I do not have any confidence in trying to predict a 2K4 match between these two, but clearly at this point people should be able to concede a 2K4 Samus victory is no longer something you can dismiss out of hand.

Sure you do because there's no reason to expect any matchup to flip over 10% from year to year without a significant release or factor specific to one of the characters to point to.

Let it be known I predicted this meeting within 1% too, if we're keeping score.

So youre just going to pretend 2K5 didnt have the biggest voterbase shift weve ever seen? Really?

You predicted it accurately with bad reasoning. Weve gone over that. Getting a prediction right lends more credence to ones reasoning, but in no way does it confirm it.

As Ive said, Mario gained at least 4 points in base strength relative to Samus from 2k4 to 2k5. And I also believe SFF powers will tend to increase with relative strength.

Also I think SFF is sensitive, and the 2K4 base couldve had different SFF dynamics than the 2K5 base. Mario team was on roids in 2k5. Mario just seemed straight stronger than Samus that year.

I am definitely not saying Samus would win in 2k4. Im saying its silly to act like its a 100% lock at this point. And I dont think this should be a controversial statement.
