If the Fates were kind, we would have been able to put this latest match-up to the test in Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii. However, we’re going to leave it up to the people on this one- the Mega Buster versus the Power Suit., the Blue Bomber versus the Chosen One of the Chozo- that’s right, it’s Mega Man versus Samus Aran, and you get to decide the winner after the jump!

When I first got satellite TV, one of the stations I found was called Trio. Trio was a station that thrived on reruns, but not the same shows that most other stations showed… instead, their pool of shows tended to skew more towards the cultural or kitschy side of things. It was a great channel, and they had a block called "Brilliant But Cancelled", which ran episodes of shows that were on the air for extremely brief periods of time.
