(+) Yeah! (+)

So who would we put Mega Man with?
If not Splash Woman, the potential choices get random or awkward reeeeeal fast.

Guybrush/Elaine would get a rather high seed in that contest as well.

Not that they would have a chance of getting to round 2, but their seed would still be pretty good.

Mega Man, Sonic and Samus would be complete fodder in the contest if they even got in. Squall would take it to them, maybe even Tidus.

I think he'd win a match by himself now, provided he got a favorable draw.

Why is just Mega Man? If anything, it should be just X.

I think more than yaoi fangirls would vote Sora/Riku honestly.

It is a more compelling relationship even from a romantic perspective.

Need a whole division for Link.

Obviously we'd need to get Nidoran M/Nidoran F in. Maybe Plusle/Minun since they look like Pikachu and would actually kinda work as a legit couple.

Have to reach to get MM into this contest, all the way to MM Legends! Debatable I guess, but I think that's probably his best pairing that's half way legitimate in nature.

Obvious couple would be Mega Man/Mega Buster.

If they keep up the pace of the last three updates, they can still pull even.

That's a pretty big if, though.

Sora/Riku still trying. Impressive but I doubt they can pull it off.

EDIT: on second though..now that Europe is zzzzz maybe the actually can? that would be pretty awesome despite losing my perfect battle bracket (I will lose on the tie breaker at the end anyway Link/Mario is not getting 85k -_- )

The best couple is the one that would make it in from this contest:

Raynor/Kerrigan

Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?

Sora/Riku have provided us with the two closest matches of the entire contest.

On that ground, I say that they should auto-win this contest.

The best part about a couples contest is that we'd get the couples version of "They're not rivals."

Match LVII: (1) Mario/Bowser vs. (1) Mega Man X/Zero

Previous Round

Mario/Bowser – 70.58%
Sonic the Hedgehog/Dr. Robotnik – 29.42%

Mega Man X/Zero – 52.70%
Sub-Zero/Scorpion – 47.30%

Analysis

We’re heading into the final week of the contest and while there are some matches people are talking about this is not one of them. After watching Mario and Bowser destroy Sonic and Dr. Robotnik I don’t think anyone is giving this pseudo-Nintendo pair a chance. Then again I don’t think anyone was in the first place.

We’ve seen what Mario can do to regular Mega Man in the previous contest and we all saw what Link did to him this contest, but I think people are going a little overboard on the blowout. While I do feel that Mega Man X is noticeably weaker than Mega Man this rivalry is a lot better than what Mega Man and Sonic had plus Zero has some strength as well. Only reason Sub-Zero and Scorpion did so well was because they too have an incredible rivalry.

Mario and Bowser should still pick up some SFF and should be able to break 60%, but I don’t see it being the doubling that a lot of people are predicting. The rivalry between the two is just too good and not to say Mario and Bowser are weak in the rivalry department, but a performance like some people are predicting would make me feel that they may have a chance at winning the contest even with the possibility of SFF being there.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Mario/Bowser > Mega Man X/Zero

charmander6000’s Prediction: Mario/Bowser wins, 62.64% - 37.36%

Well, unless Bacon puts in some sort of rule that the couple has to be canon, it would technically be fair game!

--
"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

I'm sure it would be fine, much like this contest the pair with the most votes goes in. I'm pretty sure Cloud/Tifa win that easy, Aeris can get in with Zack.

Canon couples only would be best if the contests ever resorted to something like a couples contest. If they don't go canon they'll just get a bunch of dumb shipping nominations.

It needs to be "canon" or at least an option in the game itself, which FFVII allows you to do (primitively compared to games today, but still).

--

I'd prefer canon as in "There is no doubt these two are a romantic couple during the game or by the time it ends." Admittedly I say this mostly in the hopes it would make a lot of top tier characters in strength unable to enter the contest in an effort to make it hopefully more interesting.

It's very unlikely that the really out there fan pairings would get enough noms to get in anyway.

It would still end with Link over Cloud in any type of contest. Though maybe, if romance and chemistry really ended up mattering, Cloud could win it. If Cloud/Seph can beat Link here, I'd be pretty confident in Cloud/Tifa winning as well.
