While the contest doesn't return, we'll be doing matches for older contests that never got voted on because someone forgot to. Or maybe the topics purged before we copied the results to the wiki, who knows. I've linked the matches in question below for easy examination.

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.

It is certainly a puzzling affair that the Hakurei Shrine can survive off so few votes.

I know you probably meant this more for the Layton end, but this is perfect for Reimu too. I'm voting for it.

I targeted both. Couldn't think of a way to fit in barret though...

I'm not terribly imaginative, which is why I rarely do answers of my own

Plenty of the answers only put the two losers, great effort. I'll vote for it too. If you can think of something for the other, feel free!

I am here, sorry. I spent most of yesterday driving to visit relatives for Thanksgiving. I figured it didn't matter much once you put the topic up, it's not like there will be more topics before the matches start up again.

It's ok, we just need to see if we get two consensus answers until the contest returns.

What? (yes, I know this is the country that apparently doesn't speak English) It happened. 2013 wasn't as good for Nintendo as 2018.

No, that is my vote. I'm referring to the fact that Marth's English-translated game was not met with very good reception.

Well, usual voters such as @Unbridled9 and @Dark_Young_Link must be busy with Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

Barret won because... Reimu didn't have enough votes in her donation box to care to fight Barret and Professor Layton had to solve thirty puzzles just to get on the train, so Barret won by default.

Phoenix won because... It's surprisingly easy to convict your opponents of murder when they wield giant swords and kill people for a living.

Bump.

As an aside... the 'Shop Related Products' is currently suggesting to me a Reimu Doll, Professor Layton game... and a copy of Corpse Party. Ouch.

Barret won because it turns out the whole contest was a set up -- the voters were robots and fairies!

Welp, at least now we're complete. I'd like to thank @UF8 for the first answer and @Unbridled9 for the second one.

Tomorrow, we're back with the 2018 contest. And this of filling in old stuff, only if somehow people get interested in making this all the way to Link-Mario final:
