Mario > Zelda By 1940, they were so big that they made a point to make their comics a good deal less violent than they first were (even adding a hilarious editor's note in an early Batman comic book about how Batman would never take a human life, just an issue or two after Batman was killing bad guys left and right).

This is a long way to say that during the second half of the 1940s, when most other comic book company was feeling the pressure from the public to start doing educational comic books, National mostly just stuck with the educational filler material that it had been including in its comic books from the beginning (you know, a page of facts about, like, birds or whatever). In Sephirothâs case, Kirby is then able to use Sephirothâs moves Flare, Megaflare, and Gigaflare. Altair > Lucario Mario > X People thought a 2007 rerun was possible, so you can't fault anyone for picking Chief. Samus > Nightmare Dante got smoked by Sonic back in 2004, but given how this contest was playing out, who knows? I could see him damaging Dante somewhat that way, but Kirby figures to stand up much better against him, and if Sonic brings his A game for the second round in a row it'd be easy to see him stumble into the mid 30s.

I think there's potential here for an interesting result, but I've been forced to lower my hopes due to Sonic looking a little too good last around.

Then there was also a section by Simon and Kirby about imagining what the future might look like, and rather than actually being any sort of reasoned look at scientific trends or whatever, it was simply just a science fiction story set in the future (this eventually led to the introduction of a fictional character, Tommy Tomorrow, in the midst of a book called "Real Facts").... Then there was a three-page section that was mostly just, like, party tricks and/or logic problems, like how this kid could figure out which hand was covering the coin (do YOU have a guess? The match itself was a total dud, which was the other surprise here. I covered how bad Crono looked for years leading up to his big duel a couple matches ago, but it's worth noting that Sonic has looked just as bad.

Mega Man > Cube i don't have a great memory either! When you pair Sonic's bad track record with how this contest was playing out, people came into this match thinking an upset was possible. To be clear, I still think the Blue Blur is in for a major hurting versus last round due to not sticking out like a sore thumb, but he just did too well there to bet against him.
