1) Link was in Soul Calibur 2 on Gamecube versions.


...Which was released before Link/Cloud in 2003.

CJay missed a golden oppurtunity for Gordon Freeman/CATS. Not only fun, but I dont know if I could say with all honesty that I think GF would win that match.

Yikes; my bad then. It shouldn't take away how big a factor LoZ:CE could be for Link gaining though.

That reminds me...I think Soul Calibur 2 was released between Link/Magus and Link/Samus.

Based on Cloud/Samus's pace, Mario/Joanna ought to fall just short of 100K.

Kind of makes you wonder how much of an affect AC will have on Cloud.

....

HM, I took Cloud!! I took Cloud!! DONT HURT ME!!

Mario is fighting to stay at or above 81%. I think he's going to fall in a little though.

You have just killed off the brains of many newbies who probably think what you said made no sense, professor. You're my hero...but I still believe you're talking bull ****.

That's an interesting paradox/oxymoron/what-have-you there.

If you have to dig that deep into the XStats to come up with that, it is bound to fall, HARD. Do you mind telling us what actually comes out of that so we can see how Magus overperformed against Link? (If he actually did..)

No, it's not bound to fall hard. There is certainly a non-trivial possibility it will fall hard, but it is not bound to. The general rule in the scientific community is if a model of a phenomenon does not give acceptable results, use a more complex model. I've attempted to introduce a (hugely) more complex mathematical model. The way to see if Magus overperformed against Link is to see how he performs against Squall. If he did in fact overperform, Squall will win. If he did not overperform and that match was indicative of his strength, Magus will win easily.

I mean, even if he did, he got SFF'd much harder against Crono.

No, if he overperformed against Link, he was weaker than he appeared to be, which means the apparent SFF in his match against Crono would be less.

Probably not much, but Link vs. Cloud is such a toss-up anyway, so every little bit counts.

To be honest I'm still not comfortable putting Cloud over Link.

Could've been my fanboyism clouding my judgement.

But until then, I can always hope.
