We have seen Santa Claus in the contest though. Why not more?

Actually I don't think Cloud will get boosted more. I want to see how the rest will do, like Tifa, Sephiroth and Vincent.

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@red_sox_777 It will never happen. As Ulti said in his analysis when people tried to rally for characters in this contest most people there said Gamefaqs still exist? And it makes sense. So we can go only down from here on.

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Okay. Maybe Black Turtle or someone then? Because I don't remember this Kira guy to tell the truth.

Hey TC can you answer my question too???

The one that has a character that isn't a robot.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

It had mini games yeah.

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@Nanis23 I thought you did that? Or you posted another???

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Who first posted the rallies for Tifa in Hentai? I want that info for my analysis if possible.

Loser Bracket Final

Zelda VS Cloud
Cloud(51.06%) defeated Zelda(48.94%)

So Cloud edged Mario and here is facing Zelda. Zelda beat barely Mario too and did well on Link so that means that these 2 were equal. So for around 12 hours Zelda was winning and after that Cloud went ahead and he won easily.

I once again didn't expected that. These 2 both faced Link and they both got owned so it didn't really matter who would face him again. Plus Zelda has a bandwagon and rallies and such so I thought she would win. But no. Cloud did it again. So once again he reached the final match. I still don't believe that Cloud managed to beat both Mario and Zelda to reach the final match.

But this match prooves that Zelda is now top tier and can beat half of the NN no problem. Man if another contest comes and we have another Zelda game she can be the 2nd strongest character in the bracket for sure. But I have to say I gotta hand it to Cloud. Defied expectations and reached another final too! Come on please, FF 7 remake! Or KH 3 boost! Or something!

Also I don't believe that Cloud is still the Number 2 guy even thouth the matches say otherwise. I believe that Samus beats him for sure and maybe even Snake strangely enough. Also Smash makes everyone hyper strong. It is scary to see how much power this game gives!

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Eh it works for me.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Okay I see.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

I propose that if we ever have this I want to nominate a character!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@ZeldaTPLink The problem is that the old games are good yeah, but come on now, the modern games are more fun to play. Let us be real here.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

It snows in all states in USA eh? But only in tall mountains or like everywhere?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

True that. This is nice actually.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Mushrooms probably.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

From the Final 16 only 1 character was after 2000. Yeah.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

True that. Nintendo is beloved everywhere. I wonder if FF 7 remake comes, will it make the characters stronger?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

I would like to see again

1 VS 1
24 hour matches
Multiple matches per day
Losers Bracket

What I would like to see changed

No difference in anonymous/registered votes
Better structure of Losers Bracket
Link to be a final bonus match that gives no points
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Cloud for me. He managed to reach the final both times. I am sure most people didn't expectedt hat.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@creativename Yeah thanks. Better than have another characters contest where Link wins or another Games contest where LTTP, Ocarina or BOTW wins.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Amazing topic. Now I would like to see the best victories and the worst losses on every NN ever but I know it is hard.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Smash is REALLY loved.
BOTW is the best game ever.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Came back from work, checked the results. This is what I have to say.

Final match=Cloud above 40%! Oh yeah.

Also I have said so many times that EVERY character that has appeared in a videogame should be eligible. It is the ONLY way to have interesting matches any more. Lincoln, Superman, Vegeta, Chuck Norris, John Cena and there is no limit.

I think we should however have them at a limit, I mean for example half characters in a bracket should be from videogames only and half should be from any video game ever, and have them in the 1st round at least to face each other.

This will make everything excited, because we will not know the power of these characters and they might even catch a rally!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

I agree. Do you believe that 1st match Zelda is the same Zelda that faced Mario?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Best idea!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

3 days in a row Cloud matches. Fun.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Sleep bump.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Yeah I didn't mentioned that because there were so many guests it would be impossible to post all of them. Also the Guests came 2nd place on predictions too!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Thanks to all the crew for all the analysis! I read all of them for all matches of course. So many years and you still do it! Nice! Of course there was an unofficial member too this time but he deservers big credits too!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

I am okay with fighting zombies now though.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@Lopen I am with you. But you forgot the DRONES!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Pretty sure Vivi beats Auron and Aeris and maybe even Squall and Sephiroth now.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Lopen I always read your analysis! But man this one is the craziest of them all!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

KH i say.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Mario VS Sonic=Classic rivalry

Crono VS Sephiroth=It hasn't happened before, so why not?

