Red seemed that way because he was fighting tired opponents.
He was pretty sharp against Arino when they were both fresh (IIRC), and it's not like Dan of all people would take much effort to beat. Red held his own against Arino then stomped Dracula.

Seeeeeee, see, see, that's what the rankings are there for: to snap you out of that haze of bias surrounding certain characters. The truth is staring you right in the face and you won't admit to it. Loss after loss is handwaved away as every opponent being on top of their game and won't you cut him some slack, and one lone win in a morass of losses is held up as proof the guy is still great shakes.

It's not that he won so much as he pretty much hit all the things that marked his glory days, like the Blood Red power-up, he could afford five high-flying botches and still win easily, etc. The how matters.

But yeah, he has been losing quite a bit lately. Some could say, for example, that AVGN is top-tier and Airman has Red's number, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been losing. Even if he can be his old self in very specific match-ups, the fact that he can't be that way against everyone is a big step down.

Thanks Commander! You mentioned that all the #1 Contenders had been named but I can't recall Waluigi's at all

Also, can anyone tell me how the power-ratings are calculated, I'm quite interested in the behind-the-scenes

So So
"Pretty much everyone is within 10 points of each other, and the names to be found are ridiculous: Bowser, Segata, Wario, Arino, Kefka, Haggar, and so on. It's the most dangerous time to be in the middle of the pack, with so many highly accomplished wrestlers looking to make their way back into the title scene. I'd watch my back if I were Barret."

Not a bit nervous.

Great write-up of the way events are headed into Endgame 7! Looking forward to Scorp's match.

Fuck you Illidan I am so utterly prepared.

We're going to need video evidence of this, should it happen. Wouldn't want to be like a certain feller what failed to eat the glass, now would you.

I'm so happy I got to make a YOUNGU BUCKSU reference while it's still cool.
