Mario team was on roids that year, Also you're the only one I've seen in this topic try to limit the Nintendo boost to Mario. Makes no sense that it would just be Mario. Results don't support it either. Even if you try and exempt Samus at minimum Ganondorf looks monstrous in 05 compared to 04, as does Kirby. And there are other historically Nintendo linked guys like Sonic who also look better in 05. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 12/04/18 8:28:13 PM #163 | creativename posted... I honestly thought this result would bury this Mario/Samus stuff forever. Why would it? The absurdity of Mario/Samus being close in 04 was based on an entirely different voting ecosystem. 04 was a year where Link blasted Ganon down to 12%. SFF having less effects this year is not weird. For any amount of strength difference you could call for in Mario/Samus you could also say Mario's less likely to SFF her super hard this year too. If anything this year proves without a shadow of a doubt (through Seph/Tifa or Mario/Samus) that rSFF exists, which throws out the primary defense of Mario beating Samus which was "Mario would not have been able to SFF her if he was weaker" The only one who it shuts down was Ulti with his "Samus could never have beaten Mario ever" nonsense. --- No problem!

Really? 2k5 has no reason to disproportionately favor Mario over Samus to that degree. Period. They're on the same boat. I mean you can feel better about the match after seeing yesterday all you want but frankly you really shouldn't. There weren't enough data points in 04 to really feel that confident about a 10% shift. Reasons that the match would be closer this year simply didn't exist then regardless of how you feel about their relative strength in 05 or 04. As I said this year them being close wasn't really that shocking. I called both meetings correctly and still deny it would be that close in 04. It's simply a null tell. Too much is different now. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 12/04/18 6:04:34 PM #55 | creativename posted... But a 51.6ish% victory can clearly be flipped depending on year. Youd be in denial to not accept that. Like if you're going to ask me could Samus/Mario have been Samus's victory in 2017 or 2019 (or even next week)? Absolutely. But 2005 was not the year of a 51.6% victory. 2005 was the year of a 60% victory. A match flipping on its head by that much in the span of one year with no specific reason to attribute to it, I don't accept as very plausible or likely. --- No problem!

I do not have any confidence in trying to predict a 2K4 match between these two, but clearly at this point people should be able to concede a 2K4 Samus victory is no longer something you can dismiss out of hand. Sure you do because there's no reason to expect any matchup to flip over 10% from year to year without a significant release or factor specific to one of the characters to point to. Let it be known I predicted this meeting within 1% too, if we're keeping score. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 12/04/18 5:44:29 PM #293 | Yeah exactly. Basically my feeling is like As a horror movie Alien is top tier As an action movie Aliens is quite good, but not like, amazing or anything. However, generally speaking I like action a lot more than horror, ergo I like Aliens more. But I feel like objectively Alien is probably better at what it's trying to do. Although I will say some of the improvements Aliens makes to the formula could have been backtracked to Alien and made it better. Like comparing the movies it's definitely not all genre specific or anything. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 12/04/18 5:22:41 PM #291 | I can respect Alien > Aliens. Aliens has better pacing and action, and better character interactions, but Alien is the more unique film experience by a lot and stands out among its peers a bit more (largely due to less competition, to be fair), which does mean something. I'm in the Aliens squad myself but Alien does a lot of things well and in some ways I would call it the movie of the two that is more "essential viewing" despite preferring Aliens, just because you can kinda get "Aliens but better" from a lot of movies imo while Alien to me would be the quintessential suspense driven film. --- No problem!

| Lopen 12/04/18 4:53:11 PM #33 | You're using a SFF match to get her expected percentage on Mario which isn't necessarily going to be reliable. Although the intuitive approach would be that Seph is indirectly stronger than Tifa which only helps Samus's case more measuring that way since Mario would ve expected to win outright if Seph > Tifa. But yeah I wouldn't say "she's slightly weaker" is a given. Unfortunately we get Tifa/Samus 2 instead of Tifa vs Mario or Seph vs Samus which would really clear everything up but yeah --- No problem!

| Lopen 12/04/18 3:47:46 PM #29 | I think this year had more signs for Samus doing well in Tifa and Zelda going crazy. Hell Chun Li too. The Girl Power sugoi~ factor is real. Samus's fame in 04 was basically dispatching Sonic easily and putting a up a good number on Cloud. Sonic projected as weak that year through Ryu though. The STATS said Samus blows Mario up in 04, a stats humiliation which stats purists have pinned on 05 Mario seemingly being stronger than 04 Mario, but I feel like Samus 18 is stronger than 04 or 05 Samus anyway. --- No problem!

| Lopen 12/04/18 2:57:02 PM #17 | I'd give Pika way higher than 1 in 10000 of being stronger than Zelda. Way I see it currently: 1. Link -tier- 2. Mario 3. Samus 4. Cloud -tier- 5. Pikachu 6. Mega Man 7. Zelda 8. Snake -tier- 9. Sephiroth 10. Tifa Crono Sonic Luigi MMX Bowser Kirby Alucard Ganondorf Zero Yoshi A bunch of other dudes So really the idea of a noble nine doesn't fit right now. If I had to shoehorn someone into the top 9 I'd probably wedge Sephiroth or Crono in but both feel too weak to really be on a higher tier than most of the upper carders we have. They both seem really beatable. Heck I still feel like Kirby is probably a better fit than those two, Bowser beating him be damned. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

If you minimalist clear everything you can play like one or two days a week, afk everything else, and still have a viable team since the game gives you so many stamina refreshes. You can go hardcore grindy on a lot of events, like the current one, but there's really not a ton of incentive to.

Half the time rallies/cheating/whatever looks like that because they are both supposed to fall of the cliff due to lowered vote intakes and only one ends up falling because they're artificially being lifted in some way.

To me this is a bunch of my theories lining up vs "dude I don't know this contest at all I'll just go with the flow here" and well, if I was one to give up on things cause I don't know I would've quit these things long ago to save face because I obviously don't know this contest at all. Let's explain why Sonic will win. - Snake overperformed vs Auron cause of the infamous FF/MGS SFF. I thought it was mostly PS Era FF but FFX getting some of it wouldn't be surprising. This makes Sonic appear weaker than he should be. - Sonic will HIERARCHY Zelda here even if he's indirectly a bit weaker as a respected figure in the Nintendo community. These two combine and it means Sonic will squeak out a close win. And with this, I've guaranteed Sonic won't win. Sorry Sonic :( SONIC SPEED with 52.85% Samus v Mario When Seph/Tifa started I was ready to just put "GIRL POWER SUGOI~" and have Samus win with 53% and call it a day. Now I do think "GIRL POWER SUGOI~" exists but I'm less convinced it's enough to flip anything here. Mario beat Samus by more than Sephiroth had beaten Tifa and Tifa ultimately didn't win by much in the end as Seph did huge damage control after the opening bit, so while I expect Samus to make it much closer this time around, I don't think she can quite win outright.
