Board 8 > Preston Ward Condra Ranks All 123 - 2013 Character Battle Matches

(+) Yeah! (+)

81 of the 123 matches were solely taken place in Round 1.

The write-ups are all done. All I gotta do is post them.

Will post them all in a week - likely starting tomorrow.

123. Lugia vs. Francis York Morgan vs. Sly Cooper

I believe this was the LOWEST vote totals for any match in the 2013 contest.

Well, that pretty much just blew Lugia's chances at being a solid low mid-carder.

But just for that insipid record alone? Last place is where it rests.

How GameFAQS is still up and running after Gametrailers got shut down back in 2016? idk.

122. Mewtwo vs. Zero vs. Chester

When was the last time Icehawk was relevant?

And this is NOT Zero from Mega Man...it's somebody else with the same name.

121. Rikku vs. Coin ? Block vs. Lyndis

Fire Emblem is garbage and this match is 100% the reason I refuse to ever play or associate with anyone who likes those games.

End rant. K. Bye.

Lyndis lost to a coin block. GTFO Fire Emblem.

120. Mario vs. Mega Man X vs. Crono

Yawn.

119. Mega Man vs. Mewtwo vs. Pikachu

A fourth place match finish that meant nothing.

Everyone's brackets were broken far beyond this point to matter.

118. GlaDOS vs. Cole vs. Ranga The Bloodedge

I can't believe I just wasted 45 seconds of my life typing her last name out.

117. Vivi vs. Adam Jensen vs. Marisa Kirisame

Vivi vs. Jensen Ackles vs. Who

116. Gilgamesh vs. Booker DeWitt vs. Kaim Argonar

...

...

...

...

...

115. Sora vs. Gilgamesh vs. Yoshimitsu

This is why the 3-way format is never coming back.

114. Mega Man vs. Geno vs. Maigkarp

Geno getting dead last. Next.

113. Caim vs. Spring Breeze Dancin' vs. Chester

Okay let me ignore my hatred for Chester.

The most boring one of the three (Caim) ended up being victorious here.

Chester's defeat here was so shameless.

112. L-Block vs. Plautena vs. Teemo

The former champion wasn't going to lose here. Next.

111. Cloud Strife vs. Frog vs. Lugia

Lugia still came in 3rd Place despite the SFF.

BEHIND FROG MIND YOU.

Pathetic.

110. Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Corvo Attano vs. Sissel

There was a reason Preston Condra was obsessed with Avril Lavigne in 2013.

Because of matches like this.

What? Sissel doesn't get a last name?

109. Pokemon Trainer Blue vs. Fox McCloud vs. Wolf O' Donnell

Oh this isn't even fair.

And I thought Link vs. Tingle was bad.

108. Dante vs. Laharl vs. Raz

Dante and Laharl were in the EXACT SAME FOUR PACK FROM 2008.

Nobody wanted this rematch.

107. Yuna vs. Master Chief vs. Claire Redfield

Yuna and Master Chief WERE IN THE EXACT SAME FOURPACK FROM 2007. Next.

106. Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Vivi vs. Squall Leonhart

God the 2013 bracket was set up horribly.

Pikachu and Blue were set up against each other yet Red gets a bye to the next round with crud like this.

Sigh.

105. Leon Kennedy vs. Albert Wesker vs. Oliver

>_>

104. Bowser vs. Sub-Zero vs. The Boss

Yawn.

103. Solid Snake vs. GlaDOS vs. Kefka

This was a Round 3 match if you wanted to know/remember.

102. Leon Kennedy vs. Gordon Freeman vs. Shadow The Hedgehog

Leon doubled Gordon back in 2005.

Shadow didn't even make the field in 2005. Oh lawd.

101. Zelda vs. Sackboy vs. John Marston

Jesus Round 1 in 2013 was a pain and makes up 80% of these write-ups.

100. Amersatru vs. Vyse vs. Adol Cristin

Ammy is furry porn. Vyse is a humanoid Wonder Pet and idk about the other guy.

99. Mega Man vs. Jill Valentine vs. Kratos

Jill and Kratos were in the same four-pack in 2008. Yawn. Next.

And Jill and Mega Man are both Capcom products. Ugh.

98. Dragonborn vs. Tifa vs. Yuna

I don't know what's worse.

FFFSFF (Female Final Fantasy Same Fanbase Factor) or how dreadful Dragonborn performed here.

97. Zero vs. Kratos Aurion vs. Boko

Kratos Aurion is from a forgotten RPG that sold 25 copies and who's Boko?

96. Solid Snake vs. Alucard vs. Bayonetta

Take these rankings with a grain of salt.

I don't think more than like 5 matches from 2013 would ever make my Top 100.

