I'd give Pika way higher than 1 in 10000 of being stronger than Zelda.
Way I see it currently:
1. Link -tier- 2. Mario 3. Samus 4. Cloud -tier- 5. Pikachu 6. Mega Man 7. Zelda 8. Snake -tier- 9. Sephiroth 10. Tifa Crono Sonic Luigi MMX Bowser Kirby Alucard Ganondorf Zero Yoshi A bunch of other dudes
So really the idea of a noble nine doesn't fit right now. If I had to shoehorn someone into the top 9 I'd probably wedge Sephiroth or Crono in but both feel too weak to really be on a higher tier than most of the upper carders we have. They both seem really beatable. Heck I still feel like Kirby is probably a better fit than those two, Bowser beating him be damned.
Crono is way too low
he would beat the likes of MM Pikachu and Sonic with ease ---
