% boost, but no change, indeed. This is turning into a pretty fun match up after all. Kirby has gone completely uber this contest. It's ridiculous to think that in 2002 he was so weak that he lost to Jill... The little guy's strength has inflated ^_^

Or Cecil, Tidus and Bowser could just be that weak. :P

Bowser is just not godly like many think he is !

No one thinks he's godly... just strong. His performance on Seph, showed that, and he backed that up with a decimation of Ryu.

No Bowser is still strong. Look if you take Bowser's Spring numbers, it actually portrays everyone else fairly realistic. Going much lower makes Ryu and Tidus look much worst than they were in 2004.

Speaking of Jill vs. Kirby 2002, does anyone have any idea what that picture looked like? I wonder if that had anything to do with it, along with the 3 vs. 14 seed disadvantage.

You know, Kirby seems to rise to the level of his competition annually. He was stronger than Jill in 2003. He might've been stronger than Alucard in 2004. He's acting like he's stronger than Squall here in 2005. Next year, he'll be above Bowser. Bank on it.

Or maybe Kirby's fanbase is just that dedicated. He's gotten about 45% or more in every loss. You know how many other characters can make such a claim? Link and Cloud. That's it.

If Bowser is just that strong, though, at this rate it seems, once again, to argue for the adjustment rather than the unadjustment. I mean, wouldn't unadjusted Tidus put Bowser obscenely low?

The higher Kirby goes, the more Tidus looks like his adjusted value, which makes Mario look really good.

Heck, based off of Spring Contest Bowser, Tidus is now ABOVE his 2004 adjusted value, albeit only slightly.

Yeah, but if the adjustment was correct, that means that Mario is now going to easily beat Samus...and Sephiroth, for that matter.

I meant in comparison to Spring Bowser, which for all intents and purposes has been touted as a GOD compared to his earlier incarnations.

Bah, Bowser's starting to win updates again, though not significantly, so Kirby's percentage keeps climbing.

Wow... you're right... I never took that into mention before. Besides Clink, Kirby is the ONLY character who hasn't gotten blown out... his fanbase must really love him, I know I do.

I might be wrong, but if you were to put every contest character ever, I believe that in a worst percentage category, Aya Brea would come out on top.

And to think I was laughing my ass off when I saw Kirby with a 1-seed. He's very much justifying it, when we think of our expectations.

I can believe that Kirby's fanbase is very dedicated. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the pink puffball the 4th strongest Nintendo lead character? There's the question of Fox and DK but I don't see them ranking higher than Kirby.

Man, I would LOVE to see Kirby/Dante now.

Who else besides Kirby would be the fourth strongest lead anyway? The only competition he has are Ness, DK and Fox. Chumps compared to him.

Yoshi's a side character like Luigi. In my opinion anyway.

Yoshi generally isn't considered a lead character, even with SMW2 and Yoshi's Story.

Indeed, that match would be awful. Kirby is a bit stronger, and I don't mind that, but if the two had to face off, that match just wouldn't be right. I hope it never happens, I love them both.
