Remember last year when we were excited for this?
Duke wins hands down. It's just one of those iconic songs that make VGCW what it is. It also helps that Seifer isn't a regular wrestler, and his/the Disciplinary Committee's theme is more suited to drama or fighting than making an entrance.

Waluigi vs Ganondorf is frankly the kind of tough decision making I didn't expect to come up until we were in the top 16 or so. It's a really close match-up with two iconic characters and iconic themes. Both themes get an INSTANT reaction from the first few moments, whether it's the chat erupting in a chorus of "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHS", or a chorus of "OH SHIT" (often followed by "ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN", please come someday Bikerdorf) Both themes are super fitting to the characters and the role they play on the show.

I'm going to give the edge to Waluigi here. The extra voice clip at the beginning adds a TON to it, and it stays great pretty much the whole way through. On the other hand, Ganondorf's theme falls off a bit after the opening sting, and the theme generally wears out it's welcome by the time he's done lumbering to the ring.

I would vote for Ganon, but the whole '1000 Years of Entrance' thing makes it lose points in my eyes because it's not really that interesting of a song, and hearing it for three minutes straight makes it even more boring. Too bad Ganon, but I'm voting for Waluigi Time.

Oh, right. There's another match up as well...but do I even have to say I'm voting for Duke?

Yeah, I'm a fan.
Duke and Ganondorf.

Ganon gets the same reason as Bowser: the theme signals the coming of a king.

While I actually like Seifer's song more, I'm voting for Duke because it works better as entrance theme (and Seifer doesn't entrance much anyway).

As for the Waluigi/Ganon, Ganon definitely, no offense to Waluigi but I'll always love the feeling of SHIT GETS REAL when you hear the Dun Dun Dun with the pyro and you imagine the opponent mulling over their life choices as he approaches with the rest of the song flowing.

Echoing this. When Duke and Ganondorf's themes come on, you know that whoever's facing them is in for one hell of a fight. Both are iconic as hell and while I like Waluigi's theme, Ganondorf just has that perfect intimidating factor that just cements the monster aura he so loves to cultivate.

I didn't even know Seifer had a theme. Duke gets my vote.

Ganon over Waluigi. Ganon's theme has that menace that is so fitting for his character.

Even if Seifer wasn't an outside choice, Duke's intro is perfect for him as a character and as a wrestler so I'll vote Duke.

With Ganon vs Waluigi, they're very different intros that invoke very different reactions. While I always love screaming WAAAAAAAAH when we see the lucky charmer show up, I'll always have an "OH SHIT" reaction to that initial DUN DUN DUUUUN of Ganon's theme. I'll never be able to hear that theme again in my life without the knowledge that shit just got very fucking real. I'll vote for Ganondorf.

Duke has an alright theme, nothing special in my eyes, but I believe Seifer has entered to his own theme a total of one times, and I don't actually remember if that entrance happened (P.R.A.T.S. vs. Disciplinary Committee, E.G. 7). Duke wins this round by basis of beating Seifer, but he sure as hell is not beating Break Man next round.

Ganon and Waluigi has a tight bout going. On one hand, Waluigi's theme has that fantastic sound bite combined with one of the strangest themes in the league, which suits Waluigi very well. However, on the other hand, Ganon's theme fits his entrance very well, and is just a good song that does what it aims to do, which is create a presence. Something interesting to note is that neither Ganondorf nor Waluigi have ever had a theme change in VGCW, despite both being around from Day 1. I think at the end of the day, it comes down to the fact that when both themes hit, only one of them is actually getting me excited for the match that's about to happen. Point to Ganondorf.

Seifer isn't even an actual wrestler so I'm giving the vote to Duke.

Waluigi and Ganon both have pretty recognizable stingers at the starts of their themes, but Ganon's DUN DUN DUN is probably the perfect OH SHIT IT'S REAL NOW stinger out of pretty much any theme in this tournament. I'll give the edge to Ganon.

Duke beats Vacant.

Waluigi because I've always liked Waluigi's Island as just a fun and stupid song, and it fits him very well. Ganondorf has the initial reaction going for him... and then he absolutely just dies insofar as anything interesting goes. It's not a good song, it's a nice rush followed by a pee break. And considering how often he's booked in advance, i.e. 'we know Ganon is gonna have a match', his theme's kick has kind of lost its edge. Ganon randomly being in multimans or when Luigi was trying to go on his upturn and then DUN DUN DUHHHHHHN? That was fantastic. But that's something lost to time, and as we all know, TOO BAD, WALUIGI TIME.

Duke and Waluigi. Ganon might have one of the best intros around but I associate it with him making an extremely long and boring entrance then proceeding to have shitty matches so Waluigi wins pretty easily.

NEVER BET ON DUKE. Except now. I'm betting on Duke.

As for Waa vs. Ganon... This is a really tough call for me. Both are iconic in their own ways, for reasons that have been mentioned much better than I could have put them.

I feel like I'm betraying myself as a Zelda fanboy, but my vote is for Waluigi. Not only does he have a voice clip with BitF memes, but I feel there would be alternatives to Final Battle With Ganon that might give the King of Evil a bit more impact.
