Noble Nine bragging rights:

The Noble Nine members each have plenty to be proud about on their own. They have killer records and incredible legacies everywhere you turn. Here are a few of those cool legacies against outsiders:

Samus - She has the best record of any Noble Nine member with only one loss at 47-1, plus she was the last character in the Noble Nine to lose -- that being the 2013 championship against Draven.

Mario - He is the only other Noble Nine character who only has one loss at 37-1, and while Samus has the better record against outsiders he has notoriously defeated Samus every time they faced each other. This record also doesnt include the wins he would have earned if he was allowed in the main bracket for 2006.

Mega Man - He was 40-1 until yesterdays loss against Pikachu, now placing him at 40-2. Still, he was the only Noble Niner not to lose to an outsider in 2013s three-way madness which featured five new Noble Nine breakers.

Cloud - His record of 40-2 doesnt highlight the fact he was a former champion, nor does it include the matches he would have won if he was allowed in the main bracket for 2005 and 2006.

Link - He was 39-2 until yesterday, now tying him with Cloud and Mega Man at 40-2. This record doesnt highlight his six championships, nor does it include the matches he would have won if he was allowed in the main bracket for 2005 and 2006. His two losses were against L-Block in the most voted in poll of contest history and Draven in what was the most voted in poll of 2013 up to that point -- both polls having such vote totals due to incredible outside forces. In addition to his record noted above, his loss against Jay Solano in a special poll not featured on the front page of GameFAQs should be noted too.

Sephiroth - His record has the good fortune of occasional padding that the rest of Clinkeroth did not have. He was gifted the Villain Contest instead of being in 2005s main bracket, plus he was the only Noble Nine member to enter the main bracket in 2018s contest which is currently boosting his pre-2018 record from 42-3 to 46.3. Still, this record doesnt highlight his Villain Contest championship or the matches he would have won if he was included in the main bracket for 2006.

Crono - He gets crapped on a lot for breaking the Noble Nine first in four-ways, three-ways, half-day matches, and though I did not include the Rivalry Rumble Crono was still the first to lose in that if you insisted on pointing out (Solid Snake and) Liquid Snake > Crono (and Lavos). He also has the fewest wins of any Noble Nine member. That said, despite his record of just 35-3 pre-contest today becoming 36-3 today with his current victory over Bowser, Mega Mans loss to Pikachu yesterday means Crono is the character who has gone the longest time since his last loss to an outsider.

Solid Snake - He has faced the most outsiders, putting him at 51-4. This means he is tied both for the most losses suffered by a Noble Nine member as well as leading with the most victories for a Noble Nine member. Like Link, Snakes losses were against L-Block and Draven. The differences are that Snake did defeat L-Block in their first match-up in 2007 (despite Solid Shit) whereas Link did not and Snakes loss against Draven in the championship had more rallied votes than Links loss.

Sonic - His record is the lowest with four losses at 41-4, but in his defense Sonic avenges himself well. He is the only Noble Nine member to defeat two outsiders who defeated him before -- he avenged his losses against both Auron and Kirby in later matches. With his other two losses being against L-Block and Mewtwo, Sonic would be likely to win those rematches too if given the chance again.
