battle of the sidekicks

Tails did well to get this far, but this is where his road ends. The only debatable thing here is if Tails is going to end up doing better than Frog on Luigi.

Im going to guess...no. In fact this could end up looking pretty bad for Tails. Usually he ends up avoiding Nintendo or other really recognizable and popular characters, but now hes running head-first into Marios brother. If he under-performs, I wouldnt be surprised.

Moltars Bracket: Luigi

Moltars Prediction: Luigi 67%

transiences Analysis

Everyone's probably going to make a Mario/Sonic AT LAST joke here, right? This is the babiest of baby versions of that hyped matchup. At least Sonic has 'tude going for him; Tails has, um, that little helicopter tail thing that just looks kinda dumb. If Luigi is a clone of Mario, that's still better than a tagalong like Tails.

Anyway, Luigi probably looks as good as ever here - Tails is just a lesser Luigi and I doubt many people actually like Tails. Historically he's gotten fed to bigger icons and well-known characters; this year he got a bunch of PS3 and Xbox bums that don't really jive with this website. Put him against maybe the biggest icon of the baby bracket and he goes down pretty easy. I doubt he looks better than Frog.

transience's prediction: Luigi with 65.79%

Leonharts Analysis

Whew, last day of four writeups per day! Running short on time so Im gonna rush through these today. Thankfully, you dont need to say much about most of them! Tails has done well to get this far for the first time, but hes probably not any stronger than Frog, so Id say 40% is out of reach. People have talked about Luigi applying some SFF here, which I dont totally buy. Im always skeptical to call for SFF when theres not a direct relationship between the two. Luigi shouldnt really need it to score a big number anyway.

Leonharts Vote: Luigi

Leonharts Prediction: Luigi with 66.11%

Kleenexs Analysis

Not a ton to say here. Luigi didnt completely squash Frog last round, but he did fine and Tails was never really going to compete here. Should be a routine win. The other match in this division is far more interesting.

Kleenexs Prediction: Luigi with 65%

Guests Analysis - Xeybozn

We've never seen Mario vs.Sonic in a character battle, but we've seen enough similar stuff in other contests to know it would probably end badly for Sonic. And while Luigi is a step down from Mario, Tails is an even bigger drop in strength compared to Sonic. This should be a huge blowout. The only other thing I have to say is that's it's ridiculous to see Tails make Round 3 when Knuckles still hasn't. How did that even happen?

Prediction: Luigi - 76.13%

Crew Consensus: Tails never fails...expect in this match.
