HaRRicH 12/09/21 12:30:47 AM #19: | ZELDA'S SEEDING: Since our goal is to get Sheik in a contest, this goal may require out-nominating Zelda...so what is Zelda's history with nominations anyway? 2002: not selected by CJayC 2003: 10-seed (~37th-40th most nominated) 2004: snubbed (failed to break through the company cap due to 8-seeded Ganondorf -- no higher than ~30th-32nd) 2005: 5-seed (~33rd-40th most nominated) 2006: 1-seed in Female Bracket (~1st-4th most nominated among women) 2007: entered (no lower than ~128th) 2008: entered (no lower than ~128th) 2009/2010: 10-seed (~73rd-80th most nominated) 2013: 16-seed (~135th-144th most nominated) 2018: 4-seed in main bracket (~33th-40th most nominated) We have a huge task ahead of us since Zelda is a former #1 seed who is the eponymous character of Sheik's original series. We also saw Breath of the Wild boost both Ganondorf and Zelda's seeding up to 4-seeds. This is a big challenge to overcome, more so than any rally has ever faced. Fret not though! Zelda has been snubbed before -- see 2004. Also, until Breath of the Wild released, Zelda's seeding looked like it was dropping between 2006 and 2013. In fact, 2013 is an interesting case study for LoZ-characters: 1-seed: Link 8-seed: Epona 8-seed: Groose 9-seed: Ganondorf 16-seed: Zelda 18-seed: Midna 27-seed: Tingle Notice Zelda had a 16-seed and she was smoked by Board 8s rally for Epona who got an 8-seed. Heck, we even got Epona to out-seed Ganondorf. We could have done this in 2013 -- no reason why we can't score a repeat in the next Character Battle. This board has out-seeded Zelda before with a female who debuted in Ocarina of Time. It's time to do it again. #DownB https://www.ssbwiki.com/images/4/48/Sheik_SSBM.jpg --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://imgur.com/OpudFxm ... Copied to Clipboard! |
