I doubt Zidane beats Zack after what he did as well, but at least there's *some* chance of the fanbase abandoning him - with Shadow it's as good as over.

Zack beat wario by ~11%

Ness beat Zidane by ~6%

Do you think Ness could beat Wario by 17% in a 1v1v1v1 situation?
smitelf | Posted 9/18/2008 9:51:58 PM | message detail
Zidane will not beat Zack. Can you see Zidane getting 44% on Wario? This match is evidence of Shadow's weakness and Link's ability to SFF anything that's ever been on a Nintendo console, not of Zidane having any strength of note.

Zidane was SFFd in his match, and Shadow is being SFFd now, so...no.

Zidane might stand a better chance of beating Zack than Shadow based on what we're seeing here, but those chances are still really low. It's an easy match for me -- stick Zidane in Zack's place yesterday. He has to beat Wario by more than 11%. I could have seen Zidane winning yesterday, but he ain't doing anywhere near that convincingly.

And then -- cameo or spin-off -- it's FFVII vs. FFIX. No contest which way the SFF goes there.

Despite Biolizard claiming this to be obvious, I admit to being surprised

I think Biolizard's the only one who wasn't surprised.

This doesn't necessarily have to be SFF - or, I should say, enough SFF to tilt the scales back in Shadow's favor. Shadow was *terrible* last year, if I must remind people. Yes, people rationalized it with very convenient explanations - but the fact that said rationalizing was needed at all should have already been a very big hint. There's a reason I almost took this upset, but IT TURNS OUT I'M A DAMN FOOL ALSO THIS PROVES LUIGI > LIQUID IN R2 BOOK IT

well when you look at the updates by time its pretty clear what's happening

Links been steadily increasing at shadow's expense.now link just had a bad update and Shadow gained 3%(in that update)

yeah,Link's sffing Shadow quite considerably...didn't think Sonic fanbase had fused with nintendo this much overtime.

Knuckles/Yoshi wasn't obvious enough? Or Tails = The Boss?

I just figured Shadow was strong enough that the SFF wouldn't bring him down that far. Guess I was wrong.

I picked Zidane and the reason I did so was because of SFF.\

I'd be kicking myself then. I initially had Liquid winning that one, and it remained my most "really has no logical reason of happening but my gut tells me something fishy is up" match throughout the prediction period.

HaRRicH | Posted 9/18/2008 9:59:28 PM | message detail
Dude, Zack almost beat Wario by 10%. Zidane needed LinkSFF to beat Shadow. Whichever of these 2 losers gets to the second round, they're going to get smoked. Either Zack is going to SFF Zidane to oblivion, or Link is going to dod the same to Shadow. The only one that can stop him is if Niko ends up being a powerhouse.

1) Zack won by 11.55%...which is better for your argument. I figure you'd like the correction.
2) Zidane is certainly not going to be Cecil. That doesn't mean Zidane will win, but he's still not a laughing matter.
3) With percentages like these when Link's in town, it'll be a matter of who's got more hardcore votes. It's only an hour into the match right now, but Zidane's percentage right now is really impressive compared to the ~19% against Liquid/Alucard/Ness or the ~23% against Crono. Zidane should go down by the end of the match, but this is still looking good for the hardcore fans.

I'm still thinking Zack > Zidane or Shadow, but Zidane's capable of having the hardcore fans to hang in there and the FF-loyalties could be interesting to watch.

Fair enough, but I honestly think the SFF theory is more plausible than Shadow having fallen that far so quickly for no apparent reason. Just because we didn't think of SFF before doesn't mean it's not what's actually happening (remember L-Block? Yeah, we all saw that coming...)

Shadow was at... Tidus level in 2k4, and look at what happened to Tidus. Then we didn't see him for three years. That's plenty of room to fall, and then there's Sonic characters stinking up the joint in this format.

Honestly if Chief hasn't lost a few steps since last year, I can't see Sonic pulling it out against him.

look at these percentages per update

Link,Luke,Shadow,Zidane in order


58.50%

8.56%

15.08%

17.85%


_____


63.40%

7.37%

10.46%

18.77%




the SFF is as clear as it can be.the other characters are fairly constant while Link and Shadow increse or decrease at the expense of each other(mostly Link doing the increasing part obviously)
