Anagram hasn't shown up yet, so let's bring back my old habit of creating new topics for this series when necessary.

The Rules
1. Explain why each character (or just one) lost his or her match. The explanation can be based on either the loser or the winner.
2. Anything to the effect of "fewer votes" will be disregarded.
3. Vote for the explanation you think is best.
4. Don't reuse an explanation from another day.
5. If there's a tie, I'll cast the tiebreaker vote.

("I" in this case is usually Anagram, but maybe this time it's my honor)

Yesterday's Matches
Garrus Vakarian lost to Squall Leonhart
The Boss lost to Zelda
D.Va lost to Fox McCloud
Captain Toad lost to Aerith Gainsborough

Yesterday's Answers
Ness lost because... dat ass blew his mind (Pirateking2000) \ "It's pretty clear that people seem to prefer a character that is essentially fap-bait and relevancy than a iconic protagonist, which is sickening to say at least." (Seikon_No_Qwase) (@Anagram, you can pick the winner here!)
Charizard lost because... He has a history of being weak to giant turtles (Johnbobb) Runner-up
Ike lost because... lNQc6z0 (ZenOfThunder) Runner-up
Isaac lost because... Kirby may not have psynergy, but everyone knows to MOVE out his way. (darkbuster)

Yesterday's Runners-up
( @Anagram needs to pick the winner to know which ends up as the runner-up)
Charizard lost because... He wasn't a grade-A, 100% prime-cut final boss (garetha200)
Ike lost because... Phoenix's finger is sharper than Ike's sword!!!111 (Haste_2)
Kirby lost because... No runner-up

Garrus lost because Andromeda was whatever.

Captain Toad lost because Allen took away the 'Captain', so when Aerith cured his 'Toad' status, there was nothing left.

The Boss lost because one must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is her destiny. The one who survives will inherit the title of Goddess Hylia, and the one who inherits the title of Goddess Hylia will face a bracket of endless Nintendo characters.

Garrus actually won, but there was so much complaining afterwards that the ending got changed.

The Boss lost because that's kinda just what happens in Zelda games.

I think it's essentially Fox's killing D.Va by using his Landmaster to take her mech out of bounds, similar to what you could do with his final smash in Brawl.

Garrus Vakarian lost to Squall Leonhart because...Garrus said he couldn't get his gunblade calibrated in time, but...whatever.

The Boss lost to Zelda because...The Boss is a legend of sorts, but Zelda is *THE* legend.

D.Va lost to Fox McCloud because...make-up whiskers and pointy headphones < actual furry animal

Captain Toad lost to Aerith Gainsborough because...Aerith is part of the lifestream. Mushrooms only feed on the dead.

Since I'm allowed to vote ( @Anagram , which of the two Ness reasons takes your tiebreaker?):

C35gaHP

And yeah, this year had a surge in gifs. The previous editions rarely had them (such as this when Ivy lost to Tifa: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/board8/images/8/88/LinkIvy.gif ), with at most static images.

I haven't been exercising that, I've just been listing both of them as a tie each time. I should've just removed that from the rules.
