KamikazePotato 10/12/18 9:34:42 PM #73:	Division 5 Match 7 Shovel Knight vs. Captain Toad https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6101-best-game-ever-day-13-gta-san-andreas-vs-shovel-knight https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5745-best-of-2014-wii-u What a silly match. I probably pick Toad here but the 'Captain' at the front makes him a lot weaker. He goes from a Mario mainstay to a random Toad in a random game that few people played. On the other hand, Shovel Knight the game actually did pretty well in 2015 (relatively speaking) and Shovel Knight the character has a likable enough design to get his own Amiibo. And I think that's enough. The likability, not the Amiibo. Basically no one cares or likes about Toad (let alone Captain Toad) while Shovel Knight is popular just for his unique design and successful standalone game. Maybe he loses anyway but, hey, top option. Result: Shovel Knight - 58% Captain Toad - 42% Shovel Knight has a 60% chance of winning --- Division 5 Match 8 Waluigi vs. Aerith https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5144-character-battle-ix-division-1-round-1-raiden-vs-waluigi-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7115-if-you-could-convince-nintendo-to-just-put-one-more https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3782-gear-division-round-1-auron-vs-aerith https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5226-character-battle-ix-division-1-round-2-shepard-vs-tharja-vs What an even sillier match. Some people are jumping on the Waluigi bandwagon because he's a recent meme due to getting snubbed for Smash (which is the only reason he won that recent poll) but those people are also forgetting that Waluigi has been nothing but trash in actual contest settings. Waluigi doesn't get 42% on Auron in an SFF match or go even with Shepard. You have to bank on a serious rally and like...come on. Maybe if Allen hadn't instituted the anti-rally rule, but with that in mind, I find it hard to believe that he picks up enough traction to beat anyone with real strength. It's not like there's this centralized place to go to find Waluigi fans or something. A lot of Nintendo fans still don't remotely care about him. And it's not like there's a Waluigi subreddit or somet... ... Okay so apparently there is. But it's not active at all so I'm sticking to my guns. Result: Aerith - 61% Waluigi - 39% Aerith has a 75% chance of winning --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:910433901] in KP's (In-D...
