The second annual Who Would Win Week bracket is here – and the competition is fiercer than ever. Last year, Yuri Katsuki skated her way to a surprise victory over fierce competitors like Kirby, Pikachu and Waluigi. This year we have chosen four completely new categories with an entirely new line-up of participants.
What exactly do we measure? What are these characters fighting/over/over? We’ll just say it’s all about vibes. Follow your heart.
The vote will take place via Twitter, which begins at 11 a.m. EDT each day this week and ends at 9 a.m. EDT the following day. Without further ado, check out the full list of competitors – which will be updated as soon as they are eliminated! – and go vote.
