(1) Mario/Bowser vs. (5) Ike/Black Knight

(R1) Mario/Bowser: 85.36% vs. Earthworm Jim/Queen Slug-for-a-Butt

(R1) Ike/Black Knight: 59.42% vs. Conker/Great Mighty Poo

And we begin Round 2 with... another blowout. On the plus side we'll get to see some genuine trends since we're switching to 24 hours. On the minus side we'll have 24 hours of this. Not sure the trade off is worth it this early in the contest, myself, but it's what we've got!

One point of interest is that Mario took Ike on in a night match in CBVIII and took 74.1% of the vote - keep an eye out to see how the rivalries affect that at the halfway mark. Black Knight adds nothing to Ike, since his fanbase comes from Smash, while Bowser obviously has an iconic attachment to Mario - if rivalries don't influence the percentages here, it would be fair to ask what conditions need to be met for them to do so.

If you assume the two rivalries they beat are equals, just for talking's sake, Mario/Bowser are projected to reach for 82%. I'd probably take Conker over Earthworm Jim if I had to pick, but Mario suffered a time disadvantage while Ike had the opposite, and will benefit from SFF. Fodderisation imminent.

Mario vs. Bowser with 81.5% of the vote.

Mario vs Ike

Two writeups a day was starting to wear me down, but even so, matchups like this load of junk have me really wishing we'd have stayed at 12 hour polls one round longer. I still maintain that this Contest could be pretty decent from R3 on, but even I have to admit that the next two weeks are going to be painful. Good thing we'll all be playing too much Zelda/Mario/Skyrim/Batman/Uncharted/Assassin's Creed for it to bother us! Well, except AKJ I suppose...

Anyways, Mario draws a Nintendo opponent named anything other than Link, something that happens way too often considering how it always results in one of the dullest blowouts of the season. Even when the other character is respectably strong enough to win matches in their own right, squaring off with Mario is still a nightmare (82 on DK, 71 on Bowser, 81 on Falco, 74 on Ike). Wait, IKE? That match was so terrible I didn't even remember it happened! Well, assuming it did take place, we can take that percentage and pile on less heavy-favorite-anti-voting in this format, Bowser being a better rival, a decent pic advantage (though Ike himself does look cool in that pose), and an increased likelihood of blowouts in general with this format. Added together those would come out to right around

Mario - 78.33%

North Division: Round 2 - Match 33 – (1) Mario/Bowser vs. (5) Ike/Black Knight

Moltar’s Analysis

Mario/Bowser
Round 1 - 85.36% vs. Jim/Butt

Mario starting off the contest strong

Ike/Black Knight
Round 1 - 59.42% vs. Conker/Poo

After seeing all the other blowouts, this performance is kind of bad.

Oh man, just what I wanted to see, a Mario vs. Ike rematch! This time it’s going to be 24 hours long too!

In 2010, Mario almost tripled Ike. Now, Mario has a strong rival in Bowser with him while Ike has...Black Knight. This won’t be a pretty match.

Moltar’s Bracket: Mario/Bowser

Moltar’s Prediction: Mario/Bowser - 78%



Lopen’s Analysis

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3830

Gee I'm sure glad we get to see this one again! Expect Bowser to help more than the Black Knight, even if it is a BLACK KNIGHT.

(You thought because it's a 24 hour match it gets double the analysis? Fat chance!)

Lopen's prediction:
Mario vs Bowser with 78.87%



Leon’s Analysis

Hmmm…I feel like we’ve seen this match before. Oh right:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3830

And that’s not taking into consideration how bad it’s going to get when you add Bowser and Black Knight into the mix. I know people are going to whine and moan, pointing to this match why we should have 12-hour matches forever, but I like the 24-hour format. I suppose I can sympathize with the idea of getting this horrible contest over and done with as soon as possible, but if we had a legitimately good contest, switching to 24 hours earlier would be great! Oh well.

Leonhart’s Prediction: Mario vs. Bowser with 78.65%



Kleenex’s Analysis

Oh hey, round 2! Round 1 sure went by pretty fast. It was also pretty boring. There are still a lot of perfect brackets going into round 2, the crew is at 100% prediction rate, despite Lopen and Dante's numerous attempts to sabotage it, and there's still nothing exciting until the end of the round. We saw this match last year. Here's what happened.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3830

Spoilers, it's going to happen again. And probably be worse because there's a Bowser in the way.

