(4)Pokemon Trainer Red vs (15)Corvo Attano vs (24)Sissel 2013

Ulti's Analysis
This match proved two things, the first of which is very obvious. Red is a BEAST. A lot of people, myself included, doubted him after the 2010 performance. We were idiots. I don't care how weak your competition is, if you break 70% in a multi-way poll, you're a strong character.

The other thing is that 243 characters was waaaaaaay too many. Forget last place, our second place character in this poll scored 4854 votes.

For reference, Adventure scored 4686 votes against The Legend of Zelda in 2004, and that record for futility stood for a long time. Now? You can be comparable to that and get second place. So bad. I know round 1 has always been for weeding out fodder trash, but this year was especially awful with it.
