From what I can tell, not directly, but like the Fall Guys, she has some crazy feats in canonical material if you take her music videos literally.

I'm surprised to see Ash Williams in the top 5 so far, didn't realize the masses have been yearning for his presence, as they are for Meta Knight too.

Slenderman getting this far honestly shocked me. IDK if he'll win but the fact he got a spot proves the team is willing to do stuff centered around Creepypastas, which would be new and could be a lot of fun! There's *so* many ways his episode could go depending on what stuff they use.

If I had to place bets on whose actually gonna take it... probably Springtrap, Spider-Man or Miku

Henry Stickmin being #2 is the biggest surprise here. But I'm going to be Team Flowey for this.

I like Stickmin vs Carmen Sandiego.

But, like, specifically video game Carmen Sandiego. The one who’s constantly doing all the impossible shenanigans.

My *favorite* combatant for Henry is Lance Galahad, but Brain Dead 13 is incredibly obscure so it’s probably a waste of a popular matchup. Maybe someone more popular in the same genre like Dirk the Daring?

I am once again pushing for Henry to fight Problem Sleuth, but I'll honestly take any opponent for Henry.[lol]Being in consideration to get on the show's a miracle in of itself.

I still want my Animated Prowl vs Volfogg fight.

They are literally perfect for each other, what with both of them being Robot Ninjas.

I also still want Lucy Heartfillia and Wendy Marvel to appear, since they're the only main characters from Fairy Tail left (and FT is currently 2 losses to 1).

That being said, it's a bit hard to find a good opponent for Lucy. The most logical choice is Yuna, but they'd have to composite her with her Final Fantasy X-2 self in order to get her full moveset.

I personally have always leaned towards using Lenna from FF5, who doesn't have that issue.

Wendy is even harder to find an opponent for (and there's the issue of her being about 12-14).

Oh. I still want Rin and Archer vs Jin and Lora.

That's it for my choices.

I remember Lucy Heartfilia vs. Rin Tohsaka being thrown around, though lemme be honest, Rin might stomp here, if not for Archer Emiya then for her having the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch.

I mean, doesn't Rin use the Jeweled Sword against Sakura during Heaven's Feel?

...wait, is it because of the long process of getting the Jeweled Sword in the first place?

These past <24 hours of this contest have been funny. This Broken Heart system got introduced where every 2 Broken Heart votes meant taking 1 vote away from a character. This got changed to every 4 Broken Heart votes meant taking 1 vote away since it was getting really organized and then just scrapping the Broken Heart system entirely when the realization came that introducing a way to subtract votes is maybe a little toxic. Again, all of this in <24 hours. It might honestly be <6 hours if I'm looking at this timeline of events correctly.

It did give a nice benchmark for who's less likely to get tall poppied, at least. Miku and Henry didn't get too many downvotes despite being the top 2.

...that said, when the actual rounds start we know for fact Springtrap's gonna go first if he doesn't keep getting immunity. Every good Survivor season has a heel.[lol]

Here's the update on the votes after that whole broken hearts debacle.

There's definitely a tight battle for the bottom of the Top 16 between Sakuya, Phoenix Wright and Frieren

If Drac owed the Avengers $20, they would care about the vampires.

I think it’s just a goof but yes the Avengers know there are vampires and fight them often enough. Even fighting Dracula a couple times. During the previous to current Avengers run, they had so many vampire problems that they asked Blade to join the team. But vampires typically operate in the dark and stay far away from the Avengers and the Avengers have enough on their plate that they usually leave vampire problems to Dr Strange or the Midnight Suns or uh Cyclops I guess

But for what it’s worth, Captain America has a recurring enemy that’s a Nazi vampire.

There's also the time where Dr. Doom went to Dracula's moon base to discuss the world events.

Or the multiple years where Jubilee was a vampire.

And then there’s Morbius, who’s enough of a vampire that Blade has tried to kill him on more than one occasion, and the true vampires even recruited him during Blood Hunt.


Since Metal Sonic's gotten a power boost or two since his last solo battle (against Zero), I kinda wanna see how he shapes up against the original Mega Man—and yes, I know they fought in the Archie comics' Worlds Collide and Worlds Unite crossovers, but those are no longer canon to Sonic whereas the IDW comics are—or at least that's what I'd say if I hadn't rewatched their breakdown of OG Mega Man in the battle royale and... yeah... he curb-stomps Metal Sonic in every way except maybe speed, and even then they're close.

I’m pretty sure Metal Sonic would beat OG Mega Man on a re-analysis of both. If I remember correctly, they place the Chaos Emeralds at bare minimum universal in power in Bowser VS Eggman, which Metal Sonic does use for one of his super forms that they did give him, while Mega Man just doesn’t have that level or strength. Even if Metal Sonic didn’t have the Chaos Emeralds, he has fought super forms enough times you could make an argument for him scaling to their stats, though he would probably get that super form anyways.

The best thing you can give Mega Man is variety, but even then that would likely only be a temporary advantage. His own power copying would likely allow him to pull off any of Mega Man’s own moves and powers after seeing them in action, meaning that Mega Man’s biggest advantage would begin helping Metal Sonic too.

Metal Sonic probably beats Zero these days.
