the results of the individual round of 16 in the overview

round of 16

1. Bowser (Super Mario) - 87%, 2436 votes
2. M. bison (Street Fighter) - 13%, 370 votes

An unequal duel: The toad king hammered the Street Fighter-Recken with over 2000 (!) Voices so much in the dust that we were almost sorry for it. While M. Bison has to go home with wound, Bowser goes to the quarter -finals as one of the very big favorites.

round of 16

1. Handsome Jack (Borderlands) - 52%, 1352 votes
2. Glados (portal) - 48%, 1224 votes

The decision in the second round of 16 was significantly scarce, in which it was a long time between Glados and Handsome Jack for a long time. But even though Glados promised her opponent on the home straight a cake several times if he had it passed by, the Borderlands fiesling narrowly won.

round of 16

1. Lady DimitRescu (Resident Evil 8) - 55%, 1461 votes
2. The Boss (Metal Gear Solid ) - 45%, 1211 votes

The last two remaining women met in the third round of 16 and fought an exciting exchange of blows, in which it was not clear at the beginning how it would go out. In the end, the Resident Evil-Lady used its vampire skills to make the Boss decisively pulling away and now meets Bowser.

round of 16

1. Pyramid Head (Silent Hill) - 59%, 1530 votes
2. Andrew Ryan (Bioshock) - 41%, 1055 votes

Even if the result of this duel looks quite scarce, the fiesling gave his bioshock-encouragement from Rapture with the striking skull. Ryan kept trying to get his opponents, but ultimately the Pyramid Head took first place from the start to the end of the voting phase.

round of 16

1. Joker (Batman: Arkham) - 79%, 2136 votes

2. David (The Last of Us) - 21%, 567 votes

Already in the preliminary round, the Joker had brought in a very good result and also confirmed this directly in the round of 16, in which he did not give an opposite of David from The Last of Us a chance. The grin view impressively underpins its ambitions as one of the favorites of the villain World Cup.

round of 16

1. Ganondorf (Zelda) - 55%, 1479 votes
2. Vaas Montenegro (Far Cry) - 45%, 1220 votes

In the group phase, Ganondorf was still able to prevail without problems, with Vaas Montenegro the witch champion had significantly more difficulties and had to be insulted by his adversary, among other things, throughout the duel. In the end, however, Ganondorf collected more than 250 votes and sends Vaas back to his island.

round of 16 7

1. Baldur (God of War) - 54 %, 1430 votes
2. Team Rocket (Pokémon) - 46%, 1241 votes

A lot could be expected from Baldur, after all, he not only created first place with Kratos, but also took first place in the preliminary round in "Death Group" 7. And even in the round of 16 against the well -placed Team Rocket, Baldur was able to prevail in the end, but still confidently. He now has to prove good nerves in the quarterfinals against co -favorite Joker.

round of 16 8

1. The wild hunt (Witcher) - 59%, 1590 votes
2. Micah Bell (Red Dead Redemption) - 41%, 1088 votes

Micah Bell, one of the antagonists from Red Dead Redemption 2, is a real nasty guy who did not have a place in our World Cup for nothing and who also had many advocates in the comments. But against the undead riders of the wild hunt, Micah ultimately had no chance and has to delete the sail after the round of 16, while the wild hunt is now dealing with witch champion Ganondorf.