95. Solid Snake vs. Pikachu vs. Squirtle

Snake gets a bye to the finals with getting fed two Pokemon to kill in a match.

Yay I guess?

94. Missingo vs. Tidus vs. Banjo

Missingo killed Crono in the 2010 contest.

Another Square character fell victim to that. Next.

93. Ganondorf vs. Guybrush vs. Max Payne

I think Max from Max & Ruby would've fared better here.

92. Tifa vs. Chun-Li vs. Cinro

Yuck.

91. Crono vs. Missile vs. Sarah Kerrigan

I don't feel an iota of guilt of putting this match near the bottom of the rankings.

90. Jill Valentine vs. Red Bird vs. Mike Haggar

Why was Jill Valentine (19) seeded lower than the other two?

Red Bird was (9) and Mike Haggar (10)

89. Auron vs. Revolver Ocelot vs. Roxas

I think I dreaded every single match Auron has had.

88. Wario vs. Creeper vs. King Of All Cosmos

Why on Earth would make you think a character named "creeper" would amount to anything?

87. Big Boss vs. Luigi vs. Ness

SFF allows Big Boss the win. Next.

86. Cloud Strife vs. Prinny vs. Senator Steven Armstrong

What do you think happened in this match?

85. Urdnot Wrex vs. Pit vs. Cecil

I think Pit never needs to be nominated / needs to be blacklisted in one of these character battles again.

84. Squall Leonhart vs. MissingNo vs. Amersatru

Squall has 2002 veteran status going for him enough to warrant a win.

83. Squall Leonhart vs. Commander Video vs. Rayman

I'm not sure if some of you are laughing, proud or made at some of these 2013 entries. Seriously I can't tell.

82. Charizard vs. Zelda vs. Donkey Kong

How far has Donkey Kong fallen into irrelevancy?

81. Sora vs. Aya Brea vs. Scorpion

Mortal Kombat and Kingdom Hearts have similar fanbases when you think about it.

80. Sub-Zero vs. Garrus vs. Frank

Sub-Zero vs. who vs. who

79. Sephiroth vs. Morrigan vs. Spyro The Dragon

The rematch between Morrigan and Spyro was killed by Sephiroth's presence. Next.

78. Sephiroth vs. Kirby vs. Big Boss

Kirby and Sephiroth were in the same Elite Eight four pack from 2008. Next.

77. Charizard vs. Riku vs. Nier

ROUND 1 OF 2013 IS FINALLY OVER.

OMFG WTF BBQ YASSS!!!!!!!!!!

76. GlaDOS vs. Epona vs. Ike

Someone made it to Round 3 because of this match. I'm sure you don't even care to remember.

75. Pikachu vs. Lloyd Irving vs. Big Daddy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orrhUry_hO4

OH I LIKE IT DADDY.

Oh I like it daddy. No I don't.

74. Magus vs. Octagon vs. Jade Curtiss

Sorry. I'm still too busying listening to Freek-A-Leek.

73. Samus Aran vs. Tifa Lockhart vs. L-Block

This would've been cool to witness.

If this was 2007 that is.

72. Pikachu vs. Crono vs. Magus

*Preston Ward Condra bangs his head against the wall*

71. Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Wario vs. Udnot Wrex

Remember when Red and Wario were in the Subspace Emissary in Brawl and had interaction with each other?

70. Shadow The Hedgehog vs. Yu vs. Kat

Shadow vs. who vs. who

69. Samus Aran vs. Knuckles The Echidna vs. Catherine

Well at least, the Instagram sloot got last place as rightfully deserved.

68. Sonic vs. Barret vs. Dracula

Aeris just got killed by Commander Shepard just two days ago. Next.

67. Kratos vs. Recette Lemongrass vs. Travis Touchdown

I have no idea how with someone like Recette Lemongrass makes the bracket.

66. Weighted Companion Cube vs. Lenneth Valkyrie vs. Claptrap

Yawn.

65. Donkey Kong vs. Falco Lombardi vs. Lightning

Serious question here for this whatever match.

Did the ORDER MATTER in the 2013 contest? I...don't...recall.

64. Ezio vs. Tails vs. Bomberman

Oh hey Tails can win-

Oh. Well okay then.

63. Gordon Freeman vs. Simon Belmont vs. Hades

Simon has gotten an Ultimate boost. But this is 2013. Not 2021.

62. Kirby vs. Terra vs. Peach

Terra Blandford. Yawn.

61. Mega Man X vs. Jigglypuff vs. Welkin

Jigglypuff was Montreal Screwed here. This wasn't even amusing to watch in any shape way or form.

