Actually,
upsets in prediction percentages shouldn't work for rounds 2 and
beyond, since you can have, say, Master Chief, Zero, Scorpion, etc. in
the Elite 8. There's a possibility that Sonic was the most common
choice to take the lower East, so it wouldn't be an upset.

Today's pick: Megaman over Vercetti |
| From: BigCow | Posted: 8/27/2003 9:29:25 AM | Message Detail |
I'm
well aware of that, we have no way of knowing all the prediction
percentages there. However, we know who the most popular pick was for
all the majority cases. I'm simply identifying the characters that
weren't a majority pick.
And that's still only one character for
round three, and a handful for round two. There were a lot of majority
picks, these are simply the ones so far that weren't overwhelmingly
obvious. It's possible that aside from Link's and Cloud's next matches,
we may see no more majority winners.
Also, we don't know Snake's precentage to win yet either.

As Big Cow pointed out, there's only one and two seeds left.
Blah :P
Link's
and Cloud's spots in the final four are pretty much assured.
Mario/Sephie will be a tossup, and now it seems like I'm not the only
one having second thoughts about the Mega Man/Snake match.

65.68% for Snake, BigCow.
And you know what's funny? Even LINK winning the tourney wouldn't be a majority pick.

Thanks Slowflake, it still doesn't show up on mine.
Link
winning the tourney would be 42.79%, whereas second place, Sephiroth,
would be 7.95%. He's the clear plurality favorite, but he's not a
majority pick.
It's still pretty disgusting. Last year Mario
was the overwhelming pick to win with 1:6 odds or something, and Link
was 1:9. This year, Link's 1:1 or something. It's kind of sad that
everyone bets on the winner, and that likely influences the voting.

Well,
I don't think Cloud or Sephiroth would have stood a chance to begin
with. I say remove the bracket part of the tournament if there's going
to be one next year. I'm all for that, despite having a great shot to
win a prize right now. (Speaking of which, I'm fully expecting to gain
a few places from those who picked Vercetti to win today.)

Mega Man vs Vercetti Review
So
much for the power of Vercetti. *Hears the sounds of 2260 brackets
being ripped to shreds.* Four things to pull from this match.
1. I was way off in thinking the bracket-voters would pull this match to at least the 60/40 range.
2.
Vercetti ends up being the contest's stronger version of Gordon
Freeman, meaning -- Very popular game with a not so popular main
character.
3. Zelda's stock is rising since MM had more trouble with her than with Tommy
4. Everyone who was pushing the panic button for Mega Man after the 2nd round, false alarm. Nothing to worry about!
So
with Snake/Mega Man on the horizon, I feel that this match is Mega
Man's to lose. Snake has shown himself to be only as strong as he was
last year, while the blue bomber, who came within 1000 votes of
Sephiroth, certainly hasn't lost any popularity. (but rather is facing
much stronger competition) So if the Snake of last year most likely
would have lost to the Mega Man of last year, I don't see much changing
in the actual confrontation |

Yay!
I predicted all of the Elite Eight correctly, and I'll probably be in
the top 50 by tomorrow! Megaman's during worse against Vercetti than I
thought he would but it's still good enough for me to confident of his
Final Four chances. This match makes Zelda look really good and makes
Kite look a little better, IMO

Like Yesmar, I'll likely be in the Top 50 tomorrow! Hurray for us!

I start, a question: in KH, did Cloud REALLY grow bat wings and huge
biceps or is it something my mind made up with these ****ed up pics?)
West Semifinal #2 Review
Let's
say... I expected a bit more than Megaman just doubling Vercetti. I
expected something more along the lines of 70-30 MM. But Megaman
falling in popularity is highly questionable... what about the Battle
Network games? Nonetheless, some people, including me, are starting to
worry about Snake, who was rather unimpressive again this year, save
for his "new and improved Knuckles cocktail". But... it wouldn't
surprise me if Vercetti had the Master Chief factor going for him...
armies of haters, but die-hard fans who can alter the numbers.
North Final Preview
Sit
comfortably on the couch, sip a Fanta Shokata or two, annoy the board
with them on your brand new laptop, and enjoy the massacre... because
this is what to expect from tomorrow's match. Link beat MARIO 63-37.
However, there doesn't seem to be too much Samus hate, so this could be
the only chance for Samus to do better than Mr. Nintendo. Metroid Prime
and Fusion made a big impact last year, but so did Wind Waker, and the
potential haters brought by the graphics weren't nearly as numerous as
once thought. Plus, Link had his two massive blowouts with a WW pic. If
we get an OoT, SSBM or SC2 pic from now on... bar one more source, if
not of anti-votes, at least of worry.

