PostContestUlti 12/10/20 11:19:48 PM #150:	Contest Semifinal: Link, Mario, Samus, and Crono Link - 50315 [38.45%] Mario - 25594 [19.56%] Samus - 21871 [16.71%] Crono - 33087 [25.28%] Total Votes - 130867 Most of the excitement was gone by this point of the contest (or so we thought), because the rest of it seemed so predictable. The final eight characters were the Noble Nine minus Mega Man and Sonic, with Kirby as the random newcomer to this late stage. The first of the two semifinal matches was incredibly boring and predictable the second it got set up, and really whoever got here in Crono's place was basically guaranteed a spot in the finals. Link was a given for first, we all knew that already. Samus was a given for last, though her getting SFFd twice should not take away from her run at all. Mario was pretty much a given for third, depending on the fourth character. We <i>almost</i> had Zack in this spot over Mario, which would have been legendary and shaken things up, but it was not to be. As for that fourth spot, most people picked Vincent, and he would have waltzed to the final here. Some picked L-Block. The really smart people picked Crono. Crono wouldn't have gotten here without a rally and probably wasn't <i>actually</i> stronger than Vincent in 2008, but so what? He deserved that shit after everything he's been through. And when he got here, his oldest enemy was waiting. But this time, Crono brought friends. He may struggle against Mario alone, but with Link and Samus here helping him? Cakewalk. Samus was happy to step aside, take last place, and do it all while leeching Mario's support. Link acted like Sephiroth in the Smash Ultimate reveal and skewered Mario('s overalls) like a fish. This tag team heel turn Nintendo leeching action allowed Crono to get the easiest win over Mario he'll ever have. This was never in doubt, nor should it have been. It was Crono's time to finally make it into the finals of a contest, and nothing was stopping him. Not L-Block, not Vincent, not Mario, nothing. And no the 2005 run with the three strongest characters removed from the field does not count. This was the first <i>actual</i> contest final Crono made. It should have happened back in 2002, but better late than never. --- https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page <cite>PostContestUlti posted [p:948182969] in ~*Ultimate...