60. Commander Shepard vs. Aeris vs. Tharja

I hate 3-ways because there will ALWAYS be the odd-man-out in the poll.

I don't think a single 3-way fight was even steven at all. Or all contest.

59. Knuckles The Echidna vs. Celes vs. Seifer

Celes is Terra Blandford's BFF.

We definitely WE GOTTA SURFER here with this match.

I can't believe I just referrenced that.

...Are we finally making some leeway here?

58. Link vs. Solid Snake

Took place at the very end of 2013 as a bonus match.

It was a 55-45 result.

57. Dragonborn vs. Tom Nook vs. Pyramid Head

Hmmm...An Animal Crossing boost in 2021 maybe?

56. Snake vs. Isaac vs. Commander Keen

Solid Snake kills everyone and wins. Next.

55. Elizabeth vs. Poison vs. Thrall

Instagram sloot vs. Instagram sloot vs. Villain's character reject never seen since 2005.

What a great match. (sarcasm)

A stupid sloot won this match. Stupid sloot.

54. Zidane vs. Ridley vs. Spring Breeze Dancin'

Okay. The laughs are off people.

Do you even remember rallying and/or nominating Dancin?

53. Aeris vs. Hero vs. Rinoa

Allen did this crap on purpose.

Aeris is a 2002 veteran and the other two are newcomers.

Even people who don't play video games know about Aeris's death. Sigh.

52. Kirby vs. Elizabeth vs. Crash Bandicott

Kirby demolishes the Instagram Sloot and Crash. Next.

51. Link vs. Yoshi vs. Raiden

OMFG!!!!!

SAME SFF FACTOR!!! RAIDEN MIGHT WINZ!!!!

Oh it's Link.

Next.

50. Mewtwo vs. Phoenix Wright vs. Vincent Valentine

Saw the upset coming a mile away.

Knuckles vs. Magus 2005 this is not.

49. Yoshimitsu vs. Lu Bu vs. Groose

Next.

48. Frog vs. Handsome Jack vs. Viewtiful Joe

Handsome Jack?

Man, people who don't play video games don't know the handsome definition at all.

Ever heard of Elvis? Or James Dean? Marlon Brando? Clark Gable? Sigh.

47. Sephiroth vs. Midna vs. Little Mac

Hey Leonhart. Remember when I roasted Midna and called her a 1/10 character in Scarletspeed's project?

@LeonhartFour @scarletspeed7

this is a complete waste of time you'll never get back

---

46. Zero vs. Rikku vs. Weighted Companion Cube

On paper? Looks interesting.

The execution of it? Meh.

45. Catherine vs. Neku vs. Vaas

My boy Neku lost to an Instagram sloot. Boo. Stupid sloot.

44. Squirtle vs. Ramza vs. JC Denton

Who's Denton?

Oh wow. I totally forgot that one time he got killed by Mario in 2004.

43. Bayonetta vs. N vs. Wander

Bayonetta won.

42. Crash Bandicoot vs. Wheatley vs. Tommy Vercetti

Did you guys know that Mewtwo, Gengar, Meowth, Dugtrio and Seel are the bosses in Pokemon Pinball?

Oh wait. We have a match here? Next.

Sorry. I won't stray off-topic like that again.

41. Samus Aran vs. Sandbag vs. Isaac Clarke

I completely forgot Dead Space existed. Seriously.

40. Yoshi vs. Solaire vs. Demi-Fiend

Yoshi vs. Who vs. Demiveemon. Or maybe not.

39. Samus Aran vs. Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Mega Man

I'm surprised it took this long for Red to make the field.

Ah yes. Board 8 hated Pokemon from 2002-2006.

38. Commander Shepard vs. Captain Olimar vs. Kain

Pikmin 3 sold 30 copies and only Final Fantasy incels know who Kain is. Next.

That's all I have to say here.

37. Altair vs. Ratchet vs. Shulk

Ratchet's a manlet and Shulk's game sold 62 copies. Next.

36. Bowser vs. Metaknight vs. Archer

Metaknight getting SFF's HARD by Bowser. Damn.

35. Mega Man vs. Zero vs. Charizard

Mega Man somehow came out of this alive.

At the same time, too many of these purposely put together SFF matches killed the shock value for me.

35 (tie) Pokemon Trainer Blue vs. Drake vs. Mr. Game & Watch

Pokemon has killed about 50% of the field since 2007, no?

34. Vincent vs. KOS-MOS vs. Dunban

KOS-MOS looks gorgeous in her match picture.

33. Ness vs. Locke vs. CATS

Any character given CATS in a match-up is just a throwaway win.

32. Ryu vs. Yuri vs. Face

I'm not even gonna bother listing Yuri's last name.

