Something I just thought of, in the event of rallies.
There will be four matches going on at a time. With all the rallied votes coming in, I wonder if that will affect any of the other results? --- "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE ... Copied to Clipboard!

i originally had zidane > knuckles but then i saw monika was having a match that day so i changed it
something tells me that the people playing ddlc care more about knuckles than zidane and they would fuck up a close match just a theory tho --- Curator of the Character Battle X Archive https://bit.ly/2NEbCdA ... Copied to Clipboard!

(already explained why I don't think Smash 5 helps him much) and I've already explained why I think it does. After he missed Smash 4, people thought he would never come back, so having him back for Ultimate was a pleasant surprise that many people are very excited for. ctesjbuvf posted... That bonus match was Snake's best chance ever to beat Link imo. Nah, Draven ruined it. Link was very clearly getting anti-voted in his matches before Draven. The site was getting tired of Link winning all the time (finally). Now it's been five years since then and Link didn't win CBIX, so we'll see if that mentality still exists, but it's nice that people have finally started to realize that Link is the one who wins all the time, not FFVII.

I have no idea what the DDLC fanbase would prefer there but I have Knux winning anyway. Eh, I wouldn't worry too much about that. It's a specific fanbase who shouldn't clearly favor one over the other either way, I'd think. It's not like rallying Tumblr, I think, where you had to worry about how they'd affect the matches around them. Also, I wouldn't expect the Switch ports to matter much. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel like any excitement about Snake being back as a returning character have been totally drowned out by all the other new guys in Smash.
(Now, Young Linkthats a real comeback story!) It cant hurt him, but I dont know how many people are making noise about him, you know? Then again, I guess the real point of any of these resurgences in popularity is driven by reigniting favoritism in a lapsed fan, giving them that extra reason to vote for Snake over someone else. Maybe it could help, but I think the cards are a bit stacked against him when you consider what has been happening with his tougher competition. The last time one of these happened, though, I seem to recall Vivi beating Mario, so were through the looking glass on everything! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Only took ten years! Well sure, if you count that, but I'm not convinced Link's antivotes were coming from anyone that used to vote for him the whole way through, so I doubt that would make a difference in the end. If the match is Link vs. Snake vs. Mario/Samus, then it could've definitely happened, but I still have doubts Zelda fans would've let it happen, if the match was just somewhat close, which it probably still would be. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to BKSheikah, the winner of the Best Year in Gaming contest. ...

He wasn't "lower echelon" until 2013. Even if Mega Man had faced him in 2006, 2007, 2008, or 2010, he wouldn't have beaten him, so LMS's comment is still pointless.

Mewtwo might not be as strong as Sonic and Sephiroth imply, but Mewtwo also hasn't given us a single unimpressive performance yet either. Biggest blowout of the contest, upset Vincent in shocking fashion (pic be damned), doubled Bowser despite losing to him before when handicapped with Toad, led over Draven for several hours, and now has two wins over Noble Niners. That's before considering what all else Pokemon's done to support Mewtwo being legit this contest, before or after PokeFAQs hit hard. Mewtwo would compete with the bottom side of the Noble Nine one-on-one...thinking Sephiroth/Sonic/Crono are likely beaten. #450 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/11/2013 12:35:01 PM | message detail Mewtwo would flop next contest the same way Charizard flopped.
