In the first phase of this contest, we ranked every single character to ever make a contest. Using the ranked list of 316 characters, I've built 5 64-character brackets that we are now ready to go through. This is Phase II
(1)Charizard vs. (16)Yuri (Shadow Hearts) I could give less a damn about Shadow Hearts, especially when it faces my childhood dragon. It's biased, yes, but Yuri isn't all that cool anyways.
(8)Bidoof vs. (9)Prinny I would've picked Bidoof for that hilarious webcomic, but the Prinnies are hardcore at their job. Plus, even they have more uses then being the trainer's surfing slave.
(5)Serge vs. (12)Carl Johnson *abstain* I can't vote here, since I haven't played either's game. If I must pick at a tiebreaker's notice, then give it to Carl Johnson, because something about Chrono Cross doesn't seem very good. Maybe it dissapointed compared to Trigger (well durr); I'll need to find out.
(4)Ike vs. (13)Raz This was tough for a 4/13 match (none of this, "eat a sandwich" crud floating around), and it's there for a good reason. Ike and Raz are great protagonists from Fire Emblem and Psychonauts, respectively. Yeah, I know Ike's going to stomp all over the dude being a FE character, but you have to give Raz credit for being one of the best psychics in the bracket.
(6)Ganondorf vs. (11)Ansem Ansem did about as much, if not more than Ganon, as a villain (which includes making a dimension and putting in the DisOrganization 13). Ironically, the DARKNESS being is the only KH character I'd actually like to vote for, since Ganon gets pwned hard in TP. That sliver there gave Ansem the win.
(3)Squall Leonhart vs. (14)Ghaleon Yes, I'm familiar with Skies of Arcadia now. Yes, Ghaleon's a decent villain. Hell no he's not beating one of the few saving graces of FFVIII, end of story.
(7)Joanna Dark vs. (10)Isaac I'm not doing a write-up for this match, because there are a lot of characters from games I haven't played, and Isaac is one of them. Ironically, I've played Perfect Dark, so there's a winner.
(2)Pokemon Trainer Blue vs (15)Ellis Sorry Ellis; we already have a champion.