Jesus Christ Allen.

I just quoted Bradley Cooper. Wink wink.

31. Link vs. Isaac vs. Tingle

Why Tingle?

Klonoa would've been my pick for 16 seed fodder.

Hell I would've had Eric Sparrow from Tony Hawk's Underground as 16 seed fodder.

30. L-Block vs. Auron vs. Ezio

L-Block still showing substance.

29. Big Boss vs. Captain Virdian vs. Peacock

I would never name a video game character (if I ever developed a game) Peacock.

Just use your real name for Christ sake. I do that.

28. Dracula vs. Lucina vs. Caim

I never did like Fire Emblem.

27. Epona vs. Mordin vs. Niko

When has GTA came remotely close to beating a Zelda character?

26. Luigi vs. Balthier vs. Jade

Balthier has the honor to face both Jade AND Jade Curtiss in his contest history track record.

That's the only interesting thing to say here about this match.

25. Morrigan vs. Miles Edgeworth vs. Agent 47

Bat Silcoon girl vs. Who vs. Vin Diesel. Next.

24. Drake vs. Pac-Man vs. Steve

Don't know what to say here. Next.

23. Draven vs. Solid Snake vs. Samus Aran

THE 2013 CHAMPIONSHIPZ FIGHTZ!!!!

...And the contest ended in a mediocre whimper.

22. Kefka vs. Zack Fair vs. Ryu Hayabusa

Meh.

21. Draven vs. Jak vs. Chie

The highlight for me here was actually Jak throwing away his first victory. Sigh

20. Tharja vs. Tina vs. Juliet

Thank God the 256 character bracket is never been done again.

19. Sonic vs. Fei vs. Dan

Fei got tripled to Knuckles in the 2008 bracket. Why? Just why?

18. Pikachu vs. Sora vs. Pokemon Trainer Blue

Fox lost to Blue by about 200 or so votes. Karma getting Blue from behind.

17. Kefka vs. Altair vs. Lara Croft

Kefka does have FFF going for him. (Final Fantasy Factor)

So yeahz.

16. Barret vs. Professor Layton vs. Reimu

Barret's long awaited contest debut. FF7. Crush. Kill. Destroy.

15. Lara Croft vs. Slime vs. Yuri Hyuga

Lara Croft has come a long way.

14. Mewtwo vs. Sonic vs. Bowser

Kinda ruined by the Draven hijinks a few days before hand.

13. Squirtle vs. Leon Kennedy vs. Cloud Strife

Cool I guess.

12. Squirtle vs. Dante vs. Zidane

:D

11. Phoenix Wright vs. Marth vs. Nightmare

Marth would definitely kill Phoenix in a rematch. Not exactly a match that a sight for your own eyes years later.

10. The Boss vs. Chrom vs. Heavy

Meh. Kinda interesting given The Boss is pretty much a good fodder line candidate character but, nothing else.

9. Draven vs. Mewtwo vs. Sephiroth

Easily the weakest of Draven's matches but it's NOT TOO BAD.

8. Spyro vs. Clementine vs. Reyn

I was eleated that Spyro got his first character battle win.

Much deserved. I'm sure Spyro just destroys Clementine in a rematch because of the remake boost.

7. Raiden vs. Waluigi vs. Alan Wake

Okay this match was somewhat interesting

GASP

But, then I realized something.

Only Mario diehards know who Waluigi is.

After he was demoted to Assist Trophy status in Brawl.

I think the writing was on the wall for Raiden to win this from the get go.

MGS4 won multiple 2008 GOTY awards (still relevant to bring up in 2013 at the time)

How is 50 posts into your own topic in an hour not considering spamming or disruptive posting.

Nobody is reading this shit

---

6.Mario vs. Vivi vs. Ganondorf

Hampered by the 12-hour match limit.

5. Alucard vs. Captain Falcon vs. Rinoa

This match would been great if it wasn't for the 12-hour match time limit.

4. Ike vs. Proto Man vs. Dr. Robotnik

Actually a decent match I somewhat liked.

I later realized that Proto Man was playable in Mega Man 10

But Mega Man 10 was a download only game.

Wouldn't it sold better if it was a physical game?

And I don't even like the Mega Man games. I'm serious here.

3. Mr. Game And Watch vs. Meat Boy vs. Lee Everett

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

2. Draven vs. Mega Man X vs. Ryu

The start of Draven's reign. Credit where credit is due.

1. Draven vs. Link vs. Commander Shepard

LSD.

@skullbone

Put me on your ignore list then.

I guess you like ninkendo's pointless Zelda ranking topic, the Politics topic, MycroProcessor's topic that's taken 3 years to finish, etc.
