Probably not, but he's done surprisingly decent in his last two contest outings. At least in comparison to 2007 and 2008, where he looked pretty bad. I think Drake takes this, but he's not so much stronger than Tails that I can't see Tails winning this if Drake has fallen off a lot due to Uncharted being over and done with, which is honestly very possible. Would not be the first time we've seen that. Nathan Drake - 54% Tails - 46% Nathan Drake has a 70% chance of winning --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:910492340] in KP's (In-D...

LeonhartFour 10/14/18 12:44:50 AM #208:	I think Tails is a little overrated in 2010 and 2013. He gets measured through Charizard and L-Block, respectively, in those contests, and we know their values are a little inflated. I think Knuckles would struggle against Drake (not necessarily lose, but struggle), and there's no way Tails beats Knuckles, even now. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:910492424] in KP's (In-D...

KamikazePotato 10/14/18 12:58:55 AM #210:	Division 7 Match 5 Tifa Lockhart vs. Geno https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5205-character-battle-ix-division-7-round-1-tifa-vs-cirno-vs-chun https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3791-jenova-division-round-1-ness-vs-geno This match may help us figure out if Tifa is still on roids like she was in 2013. Either way, Geno gets walloped. --- Division 7 Match 6 GlaDOS vs. Mewtwo https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5235-character-battle-ix-division-4-round-2-glados-vs-ike-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5256-character-battle-ix-division-4-final-solid-snake-vs-glados Well. Now here's an interesting match. GlaDOS was one of the secret stars of 2013. She didn't get that much of a chance to shine because the strongest opponent she beat was a horse (who beat Ike, kill me) but her results were, across the board, really strong. Here's some fun X-stats: Zelda 34.22 Charizard 34.22 Mewtwo 34.09 GlaDOS 33.85 Ganondorf 33.58 Sora 33.55 That is totally out of line with how strong she was in the past, and it's years after Portal was relevant. Maybe it just took a while for the voters to learn that the funny robot voice from Portal was actually named GlaDOS? Regardless, she looked really good and she's wasted in a Round 1 match that is an extreme uphill battle. Even if Mewtwo is a fraud and he's not nearly as strong as his 2013 results after Round 2 show - which I believe - the stats didn't take into account anything after Round 2, so what you're seeing there is 'normal' Mewtwo. As normal as Pokemon got in 2013. For GlaDOS to win, you basically have to hope that Mewtwo doesn't get any Pokemon weirdness bonus AND has naturally dropped since the Poke-high of 2013, and while that's possible, I find it hard to imagine he drops more than GlaDOS does. I think Portal is really starting to show its age, and it's poor performance in the 2015 Contest shows that. Wouldn't be surprised at all if GlaDOS falls off a decent amount 2013, that contest felt like a fluke that Pokemon would be proud of. Result: GlaDOS - 46% Mewtwo - 54% Mewtwo has an 80% chance of winning --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:910492936] in KP's (In-D...

Quiet should be the favorite here, and would be on any other site. MGS5 was a much bigger game than Kingdom Hearts: Another Portable Spinoff. The thing is, MGS5 wasn't received well on GameFAQs. At all. It did poorly in the 2015 Games Contest and that other poll I linked to is a really bad look as well. The game's writing and characterization were especially criticized and Quiet wasn't immune to that. And she's just...not that well-liked in the first place? I never once got the impression that she had remotely as many fans as any of the other MGS characters that have gotten into these contests, not even Otacon. I'm honestly surprised she got in at all. Aqua would have been really weak back when her game first came out, but I think enough time has passed for the Kingdom Hearts fanbase to learn about her existence even without having had to play the game, especially since it seems like she'll be an important part of the story moving forward. So instead of really weak, she'll just be...weak. That's enough for me to take her over Quiet, who I have absolutely zero confidence in to win this match on her own merits rather than Aqua being bad.

There's no doubt Bayonetta is stronger this year with Smash and Bayonetta 2 (and it being released on the Switch). Whether that's enough to defeat Riku is debatable... Bayonetta is a loathed character in Smash, and she's DLC only. If she beats Riku, it'll be because of Bayonetta 2 strength. Which she can do, but don't bank on Smash fans for this one. Trust me. We just had a tournament where Bayonetta was allowed and people walked out on the final because it was a Bayonetta mirror, with the winner getting death threats. If Smash fans notice that match they'll vote Riku out of spite. As sad as it is, the bolded part is not a phenomenon exclusive to this one event or only to Bayonetta players. The general gist of the post is right though. Bayonetta as a Smash character is hated by pretty much everyone in the competitive scene--players or spectators--and to a much much larger degree than any previous Smash character has been. --- Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! <cite>pyresword posted [p:910513409] in KP's (In-D...

Point is, Smash players who browse gameFAQs still like Bayonetta more than they hate her. Also note that a lot of people are posting in that topic that "they like Bayonetta in her games but not in Smash", which is meaningful because we are not seeing a game-specific version in the contest. <cite>ZeldaTPLink posted [p:910515070] in KP's (In-D...
