We mostly sang SB's praises in this episode, and I stand by our comments.

HOWEVER

The one thing that leaves me a tiny bit bitter... Spider-Man would have entered the bracket coming in hot with a GotY-worthy #1 video game on the site, as we've discussed. And he would have (potentially!) left the bracket tonight, in the Grand Finals versus Link, on the day his new movie with a 85 Metacritic, 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and 95% audience score is hitting theaters on its way to a $40 million+ weekend.

What a missed opportunity!


It's past time to open it up to fictional characters for this reason.

We don't need to go insane and have a 95% fictional character bracket, but the occasional Spiderman, Batman, Joker, Geralt, Thanos, or [insert random MvC3 character] after a major release should absolutely be allowed.

Adolf Hitler made it into a contest. It's not like we'll sink any lower.

We have eight divisions in a 128 character contests. I think 8 out of 128 slots going to video game characters originating outside of video games is the ideal way to go. This way we don't waste time with anything but the likes of Batman, Spider-Man, Vader, etc.

I think there will need to be some restrictions for an All-Fictional Character Battle to happen. We can't just allow any sports athlete into a contest just because they happened to be in a sports game. So it makes sense to ban all sports athletes from the contest, although this does not apply for characters that are heavily removed from their real-life depiction. Someone like Charles Barkley from Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is clearly not based on the real-life Charles Barkley and would be one of the few exceptions to this ban.

If I only consulted the Gossip Stones like BKSheikah, instead of listening to Tingle, maybe I could have been the 2017 Guru Champ!