Next.

Kleenex's Prediction: Mario vs. Bowser with 77.23%



Dante’s Analysis

Excellent, back to 24 hour days – much less work for me! To start off round two, we’ve got Mario himself against Ike. Oh. Well, call me tomorrow when the match is interesting.

Winner - Mario/Bowser – 68.42%

Guest’s Analysis - Luster Soldier

This match looks strangely familiar to a match from an past contest. If you are thinking of what I'm thinking of, I'm referring to this match:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3830

This time around, we have Bowser and Black Knight joining in on the match. Mario/Bowser are going to clean up house here in this boring snoozefest to kick off round 2, but the percentages are harder to call here. You can't just look at last year's Mario/Ike match and assume this rematch will end up being another 74-26 affair. I figure Mario/Bowser will perform slightly better compared to last time, since Bowser > Black Knight, plus Black Knight will slightly weaken Ike's team.

Mario/Bowser would only get 81.96% on Ike/Black Knight if Jim/Queen was equal to Conker/Poo. I'd establish that as Mario's ceiling here, but I just don't see Mario/Bowser going that high here. Conker/Poo should be stronger than Jim/Queen, but not very much. If Conker/Poo could get 60% on Jim/Queen, Ike/Black Knight would get 67.54% on Jim/Queen (not happening at all), and Mario/Bowser ends up getting 77.45% on Ike/Black Knight.

Because this match is already dealing with very high percentages, Mario/Bowser won't overperform by very much. Should only be about 2-6% better in this match.

Luster Soldier's Bracket: Mario vs. Bowser
Luster Soldier's Prediction: Mario vs. Bowser - 79.26%

Good lord, didn't expect more than 2 people to link to it.

I admit I had the longest analysis, but that is still not close to the longest Guest Analysis I've written in the past. The length in this one came from discussing how to arrive at a percentage on a match like this, since I don't think it will play out exactly like Mario/Ike from last year.

(2) Sonic/Dr. Robotnik vs. (3) Kirby/Meta Knight

(R1) Sonic/Dr. Robotnik: 73.12% on Katherine/Catherine

(R1) Kirby/Meta Knight: 58.47% on Jill Valentine/Nemesis

This match would have had some genuine hype about it, if only Sonic and Kirby didn't face each other in 2010 with Sonic winning 54.6% of the vote in a day match. As it is, Sonic/Robotnik is the strong favourite. Their performance against the 'atherines in R1 wasn't superb by any means, but Kirby/MK didn't do anything particularly special against Jill/Nemesis either. It's up for debate which rivalry the voters will perceive as the better, but I'd suggest that since Sonic/Robotnik have a long-standing classic hero/villain relationship, and Kirby's base doesn't particularly come from his own games, the nod likely goes to Sonic. Meta Knight, however, is a good deal stronger than Robotnik heads up, so I doubt the partners will have much influence in this match. With the addition of the first twelve hours of the poll, Sonic would have risen a point or so against Kirby 1v1, so that's roughly where I'd expect the percentages to fall here.

Sonic vs. Dr. Robotnik with 55.5% of the vote.

What Happened: lol guilty gear, Sora and Riku hold off a Hitler rally

Why it Happened: GG really is that weak, which allowed for Dante/Vergil to blow out its characters like that. BJ/Hitler needed a bigger rally in order to beat KH, and once the rally ended, the ASV would seal their fate.

What will Happen: This should be one of the most anticipated R2 matches. KH is the favorite going in, but DMC looked good while KH proved to be an anti-vote magnet.

North Division: Round 2 - Match 34 – (3) Kirby/Meta Knight vs. (2) Sonic/Dr. Robotnik

Moltar’s Analysis

Kirby/Meta Knight
Round 1 - 58.47% vs. Jill/Nemesis

Kirby Knight with a solid performance against RE

Sonic/Robotnik
Round 1 - 73.12% vs. Katherine/Catherine

Those Catherines did pretty well.

Oh man, just what I wanted to see, a Kirby vs. Sonic rematch! This time it’s going to be 24 hours long too!