Yeah, there have been very few prediction upsets past Round 1 in these contest it seems...
Here are characters that definitely weren't picked by the most brackets to win in 2002, aside from R1.
Scorpion (making top 16) - more thought Max Payne would get there.
Alucard (making top 16) - more thought Duke Nukem XD would get there.
Scorpion (making top 8)) - more thought Pac-Man would have that spot.
Crono (making top 4) - more thought Snake would do it...a LOT more.
Link (winning it all) - more thought Mario would win...and perhaps Solid Snake or Sephiroth, as well.
Possible other ones in 2002...
Jill
Valentine (making top 16) - more may have expected Kirby or Bomberman
to achieve this. It boggles my mind that so many thought Jill would
beat Kirby, yet lose to Bomberman. Must've been because of Kirby's low
seed...
Samus (making top 8) - more may have expected Sonic to reach
R4...but this a big maybe, especially since this was one of the most
competive groups of 8 characters.
Obvious ones for 2003...
Magus
(making top 16) - apparently he's the only one who was clearly a
surprise this tourney, as less than 25% predicted him to get this far.
Tidus and/or Ganondorf were picked more than Magus.
Possible ones for 2003...
Squall (making top 16) - Luigi?
Bowser (making top 16) - Yoshi?
Ryu (making top 16) - Was Dante the favorite?
NONE in Round 3 so far....but if Crono won against Mario, the correct amount of brackets could've been under 15%...

Mega Man vs. Snake:
Mega
Man is really disappointing me here. I was expecting much worse than
this. I was mostly discounting the rumblings about Snake being a threat
to him before, but now I'm not so sure. If his improved performance
really does reflect that Snake's popularity has improved by a little
bit, he has a great shot at beating Mega Man, something I never
would've considered before this contest started. In fact, I barely gave
that match a second thought as late as last week.

And
once again, it seems that Mega Man is indeed a victim of those
protecting their brackets. Only 31.11% had the blue bomber going the
the Elite 8, the lowest of all the remaining characters. Every other
character except for Sonic is above 50%, and Mega Man easily a has
better chance at taking the contest than Sonic.
So it seems
like alot of these brackets were for Vercetti. I mean, the only other
characters that could have gotten those picks were DK & Zelda, but
c'mon, Vercetti was the one with the 6th highest picked to win total.
Put another plus on MM's victory yesterday. |

Remember
the list of predicted percentages against Link made based on last
year's performance? Samus was predicted to get 41.065%. As of right
now, Samus has 40.73%. I know it's a bit early to call and the
percentages are likely to change by quite a bit. But isn't it a bit
eerie how accurate its been? It also predicted Fox's percentage almost
perfectly. Magus got a bit higher then Ganondorf who got a bit higher
then Tidus. Magus got slightly higher then Tidus' predicted percentage
against Link.

alright Slowflake! number 39!
i
don't have time for any full match reviews at the moment, but with the
amount of bracket voters Vercetti had, i would say that Megaman did
pretty well against him. he had almost 60000 non-bracket/casual votes.
Megaman vs. Solid Snake looks like it will be close, but Megaman looks
like he will be strong enough to pull it out.
and tomorrow,
Cloud will destroy Sonic. he barely beat Aeris, and Cloud is miles
ahead of Aeris. it will be like the Link vs. Scorpion match of last
year. well, maybe not that bad, since Sonic is much more deserving of
an elite eight spot than Scorpion; but still the biggest blowout this
round.

Nice work Snowflake! Hopefully you can continue to move up... what if you won a prize? That'd be so sweet!
And, do my eyes deceive me, or is Mega Man's prediction percentage the lowest of all the elite 8 characters?

