Cloud, Mario, Samus, and maybe Zelda are too close to be put in a rigid hierarchy, IMO. Excepting the seeming strongest (Cloud) versus the apparent weakest (Zelda), any match between two of the four could go either way.

1. Link (obviously)

2. Cloud
2. Mario
2. Samus
2. Zelda

6. Snake

7. Crono

8. Mega Man
8. Sonic

10. Sephiroth (poor Sephy...)

(This is kinda random, but the image in your sig, Yuri, is a dead ringer for the Orphen opening.)

Would you really be shocked if Snake beat Cloud though?

I think that Samus match is really messing up peoples views of Snake. Especially as Samus might just be that damn strong, and only gets messed up by Mario.

I think Mario thrashing Samus in 2K5 caused people to underrate Samus in terms of the perception of her strength, since it was such an embarrassing and notorious defeat. I think you can see this in how continually surprised we are when Samus stomps other elites.

I think getting beat down by Samus is causing people to underrate Snake.
