DIVISION 2 ROUND 1

Zero > Primrose

Mr. Dependable, I like Zero going far!

Knuckles > Zidane

Don't think FFIX does well 1 on 1, never has, and I know there is some hype against Knuckles but all Knuckles does is get the job done vs middling Square so give me Knuckles here in a close one.

Noctis > Master Hand

This is a four pack of death. I am taking the unknown, spoilers.

Wario > Monika

Prove me wrong, fanboys.

Yoshi > Shantae

This might be 85%+

James > Velvet

I don't trust Tales. Ever.

Pikachu > Scorpion

Wouldn't be horribly surprised if this goes the other way but while I think Pokemon has a lot going for it 5 years ago and will be a bit weaker, I think the hatred of Pokemon has completely vanished and everyone loves the little guys now.

kratos > Marston

Kratos is cooler and probably stronger than ever, setting up a very interesting clash next round!
---

I remember when I was popular...! But never for bad contest opinions, admittedly.

D2 R2

Zero > Knuckles

This isn't going to be close!

Noctis > Wario

My official "fuck it when in doubt just go with FF because no one in this four pack is any good." Also if Noctis is here he wins for sure I think so yeah.

Yoshi > James

I enjoy free points.

Pikachu > Kratos

I don't think Kratos is going to like the fact that registered users count double, to be blunt. I would probably go the other way without that rule in a very close vote but with that in effect I think this is about 55/45 in favor of the rat.

ROUND 3

Zero > Noctis

Zero is sleep walking to the division finals.

Pikachu > Yoshi

I may go back and forth on this just because Yoshi typically does well in off season polls if my memory serves, but this should be an interesting battle! I don't do proper research though as that is for losers like Leon (this is a parody post I love Leon's analysis)

Division finals.

Zero > Pikachu

I... have no doubt that unless something weird happens Zero's going to sleep walk into the sweet 16.

Hi Chris

Zero/Pikachu is kinda scary IMO. I took Zero just because taking Pikachu ended up with me making some picks I just didn't want to make because if Pikachu wins there where does it end?
---

I have Scorpion with the upset actually. Looks like MK11 is getting announced in the coming month.

I have Zero beating Scorpion in the finals. 60-40

This is by far my "hail mary" pick of the contest.
---

Oh man, Alec. It was a good night for you in baseball huh. Long time no see my good friend. *Hugs you tight*

I think people kind of forget just how legit Zero is one on one... or so I claim. I did no research (#fun) but my memories of Zero are just him being pretty strong. Pokemon has never been super impressive 1 on 1 outside of release day Charizard and I feel like with the whole registered users thing we are going to skew back to the old days. Demo changes might have weakened Zero but a lot of our users have been around for a lot of years is my thought, so I am treating people a bit like it is 2004-2005 in many instances and seeing where that lands me.

Scorpion ... hm, I am not sure. I could see that happening. Over Pika anyway. I feel like Kratos wins the 'I am a mature badass character' sff over scorpion though, you know? I feel like that half has lots of different combos that make sense. I just don't think one of them is Scorp. But Yoshi > Kratos, Pikachu > Yoshi, Kratos > Scorpion picks all make sense to me.

Has Vivi winning like 3 matches. Says this.

Okay.

Only leon isn't turbo fodder in his path.

Eh, I think Pikachu is just a tier below the N9, which includes Squall, Pikachu and MMX.

All of your picks are wrong