FINALLY, SLOWFLAKE HAS COME BACK TO THE TOP 50!
If
Sephiroth goes to the finals, then yes, I might very well win a prize.
Mario vs. Crono not even getting 135000 votes gives me more confidence
in my tiebreaker.
But today is STATS DAY! Coming later:
-Overall standings by half-division
-Round 3 predictions
-Vote counts: 2002 vs. 2003 (first 3 rounds)
LOL, I just found out how to skip two lines without putting anything in either one!
No Winners And Losers, since there wouldn't be enough substance to make one, but I'll still give the Star and Turd awards.
STAR OF THE ROUND: Aeris Gainsborough (E11):
No one was particularly impressive this round, so I have to give the
nod to Aeris here. Despite what numbers tend to say, she kept up easily
with Sonic during nighttime. For a supporting character, even from FF7,
it's quite an impressive performance.
TURD OF THE ROUND: Bowser (E5):
He's the first character to have won both awards (he got the Star award
in round 1). 70-30 is the kind of whipping we expected from YOSHI over
Bowser in June! Having beaten the same Yoshi, who's still popular among
Nintendites, Bowser had a good chance for an upset, or at least a great
performance, against Cloud. He blew it. Hardcore. Big time. As MMX put
it so well... sorry Bowser, but your championship is in another
tournament.

Hi guys.
This
is a great topic, and I lurk here all the time. I just wanted to
discuss what surprised me in the Prophetic Predictions topic.
Crono
got a lot of wins there before the match happened. A lot of you agreed
that Sephiroth has a stronger fanbase then Crono, and after his
blow-out against Alucard I heard someone say he probably was slightly
stronger then Cloud.
I am getting eery by Mario's "clutch"
ability, but when I saw more people going for Mario there then for
Sephiroth, I was a bit surprised.
So I wanted to ask in this topic, how many of you think Mario is going to beat Sephiroth?

*doesn't raise hand*
While
the hardcore voters make up for very little of the vote in normal
matches, these guys ARE the vote-stuffers in Mario matches. And the
Square ones will be motivated to boot. Cloud, Crono, then Crono
again... but this time they have an even more powerful character to
back in Sephiroth. Plus, there are the now split bracket-voters...
But Mario Magic does worry me though.
Before I'm done... BAH GAWD THAWT'S A NAYCE SIG SHAYKE!

A

vs. Cloud, still #2 of all time in terms of vote turnout.

Comments on above stats:
-Link is absolutely DOMINANT in the predictions department. How surprising.
-Megaman will soooo not have the bracket-vote advantage next round. Neither did he against Sephiroth last year, though...
-Speaking
of Megaman, on second thought, he isn't doing so bad. Lara'd get 29.6%
of the vote against him, which is about the same percentage she got
against Crono. Crono beat Snake last year...
-Cloud and
Sephiroth are steamrolling over the competition. They have yet to get
below 70% in a match this year. Link had some stiff competition in his
half-division though, that's why he's not up there with them.
-On the opposite end of the spectrum, EVERYONE would have gotten Sonic down below 70%.
-The last of each half-division are all 15 and 16 seeds, except Ratchet (14) and Gordon (7).
-Of course, the first of each half-division are all 1 and 2 seeds.

Thanks
Snowflake, Ryu Senkari made a hilarious topic and I just pasted the
best lines to my sig. I had to much of it to add his name to it, so
I'll just give him props here. The original was much longer though and
ended with the unforgettable line: WHERE'S MY BARBECUE SAUCE ?!!!!
That
aside though, Cloud is going to put on a great performance against
Sonic if he wants to calm my worry's this Samus vs Link matchup has
stirred. 60 to 40 is an awesome percentage, although I hope it can at
least partially be because of the split fanbase.
He needs 60 to 65 % against Sonic to counter this latest Link match, and that is no easy task.

I agree : I was a bit enthusiastic after Cloud vs Bowser, but things are looking down for the alledged baby-eater.
We
will have to wait untill after the Sonic match before we can really
gauge what he is made of. I m hoping for him to surprise me and come up
with 68 % or so.
Its the only way this tournament can make the
semi-final exciting enough. There has to be some doubt Link CAN lose
this match. Cloud= Sephiroth. And Mario cant hold a candle to Link's
dog, let alone give him a hard time. If Cloud doesn't totally overrun
Sonic, this tournament is over and done with.