Kirby does have a much better chance at reversing the 54-46 result than Ike did. Meta Knight is a stronger character than Robotnik too. However, I think Sonic/Robotnik’s respected status is going to keep them safe here. Iconic rivalries seem to be dominating this contest so far, and while Sonic did look unimpressive in R1, I don’t think that is a sign of weakness or anything. I mean he looked bad in R1 in 2010 too and we know how that turned out.

People definitely like Kirby and MK individually, but if rivalries still matter, then Sonic/Robotnik has the edge. I expect this to end up somewhere close to Sonic vs. Kirby from 2010 since the rivalry factor and MK > Robotnik cancel out.

Moltar’s Bracket: Sonic/Robotnik

Moltar’s Prediction: Sonic/Robotnik - 54%



Lopen’s Analysis

I'm gonna tell it to you straight-- I've got Kirby/Meta-Knight here. I think round 1 makes the pick look good, even. Resident Evil rivalries are no joke and Kirby beat Jill/Nemesis down pretty well, meanwhile Sonic underwhelmed against Katherine/Catherine as I expected. Basically, every last percentage has gone down about as I predicted, and yet, I doubt.

And okay, let's forget the round 1 results for a minute, and tell you why Kirby can win over this “iconic rivalry.” I'll tell you why:

1. Knuckles exists. Sonic vs Robotnik isn't going to get full cred because that's not the rival Sonic should be against here!
2. Meta-knight, however, is the best rival for Kirby. He's also much more liked than Robotnik.
3. Sonic vs Kirby is a 55-45 match-- 1 and 2 can turn that small deficit.

The utter lack of upsets we've seen thus far has me doubting myself. Am I just forcing interesting results into this boring contest in an attempt to make this contest less terrible? Maybe, maybe not, but as the resident (BRILLIANT) fool, not to be dethroned by the likes of AKJ and Dante, I must continue to back this upset, especially when round 1 and round 2 have gone as I foresaw them. Let's do this first upset and the closest match yet in one fell swoop!

Lopen's prediction:
Kirby vs Meta-Knight with 51.35%



Leon’s Analysis

So this is the third Kirby vs. Sonic match in the last three Character Battles. Kirby beat Sonic in a 4-way in 2008 when he was probably getting help from a bandwagon factor (Yes, you can say that Board 8 thought Kirby getting that far was “obvious,” but only 23% picked Kirby getting that far, so that was a surprise to a lot of casuals for Kirby to beat Big Boss, Master Chief, Dante, and Leon Kennedy). Sonic beat Kirby in a 12-hour day match in 2010 with 54.62%, so I guess this is a “tiebreaker” of sorts.

I still feel pretty good about Sonic/Robotnik here. I honestly don’t think that round 1 performance on the ‘atherines was as bad as many people were saying. Kirby’s performance on Jill/Nemesis was all kinds of impressive until he bled 10% overnight and we saw Leon/Ada get crushed by the MK ninjas. Yeah, we saw Chris/Wesker put up nearly 80% in their match, but I think that’s the red herring for the RE series (like how FF has looked pretty mediocre aside from Terra/Kefka’s near-quadrupling in their match. They look so good mostly because their opponents are so bad and two of the weakest pairings in the contest). I don’t think Jill/Nemesis is that strong. I think Sonic/Robotnik could break 60% in that match with ease, but maybe that’s just me.
#281 | Master Moltar (tc) | message detail | delete | filter
I’ve heard people saying that Meta Knight being stronger than Robotnik will make up the difference from last year’s match, but I don’t think it quite works that way. It’s not just a matter of “Add Sonic and Robotnik’s strength together, and then add Kirby and Meta Knight’s strength together, and there you have it.” You have to take the rivalry as a whole into consideration. Meta Knight definitely beats Robotnik 1-on-1, but will the voters consider Kirby/Meta Knight a superior rivalry to Sonic/Robotnik? I don’t really see it. I don’t think RIVALRY FACTOR will carry Kirby/Meta Knight to victory here. I may be wrong. Heck, I would almost prefer to be wrong just so we can have something interesting happen in this contest, but we’ll see.