Bowser VS Ganon=Strongest villain(they both beat Sephiroth now I believe)

Zelda VS Samus=Strongest Female

Cloud VS Snake=Strongest Non Nintendo character

These are the ones I think are interesting. What do you believe?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@DrYuya Don't agree. When people think of JRPG's they mostly think of crazy hair and huge swords. And Cloud has both. Plus FF 7 is the most famous of the FF games too. Why you think he got in Smash instead of someone else?

Loser Bracket Semifinal

Cloud VS Mario
Cloud(50.24%) defeated Mario(49.76%)

This result I didn't expected. Cloud has fallen from the early contests and Mario has constantly new games. Plus Odyssey came last year and it is considered perhaps the best Mario game. Plus the new Smash game is out. So I thought that Mario would win with at least 53% here. But Cloud did it!

These 2 have fought in the first ever contest where Mario won because he had a HUGE rally(big for how things were back then of course) and a new Mario game the same day that they fought! And he barely won back there too! Also he beat Crono in a controversial match too and from back then he became the villain of the contest. The contest only, not in games obviously. But after he beat Samus 2 times in this contest and in the 2nd time with the last update it seems most people wanted him to lose rom the board at least. And he did lose!

So for the actual match. Mario was winning from the start of course. But Cloud was always right behind him. Mario lead was around 310 votes and then Cloud started cutting but Mario begun gaining and his lead maxed out at 335. But Cloud started cutting and cutting but after a while Mario started gaining again. He is a fighter! The Cloud got serious and started cutting and eventually after almost 20 hours he went ahead and started pulling. Mario tried to cut, but the best he could do is stall. So eventually Cloud managed to won. Mario clutch didn't saved the day!

So yeah Cloud took revenge after 16 years! I know his power comes from Smash now but I don't care. He still has it! I think there was a rally for Cloud too though, because he did much better with anonymous votes than the registered ones. Still nice to see someone non Nintendo win you know. FF7 man! Still has power! If only we FF 7 remake, or KH 3! If the FF 7 cast is in there at least.

Came back from work, checked the results. This is what I have to say.

Match=Cloud is here AND winning? Huh?

Chibi Cloud is the best Cloud!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@trogita Cloud started as a beast. Don't forget this site became famous of a FF 7 guide. For the first years FF 7 dominated here. Yeah Cloud lost to Mario in the 1st contest BUT Mario had a new game the day that match came out and there was a rally for him too(yeah rallies were always in the contests).
The next year Sephiroth which was Number 3 back then defeated Mario with 61%! Think about that! Cloud would have doubled him no doubt.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Don't remember that! Nice!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

People are hardcore about the contest! Even back then!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Another match where the crew doesn't know who 1 of the finalists are!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

I have played all other main titles. How this stand up to the previous games? Is there a job system or stuff like that?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Beat the thief Cloud! Beat him!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Cloud ahead!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Mario? 40% on Link? Yeah sure. The only one that might do it is Cloud if he reaches there at least.

Finals Bracket Final

Link VS Zelda
Link(63.56%) defeated Zelda(36.44%)

This is it. The Final match. Of course Link would win. But look at his opponent. Zelda. Around 1.6% had her reaching the final. Seriously. Obviously nobody from the board expected to reach that far. She was strong always yeah. But beating so many NNers? Yeah sure. But she did it. Call it bandwagon, rallies, whatever. She reached the final match. That is something that barely anyone else has done. How many characters have reached the final match on 1 VS 1 contest before this one? Link, Mario, Cloud, Sephiroth. And that is all.

Now we have Zelda. Without huge rallies too! Amazing! If you want further proof that the LOZ games dominate here look at this match! Seriously! 2 characters from the same series, the lead pair too!

Now for the actual match. This was exciting for the first 10 minutes that Zelda was winning. Not even when Cloud beat Link did that! He was losing at the start! After that Link went ahead and never looked back. Also a negative record for Zelda too. She fell from the 5 minute mark to the end 17% which I believe is the highest drop. I think so at least. So Link won. And nobody even broke 40% on him!

But no matter what Zelda is the star of the contest no doubt. NOBODY can deny that. She did amazing. Hope in the next contest we have an amazing run from someone else or something like that. Always nice to see these things.
