(+) Yeah! (+)

I have faith

Pikachu would stomp (in relative terms) Ganondorf. I don't think it would be close.

i can't wait for the link/ganondorf rematch

Huh.

Time to reevaluate everything.

Finally, might be seeing a crew curse

I don't think Ganondorf will ever win. Why would anyone vote for a villian?

None of you have mentioned the most underrated crew curse of them all, Joker vs. Claire.

this looks eerily similar to X/Tifa

Now that's a statement that aged like mayionaise in the summer.

Where is Nick when we need him.

the fate of the noble nine rests on a rat, eh

Imagine both MM and MMX getting screwed by hentai

Well, Pikachu HAS beaten a former contest winner before.
---

I think I still kinda favor Mega Man here?
---

Eh he wins. He wins in USA with a lot. And you may say that other characters were winning in USA and they lost eventually but here he wins in most countries. Only in UK he loses badly.
---

UK is always the problem with these contests

I wouldn't count a Pokemon character out with the day vote.
---

Someone go on Fortnite and rally the 12 year olds for Pikachu

dude we had a hedgehog

Asia/Japan/Oceania > Mexico/South America > US > Europe > Canada > UK in terms of overall contest results imo. So yeah UK is definitely the problem.
---

um no, UK is the only place FF7 and Sonic are respected and we all know that the only problem with these contests is ff7 and sonic haven't won enough.

FF7 would win even harder in Asia so we can just give your votes to Asia if it makes you feel better
---

I'm from the uk and don't really know anyone who gives a fuck about megaman or the games.

Not saying no one does, but yeah. Are games even still made for megaman?

Pokemon hasn't been good with the day vote this year. Red lost it outright to Big Boss, and MGS has an awful day vote.

still better than mega man apparently!

man, you say that but ff7 is practically grand theft auto in japan. gamefaqs japan probably anti votes the hell out of it.

The 'day' vote in this contest is a mix of Europe and NA. It's not the kind of day vote we remember.

Feeling less good about Mega Man after the past hour!

Legends Bracket: Round 1 Cloud Strife vs. Alucard

Monikas Analysis

Alucard has been stomping Nintendo and Square all contest, so what is his reward for doing that? Getting the honor of facing the strongest Square character in a 2002 throwback match.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/989

And since then, he now appears in a super popular Nintendo game. Yay!

This is too much of a hurdle for Alucard to overcome. After watching Seph hold up for the most part in his division, I dont think Alucard is going to get all that close to Cloud here. 40% would be pretty amazing for him. Cloud isnt as strong as he was in 2002, and Alucards resurgance maybe has put him about that 2002 level, so I expect this to be a bit closer now.

Monikas Voting Tip of the Day: Give it to Alucard! I love a good underdog story.

Monikas Prediction of the Day: Cloud 64%

...That's my advice for today! Thanks for listening~

transiences Analysis

Lopen has a theory about 'Playstation SFF', and I think this match will be a good test. There are only about 7 or so notable PS1 games and we've got two of them here. PS1 had a huge library but from this site's perspective, it's the Square RPGs, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil and Symphony of the Night. That's about it.

Alucard's been pretty good this year but Cloud should be well out of his league. I can't decide if he's had an amazing year or if his entire division just sucked relative to expectations. It's basically Square characters, human Pokemon dudes and Metal Gear Solid. All of those guys kinda suck. Anyway, I believe in Alucard, but not enough to get him to break 60 on Cloud. This probably goes the way of Sephiroth/Ryu. If we get some 'Playstation SFF', maybe Cloud pushes into the high 60s. That'd be an interesting result but I don't think it affects his upcoming showdown with Link.

transience's prediction: Cloud with 62.23%

Leonharts Analysis

Alucards had a great run thus far, but I feel like Clouds a pretty bad matchup for him. In terms of 90s PS1 games, Symphony of the Night is no match for Final Fantasy VII. While Cloud has fallen off quite a bit over the years, its hard to imagine that hed ever only put up 55% on Sora. Im not really sure what a good target percentage is for him to shoot for in order to look good down the line against some of the other Noble Niners (and Pikachu, apparently). Id guess probably at least 60% or so, although with what were seeing out of the gate, I wont be stunned if Cloud doesnt hit it.

Leonharts Vote: Cloud Strife

Leonharts Prediction: Cloud Strife with 62.44%

Kleenexs Analysis

Mega Man is currently embroiled in a tough battle with Pikachu as Im writing this, so the Noble Nine may not be as infallible as I thought yesterday. Luckily for Cloud, he got the easiest match of the Quarterfinals. Alucard was maybe the most impressive of the eight who made it out of the main bracket, but hes also definitely the weakest. FF7 ended up looking mostly okay this year by the end of things, so theres a good chance Cloud looks pretty respectable here. Alucard may be able to surprise, but not to the extent that Cloud is in any danger whatsoever (this round, anyway!)

Kleenexs Prediction: Cloud with 60%

Crew Consensus: Alucards future outlook is Cloudy
---

Barring Playstation SFF, my super secret KP Stats projections I just ran have Cloud winning with about 57%

Let's see if that holds up!

ASV is back !

I tried looking up clips of Mega Man being shocked by thunder and all I found was this really awful looking CGI cartoon that aired semi-recently (and happened to have Elec Man in it).

No wonder MM never gains any traction with new voters if this is the best side content they can put out!

Smash 4 certainly has something!
