How this place has changed that Protoman could do so poorly with the board vote.

I think you can blame that on Ike being here.

Guru stats for this match?Anyone knows?

Starting to wonder if he in fact won the board vote and just went through a period of stuffing/rallying thats coming to an end, his fans tend to be pretty rabid about him. Looks good for Robotnik.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, the Guru champion for the 2010 GotD.

And now Protoman crashed
This is weird match

Hahahahahaha Ike is terrible (don't give me that Protoman boost nonsense either, look at ROBOTNIK)

I believe Ike to be weaker than Marth
And Marth lost to Phoenix
So..

C'mon, Robotnik, you can do this!

I was going to just No Pick this match in Expert but I forgot to disable my picks. As long as Ike wins this, though, the worst I can do is a +0 anyway.

But I'd take the +0 in Expert if it means being right about all three characters above 30%. Just the type of redemptive moment I needed after my miserable underestimation of Bayonetta yesterday.

No.

Just no.

In Japan, yeah. Marth was the original Fire Emblem hero; they love him there. But Ike was made with the international audience in mind, and the plan worked perfectly. In the US, which is what really matters for character battles, Ike's stronger.

RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed.

I don't think Robotnik can beat Proto Man now, Europe is Robotnik's main backer (check out UK and Ireland) and Europe's vote share drops off the longer a day match goes on.

No it was because of the comic "Worlds Collide"!!!!
(ok not really,but this can be the best game ever if it will be made)

Whatever about the other two this is very good and very unexpected from Robotnik and a great sign for Sonic characters.

Lost World? I assumed that Sonic characters would've boosted since 2010 due to Colors and Generations, both highly well-received games that Sonic had been lacking for so long. (Of course, poor Knuckles wasn't in either of those games, so he might not feel the same boost that Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik will. Shadow probably won't feel the boost either, since he's not in Colors at all and only shows up for a boss battle in Generations)

We haven't seen Robotnik in 7 years. There's a number of cases of old, nostalgic characters like him getting stronger with time as GameFAQs gets older and more crotchety. Sonic Team has also looked in 2010 and Sonic killed his first match. I always thought it was weird that people were writing off Robotnik here, I didn't pick or expect him to win but I seriously doubted he would get blown out.

It's not really going to work like that since Knuckles is already a known quantity. Good games approve sentiment from people towards the series, maybe attract a few outsiders to play the older games in the series. I wouldn't expect an uneven sort of boost.

His name has always been Eggman in Japan. Eggman is now his nickname and his real named is Ivo Robotnik.

Both get most of their strength from Smash, but Marth has nothing outside of that. Some people actually like Ike and his games. Can't really say the same for Marth!

I don't really care what Robotnik was weaker than in a contest that was...8 years ago, jesus. It's a good base to look at him from, but I definitely expected him to be stronger than he was that year. GameFAQs' mindset about certain things has changed.

"What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!"
This is Yesmar.

Okay, so we've had seven updates since the freeze...

Update #1: Ike = Protoman > Robotnik
Update #2: Protoman > Ike > Robotnik
Update #3: Ike > Protoman > Robotnik
Update #4: Ike >>> Robotnik > Protoman
Update #5: Protoman > Ike > Robotnik (Ike literally only beat Robotnik by 1 vote on this update)
Update #6: Protoman > Ike > Robotnik
Update #7: Ike > Protoman (again by only one vote) > Robotnik

Okay, so Robotnik's been in third place in all but one update...but even so, he's less than 100 votes out of second place.

RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed.

Robotnik almost 60/40 Master Hand, maybe Sin actually has strength. You can believe Ike is a bit weaker, but Proto Man is legit

so you look at Protoman then

no matter how you look at it it's weak, weak, weak, he almost lost to Zidane too

in a match that completely favors him on every level

at some point you're either arguing that everyone that Ike's ever faced has boosted or maybe he's just weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

tune in tokyo 142.94

It just seems really weird to me that we're apparently valuing an 8-year old contest over Proto Man's result we saw in 2010 that doesn't have much reason to change. That's what I look at this poll based off of; I don't really care where Eggman lands, one way or another.
