Plus, as we've already discussed, Roy is significantly stronger than the opinion of his game among the more casual side of the fanbase would suggest


I mean, obviously. If he just had his game he'd lose to Velvet or James. Even with Smash it'd be tempting to pick them over him.

Who's the current weakest Smash character to have been in a contest? Game & Watch? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5242-character-battle-ix-division-6-round-2-mr-game-vs-drake-vs

Wonder if Roy would be much better than that.

Statistically, it's Wolf by a longshot, but not exactly under the fairest of circumstances. Olimar has been pretty weak in his previous performances.

Roy would more than double either of them

I don't think he'd be that much weaker than Marth/Ike

That's a poll taken of the Fire Emblem subreddit itself. You're not going to get much more hardcore than that, and Binding Blade didn't even make the top half of a poll type that weights against low playrate.

huh, I thought Genealogy of the Holy War was far and away the most-beloved, and now it's below the once-reviled Sacred Stones

Genealogy won the Best Story poll, which is probably why it gets talked about a lot. I don't think the gameplay is anywhere near as well-regarded, and in fact when looking at the Best Gameplay poll, it ended up in the bottom 5.

Here's a an image album with all the results of all the polls:

Highlights:
-Awakening is the most played
-Radiant Dawn is most likely to be someone's favorite
-Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are the highest rated
-Ike is people's favorite protagonist
-Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn have people's favorite cast of characters
-Genealogy has people's favorite story
-Echoes has the best music

I think I can explain why Roy hasn't made it before. It's because neither Fire Emblem nor Smash fans will think of him right away when asked to name their favorite characters.

He doesn't do much to stand out in either game. In FE6 he's a standard Lord with lackluster combat and in Melee he's largely overshadowed by Marth. People seem to really dislike the clone/echo fighter characters too in my experience.

Roy Koopa certainly deserves a contest slot more tbqh.

In seriousness, yeah it's pretty obvious why Roy doesn't really compete with Marth well in this. Marth is better in Melee (to the point where he became one of its faces), actually exists in Brawl, and actually exists in 4 (yes, yes, Roy got in 4 eventually, but it was quite a bit after launch and even then he's DLC only).

He's probably weaker than one or two of the non-Smash FE characters like Lyn.

Division 6 Match 1
Geralt vs. Rosalina


https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6141-best-game-ever-day-23-round-2-the-witcher-3-vs-metal-gear
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6204-best-of-2015-game-of-the-year

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3793-jenova-division-round-1-gordon-freeman-vs-princess-peach

Rosalina is such a trap character. She's going to get a decent amount of support here because she's a fairly popular Mario character, but man is she (probably) going to fall flat on her face. I used a poll of Peach here because Peach is Rosalina's absolute ceiling of strength, and it's likely that she comes nowhere close. I've seen some people on the board here state that Rosalina will rival - if not exceed- Peach in strength because she's liked way more than Peach is, and that is the exact kind of trap logic that led to stuff like people thinking Luigi would be stronger than Mario. Barring extreme circumstances, the 'fan favorite' character is never stronger than the icon.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5997-which-mario-character-is-your-all-time-favorite

Rosalina won't be terrible but she'll be like (gonna pull a number out of my ass) 70% as strong as Peach, and honestly, I think Geralt could hang with Peach. Witcher 3 has performed well in the few polls we've seen it in so far, and the game has only grown since then. It's probably the most well-received game of the decade and even GameFAQs couldn't ignore that. A character's status as a 1 Seed isn't always indicative of strength, but it's still impressive that he managed to garner that much support without a big B8 push. And luckily for Geralt, he passes the GameFAQs Front Page test by being the most anime-looking western character we've ever had. White hair? Golden eyes? Fantasy armors/sword? Dude fits right in. Geralt has the potential to be a midcarder, and even if he doesn't end up *that* strong, I think he has enough to beat Rosalina. Unless he flops. You never know with Western characters.

Result:
Geralt: 58%
Rosalina - 42%

Geralt has a 75% of winning

Division 6 Match 2
Ryu Hayabusa vs. Simon Belmont


https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3805-mushroom-division-round-2-ryu-hayabusa-vs-master-chief

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5187-character-battle-ix-division-5-round-1-freeman-vs-hades-vs

Ryu Hayabusa is one of the most volatile non-joke characters in Contest history, rivaling Kefka even. His strength is entirely based on having a cool ninja design (what, you think people have actually PLAYED Ninja Gaiden?) so his results fluctuate wildly based on how weeby GameFAQs is feeling at that time. He's gotten SFFd by Solid Snake twice despite not being in the same series simply because Snake out-cools him, and god forbid if you put him in sprite form.

Even at his worst, though, I struggle to see him losing this. Simon wasn't awful before but High Fodder doesn't beat Midcarders without a serious boost, and I don't think Smash Ultimate giving more relevancy helps that much. He's not going to be stronger than Alucard and Alucard wouldn't stomp Hayabusa. Probably. Hayabusa is all over the place and he's definitely past his prime. Honestly, writing this out made me a lot less confident in this pick than I was before, but Simon's previous showings simply weren't good enough for me to think he takes this. He needs a big Smash boost and Hayabusa flopping on the same day which is...possible. Don't fail me, random ninja on the GameFAQs front page!

Result:
Ryu Hayabusa: 55%
Simon Belmont - 45%

Ryu Hayabusa has a 75% of winning

In case you're talking about me, this pretty much matches my expectations for the record.

