Also, if Link gets 50%, X gets 27%, and Ryu gets 23% in such a hypothetical match (based on X's ratio with Ryu in the actual 2013 match, adjusted a bit for SFF), Link pulls 68.5% against Ryu directly (before accounting for X's votes). For comparison's sake, he only managed 73% directly against Raiden in their 2013 match (before accounting for Yoshi's votes).

In contrast, a scenario where Link scores 45%, X scores 30%, and Ryu scores 25% puts Link at about 64.5% against Ryu directly (again, before accounting for X's votes). The truth is likely somewhere in between, which underscores just how weak the Link of 2013's first two rounds was.

Of course, this math changes if you assume Link substantially SFFs X, though he only managed minor SFF, if any, in 2010.
