So, how fucked is Samus?


In 2006 Snake was looking good going into a Samus match based on a Zelda result two days before, riding high on maximum Smash hype.

....He got stomped.

Yeah, I can tell Snakes boned against Samus. But how boned is Samus against Zelda?

Answered your own question.

Granted, I'm not comfortable in anyone at this point. Really seems like an 'anything is possible' scenario for every remaining match on the right side of the bracket.

I think part of this result is Smash coming out just now, and I think that will favor Samus (and is favoring Zelda here).

Even before this match I was feeling okay about Samus flipping the Mario result due to the Smash release, so that's where I stand on things.

I think that's right btw. I was going to use that as support for Samus beating Mario in the rematch, myself. Zelda gaining a bit from it too isn't too weird to think about even if Sheik is by far more popular in it.

I mean in the top Smash game in order to play as Sheik you need to pick Zelda...!

eh, the more reasonable inference is that breath of the wild lifted zelda way the heck up. I don't think Samus is just a Smash creation either -- or if she was, she and her games have grown in a huge way in the last decade, despite not having any new ones worth much.

So yeah officially I think, if Zelda faces Samus, Samus will take her out.

But I also think Zelda has the best chance of actually beating Link of Zelda/Mario/Samus.

It's a complicated web, man.

Kinda torn because I really want to see Zelda vs Link but it's also such a sad sad reflection on the site for that to even happen from opposite sides of the bracket.

I'm with you on that. Zelda might do the best vs. Link of all of these guys. (she also might do the worst!)

it's sorta sad that a huge smash game comes out in the last week of the contest and it doesn't really shake anything up because literally everyone is already in it

I'm not sure if it's weird SFF, Zelda bandwagon or something, but I don't see Zelda losing to non Link.

Weirdness exists one way or another. We can't get away from the fact that Samus outdid Mario's performance on her FF7 guy, then Tifa 52-48d Sephiroth, and then Mario 52-48d Samus. Someone got rSFFd somewhere.
