Pikachu has this in the bag. No way the rabid Pokemon manchildren don't manage to rally another cheap win

How does it feel to be wrong again and again and again so you start insulting?


Why the hell do you have ads in your sig?

Why do you think you seeing ads in his sig has something to do with him and not you?

By the way thanks for reminding me I need to change a sig

I don't even remember why I had it in the first place, I think it was because I was too lazy to post my 3DS FC every time I added someone back when XY came out and needed a perfect Friend Safari

Ads have been showing up in random sigs for me as well. They were never there until just recently.

I'm actually seeing tons of pre-order Smash Ultimate ads.

How bout you stop rooting against shit that is fun?

The ONLY potential fun matches we have left is Cloud vs Mario, Samus, Zelda, and Zelda herself vs Mario and Cloud/Samus.

And those are only potential. They may be blowouts.

Pikachu already needs to cut like 60 an hour just to get within that already farfetched 100 striking distance.

It's probably not going to happen without a rally

I did some stats here and Crono needs Cloud to get over 36.27% on Link in order to win against MM.

This is assuming only today's MM vs Pika match counts, because I'm lazy.

I think Cloud can get there, Link is strong but I'm not sure if he can double Cloud now.

This is also assuming no SFF on Link vs Pikachu, I suppose.

Cloud should clear that easily, that's 10% worse than the worst he's ever done against Link. But yeah, there was almost certainly SFF in Link/Pikachu.

Link vs Pika def had some SFF involved. Cloud is one of the few characters that should avoid almost all SFF from Link. I expect him to get near 40 on Link, but for MM to still beat Crono.

Just checked the poll of the day (the actual poll). I know this is an LFF-fest, but way to go, Kirby! He's my favorite Nintendo character although Link is by far my favorite Smash 64 main.

Poor Jigglypuff, though... Maybe she's been round-pink-puff-SFF'd by Kirby though (aside from Pika, obviously).

this is why Samus just needed to win

all the more reason to vote for her in the runback


Assuming there'll even be a runback!

UltimaterializerX posted...
In 2005 I do feel that match was obvious. Yesterday proved that moving forward it's no longer obvious.

It kills me to say this but Mario is not what he used to be. Zelda is going to kill him.


...Oh. Huh. Didn't even consider that one. My idea that there wouldn't be a runback was that Zelda would take Samus out before Mario could (though now that I stop to think about it, if Mario gets past Zelda he's in the Legends Finals against Link, which means that Samus would also have to get past Cloud to get another shot at Mario--which given how strong Nintendo seems to be is entirely possible, but I'm still afraid to predict it), but Zelda > Mario would make it happen quickly.

...I don't think I can predict that, either.

If this is a proxy for Samus/Link, we might have one heck of a Grand Final coming up.

In all seriousness, this poll will probably tell us a ton about Link, Mario, and Samus's strengths and where they come from. If we can figure out how to read it right.


This poll seems worthless in judging character strength because we currently have results such as Mario getting more than doubled by Samus happening in the poll and Ness beating Pikachu.


Well, we're now a good way in, and Ness is no longer beating Pikachu... but he's still beating Mario! Then again, Mario is at his best when he can just be a proxy for Nintendo. He's never fared well in these big multitway polls

Match CXXXIX: (6) Sonic the Hedgehog vs. (3) Solid Snake

Current Contest Performance

Sonic the Hedgehog
Defeated Auron, 54.32% - 45.68%
Lost to Zelda, 43.55% - 56.45%

Solid Snake
Lost to Zelda, 49.68% - 50.32%
Defeated Auron, 61.48% - 38.52%

Analysis

While this may be the only non-rematch of the round, the winner is more or less still conclusive. Solid Snake was able to outperform Sonic against both Zelda and Auron to the point where he should win comfortably.

The only shenanigans that may occur could be due to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate coming out soon. While Nintendo fans may like Sonic more, Solid Snake is a bit of a fan favourite, with many people excited to see him in the game. Regardless, Snake should still hold on and well soon get to see how he fares against the upper levels of the Noble Nine.

charmander6000s Bracket: Sonic the Hedgehog > Zelda

charmander6000s Prediction: Solid Snake wins, 55.28% - 44.72%




Match CXL: (2) Samus Aran vs. (3) Tifa Lockheart

Current Contest Performance

Samus Aran
Defeated Tifa Lockheart, 58.93% - 41.07%
Lost to Mario, 48.58% - 51.42%

Tifa Lockheart
Defeated Geno, 73.19% - 26.81%
Defeated Mewtwo, 58.10% - 41.90%
Defeated Mega Man X, 50.18% - 49.82%
Defeated Luigi, 51.36% - 48.64%
Lost to Samus Aran, 41.07% - 58.93%
Defeated Sephiroth, 52.33% - 47.67%

Analysis

I have to give Tifa credit for upsetting the Final Fantasy VII hierarchy and potentially giving my Mega Man X > Sephiroth upset some possibility of happening. Samus was also able to hold quite well against Mario, maybe one day shell have the right conditions to finally get that plumber off her back.

This is another rematch and given that Samus won so easily the last time they met, I dont see Tifa flipping this result. Even rallying would be tough as Samus can also be quite attractive to the same fanbases that Tifa is rallying. Despite Noble Nine characters losing this contest we are officially down to a single remaining non-Noble Nine character, Zelda.

charmander6000s Bracket: Samus Aran > Mega Man X

charmander6000s Prediction: Samus Aran wins, 58.93% - 41.07%

It's worth pointing out that Freeman had Valve rallying for him so take those X-stats with a mountain of salt, and I think Blizzard rallied for Kerrigan.

We laughed at them for having their contests taken over by rallies.

Also note that Bub and Bob in Heroes and General Raam in Villains were 4chan's rally targets; they did some pretty good damage before going down.

Gamespot also did a best sidekick contest but that ended up a total travesty. Leon knew 4chan was going to try to mess with it and predicted accordingly. 4chan were wildly successful; I think they pushed most of their desired winners through already in the first round. As a result, Leon was #1 on the leaderboard going into the final match and had correctly predicted both of the finalists to get there but unfortunately he had Albert Einstein beating Launchpad McQuack instead of the other way around.

If some of Cloud's strength retention is from Smash, then we probably finally will see some SFF in Link/Cloud.