Leonhart’s Prediction: Sonic vs. Dr. Robotnik with 55.15%



Kleenex’s Analysis

Oh hey you know what, this match also happened last year. Here it is.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3843

And much like yesterday, it will have a similar outcome. A lot of people are worried that Kirby might pull off a win for some reason (again, very similar to last year), but it won't happen. People are still having Post-Contest Stress Disorder (PCSD) about Kirby's funky run in 2008. Won't happen. And then, Mario vs, Sonic next round! Are you excited for another blowout? I sure am.

Kleenex's Prediction: Sonic vs. Robotnik with 54.13%



Applekidjosh’s Analysis

I'll be the first to say I overrated Kirby in my bracket. I don't know if I was just intoxicated by his sweetness or what. But hey I mean maybe he has a shot against Mario, right? lol

Regardless, it won't take someone of Mario's strength to destroy Sonic. To me, it's all about that match picture. Kirby vs Meta Knight takes you right back to Kirby Super Star or even Super Smash Brothers. The face closeups are awesome and the fighting in the middle is top notch. Kirby fans will see it's Meta Knight Kirby and think how awesome this is and vote for it.

Sonic's match picture is designed to remind you how much "fun" you had with 3D Sonic Games over the years. "Hey we know you liked these games 20 years ago but don't forget, there are tons of extremely terrible ones more recently!!" Thanks for that healthy reminder. Approximately 20% of Sonic's match picture is taken up by oversized white glove.

AKJ predix Kirby vs Meta Knight with 55.55%



Dante’s Analysis

All of a sudden, I see people scared as hell about this match. I mean, yeah, Sonic didn’t pull 80% against the katherines. Big whoop who knew it there are atlus fans in the world. Point is sonic will win this and if you think differently you’re wrong. I don’t feel like delving into stats right now to prove my point, but hey how is that any different than normal. I'm sure you've already seen all relevant info from the guys who actually paid attention in previous contests anyway!

Guest’s Analysis - Sir Chris

Every single year I hear the same crap about Sonic. That this is the year that is going to be different. The year that Ganon or Kirby or Squall (haha yeah right Leon suck it) or whoever is the next hyped chosen one is going to take down Sonic. Every year, at least without the help of four ways and Sephiroth, this has proven to be stupid. Yet year after year there are always a few voices out there that tell us this is the night. It is as if there is some genetic flaw that speaks to certain people and makes them dive off of a cliff.

These people will cite that Meta Knight is a much better partner to have than Robotnik. Pre-contest I would have agreed with this sentiment and it may have given me a little bit of pause. Then the Jill match happened. Kirby was expected to get around 56% on Jill according to last years stats and this year he couldn't even get to 59% when Jill had Nemesis dragging her down and he had Meta Knight in his corner. I was shocked that the pink puffball couldn't pull down 60% on Jill with an anchor tied to her so that is really a problem for Kirby here.

But wait! Sonic couldn't pull 80% on random fodder! Sound the alarms!

...He never has and never will be able to do that. It just isn't in the nature of Sonic to smash someone's face in. Hell getting 70%+ on boobs is far better than he did against Lightning! I say he has boosted if anything.

Long story short is that this year, like every other year, will have Sonic winning a match that is kind of close and kind of debated but in reality it is neither.

Sonic with 56.78%



Crew Consensus: Lopen and AKJ have Kirby, everyone else is sticking with Sonic.

Sonic vs Kirby

Sonic managed 54 directly just last year, neither Robotnik nor Meta Knight is a real game-changer, and honestly that's all we should need to know. Sonic takes it with 54 or 55 or 56% and we can all go on our merry way.

And yet, and yet... I can't shake the way this series has managed to find new ways to embarrass itself these past three years. Losing by 10% to BOTH SMK and Super Metroid when they were supposed to split the vote and let you through? Losing cleanly to Kirby in the 4way with Dante and Seph... and don't get me started on the straight up loss to Street Fighter in a day match.

After the way Resident Evil tore up Dan/Sagat, I could almost talk myself into Kirby being "the real deal" with that dismantling of Jill. Too bad that jerk Leon had to ruin my illusion! Yeah, Sonic continues his string of disappointments with that poor showing on Catherine, but even so Kirby hasn't show us enough to convince me that the 2010 result can be flipped. So I very, VERY reluctantly will have to say

Sonic - 54.07%

I have. It's a puffball vs. a puffball with a sword. Sonic/Robotnik has better history, dialogue, ect.
