Only that it doesn't work that way. If I made a thread asking who's the more powerful character between Link and Mario with some people saying Link and some others Mario and I, the OP, decided that it was Mario, it still wouldn't Mario the character the stronger one. It would be my opinion and nothing more.

If the thread was "convince me /help me decide which console to buy" and then people convinced me to buy a 3ds over a vita, then that would a victory, because the point would be the OP's decision. With this thread, there cannot be a clear winner, especially when all Ninty fans do is praise all the ninty characters while ignoring the abilities of Sony characters and vice versa. The bias is beyond obvious from both sides and so is ignorance (mine included). It's highly unlikely that someone has played as all the characters from each roster to form a well-balanced opinion.

Also just because more Ninty fans have posted here, it doesn't mean smash won.

Lastly, I disagree with the whole theory of let's use the most amazing ability that one character once used and ignore their avergae skills. The way I see sackboy (from LBP), he'd be useless in most fights, yet he has one ability that can destroy everyone instantly. I don't think it's fair to consider that ability as standard in a fight. Same with pikachu. Would I substitute Kratos with Pikachu and feel that I can beat everyone in a god of war game? Would I feel safer or more in danger using Dante in a zelda game over link? 

Your sackboy argument was probably the best the PSAS side had to offer actually, but it takes time to charge up, and all SSB would have to do to win is have the Mario cast each equip a Starman and charge at them. It's not that Nintendo characters are "better" or even better fighters, it's that Nintendo makes them broken, and Sony usually doesn't. I actually like Sony characters a lot. I wanted a Playstation Smash Bros. the moment I knew what Smash Bros. was. Doesn't change the fact that Nintendo just gave all their characters easily accessible insta-win abilities. There's a reason people are complaining that their games are too easy nowadays.

The reason I brought up sackboy was to show how overpowered some abilities can be that are in no way an indication of a character's average abilities. And by that I mean the abilities he or she has for the majority of time. When I played Kirby games, I didn't feel like I could just stand there, suck everyting and win every level. I had to dodge, I could easily get hurt; there was a struggle and no feeling of being overpowered. That's the real power of Kirby for me. So the way I see  it, Sackboy is by far the easiest character to beat. Useless as a magicarp.
