The first Character Battle didn't have a formal nomination system. CJayC apparently just took suggestions from the Current Events board. From there, he just picked the characters to be in the bracket. That's about all we know about how characters were selected.

It's like, one of the only first-round matches that seems like it could actually happen in 2018, and yet I don't have any memory of it. It's like one of the least memorable matches of the first round. I think the poll was actually down for Sonic vs. Tidus later in the bracket, which caused Claire to rank #13 in the xstats. But thanks to Tidus being put against other frauds the next few years, that didn't come crashing down until 2005. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

It's like, one of the only first-round matches that seems like it could actually happen in 2018, and yet I don't have any memory of it. It's like one of the least memorable matches of the first round. Tidus/Claire was the match which decided who had the only perfect R1. Starting around Knuckles Vs. Akira, Ceej would post on the board every day with a list of who still had a perfect bracket, and after Strider Vs. Raziel there were only two people left. They split on Tidus/Claire, and the rest of R1 was considered easy to predict (Sam/Driller was considered the closest match left), so it was assumed that whoever got the match right would be the last perfect remaining and get a perfect R1. Kind of hyped up at the time, lol. I believe RPGFan95 or something like that was the one who got it right, and he remained perfect until Alucard/Duke. --- Yesmar ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't remember what my 2002 bracket looked like but I'm pretty sure I made some terrible mistakes because I assumed the seeding actually had merit? I was really only a Nintendo kid and 2002 was still early in the days of internet and I hadn't really familiarized myself with a lot of the more obscure characters in the bracket so a lot of them I assumed were characters that were really popular and I just assumed I didn't know better. This is basically the opposite effect of the Dunning-Kruger syndrome - I felt that I didn't know anything when in fact I actually knew everything I needed to know. Hell I think I might have picked Serious Sam over Mega Man just because I loved Mega Man and I couldn't really believe that he could pull this upset over the 3 seed who was a character from a game I'd heard was pretty good. Haha jesus what an idiot

Only one i got wrong was taking Kirby through the first two rounds instead of Jill

I think I'd spend more of my time leaking the Smash Ultimate roster to people that don't even know what an Incineroar is. Telling them that one day there will be a Smash game where Solid Snake, Cloud Strife, Mega Man, and a Piranha Plant can all duke it out.

I tried this angle first! Sporcle gave me a few too many infinity-error-pop-up-boxes though and I kicked it to the curb. Leonhart made this years ago though about naming 2002's entrants: Oh hey, I totally forgot I made this. I think I made one for a few other contests, too. But yeah, I could do it.

All I remember about the 02 contest was expecting Mario to win and going "wtf?" at the final. I was too late to fill out a bracket that year, but with the extremely little knowledge I had of almost every non-Nintendo character in the bracket (I would have had such atrocities as Fox > Cloud and Crash > Sephiroth had I filled one out), I expected a Mario > Link final very early, but as the contest went on it became apparent to me that it would be Link > Mario. --- darkx Score: There goes bracket ...
