The wonderful world of Round 2 continues! Set your stock, ready your timer, it's time to Smash ahead!
Lip's Stick BracketThe first matchup in the Lip's Stick bracket was quite a Pokemon battle! However it was the David in this David and Goliath story that won as Charizard was beaten horribly by Pikachu. When Marth and Palutena were matched up it was quite a bit closer but Smash gamers just didn't take that much appreciation for the goddess. Things were even closer between 3rd Party character Snake and Ivysaur. Snake's unique playability won over the forums hearts. Finally it was Ganondorf and Falco. Both are clones but Ganondorf's strong personality seemed to have beat out Falco.
The second of three Fire Emblem characters in this bracket was up against the very unique Villager from Animal Crossing. So naturally, Roy, got the axe! In the greatest win for the whole bracket, Bowser squished the Pikachu-wannabe, Pichu, at an 18-2 vote! Jigglypuff was the fifth Pokemon in this bracket and she gave Robin a run for his money. Yet, the newbie from Fire Emblem actually managed to nab a couple extra votes and nab the win. Lastly, it was a unique matchup in Zero Suit Samus and the powerhouse Little Mac but Little Mac ended up knocking her out.
Smash Ball BracketThe fourth and final bracket got way more interesting with a severe lack of Pokemon and Fire Emblem characters. Starting us off was a close race between Diddy Kong and Toon Link! Both have their fans and were beloved by some but it was a final vote that secured Toon Link's cartoony win. Another close match was well closer than anyone could have suspected. Two strong women, Wii Fit Trainer and Samus Aran, were pitted head to head. With one final vote, Samus took the win and Wii Fit Trainer was exhausted. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, the announcer yells Greninja in a really unique way… but it wasn't enough to get him the win. Duck Hunt beat him out at over five times the votes. The Mii Fighter was up against perhaps the most dastardly opponent yet… the Sandbag! We needed the Sandbag because we were one short for this whole thing. It was surprisingly close too at 11 to 8 but the Mii Fighter took his signature look and pummeled the Sandbag.
Hasn't been seen since Melee but Young Link came back to whip Lucario back to the Sinnoh Region! Dark Pit and Palutena may have been iced early on but it was finally time for Pit to take hold! Unfortunately for him, he was up against R.O.B. and knocked out of the sky by lasers! In the final very close match of Round 1, Ness and Fox were pitted against each other. Two very different franchises and characters… this led to a bunch of differing opinions. Fox scooted ahead in the last call and beat out little Ness. Finally, the last match up was a pairing of two of the Smash Bros. series' most unique surprises. Mega Man versus Shulk! What was more beloved? By three times the votes, the Blue Bomber beat out Shulk. Now Shulk's really feeling it… and 'it'… is disappointment.
