(6)Raiden vs (13)Waluigi vs (22)Alan Wake 2013

The only entertaining part of this match was the picture, because once giant-ass purple Waluigi stuck out like a sore thumb, the debate went from whether Waluigi or Alan Wake would get second place to whether Waluigi could actually upset Raiden for first.

As it would turn out, there never should have been a debate on either front. Waluigi got some joke votes early, and I'm sure 4chan got involved in some way, but it was a completely negligible boost. It wasn't long at all before Raiden put this match out of reach, and Waluigi was never going to be threatened for second place because no one cares about Alan Wake.

A running joke of this contest is GameFAQs not playing any games after like 2006, and it held true more often than not when it came to weeding out 162 characters from round 1.