Round 4 Analysis: Cloud vs Sonic
Bracket Pick: Cloud over Aeris, Prediction: Cloud by 61.90%
I
did not have time to do a Link vs Samus Analysis, but I will say in
summary that my bracket had Link over Luigi (!) but I predicted Link to
beat Samus by 58.40. Currently he is doing a little better than that.
The split Nintendite vote in favor of the more liked Link and the 'lets
protect our' bracket voters are too much for Samus to overcome...
As
for Cloud and Sonic: this should be the easiest of the Elite Eight
matches to call, with the second #2 seed in a row to fall. Sonic has
had his problems with Zero and now Aeris. These problems do not bode
well for him taking on Square juggernaut Cloud.
Of who is
left, Sonic has the least amount of brackets putting him on the winners
stand. That small fact tells the tale there. He will draw the Sega
Squadrons who wish to save their only representative left from defeat.
He will draw Nintendites who just cant stand FF7 or Square or Cloud, he
will draw some kiddies. But it wont be enough, for Cloud is too strong
and too well liked. It will be a battle of RPG's greatest heros in the
first of two semifinals next week...Sonic just cannot win this one...he
lacks the overwhelming support he needs.

Up to Samus, 11331 people picked a losing character to win the competition.
That's 27.60% of everyone.
And the numbers will keep on climbing.
Survivors:
Link 17571
Sephiroth 3265
Mario 2953
Cloud 2482
Snake 2378
Mega Man 599
Sonic 480
Samus was my next best bet to beat Link, but Metroid Prime and Fusion only go so far. The Hyrulian looks set to win it all.

North Final Review
A
scenario well familiar to us happens once again, as Link clinches his
10th win in a row. The funny thing here is that Samus is doing slightly
better than Mario against the Hero of Time. Could this mean Samus is
now second-in-command in the Nintendo department?
East Final Review
Another
no-brainer here. It would take a miracle for Sonic to take out Cloud...
53% last round against the Gaming Spoiler Goddess (although goddesses
are rarely said to look this bad) gives a fairly good clue as to how
he'll perform against the lead of the same game. Thus ending the wild
roller-coaster ride of the Sonic crew in this contest.
These were short, huh? These two matches are a bore. However, the other two division finals should be much more exciting...

Today's pick: Link over Samus |
| From: GunMage | Posted: 8/28/2003 12:14:35 PM | Message Detail |
An
interesting idea, Slowflake. For some reason, I think if there ever
came a Mario vs. Samus match, the lady in the Power Suit would win in
the 50-55ish range. Some of the reasons I believe this are similar to
why Link was victorious last year. In an all-Nintendo match, the
company loyalties go out the window, and most of the voters will just
choose who they like better.
Of course last year, Mario faced
the full brunt of Square anti-voting because of his close wins over two
of their top entries, and Link is an RPG-like character. I'm not so
sure Samus could get the same amount of support as Link did, but she
could get enough to defeat the plumber. Anyone have other thoughts on
this?

I
think Mario would clutch it out again. I also think it'd be a fairly
low vote total. Anyway, Mario should do considerably better against
Sephiroth than Samus did (at least last year's Samus... but I still
think he's stronger).

cyko's Match 52 Review
(2) Sephiroth vs. (6) Alucard
what
a shocker. Sephiroth blows away Alucard. the only real interesting
thing to note here is that last year, Cloud beat Alucard with 69.6%.
This year Sephiroth beat Alucard with 72.3%.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm............... logic then, says that Sephiroth (this
year) > Cloud (last year). most of that is probably due to Kingdom
Hearts. it's still hard to say who's currently more popular between
Cloud and Sephiroth. both of them are crushing the competition this
year. but if Sephiroth is doing better than Cloud last year, and Cloud
lost to Mario by a mere 177 votes; then we have more fuel to add to the
Sephiroth vs. Mario match.
*pours gasoline on the fanboys and looks for a match*
cyko's Match 53 Review
(1) Solid Snake vs. (5) Ryu
man,
this round has got to get the award for worst all-time pictures.
*shakes head* that Snake picture was awful. (not to mention Bowser,
Samus, Alucard.....) Those 8-bit pictures ain't pretty. anywho, Snake
had a heavy bracket advantage here to offset the mess of pixels
representing him. but a 57.3% victory is slightly worse than Samus's
57.8% victory over Ryu last year. and (stay with me, here) Samus
couldn't handle Sephiroth, who basically tied Megaman last year. that
means that Snake will have to pull out all the stops to make it to the
Final Four.

