/losers bracket from 2018, but does not include bonus battles such as L-Block vs. ? Block or Link vs. Jay Solano.
it also does not include any results from the rivalry rumble.
a 'win' in the fourway contests means that you advanced, not that you came in first place.
okay, here goes!
