(+) Yeah! (+)

Clearly you're supposed to not annoy people by doing what you know annoys them, but that hasn't ever stopped you!

How did I annoy someone?

You are the most oblivious person in the world (or just a troll) if you aren't aware that you annoy people all the time.

Knuckles didn't look good. Is the Sonic curse spread?
Guybrush would like to stop facing ranked opponents now.

Pikachu will replace him in your Top 10.

Shouldn't Samus be 2-1 due to that loss to Edgeworth?

She's 3-0 in my heart.

Warning_Crazy Winner of Board 8 Big Brother!
"better than ngamer"- nick

(I'm only throwing this out there because Squall beat her slightly worse than Charizard did)

(But still, Tali is probably a borderline Top 25 character at best, more likely in the 30-40 range, especially given how pathetic this year's field is, which is pretty good)

Notes
Did Phoenix Wright just grab the #1 spot from Bowser after this Top 10 shellacking?
Nathan Drake failed his quick time event and is likely out of the rankings next week.
Mordin Solus always gives up exactly 18 votes and barely squeaks out wins.
John Marston not only won a match, but won by double digits.

Reminder: What happened in the last contest is no longer relevant for the purposes of this contest.

I mean, I'm not saying that wasn't a great win by Phoenix because I doubt Luigi's no longer a Top 25 character, but what Luigi did two years ago doesn't mean much now.

Phoenix Wright is one of the few characters whose ranking will take care of itself.

Well, he was #1 at the end of the season last year, I believe.

Lot of good it did him, too! hey guys let's rally a pokemon as an underdog

and while we're at it let's rally a Zelda game to win a GameFAQs contest

Wait, nevermind. Kirby was #1 at the end of the season last year. Phoenix was #2.

Being #1 is a curse, it basically means you will get anti-voted and not win out in the end anyway.

Unless you're Melee.

Lightning doesn't strike twice.

But she gets struck twice by Top 10 ranked characters appearing in Melee.