cyko's Match 54 Review
(2) Megaman vs. (3) Tommy Vercetti
i
want to know who around here seriously thought that Vercetti had a
chance here? i said it before and i'll say it one more time: people
play Grand Theft Auto to kill, destroy, steal, kill, blow things up,
and kill. they don't pay attention to the characters in it, just how
many they've killed. i am amused, though that Megaman had a tougher
time with Zelda than Vercetti. i guess just being in the same games as
Link really does help a character out; which reaffirms my faith in
Megaman's power in this contest. he has already beaten the bracket
voters, so ne still stands a very good chance against Snake.
in the meantime, Megaman has the distinction of being the only character to have beaten characters with rhyming names:
first Resetti and now Vercetti!
cyko's North Division Finals Review
(1) Link vs. (2) Samus Aran
another
rather unexciting match compared to some from the last few rounds.
Nintendo fans show who their number one loyalty lies with, along with
about 25000 brackets. next, though, Link will face his toughest
opponent yet: a leveled up Cloud Strife and legions of angry Square
fans. we'll have to wait and see how much Cloud beats Sonic by to see
what kind of chances Link has of being dethroned.
as for Samus,
it's hard to say if she could beat Mario in a match. right now, with
anti-Mario sentiment at its highest, Samus would almost surely win. but
then again, Mario seems to always pull something out of his
rear..............
cyko's East Division Finals Preview
(1) Cloud Strife vs. (2) Sonic the Hedgehog
here's to my perfect East Division!! the only divisionthat i predicted in my bracket and this topic perfectly.
Sonic
needs 53000 votes to beat Crono's overall vote total. even with the
extra match, he's not gonna do it. i find it rather ironic that Sonic
is an Elite Eight character that will probably be ninth in overall
votes. tell me how that makes sense. Cloud has plowed his way here with
ease and Sonic will only be another speed-bump. Sonic barely beat
Aeris. he has no chance against her more popular co-star. Sonic will do
better than Cloud's previous opponents, but it won't be close. as for
Cloud, he needs another big victory here to prove that he can stand up
to Link.
prediction: Cloud with 63-67%

Scorpion
WAS in the Elite 8 last year, but #9 in total votes. Though you can
mainly blame it on Megaman and his two 90%+ blowouts and his near-win
in round 3.

Today's pick: Link over Samus |
| From: GunMage | Posted: 8/28/2003 3:59:14 PM | Message Detail |
Just
a response to Samberdog and Cyko. Mario's "clutch" ability has only
been visible against Square's heavy hitters. Last year, he mowed down
DK and got whacked by Link. When it's within the company, Mario may not
have all of his fans behind him, and I think that might mean he would
fall to Samus.
Pertaining to this year, only 30 more hours to go...

Yeah.
Link killed Mario because the Nintendo vote was split, and most Square
voters gravitated towards Link (probably because 1.) his games are more
RPGish, 2.) he's not Mr. Nintendo 3.) He wasn't the favorite.
For
Samus to win, she'd have to receive most of the non Nintendo fan votes,
which I guess is possible, but I don't really think she has the
crossover apeal that Link does.

LOL, I just found out how to skip two lines without putting anything in either one!
HOW!? You must tell me!
and
most Square voters gravitated towards Link (probably because 1.) his
games are more RPGish, 2.) he's not Mr. Nintendo 3.) He wasn't the
favorite.
I'd say it was simply because Link is just more
popular. You don't need to rationalize it--Link is just more liked by
gamers, by a very large amount, than Mario is. The RPG bias at this
site probably doesn't even affect it that much; go to any games site
(except Mario fan sites, obviously), run a Link vs. Mario poll, and
Link will very likely win a good majority of the time. Just about every
demographic or fan group subset I can think of would prefer Link to
Mario, and trying to analyze why Link is more popular than Mario is
like trying to analyze why Mega Man is more popular than Vercetti. You
can analyze it, but the reasons are pretty transparent. He's just more
well-liked by the greater amount of people.

