Good point on Samus being strong.

I'd say her last strong game is MP2, whose critical reception was at least as good as MP1 (to this day I can't decide which one is my favorite). But then MP3 was... lackluster, Other M was complete dumpster fire, Federation Force was insulting and Samus Returns... exists? Cool remake of a NES game nobody cares about, I guess.

Yet in contests, Samus is still here, being the unbreakable gate to the N9 top tier. She beat Mega Man with Red on the poll, man. The same Mega Man who had just beaten Zard with Zero on the poll. She gives no fucks.

I have Crono winning the runback against Cloud and then going all the way to Link. That's my anti-cookie big bet. I gotta say, Samus vs Crono scares me more than anything. It scares me more than Mario vs Crono, because at least that has the rivarly thing. I feel like Samus could just suit up and blow him up like the contest fad he could be. Zelda, Sephiroth, Snake, Tifa? GTFO, if you are not named Mario or Link, you are not passing through. There is a Nintendo hierarchy here and Samus holds the undisputable #3.
