Those proportions aren't far out of line with their fields' respective sizes, which probably stays true even on a level playing field (in fact, the raw stats listed on the wiki actually give 2004 the relative advantage). Plus, both fields had their fair share of snubbed non-fodder. Of course, those raw gaps are pretty large, but there were also many notable characters who weren't introduced in or eligible for 2004, or even who became relevant after 2004. Well yeah, there are more "good" characters now than back when the contest started, so we don't have as much fodder as we used to in terms of overall percentage of the field (except for 2013 anyway, which was WAY too big). But Link doesn't routinely score as big of blowouts as he used to. That's really where you see the difference. 2002-2010 Link wrecked everyone except Cloud and Seph. Look at his numbers post-2010, and they're not as impressive at the top end. I guess the best example is Ganondorf since we've got two isolated matches in those eras. 2004 Link made Ganondorf look worse than CATS. 2018 Link can't even hit 80% (which is still impressive as heck, just not AS impressive as he used to be). --- ...
