84? Eighty freaking four?

Is some of this bracket voting, or are we really in for the biggest SFF beating in Contest history?

Oh man, stabilizing now, so it appears that Zelda's going to save its strength and make a run for that 85% mark as soon as the sun rises.

Yikes.

i think we are. i've voted for metroid every single time in this contest so far, but i'm voting zelda this time since it's the better nintendo series (love BOTH series as a huge nintendo fan)

Hm, this day vote hasn't been as nasty as I expected. Though perhaps Zelda still has a surprise in store for us this afternoon...

The real question here is, how did we go from this

Link 62.06% 67294
Samus Aran 37.94% 41139
TOTAL VOTES 108433

to this?

The Legend of Zelda 84.5% 55625
Metroid 15.5% 10205
TOTAL VOTES 65830

Link/Zelda has been an unstoppable SFFing machine against all things Nintendo, with the exception of this one match. Meanwhile, Metroid/Samus has been getting sucked dry whenever anything Zelda drops by ever since this. What made 2003 so weird?

Because Samus is nearly as popular as her series, while LoZ is FAR stronger than Link himself.

That's a good point, let's consider pic factor.

2003: http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/sc2k3/sum03b57.jpg

Today: http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/bse/bse25.jpg

I was thinking that there wouldn't be as large a pic advantage today, because at least you have Samus on there. But now that I look again, I can see how at first glance all you'd see is a bunch of test tubes and a visor on the right, while Link more or less dominates the left side of the screen.

But is TP-style Link really 20% stronger in SFFable settings than WW-style Link?

Probably.

I agree Samus>>>Metroid.

Because you forget Samus is a SSBM Character.

Who do you think is stronger in these:

Mega Man VS Mega Man Series

Sonic VS Sonic Series

Snake VS Metal Gear Series

Kirby VS Kirby Series

Mario VS Mario Series

To me, it seems as though it's

Final Fantasy > Cloud (easily)
Zelda > Link (easily)
Super Mario > Mario (pretty easily)
Samus > Metroid (seems clear now)
Snake > MGS (maybe?)
Mega Man > Series (maybe?)
Sonic > Series (maybe?)
Kirby > Series (seems pretty obvious now)

The games are comparable, but Samus is a vastly superior character. That previous contest was a frigging joke.

How so, Gambit?

And wow, 121k already! This isn't supposed to be possible in major SFF matches.

this is the most stable match i've ever witnessed as far as percentage is concerned.
From: Ngamer64 | Posted: 7/26/2006 9:30:56 PM | Message Detail
It's official! Zelda is the most popular contestant of all time (in terms of total votes gained in a single match), and this is the 3rd most popular match of all time!
