~*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

how many Zelda characters beat Sonic next contest if it happens around BotW2's launch window

Try however hard you want Ganondorf is staying where he is, just strong enough for us to think with a little boost maybe this time he can pull off an upset, but not weak enough to be an upset victim 1v1.

Breath of the Wild 2 could be All Ganondorf All The Time and that wouldn't change anything!

Hey, no one would've expected Zelda beating Snake and Mario before BotW. Anything could happen.

It's kinda funny how there's no real "fourth strongest Zelda character." Wonder if any of the BotW characters would be decent? Mipha probably the strongest of them, but I still wouldn't expect much...

Just need Epona to come back for BotW2

also everyone knows the real best BotW character is Prince Sidon

*gleam*

If Ganondorf gets butt shots like Zelda in the first BotW, he could beat multiple Noble Niners.

I wonder how much contest strength that butt shot was worth. It had to be worth like, at least an extra 3% on her opponents.

approximately 13.33%

just off the top of my head

Yeah, this site loves that stuff. Tifa would be weaker than Aeris if they had the same cup size, haha.

I think you can expand that to 'people in general' love that stuff. Zelda (the character, and the series too I guess) has never been more popular on the internet in general than she is right now.

I mean, this site being over 90% male contributes.

Zelda never had big boobs though.

Maybe Aerith could have been stronger with more trunk.

If this were reversed, maybe it would be Cloud and Link who are the most popular characters

Squall would be a Noble Niner for sure imhotbqh

What non-Noble Niners would be expected beat Ganondorf anyways?
Id go with:
-Zelda
-Pikachu
-Tifa
-Mega Man X
-Luigi
-Bowser (maybe? Wouldnt consider it much of an upset either way.)
-Yoshi (see above. Some historical reasons to be skeptical of Yoshi in particular but those are ancient at this point and he looked fine against Pikachu in 2018.)

Yoshi hasn't looked that good in a long time

I don't remember Yoshi looking bad aside from 2008, but he's often wasted in bracket placement.

yeah looking at his contest history I guess he hasn't really faced anyone we can actually measure him against in a long time aside from Pikachu

Ganondorf.

Nominate Sheik.

Zelda fourth-place fourpack:

Midna/Epona
Vaati/Skull Kid

Epona > Skull Kid

Vaati is definitely last there.

Whoever wins gets fed to Sheik.

Id probably even take Groose over Vaati.

Zant and if allowed Agahnim would be better too, though they wouldnt beat Skull Kid either.

OoT side characters should be in discussion as well just because they are from OoT. Malon can probably do recent.

As would Saria.

As would Darunia.

Not so much confidence for Richard the Hyrule Market dog, but I'm not ready to completely count him out either.

And this is gonna sound like a joke but I do think the Great Deku Tree could prove dangerous in a contest.

This guy gets it.

Link the Goron.

Skull Kid would not do well, and I'm always kind of stunned when I hear anyone have anything above apathy for him

The Moon would be a better representative from Majora's Mask than him.

Majora > Skull Kid?

Skull kid would only have strength if the picture has him wearing Majora's Mask.

Bump

Bump.

Surprised there's been no announcement yet. Where are we at in the "longest period between contests" tracker?

maybe @SBAllen just completely forgot about contests.

It's never too late to break the dry spell...!

We need to start bringing in the revenue to get more contests. Everyone here should become a Tiktok influencer and bring people to the site.

I can't imagine Skull Kid without it if he makes it into a contest. Assuming he were to receive a Majora's Mask pic, who would you take in these top-of-my-head 1v1 matches?

Skull Kid vs. Ridley
Skull Kid vs. King K. Rool
Skull Kid vs. Diddy Kong
Skull Kid vs. King Boo
Skull Kid vs. Peach
Skull Kid vs. Bowser Jr.
Skull Kid vs. Meta Knight
Skull Kid vs. King Dedede
Skull Kid vs. Shulk
Skull Kid vs. Pyra
Skull Kid vs. Raiden (MGS)
Skull Kid vs. Magus
Skull Kid vs. Zidane
Skull Kid vs. Yuna
Skull Kid vs. Jessie Rasberry
Skull Kid vs. DoomSlayer
Skull Kid vs. Diablo
Skull Kid vs. Lloyd Irving
Skull Kid vs. Phoenix Wright

Just jot me down for "Not Skull Kid" on all of those

I think Skull Kid could win some of those...

Maybe King Boo or Bowser Jr

I feel like regular Boo would do better than King Boo.

Have we gotten generic enemies other than Pokemon in the contests?

L-Block

We got Slime into the 2013 contest too

Now we need to get Smash Bros. all-star piranha plant in

...Would SSB make Piranha Plant stronger than Goomba? I think no.

L-Block is not the enemy. Gravity is the enemy.

L-Block is gravity's minion