I've said that Rosalina could be stronger than Peach, but ultimately it's not something I'd taking in bracket if the match came up I don't think.

I will say that I actually don't view Peach as an iconic character at all.

Division 6 Match 3
Sans vs. Pac-man


https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6177-best-game-ever-final-undertale-vs-zelda-ocarina-of-time
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6200-best-of-2015-pc
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6204-best-of-2015-game-of-the-year

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5195-character-battle-ix-division-6-round-1-drake-vs-steve-vs-pac

Undertale is the best game ever, and the best PC game of 2015, but not the best game of 2015. I love polls.

No one cares about Pac-man, but everyone knows him. He's the ultimate character to vote for when you're apathetic about your options. Can Sans beat that? I definitely wouldn't be considering him if 2015 hadn't happened, but Undertale rather forcibly left a deep impression here. The game still doesn't have that much natural strength here, but you don't need that much to beat Pac-man. Sans will be getting a lot of anti-votes due to what happened in 2015, but few of those people would have voted him over Pac-man regardless, so...

Eh. I probably take Pac-man to be naturally stronger than Sans. Sans probably doesn't beat Nathan Drake either. Buuuut Sans has the internet to fall back. I don't think that Sans does what Undertale did in 2015 simply because people don't get worked up over the same bandwagon twice, but he will get smaller scale rallies like what Pokemon characters get all the time, and I think that will be enough to tip the scales even with the new anti-rally stuff in place. This is the first result I'm banking on that I think is an actual upset.

Sans - 51%
Pac-man - 49%

Sans has a 45% of winning

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5223-character-battle-ix-division-9-round-1-charizard-vs-riku-vs

So. Bayonetta was not very good in 2013. Since then she's had a sequel, her game ported to new systems, and a publicized Smash appearance. Wonder how that last bit turned out?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n96G4XP6rk" data-time="


Oh.

Riku has gotten weaker every year since he first appeared, and he got decked pretty hard by Charizard on 2013, but he's still naturally a lot stronger than Bayonetta and has KH3 on the horizon. Not expecting any big upsets here, although it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Bayonetta - 45%
Riku - 55%

Riku has an 80% chance of winning

You're wrong on both. Witcher 3 alone has sold about as much as the ME series combined and Witcher 3 actually looked about as strong as ME1/ME2 in 2015, back when the game had sold a lot less than it has now.

What I'm saying is not purely a numbers thing. For example the best selling PS2 games are Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Gran Turismo 3 by a pretty sizeable margin, but I don't think anybody is going to claim that those are the "biggest" PS2 games as far as the general gaming community is concerned.

Western series like The Elder Scrolls or Uncharted or Mass Effect are big enough that I'm constantly hearing about them even though I have no interest or stake in those series whatsoever.

The Witcher just...isn't.

It's possible that the gaming community is de-centralized enough that what I'm referring to as "the gaming community" is actually some subset thereof, but I cannot even remember the last time I've heard the Grand Theft Auto series even mentioned, much less talked about in any significant fashion. The Witcher is in a similar boat for me.

This match is hilarious. It, more than anything else in the bracket, proves that Allen pays attention. It's a match of The Mighty That Have Fallen and I Iove it.

Vincent was trash in 2013. He's lucky he got the Round 2 pic to blame his woes on, because even if you take it away his Round 1 performance still projected him to not beating Phoenix by much. Thankfully for him, Magus is the biggest embarrassment in contest history. Not even Suit Vincent gets smacked by Alucard as badly as Magus did in 2010. The dude has been a conga line of embarrassment for over a decade, and it's not stopping here.

I'll let do the x-stats do the talking for these two characters. Seems fitting.

Magus (2013c) has a strength of 24.44 against Base Link.
Vincent (2013c) has a strength of 29.89 against Base Link.

I think Geralt's absolute ceiling is 2013 Shepard, and I doubt he hits that. He could be around Gordon level though, and that's enough to beat Peach, much less Rosalina.

This match sucks.

Feels like wasted potential but hey, someone has to get fed to an underseeded Sub-Zero each year.

Okay, time out. Can someone please contact Allen and ask him if 'Ren Amamiya' is going to be called Joker in the poll at all, and get his Joker outfit? Because like 90% of the Persona 5 fanbase is going to have no idea who this Ren guy is. That right there decides the match for me. If Joker actually gets to be Joker, then I think he probably wins. Persona 5 was a pretty big game here. Otherwise, Claire wins because this is like a worse version of the Vincent fiasco.

Result:

Division 6 Match 7
Shulk vs. Sub-Zero

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3765-varia-division-round-1-tidus-vs-sub-zero

This match sucks. Shulk is one of the characters I was most looking forward to seeing in action as I think he has many reasons to increase since 2013, but Sub-Zero is simply too high of a wall to climb. Feels like wasted potential but hey, someone has to get fed to an underseeded Sub-Zero each year.

Shulk - 41%
Sub-Zero - 59%

Sub-Zero has a 95% chance of winning

It's possible that the gaming community is de-centralized enough that what I'm referring to as "the gaming community" is actually some subset thereof, but I cannot even remember the last time I've heard the Grand Theft Auto series even mentioned, much less talked about in any significant fashion. The Witcher is in a similar boat for me.


GTA is a pretty big deal. Even on GameFAQs, GTA5 is competitive with Oblivion. That's not bad and it only needed to sell 90 million copies to get this far.
