Frog vs. Magus... who's stronger between the two of them?

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.

Sorry Lopen, but I've got to side with creative here. Mario went from 47% on Crono to 54% between 2004 and 2005. That's a 7% swing without SFF. Add in SFF and I think a 10% swing is possible. Samus beating Mario in 2004 seems very plausible, if you assume Samus didn't gain much between '04 and '05.

I do agree, however, that Samus could have been stronger than Mario in 2005 (more specifically, equal to what her 2006 match against Snake suggested). Certain matches you pointed out make your theory compelling.
