Poll update. Still a three-way deadlock between the non-Geats options.

It sounds like a lot of people want Meta Knight gone because he's the biggest threat to everyone else RN. I'm guessing he goes, and then it's a toss-up between Flowey and Sakuya, and I'll guess the latter is gone because it kind of sounds like she was being carried by Geats and Flowey's fans in an alliance, which... can't really exist anymore at this part of the game lol

Can the people holding this contest penalize alliances at this stage?

Penalize? I mean... it's inspired by Survivor and Total Drama Island, where wanton alliances and double-crossing are the name of the game, so...tongue

Spoilers for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, but Wild Era Ganondorf doesn’t really get anything new, unfortunately. At least not anything we didn’t already know he was capable of. He’s a megalomaniac with a god complex, can create and resurrect his minions—up to and including the Blights / Archfiends—ad infinitum, can corrupt Zonai and Sheikah technology with his Malice/Gloom, and fought the Seven Sages by himself and only lost due to a Hail Mary plan that involved Rauru exploiting his arrogance to lure him into a trap and then sacrificing himself to seal and weaken Ganondorf when the trap almost didn’t work.

Actually, he does get one new-ish feat: Summoning and commanding evil spirits called shades.

@Alliances

Nothing you could really do to punish them, and if anything I feel like this is something the team would actually ENCOURAGE, partially as a way to drum up engagement, and partially because… Well yeah the whole thing is themed around Survivor/Total Drama and the like, it really just plays into the theme. Would also unnecessarily punish those who support a character but DON’T care about alliances.

@Ganondorf

Damn, though frankly Breath of the Wild Era Ganondorf already felt like he had a good amount of stuff that he was capable of, certainly on the higher end of individual Ganondorf incarnations in that regard I feel.

You see, the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is that there’s only one. I assume.

Yup. Although, just a joke.

[up][up] True, though I would personally love to see that incarnation of Ganondorf in a Death Battle someday. Maybe against a certain other time-traveling princess who is descended from a goddess-blessed bloodline, is—ahem—linked to a divine sword, and holds a grudge against a kingdom-destroying demonic dragon-god?

I feel like Breath of the Wild Ganondorf is certainly different enough to have his own battle at some point.

The legend has returned.

Day 2 of the poll...

It is uhhh, still the same three-way tie. The difference literally comes down to three vote gaps.

Sakuya has 547 votes, Meta Knight 544, and Flowey 541

[up]Hot Damn, I had no idea Meta Knight had this much Support... Or rather this many people really don't want Flowey and/or Sakuya to win.

Also, the funniest match up I've seen someone bring up was Dumbledore VS Merle Ambrose, the main wizard from Wizard 101. And everyone collectively agreed that Merle just absolutely destroys Dumbledore without any sort of difficulty.

Well no, remember, votes means they want the character OUT so Meta Knight has a lot of haters

To be fair, describing them as “haters” at this point doesn’t feel entirely accurate. I think anyone who is left are characters that most people would be really happy to see on. Of course, it just happens that any character who isn’t your favorite poses a barrier to whatever character IS your favorite getting on.

Edit: Somehow “people” had turned into “idiots” when I first wrote this and I have no idea how, please ignore that.

A good vs evil MU I just thought of is Captain Nemesis vs Mecha Man (Ben 10 vs Dispatch). Both are deconstructions of the Iron Man expy who lose their status as a hero and get involved with a team of supervillains.
