Subby > Fox

Sub winning the fourpack is a lock to me. Fox/Alucard is a coinflip but when in doubt I give Nintendo the advantage.

Alucard > Sub-Zero

The site becoming more niche favors cult classics from the late 90s in my estimation, so I think Alucard is a pretty good bet here. Jill and Sub-Zero could be close though, so she probably loses by 27 votes.

Fox has been really solid in all his contest appearances. Surprised people seem down on him. He's outpaced Falcon and MK before and those guys could give Alucard some trouble (Falcon almost beat him, even).

I'd probably have him second in the x-stats in this fourpack.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised this is the one time this topic doesn't lean NintendoFAQs.

I largely chose this grouping because of these three results from 2010:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3818-gear-division-round-2-solid-snake-vs-fox-mccloud
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3810-varia-division-round-2-samus-aran-vs-jill-valentine
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3834-varia-division-round-3-samus-aran-vs-sub-zero

And then I threw Alucard in for fun since he's been a traditional midcard power from the start.

Its tough to judge Fox cause hes had pretty poor bracket positioning for all his appearances apart from 07, but hes probably the most Midcard Nintendo character out there and I think its possible he beats Subby (who I think beats Jill)

Well, to be fair here, Captain Falcon is one of those characters who has seemingly gotten a little stronger in just about every contest. He went from being tripled by Crono in his first appearance in 2006 to breaking 30% on Cloud in 2010. Plus, he faced Alucard twice in 2008 and didn't come close to beating him either time, and then nearly beat him in 2013. I think he'd hold up a lot better against Fox if he faced him this year.

I don't think people in general actually cared about Captain Falcon before he started getting memed up, which I'm guessing was probably around 2006-2008? That one clip from the anime where he punches Black Shadow and appears to blow up the galaxy was like vitally important.

2008 Falcon was kinda crippled in both matches with Alucard by other Nintendo characters in the match and with that in mind I think he's been fairly consistent since then. Was also real close to Alucard in the 2010 x-stats.

Sub-Zero > Alucard

And it would be pretty close, Id imagine. SOTN is that great and Sub-Zero is pretty iconic.

It's really important to remind people that Alucard has gotten a TV (well, internet) show since last contest. Castlevania Netflix should be good for reminding people he exists and stemming/canceling out his decline IMO.

I think Jill is just weaker than Subby, like yeah the matches with Samus were close but Sub-Zero has had a pretty impressive resume apart from that.

Take note that it was also before MK9 and X which gives him a reason to stay relevant where as Jill isnt in any of the new RE games

I picked Sub-Zero > Alucard but wouldn't be surprised to see Fox do well or even win.

Jill I think is the weakest here.
