As much as I like Square characters now, it sucked back in 2003 when I barely knew them and they were dominating everything.

Introducing us to Phoenix Wright too early would accelerate the adoption of Phoenix Wright on this board, which would in turn accelerate Phoenix's notability in the mainstream.

What I'm saying is that we might have had Ace Attorney 7 by now.

This actually made me realize that there's VERY few examples in this bracket of a post-2003 character beating a pre-2003 character

Phoenix > Chris is probably the most shocking to someone from 2003, 2B > Ness would also be quite surprising

Geralt > Simon, but Simon wasn't very strong until smash boost

I can't remember if there's any other examples

You what would really be great to see? Their complete lack of surprise at Alucard winning his division. They'd just be wondering why he got put in a division where Yuna was the only character with any chance of giving him a match.

Shepard looked pathetic in this contest. Almost as weak as Lloyd (not that someone in 2003 would have anything to go off of with him either).

I feel like Tifa > Sephiroth would be the only truly mindblowing result. The rest could be rationalized in various ways (we could accept that certain games would get more or less popular over time), but how the hell could Tifa suddenly be stronger than Sephiroth of all people?

Yep.

Crash/Cecil/Big Boss/Ridley
Terra/Charizard/Bowser/Gordon
Sephiroth/Wesker/Falcon/Richter

Every other fourpack in the main bracket has at least one character that didnt exist in 2003.
