Was asked to break these ties. Gonna go ahead and do that.

Best Sidekick:

Antonio - This guy makes a decent sidekick, covering his sister's flaws and being there to help out when she screws up. However, there is something in me that kinda sees these two as equal partners rather than hero and sidekick.

Pearl - This is kinda the same deal as Antonio. However, I'd like to see more detail on how she makes a good sidekick for Smash. What does she contribute to the dynamic?

My Vote - This was an extremely close one, and I completely understand why a second tie had occured. I think both characters are fine, but I'm going with Antonio, not because I liked him more, but because he had a bit more information that helped me understand his role as a sidekick.

Best Group:

(Skull ignores the fact that Team Codex was made by his friends to avoid bias.)

My Vote - I kinda have to go with Dark Creature, if only because I feel like the backstory for Team Codex could have been explained a bit better. It kinda rushes over the event that caused the group to form. Whatever DID happen with that poisoning plot? Did the Codex put a stop to it?

(Don't hurt me, Starz and Minty. ;w;)
