Dr. Eggman: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

'''Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik''' is the main antagonist of Sega's ''Sonic the Hedeghog'' video game series. He is one of the few video game characters to have competed in both /co/ and /v/ tournaments.

Robotnik is a regular contestant at [[Mr. /co/lympus tournaments]], having appeared in all editions to date, but has never advanced beyond the second round. He was entered into [[Mr. /co/lympus 2018]] because of his appearances in the ''Archie Comics'' series, and in several animated shows such as ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' (1993) and ''Sonic Boom'' (2014). As a result, he is grandfathered in the tournament despite his video game origins, while his archenemies such as [[Sonic]] and [[Tails]] cannot be entered anymore.

The mad scientist also competes in [[King of /v/]], a character tournament similar to /co/ (and has been hosted by /co/ tournament organizers at several points). Compared to /co/lympus, he is a much stronger competitor in the /v/ contests. He ~~lost~~ to ''Devil May Cry'''s [[Dante]] in round 3 ~~of the [[King of /v/ 2019|2019 edition]]~~. Robotnik faced Dante again on round 4 of the [[King of /v/ 2020|2020 contest]], who became the #1 seed because of ''Devil May Cry 5'' hype; despite his opponent's recency boost he very nearly pulled off a spectacular upset but fell short by 2 votes (one to tie and another to break it). Dante would go on to become that year's champion.

Robotnik will next be eligible for nomination on both [[Mr. /co/lympus 2021]] and [[King of /v/ 2021]].
