~*Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings*~
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's extrapolated percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

It would probably be closer now than at Snake's peak, but Snake should still win it.

Keep in mind that Mega Man went 50/50 with Pikachu twice while Snake went 50/50 with Zelda and stomped Sonic. It would probably be 55/45 or so.

As of last character battle, Snake beat Sonic worse than Crono and Pikachu (both all but equal to Mega Man) beat Bowser and Yoshi. I dont have much respect for Sonics strength but Bowser/Yoshi > Sonic isnt very likely.

And while Snake has declined a lot and may continue to do so, while three ways and 2013s general wonkiness make it hard to judge precisely, Mega Man 2018 had probably declined too; at the very least he didnt meet some of the higher expectations of him. He seemed stronger in 2013 when people were excited about his Smash announcement, hyped about Mighty No. 9, and angry at Capcom than 2018 when the first two of those projects actually came to fruition and Capcom made another real Mega Man game.

Admittedly I was going off of Snake getting destroyed by Samus, and Mega Man's franchise being in better health than Snake's. Yeah Snake should win that.

Darn you 2006

Although that one feels a bit easier to explain than 2018, which makes no sense unless Samus is the #2 character by a sizable margin and the Mario rSFF is just THAT bad.

I feel bad for Snake even though Samus is my favorite VG character (though truth be told I don't really have that much attachment to any of them in particular).

Looks like Aerith has gotten a bit of Remake boost, which is to be expected

Vincent continues to drop off in strength as well, it appears

Because Tifa is SFFing her. 1-on-1, Aerith was already stronger than Vincent in 2018 and outperformed Squall on Zelda too. 2018 Aerith wouldnt need too big a boost to make Auron/Aerith a tossup for FFs #4 either.

edit: whoops, forgot all about Vivi. Vivi might be the #4 now, actually.

To be fair, Aerith went from 35% on Vincent head-to-head in 2019 to 44% here! That level of relative increase is like if Yoshi just started beating on Snake all of a sudden.

It's also interesting to see that Barret and Red XIII haven't really changed at all. Also, most of Tifa's and Aerith's gains have been at Vincent's and Cid's expense.

I was never a fan of Aeris in the original, but something about her in the remake was way more endearing. Not sure if it was the voice acting or what

Fuck Tifa, she's the nastiest skank bitch I've ever seen

No, the MMX/Tifa rally was real. It just probably wasn't all that impactful (nor were any of the ones in GotD2).

It's one of those things where it's much fun to talk about than whether or not it was actually effective.

GameFAQs largely serves up text based content and has a low staff count. So our running costs should pretty low. Like the entirely of content on the message board is measured in GBs which is nothing these days. We get a lot of traffic so I imagine we're profitable and worth keeping around. Although, I guess a potential danger is the new owners decide the GameFAQs content should just be fully merged into GameSpot or something like that rather than being some weird subsection.
