| KamikazePotato 10/11/18 10:06:45 PM #6: | Division 1 Match 4 Ganondorf vs. Neku Sakuraba Relevant matches: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5208-character-battle-ix-division-8-round-1-ganondorf-vs-guybrush https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3755-heart-division-round-1-laharl-vs-neku-sakuraba https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5198-character-battle-ix-division-7-round-1-neku-vs-vaas-vs I have no idea how Neku made it back in. He wasn't even slightly respectable back when TWEWY was recent. Gave Laharl that win he'd been searching for for so long, then lost to Catherine somehow. Ganondorf is going to mask him into a fine paste. Final Score: Ganondorf -80% Neku - 20% Ganondorf has a 100% chance of winning --- Division 1 Match 5 Vivi vs. Yu Narukami https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3744-chaos-division-round-1-vivi-vs-donkey-kong https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5207-character-battle-ix-division-8-round-1-vivi-vs-jensen-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5185-character-battle-ix-division-5-round-1-yu-vs-shadow-vs-kat Vivi is a big question mark in this contest. Even if we have (a lot) of precedent showing that big bandwagon entries are never as strong as when they're in the limelight, it's hard not to look at the Midcarder Who Beat Mario and not wonder if he'll be able to retain some of that magic. My money is on 'probably not', but more on that later. Regardless, he doesn't need any of that magic to beat Yu. Yu lost cleanly to Shadow, and Shadow would lose cleanly to Vivi. Yu might be a little stronger now due to Persona being on the upswing but I wouldn't bet on any major differences. Final Score: Vivi - 65% Yu Narukami - 35% Vivi has a 100% chance of winning --- Division 1 Match 6 Victor Sullivan vs. Aya Brea https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5242-character-battle-ix-division-6-round-2-mr-game-vs-drake-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5195-character-battle-ix-division-6-round-1-drake-vs-steve-vs-pac https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5191-character-battle-ix-division-6-round-1-sora-vs-scorpion-vs HOW is Aya back in these things? How does she still have fans? How is she not turbofodder? She didn't even do that bad in her 2013 match! Well, compared to other really weak characters. The power of TJF lives on. DK will never live down almost losing to her. Victor Sullivan is going to be extremely weak. He has no matches so I just posted some Nathan Drake results. Take Drake, then make him like 1/5 as strong, and you get Sully. Drake is the poster boy of the Uncharted series, the main character, the one everyone loves. And he still only has enough gas in the tank to edge out Pac-man and lose easily to Blue. And then there's Sully, who wouldn't even be here if he didn't win the Guru. He's a 'fan favorite' character which means he's going to be a lot weaker than the main character of the same series, and his design is GameFAQs poison. We appreciate an anime or fantasy aethetic here, and Sully is the definition of a boring-looking western character. His match pic disadvantage will be huge, and most voters aren't going to know much about these two outside of the pics. Aya is bad but honestly, she avoided getting doubled by Scorpion and I don't think Sully manages that. She can lose but I still take TJF over an old normal-looking dude on the GameFAQs front page. Final Score: Victor Sullivan - 44% Aya Brea - 56% Aya Brea has a 65% chance of winning --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
