it's not like Zelda hasn't held up two times against Nintendo icons before or anything

really surprised at the stats topic going with Knuckles.. like, any of the regs. usually we follow the numbers off the cliff and Zelda had every number in her advantage.

Oh, we writing Sonic off again then? Cool. It's like an explosion of bitterness that you can't treat him as a joke N9er anymore after owning Crono. It's been two years, let it go

I'm pretty sure most of the people here prefer Sonic to Crono.

I think writing off Sonic has to do with how disappointing everyone from that series has been in this format.

i still dont think X would beat Mario... unless he comes up with a hardcore fanbase enough to outbeat Mario AND Zelda (if he does share something with them)

but with Mario already being innately stronger and most likely SFFing him, i just cant see it no matter what happens here.

It's nothing to do with Crono, he was just there. Teh haterz loved to see Sonic be the 'joke' N9er and since he dispelled that they've been on his case.

I'm never going to write off Sonic until he actually loses to a non N9er. He's had more close calls than any other N9er and always pulls something out of his ass.

Knuckles' victory was entirely depending on Mario SFF'ing Zelda. The fact she is resisting that is a pretty big indication that the Mario and Zelda series split the Nintendo fanbase somewhat. Instead of the fanbase going in one direction, it fragments with each character getting the strength of that fragment.

He lost handily to a joke character last year; he's up against another this year. And Auron, who rocked this format. He'll have a fight on his hands just getting to Master Chief.

It's strange, really. Even though I lost points on Shadow and Knux, I still took this very same upset...but I don't feel like flaunting it at all. It just doesn't seem worth bragging about, or something.

Meanwhile the Zack thing I pounce on at every opportunity.

#406 I don't see how Zelda LFFing Mario is that big a surprise.


That makes no sense.

LFF is an independent character benefitting from 2 other characters SFFing eachother. Unless you think Knuckles is getting SFFd and Zelda isn't. This is just her holding up well against Mario like she did against Samus.
Lopen | Posted 9/23/2008 9:43:03 PM | message detail
And Knuckles fell for it hard a mere sub 30 vote gain that time.

The end approaches, o' oversaturatedly red one.

Tough, but I'll be risky for once and go Master Chief > Sonic

Of course, 1v1 I'd pick Sonic over MC.

HaRRicH | Posted 9/23/2008 9:43:39 PM | message detail
Yeah, Sonic Team disappointed in probably every match but Sonic's R2 battle last year, and that was immediately after his SSBB-announcement...and now, between him not being too good in SSBB and (IF IT'S TRUE) Nintendo's drop in dominance here, I wouldn't think it looks good for even Sonic this year. Shadow was clearly beaten, Knuckles looks to be hurting today, Tails getting last is a real possibility, and Sonic will have Sandbag early on and Kirby later on. That's going to be a rough route for him to survive past MC.

L Block doesn't count and Sonic still held off Squall last year. I really doubt Auron is stronger than Squall in this format.

I'm just shocked at the overwhelming bracket support Sonic has for that match. You'd think after Chief's rocking faces last year and Sonic bombing it would at least be more split.

I don't understand why we have a distinction for LFF. It is basically an independent character benefitting from SFF. This is like saying a granny smith apple isn't an apple but a macintosh is.

It's because a lot of people are unwilling to use SFF to just mean overlap, and insist it only refers to the situation where the shared fanbase disproportionately favors one character.