36,639 votes against Link's 61,415, and Aeris was ranked at 25,095.
This
year, Aeris was 88.6% of Sonic (50,241 vs. 56,701). Assuming that
Cloud's relative popularity to Aeris is constant, that means that Cloud
is 1.29 times Sonic--i.e., that Cloud will get 56.4% against Sonic. Of
course, that's a pretty big assumption to make, and I consider this to
be a liberal estimate of Cloud's performance against Sonic.
I
think that both Cloud and Aeris' popularity has increased this year due
to Kingdom Hearts, but I don't think Cloud's has moved up as much as
Aeris, simply because he was already so popular. However, if Cloud does
get 56.4%--or better--against Sonic, then that means big trouble for
Mario. Because it would mean Sephiroth has probably improved as much as
Aeris also.
And if Cloud does indeed get close to 60% against
Sonic, like many are speculating, then Link is in trouble. Link had a
ratio of 1.45 against Sonic last year, which means he would have gotten
59.2% of the vote against Sonic. If Cloud can come close to matching
this amount then that means he could be as strong as Link was last
year. However, I think that the estimates of Cloud approaching 60% are
overly optimistic. I expect something on the order of Cloud winning
with 55%. Though I'd love for it to be more.

::pops in for a quick question::
Since
Samus is doing a little bit better than Mario did against Link last
year, and Sephiroth beat Samus, does that mean he will have less
difficulty against Mario?
I would assume yes, but Mario's pulled off some crazy wins, so I'm not so sure. What does everyone else think?

Summer 2003 Contest: 83/104
Vote Sonic! |

i
dont think so. last year link beat seph by about the same margin as
mario, so by that light they'd be fairly even, but last year doesnt
mean squat in some cases. Personally I think Mario/Seph will be close,
like Crono/Mario. The match was mainly a fan-base vs fan-base match and
most people will vote for the same company as before. It'll be close.

JAW DROPS TO THE FLOOR
...<wipes drool from mouth>...
...er, gimme a minute to compose myself.
<puts eyes back in sockets>
WHOA.
Just, WHOA. 64.16%. 64.16%...64.16%.
<eyes pop out of sockets yet again>
Damn you eyes! Get back in there!
<cough>
OK, I think I'm all right now. Maybe. Possibly. Though I am still in
complete AWE of Cloud right now. 64.16%?! That is insane. Now there is no doubt in my mind that Cloud present a very clear and present danger to Link. Two weeks ago, I would've laughed at the thought of that.
In
fact, if--as expected--Cloud's % rises during the day, he can even
reach as high as 68%. A stratospheric number against an elite
competitor--an elite competitor who he is making look like a complete
JOKE. Last year, Sephiroth got 43.3% against Link, and 52.6% against
Samus. Since last year, Samus=Sonic, well...even if this reasoning is
incredibly flawed (which it has shown itself not to be), then Cloud
will easily surpass that 43%.
Now, in keeping with the "linearly transitive" logic--and assuming
Link is equally popular this year as he was last year--Cloud =
approximately 1.8x Sonic. Now it actually appears as if Sonic's
popularity may have decreased...but since there's no apparent reason
for it, it couldn't have decreased that much. So the vast
majority of Cloud's dominance very probably comes from Cloud himself.
So let's decrease that to Cloud = 1.6x Sonic. A character who was 1.5x
Sonic last year would have beaten Link with 52.4% of the vote.
While
I have always discounted the "bracket voters" factor, I now think the
Cloud vs. Link match will be close enough to be affected by that
factor--and, in fact, I would say the match was close to 50/50 without
that factor. I might even have to give Cloud the edge in the match without that factor.
I
posted earlier how if Cloud got 60+% against Sonic, then according to
the evidence we've seen so far he was pose a major threat to Link. I
never thought he'd actually do it though. This is, to quote Papa Smurf,
"Simply amazing!"
I must now concede this: Kingdom Hearts has PWNED this contest

Well,
both Cloud and Sonic are traditionally strong morning-vote characters,
and the morning vote did favor Sonic in his match against Aeris, so I
wouldn't say that Cloud's percentage will skyrocket as the day goes on.
I think Link's victory is quite underrated, though - Samus has gained
more popularity than any other character in the past year, save Squall.
In fact, I would have been very much surprised if Cloud didn't equal
Link's performance in this match.

We have seen no evidence whatsoever, within the framework of the contest, that Samus has increased substantially in popularity.
In
fact, judging by her performance against Link, it can be said that she
is at almost the exact same popularity level as last year. Unless of
course Link has gone up a lot as well, which--judging by the
performance through Tidus/Ganon/Magus--is not the case.
Cloud's victory over Sonic (if anything close to these numbers hold) is more impressive than Link's over Samus.
