Most everyone in this topic is saying the contest is ruined because no Barkley/Jordan, Einstein/Hitler, or now Mario/Sonic. They're all legitimate ousts. I'm not saying I love Bacon, or even like him. But he's making some solid calls right now. I don't like the tag team format, but this contest is far from ruined. Put the tag team of Mario/Bowser head to head with Mario/Sonic and Mario/Bowser would win anyways. -- The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out of 10 doctors agree that 1 out of 10 doctors is an idiot. <cite>junk_funk posted [p:388079] in Bacon: ...

junk_funk 09/27/11 12:12:00 AM #307:	Mario/Bowser is the most recognizable rivalry in video game history. They'll still lose to Link. But that rivalry will comfortably get third and might challenge Cloud/Seph. -- It is better to be quotable than to be honest. <cite>junk_funk posted [p:388083] in Bacon: ...

Charles Barkley has magic basketball powers and is traveling a post-apocalyptic world that was destroyed by a chaos dunk.

PartOfYourWorld 09/27/11 1:18:00 AM #315:	I stopped at about 150 posts, which was enough to get the gist of this argument. I think the main reason people were so amped about this pairing is because there is little else about this contest to get excited about. Seems like the board understands that this whole contest can end up as one serious dud, so we're trying to do what we can to interject a little fun in things. -- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! <cite>PartOfYourWorld posted [p:388091] in Bacon: ...

metroid composite 09/27/11 10:19:00 AM #323:	What? What? Seriously? This doesn't even make sense. This isn't even something I would consider a silly nom. It's not stretching the rules in any way.

Rivals. *MoogleKupo141 posted...* we should nominate Hoopz vs. Vinceborg in protest only one of those is even sort of a real person. Maybe, but somehow I doubt it would have as much potential. The recognizability of the names does contribute. Earlier in the topic, someone asked if we'd still support it if, for legal purposes, the names of Barkley and Jordan's characters had to be changed to similar names, and we said yes, because "Charles Berkley" and "Michael Gordon" are still recognizably supposed to be thinly-disguised versions of Barkley and Jordan. I don't think the average voter would get the joke with Hoopz and Vinceborg--Hoopz is, as you said, an entirely original character not based on any real people, and Vince Carter isn't as well-known as either Barkley or Jordan. -- Nominate The Kid vs. The Guy (I Wanna Be The Guy) for the Greatest Gaming Rivalry Contest!

BoshStrikesBack 09/27/11 1:52:00 PM #325:	I know we've moved on in the discussion, but can we revisit why "joke characters" make a contest bad in the first place? L-Block had an incredible run during a single contest, after which his support fell and he became fairly weak. Missingo. had genuine strength as the first real "glitch character" people recognized on a widespread basis. In both cases, these characters led to some exciting match-ups without disrupting the flow of the contest or making it an unbearable joke-nom-fest. I understand what happened with GameSpot, but their rules and much lower participation make that a poor comparison. -- Houston Texans: 2-1 Drinks glass, throws out chocolate milk. <cite>BoshStrikesBack posted [p:388101] in Bacon: ...
