Surprised this sort of topic hasn't been made yet. The % is my odds of my favorite winning.

Anyways, for bracket 1:

Dante vs. Cuphead: This one seems like a no-brainer. With his multiple games and relative popularity I'd give this to Dante over Cuphead. Cuphead's only got one game and didn't get much characterization in it. However, if they use Donte for the image and there's enough nostalgia for older cartoons (doubtful but still) Cuphead might be able to get into the running. 80% in favor of Dante.

Lightning vs. Chloe: I think Lightning will win this simply because of character recognition. That said I won't be surprised if disgrunted FF fans vote for Chloe out of spite for the XIII trilogy. 55% Lightning.

Spyro vs. Chun Li: Closer than you'd think but Spyro's been a C-lister struggling to get back into the limelight for a while now while Chun Li's got Street Fighter fame to back her up. The latter will probably carry her to victory. 60% Chun Li.

Ganon vs. Neku: This one's gonna be a slaughter. Not a lot of people played Neku's games due to things like rarity while Ganon has generations of fame built up. 90% Ganon.

Vivi vs. Yu: This one is hard. IX is the overlooked FF here in the west; which is a real shame. However Persona didn't really hit mainstream till 5. Vivi's pretty beloved by the FF community but I've got no clue as to how Yu's liked. 40% Vivi, 30% No clue, 30% Yu.

Victor vs. Aya: Neither character's got a terribly strong edge here in terms of mass popularity. Victor's got the more popular/mainstream games but PE's been around for a bit. I give it to Victor but only because of Uncharted being mainstream. 30% Victor, 25% Aya, 45% No Clue

Tidus vs. DK: This one will be interesting and prime for an upset. FFX is divisive among the FF community but well liked on the whole and Tidus is... not the worst received. Meanwhile DK's got his years of seniority and classic Mario backing him up; but hasn't been out and about too much of late on the whole. I'm giving this a 45% DK, 40% Tidus, 15% Upset.

Leon vs. DB: This seems like a slam dunk. DB's got basically no character as a blank slate as opposed to Leon's actually defined character. While Skyrim's more popular ATM RE's still no slouch. I don't think it's IMPOSSIBLE for DB to win, but I will certainly be surprised. 70% Leon.

Division Favored: DK: I feel that this one will, ultimately, amount to either Dante, DK, or Ganon winning. Ganon's got a tough bracket with Chun Li and Dante while DK, if he can make it past Tidus, will have basically a straight shot for the division finals. Dante may pull off an upset (especially if Chun Li beats Ganon somehow) but I feel DK's got the best odds.
