Man, this "hardcore fanbase" theory has to be one of the biggest busts in contest history. Nightmare has 23% on Snake. How much would he have in a straight match? 24%? This contest is insane.

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.

Laharl held up fine IMO. He did what was expected and if there ever was a rematch I'd officially take him over Vyse. This is absolutely disgusting for Vyse, how is he barely gaining on Rayman?

Nightmare having decent strength was fairly obvious, I have to say.

I'm pretty sure he's weaker now than he would've been a couple years ago, too.

Nightmare was the rally winner that everyone (including myself) expected to bomb, too. Him and Mewtwo are the only ones worth bringing back.

Yeah, I think Nightmare's performance is perhaps looking better than it really is because of Vyse's total self-destruction here. And people were predicting a close match! Vyse will be lucky to come within ten percentage points of Nightmare.

He ripped it out of Tingle's face.

What's this everyone stuff? Did a *majority* even expect him to bomb? I highly doubt it. Plenty of people figured him to be decent.

He's overperforming my expectations a little, but not by much. Not to any surprising extent.

If he had struggled with Vyse here I would've been floored.

No, pretty sure that was Diddy Kong. How right we were, too.

So... when Tifa went on to beat Vyse by almost as much as Cloud did and people made theories about it and such, I guess maybe Vyse was already just starting to suck a lot of ass at that point

Yeah, 2k4 would've been his peak when SC2 was still hot. We should've seen him then, hell he should've debuted during the Villians Contest.

Yeah, we really need a new fodder-border character now. Vyse has obviously dropped below his own fodder line.

I seriously can't believe how horrid Vyse is looking here. I think this is proof that Skies of Arcadia is completely forgotten now. And I don't think Skies ever had a true 'hardcore' fanbase like Disgaea or Earthbound.

Man, this "hardcore fanbase" theory has to be one of the biggest busts in contest history.

Indeed. It had already failed pretty much completely, this is just another example.

Nightmare has 23% on Snake. How much would he have in a straight match? 24%? This contest is insane.

I don't know where you get that exactly. He'd get closer to 30% 1-on-1 probably. A couple years ago it would've been substantially better too, with Nightmare probably being stronger, and Snake weaker.

Wow, I thought the Soul Calibur series was the definition of an ensemble cast; this is really surprising. I wonder to what degree Kilik or Cervantes or Raphael could match this. I really can't see them being that much weaker than Nightmare, unless I'm more out of touch with the SC fanbase than I thought (although I suppose this match points to that).

I think Kratos Aurion should be the new fodder line. He's around 20% on BL.
