X > Blastoise

I was on the X > Classic train for years. Classic's inclusion in Smash does make me hesitate, but not enough to depart the train I helped conduct for so damn long.

Mega Man > Squirtle

Classic Mega Man has some of the best artwork, IMO. Though X sprite is better than classic.

Classic > Squirtle

Enough people can't tell a difference between Mega Man and X to the point where I believe this match will be decided by whichever option is listed first on the poll. Blame uninformed, undecided voters.

The other match is a toss-up, but all Blastoise really has going for it is the cover of Blue. Squirtle is beloved for being one of the first starters, and it's cuter to boot. I give the edge to Squirtle, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was completely wrong either.

Either way, Mega Man will beat a Pokemon easily, Gen I starter or not.

Classic > Squirtle

Simply for icon status.

Also has the anime going for it. Ash's Squirtle and Bulbasaur never evolved, so to people who focused more on the anime, they were much more iconic than their FEFs.

I always thought Blastoise would be the stronger of the two, but I guess after Squirtle beat Cloud, no one thinks Blastoise could top that.

OR COULD HE

Blastoise could be weaker than Squirtle but capable of rSFFing it. It might be similar with MMX/MM, too.

But I guess I"ll say Mega Man > Blastoise? No clue, honestly.

Squirtle's appearances in Smash help keep him more relevant than Blastoise as well

Wait, I was gonna say, who supports Squirtle but not Blastoise? People voting for Squirtle before would probably consider it a proxy for the evolved form, if anything.

But then...

As stupid as it sounds to say I now believe in Squirtle > Blastoise in a contest.

Mega Man > Squirtle

X has always looked strong, but I've never seen anything to show that he'd be capable of beating Mega Man Classic. Meanwhile, Squirtle has Smash, and the fact that Charizard was rather lukewarm while all the other Pokemon ran wild in 2013 makes me wonder if Blastoise could really have the edge over Squirtle here.

Not sure what the rationale is for X > Classic? Like maybe you could make some case for weird RSFF or whatever before Smash 4, but now, no chance. MM represents the entire megaseries in a way X doesn't; he'll basically only get the votes of those who prefer the X games (and even then it's not a guarantee).

I'm also inclined to cite Mega Man > Zero in the Charizard match as evidence of what the pecking order is there. If MM fans were going to side with his more mature/edgier incarnation, I feel like we'd have seen more evidence of it then.

Squirtle > Blastoise also seems obvious. Anime (and associated memes like Squirtle Squad) + Smash is hard to argue with.

And then I probably go MM > Squirtle out of respect for just how impressive MM's win over Charizard was, but I wouldn't be confident.

Eh, I don't know that this means much of anything. Mega Man fans who knew they had to side with in order to win, so Zero got left in the dust. When Mega Man and Zero faced off 1-on-1, Zero held up like a champ.

also friendly reminder that Mega Man got 49% in a match with Pikachu and Mewtwo, and Pikachu beat Squirtle the round before
