Guests Analysis - TsunamiXXVIII

Ive often espoused the view that because Nintendo was virtually unchallenged in the handheld market even while they were struggling in the console market, their primarily-handheld franchises (such as Pokmon) are more resistant to SFF from their heavy hitters. Im not really sure I believe that anymore, but its something worth mentioning after Isaac was able to resist the dual threat of TJF and TOP OPTION, both of which often come into play in 8-9 and 7-10 matches. Its far from the first time Golden Sun overperformed (if you can even call this an overperformance), which made me wonder, does it actually have more strength than we give it credit for?

But of course, it doesnt matter here, because Kirby is one of Nintendos primarily-handheld franchises. Not counting Smash, he went an entire decade with his only non-handheld game being a racing game. Crystal Shards came out in June of 2000; Epic Yarn in October of 2010. The only one between those two was Air Ride. Made his debut on the Game Boy, too, and theres almost always a new Kirby game early in each handhelds lifespan because they use him for gimmicks. (See: Tilt n Tumble, Canvas Curse). So Kirby might actually be a worse opponent for Isaac than certain Nintendo characters that Id expect Kirby to lose toalthough not many, because Kirbys surprisingly high up on the ladder! Ganondorf and Luigi might qualify, though; I dont think Id take Kirby over either of them but I wouldnt be surprised if Isaac stood up to one of them as well as he would to Kirby. Which based on what I put in the Oracle, isnt terribly well!

Kirby with 67.49%
