I'm actually hoping for Crono to comeback on Mario's ass Frog/MC style.

Just to see all the whinings on the board by Mario fans, throwing tantrums and accusations all over the place.

Crono will do to Mario what Mario did to him in 2k3.

MM are my INITIALS "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

But you're conveniently forgetting that Crono is beating Mega Man right now. The same Mega Man that took care of Snake for the past two years!!! And the year that Mega Man didn't beat Snake, Crono himself took care of him!!!

Yes, and? It's been established that things aren't the same year after year. If you disagree, then I'll just throw this at you:

Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

We'll see tomorrow, won't we? Either way it looks to be good; the Nintendo boost has certainly proven effective, but Crono was a full 10% stronger than Mario last year...I don't think Crono's dropped any more than a percent or two, meaning mario has 3.001% to increase by...I think he's got that, but not by much. So I'm thinking 52-48 Mario at the closest. Then again, my current baracket score is 104, I had Kerrigan over Dante, Magus winning his division, and Samus beating Megaman, and then Sephiroth in the tournament of Champions. So feel free to completely ignore me.

ANYTHING but THAT!!!

There was massive vote-stuffing for Mario near the end of that match, I do NOT want either char win through vote-stuffing.

All I want is for this match to be epic, and legitimate.

If Crono somehow manages to win then all the better.

Sonic has ALWAYS been close to Mario...

The only time he'll come dangerously close to Mario is if Crono somehow manages to beat Mario.

Why do I keep seeing adjusted stats with Samus over Mario? Sure, she was SFF'd, but there's little indication that she's actually stronger than Mario now.
---
I once made a sig bet with TRE that Ganon wasn't actually over 31 on BL. The jury's still out on the pigman, but props to TRE 'cause I'm a believer again.

But Sonic was beaten by Samus 60/40, who Mario trashed. Now, how much rSFF do you want to say was in that match, if at all?

Also, looking back on Mario/Samus and Samus/Ganondorf, I'm starting to wonder if Ganon is even stronger than Bowser at this point. I don't think there's enough SFF to make it happen.
---

None, I say she fell by merit of no longer being in the spotlight. Not much, but enough to be less than she was last year.

Samus wasn't as strong as she was last year.

Look at her match against Frog, and compare that to Seph's match against Liquid (who is roughly Frog's equal).

Seph did more than 5% better than Samus did!

Which I've brought up before. You can make compelling arguments for both of them in a variety of ways, really...I'd still barely take Ganon though.

I would take Bowser over Ganon and not look back. Ganon is just so uninspiring...

RIP: Tnote827 - 4/4/2005
SC2k5 - 133/144 (Kefka, Magus (x3), Ocelot, Tidus)

Me thinks Ganon and Bowser have one of those Mario-Samus relationships. (Indirectly stronger, but the weaker would win in a direct match due to SFF)
---
RIP Samus: Mario, you better take down Seph.
Crono vs. Mega Man - Bracket: Crono - Vote: Crono (108/144)

I would take Bowser over Ganon and not look back. Ganon is just so uninspiring...

So is Bowser if you look at it in that sense...

Be aware that Link >> Mario, and that the LoZ franchise has always been stronger than the Mario franchise.

That would lend even more credence to Bowser > Ganon. Even if you set Samus equal to Mario (and I don't believe that for a second), Ganondorf was beaten down more brutally than Snake was, and Bowser was nipping on Snake's heels. Statistically, it's hard to argue Ganondorf being above him this year, let alone logically.

That being said, we *need* to see that match next year.

I seriously doubt Sephiroth would SFF Crono, personally.

There have been some ridiculous statements made while I've been in the shower that I hope aren't sincere. The first being the thought that Samus is actually stronger than Mario indirectly, the second being that MGS2 wasn't (past tense stressed, as I'd believe that is likely to change) legitimately higher than MGS.

I've had my doubts. Not that it isn't possible for it to be so, but FFVII overperforming on MGS wouldn't surprise me in the least.
---

I don't believe for a second MGS2 could ever beat the original MGS in a direct poll, but that's just me. I take the results of the game contest with a HUGE grain of salt, so many things went screwy there...

I believe Mario is stronger than Samus legitimately. that's why I don't like just throwing her 2k4 number in there - 42% or whatever it is seems awfully high.

Nearly a 56% update for Crono there. Ouch.

"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."

And Crono responds with another one.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Samus was solid throughout the entire contest, it's just that she never had any legitimate opponent to measure her strength from before she got to Mario. When the best thing you have is either a potential SFF or Frog, you know you're ****ed. And it's not like Mario hadn't shown the potential against Zero to beat her, especially since Mega Man went out and proved Link SFF'd him (sorry for doubting ya, MM). In fact, the only thing that DOESN'T suggest Mario being an absolute monster this year is his match with Snake through SpC2k5...surprise, surprise...

Damn.. Crono is running away with this thing.. Oh well, Mega Man fought hard for his 3rd Final Four appearance, and at least we get to see Mario vs. Crono IV... Man, nothing can stop that fated match from happening. Not even Cloud in 2k2 or Samus this year. Heh heh.

Hopefully Mega can keep Crono's lead under 2000 but a while, but, I doubt it :(
