Which NN'ers are on the new Smash game? Link, Cloud, Mario, Samus, Snake, Mega Man, and Sonic. Only Crono and Sephiroth are out of the party. (BTW, I ordered all of them in order of perceived and current strength.) --- Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think Seph can be added as an assist or something. But yeah no chance for Crono.

Match CXLI: (1) Link vs. (4) Cloud Strife
Current Contest Performance Link Defeated Ganondorf, 79.64% - 20.36% Defeated Pikachu, 68.41% - 31.59% Cloud Strife Defeated Alucard, 60.40% - 39.60% Defeated Crono, 56.73% - 43.27% Analysis For the next two days we will only have one match. Link vs. Cloud was always a classic match-up in the early days of this contest. However, there is no doubt that Link is the undisputed champion on this site. Despite two matches under his belt we still dont have a great reading on Link as he was able to SFF both Ganondorf and Pikachu. Clouds performance against Crono shows that he still has strength, whether that places him has the number two is still up for debate. After watching Mario dismantle Sephiroth it is hard to see Cloud not end up with the same fate. While Cloud may have received a boost from Super Smash Bros. 4 it is unlikely to help him in this match. If Link did get a substantial boost from Breath of the Wild, I wouldnt be surprised if he broke 60%. charmander6000s Bracket: Link > Crono charmander6000s Prediction: Link wins, 57.62% - 42.38% --- CBX - Today's Winners: Sonic and Samus ...

charmander6000s Prediction: Link wins, 57.62% - 42.38% I think you're being a little generous with that number if you're saying he won't receive much of a Smash boost. --- Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thing is...Link has boosted more
Also Cloud is probably at Samus/Mario level indirectly. so 58-60 is a out right. Anything below 58 and cloud is doing well. Anything above 60 and Link is doing well. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Link getting stronger, thanks to BoTW and Cloud keeps getting weaker...it's inevitable that the gap between the two will get bigger. Mario went from getting destroyed by Sephiroth to crushing him almost 60-40. Same fate waiting for Cloud, sadly.

I'm willing to give Zelda the benefit of the doubt against Sonic and say that she underperformed slightly due to a bad picture mismatch. If she didn't - which suggests Snake might be a hair stronger indirectly and she just ripped some Nintendo support away from him - it suggests good things for her against Samus and possibly even Mario. It does seem like Zelda underperformed slightly against Sonic. We've already seen that Snake/Zelda are pretty much equal, but Zelda did about 1% worse against Sonic than Snake did. Sprite pictures appear to have hurt Zelda, but the effect of sprites is roughly a 1% reduction. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! ...

Early vote in this match is funny
The super early people know Link actually wins all the time and anti-vote him Then you've got the casual early people who still anti-vote FFVII Cloud probably increases less than usual because of the super early vote, but I think Cloud can probably keep this below 55% --- No problem!

I'm surprised Snake was the pre-contest favorite against Samus despite Metal Gear being dead and Metroid having just been resurrected. I'm not. Bracketmakers remember the last known values; they tend to assume some boost from a new game/decline in the absence of a new game, but the latter is something that we expect to happen gradually. Of course, we forgot to account for the fact that contests are far more infrequent.

Dammit Board 8, Link's supposed to be the bad guy now. Never. Link is like Superman.

I wonder how strong Cloud would be if Final Fantasy used the same cast for every game like Zelda Technically Zelda doesn't. It's more of a legacy title. There have been like 10 different Links or something. Probably more. In order of their games' releases, since I can never remember the timeline: Z1/Z2 ALttP/LA/OoS/OoA (and there's some debate that that's actually two Links) OoT/MM FS WW/PH MC FSA TP ST SS ALBW BotW That's 12, not counting the non-canon CDi games, and I've probably forgotten at least one. --- "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!"
