Board 8 > NCAA Characters III: Preseason Top 25 Voting!

(+) Yeah! (+)

The field is set, but before we can have a contest, we need rankings!

Rules
Rank who you believe are the 25 strongest characters in this contest to this point in the season, from #1 to #25
1 ballot per user, no alts.
Ballots that are not in the spirit of the rules or egregiously manipulating the polls for personal gain may be removed at my discretion.
No rallying.
Your ballot may be commented on by other users. Please keep any ensuing debate cordial.
The polls will close whenever I get done with pre-season preparation.

Random top 25s, lefty being lefty.

NCAA has returned.

there is a major difference between end of season polls and preseason polls

if these were end of season, sure, Bowser deserves to be #1 - he won it all, so that's his right

but preseason polls should be based on their actual strength, not a character getting lucky in a set of 63 matches where they faced one top seed

Sorry, can't do that. Who's #1?

I'd put Phoenix Wright there, I suppose.

Wait, Charizard was here? Whoops *facepalm* too late; I'd replace Shadow for him/her but it's too late for that.
