I missed Zen posting a lot


I miss you guys too, I took an extended sabatical because I graduated college and got a middle management job at Amazon which consumed my life and turned me into a Bezos-fueled POS toolbag that didn't care about silly video game character popularity contests

I don't remembering advising people to nominate Draven. Definitely didn't start the rally (I had him losing to Jak in my bracket oops).


I'm pretty sure it was you, you and Cloud and Squall were the only ones I talked to at that time, I think we were just chatting and you mentioned it to me on AIM or something. Did we still use AIM? What the hell did we use to talk back then?

(6)Raiden vs (13)Waluigi vs (22)Alan Wake 2013

Alan Wake is literally just "white dude plaid shirt" holy shit. I've never played his game but I saw my friend playing it once and it looked alright. I think those devs made that game, uh, Quantum Break. That's the name? Right? Is the protagonist also a bland white dude?

is that fucking Iceman? what the hell happened to you? X-Men 3? good excuse

shit just keeps getting sadder.

Anyway, Alan Wake showed up, yeah, but the real match here was Waluigi vs Raiden. I remember there was a tiny bit of debate as to whether or not Waluigi could be the next L-Block or something, but nobody was super serious about that.

Fast forward to 2018 and people are super serious about that, but more in a Draven context than L-Block. Poor Sakurai has to endure all this harassment because he doesn't put Wario's doubles partner in a video game representing Nintendo's all-stars. Christ, Waluigi is even on ice skates in his match pic.

Raiden was coming off of (cult?) smash hit Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which still has a huge legion of fans. He didn't exactly impress against Waluigi, and if this match had happened now, it might have been much tighter.

What can we expect from Waluigi this year? Well it depends on the anti-rallying measures Bacon puts in place, but I guess he could get a big push from 4chan and reddit. I think people are over the initial outrage of his snubbing from Smash 5, so it would be hard to stir up the pot again unless a portion of tomorrow's Nintendo direct is pre-recorded footage of Sakurai taking a dump on a picture of Waluigi while looking straight into the camera.
