Sonic probably beats Tifa but not by a lot. Tifa > Auron by at least a bit so there isn't a lot of breathing room

But this Samus is stronger than the one from a week ago I don't think extrapolating through Snake is going to be kind to anyone

Yeah I think this Zelda is like, kinda significantly stronger than the one that beat Snake. From Smash and also just bandwagon momentum. Samus will get the former as well so I think this one will be less close than it should be had Snake met Samus first. Rooting for Snake though

Lopen's Unofficial Analysisx2

Mega Man v Crono
The intuitive way for most people, as official analysts will tell you, is comparing Bowser and Yoshi who is stronger. Me I don't even want to speculate on that. You're trying to gauge who is stronger on the totem pole between two Mario guys where we've literally seen Yoshi > Luigi > Bowser > Yoshi go on. Also Yoshi is being measured through an SFF match-- one where I don't feel Yoshi looking slightly better coming out of is out of the question. Reading through Alucard or Bowser is shaky too as they've both shown signs that they've moved significantly.

Anyway so the intuitive way to me is to just go through the direct route. Unless we accept Link is a supreme fighting god, I remember time and time again the Mario/Mega Man/Crono block getting or being projected at around 37-39% on Link. So to me, when Cloud only gets that himself a match that should have no fishiness to it, that means he's fallen to their level.

And you say "but Lopen Crono was beaten with 56%" well sure. Crono's fallen further. Mega Man vs Cloud baby this is where the hype is!

Mega Man with 55.77%

Samus v Snake
I think War had it right when he said Smash favorites are getting a temporary power up and that's at least partially why Zelda is beating Mario today. Samus is one of the original 8 in Ultimate (and did quite well on the favorite of the original 12 poll) and while Snake in Brawl had some amount of hype Samus is the one more closely tied to Smash Bros. So the beast Mocking Samus (a Samus is some sort of space animal) will win this one despite it being Snake's match to lose measuring through Zelda. Not unlike 12 years ago.

Samus with 53.84%

So yeah officially I think, if Zelda faces Samus, Samus will take her out.

But I also think Zelda has the best chance of actually beating Link of Zelda/Mario/Samus.

It's a complicated web, man.

Kinda torn because I really want to see Zelda vs Link but it's also such a sad sad reflection on the site for that to even happen from opposite sides of the bracket.

Even before this match I was feeling okay about Samus flipping the Mario result due to the Smash release, so that's where I stand on things.


I think that's right btw. I was going to use that as support for Samus beating Mario in the rematch, myself. Zelda gaining a bit from it too isn't too weird to think about even if Sheik is by far more popular in it.

Might also explain why characters like Squall, Auron, Dante, and Charizard are so much weaker now.


Putting aside the meat of your point a second I'm not convinced Auron and Dante are weaker. I think their peers just got stronger and left them behind. Aside from that Chun Li match (which feels like an anomaly more than anything) Ganondorf looked fine and seeing Zelda beast as she is I'd imagine he just got stronger. Auron on the other hand looked pretty much on par aside from the Geralt match

Lopen's Unofficial Analysis x1

Honestly the possibility of a Zelda upset here is real. We're seeing what Link is doing to Cloud here. High 50s on Tifa in this environment probably isn't super impressive after all. Snake being stronger than Samus isn't totally out of the question, so a narrow win over Snake might make her on Samus's level.

But I prefer to ignore that result, just look at Mario vs Samus, and intuitively just think Samus is probably still slightly above Zelda's paygrade and leave it at that. For as poor as Samus has historically been in SFF situations, Zelda has been no better really. So while I expect Zelda to hold up fine because signs are she will based on how she's been doing and Mario vs Samus, I don't expect her to be a threat to win. If you want to upset Mario go with Samus on the runback.

Mario with 54.04%

Hell yeah Morgana is awesome too. Possibly my favorite design.

Honestly the further we go the more I expect this rating to be pretty close to my own, with most divergence being due to me actually having played the game and taking their gameplay into account a bit more. Like as an example Aatrox I hate almost entirely because his gameplay is degenerate. His design is... fine. Probably not second tier worthy but not too far off that

The site admin giving a damn and putting some earnest attempts into making this site relevant again could do it. I'd imagine if vote totals got back up to the stuff of the mid 00s the sheer amount of new users could really spin the results in a new exciting way (or if the poll was on every page on the site since the claim is this site is "just as popular as ever people just don't visit the home page!"), but that's even less likely than a FFVII remake magically making Cloud relevant again.

I feel like vote gauntlets could potentially be a really useful mode in terms of market research and stuff and if the winner actually mattered. Not really sure what they're getting out of it when it's a bunch of 5* FEH original heroes with most people just picking whichever of the 8 they own since they're all 5* exclusive.

And they're certainly not fun in any case. So who needs em.

To elaborate on what I mean a bit Ava thinks she can pass as a human to everyone based on a sample size of the one dude she convinced, and has also, despite having next to no real world experience, or even much knowledge given that the programmer guy had intentionally kept her from accessing knowledge bases, thinks that she would have no problems to work through that didn't involve someone exposing her as a robot, even though they've been shown to be very humanlike in durability.

To me leaving for dead the guy who was helping her seems less of a cold calculating logic kinda thing and more of an impulsive, human kind of move. Like, a human without morals or empathy, but you know, not a particularly well thought out move. Which I dunno maybe that was beside the point but that was just the cherry on top of a lot of her actions that irritated me as seeming a bit too human for their own good because they served to drive the plot in the proper way.

Snake/Sonic changed your mind?


You can confirm there isn't SFF tainting the mix in Zelda/Sonic much so it does help quite a lot.

Keep in mind I had them all on the same tier anyway. I'd still have them there but Cloud is in the middle of it and Snake/Zelda are at the top. Mega and Pika beating Cloud wouldn't surprise me a ton at this point.
