Unless DK's boost comes from Nintendo being in the upswing. In which case Noctis is about to get Noct-out


Or DK was already this strong in CBIX

This is actually good news for Sonic if DK is actually noticeably stronger now as a result of DKC Returns

This is what I'm thinkin so far

The Switch is an incredible revival for Ninty. I would not be surprised if this was The Boost (TM) Mk. II.

(In which case, Mario>Snake, BOOK IT)


It has nothing to do with the Switch - it is not a successful system. It's just that the demographics of this site show that people who were big on Final Fantasy have mostly left the site. We saw this last contest. We've seen it since 2005.That means Nintendo comparatively appears stronger

Obviously, Squall has a 0% chance against Zelda

Nobody cares anymore about DKC Returns. DK is not some powerhouse. This is all Final Fantasy crashing and you know it. Don't make excuses. Don't be a spin doctor. I don't like it either, I enjoy FF games characters but I've accepted it.

It's not trailing far behind the Wii in units sold, what makes you think it's not successful?

Square waning and Nintendos on the rise. I'll never enjoy these contests as much as when Square was competitive.

All things must change.

Donkey Kong is a terrible character.

It's too early to say square's on a down year but if it is, we all know why: because they've been garbage for a long-ass time.

The only contest history Yu has is getting 32% in a 3-way with Shadow and Kat from Gravity Daze with Shadow almost getting 50%. I dunno what that means for his strength given Shadows mixed reception and Kat is uh well obviously super fodder. Jesus Shadows contest history is pretty terrible too. At least he got 45% on Mario once upon a time, but otherwise yikes

Wow, Tidus is getting rekt. Good thing I switched to Leon for winning Round 2 against Tidus, but now I'm not even sure if Leon would win against DK. If he does, I highly doubt he will get past Vivi. Ugh I let this board influence my bracket too much. My original version had all Nintendo dominance.

Yesterday:

50/50 states had Ganondorf and Lightning winning.

49/50 states voted for Dante. North Dakota voted for Cuphead.

39/50 states voted for Chun Li. 11 states had Spyro (AK-ID-KS-ME-MO-NE-NH-ND-RI-SD-TN). A couple states were 50/50 but colored for Spyro, so I counted them for him.

Aya/Sully is the kind of match where Sully would win almost everywhere that isnt here most likely. Shes had basically nothing after the first two PS1 games other than a PSP game people didnt even seem to care for while Sully has the Uncharted games and is well liked. I mean most people these days are probably at least aware that hes that old guy in Uncharted while most people would probably not even know who in the world Aya is

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5239-character-battle-ix-division-5-round-2-shadow-vs-leon-vs

Shadow isn't that weak. We actually have a direct Leon/Yu comparison through Shadow that year, and through that we get:

Leon Kennedy68.10%
Yu Narukami31.90%

This is a great result for Vivi no way you slice it.

And yeah Lightning blowing the doors off of Chloe Price, even if she's going to be one of the weakest characters in the bracket, implies that Lightning isn't as weak as we thought, which means DK beating her means DK is better than we thought too

It's hard for me to envision DK actually taking down Leon, especially when you consider that Mister Kennedy has some Nintendo ties due to RE4 originally being a Cube exclusive during a drought in the Cube's lifespan, but weirder things have happened.

Then Shadow went on to get dead last against Gordon Freeman with Leon in the poll. The only impressive thing Persona has ever done was destroy Turbofodder 999 in 2015

A+, North Dakota.

Tidus, come on bro. Use Haste and Quick Hit -- USE HASTE AND QUICK HIT ALREADY. This match by itself doesn't worry me much for Nintendo right away...but another two or three like this and that will start a legit wave of Nintendo fear.

I am counting on this topic for some serious 800 BANANA ACTIVATE if Tidus makes some cuts tonight.

Hand vs. Noctis has been one of the more debated Round 1 matches, because who could forget Hand > Kufa as one of the most striking first round upsets ever?
