Unless you mean Ryu Hayabusa, then Zack might be a tiny bit higher then him But Street Fighter Ryu? Totally different league --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

uh..ok what exactly proves that Ryu SF is on a "Totally different league" from Zack? i think people are underestimating Zack here. |

I think you're overestimating Zack. The guy's done well, no doubt about that, but he's not in that league yet. --- CB7 Score: 204/272 http://www.rosebride.com/lyn/otakon2k6/chronotrigger.jpg |

Crono, Vincent, or L-Block Out of those three, only Vincent and the SUPER block that have a realistic chance to beat SFF'd Mario. Crono is going to get stomped hard in Link/Samus/Mario/Crono tbqh but why think about Vince and the block when Crono is going to beat both of them in the Quarter anyway giving Mario a free pass to the final? (yea right) and I don't think Samus is enough for Cloud > Link to happen, not if Snake is in the final (which is very likely). --- Kweh!

Ryu is out of Zack's league? Zack got a bit over 22% against Link,
Duke, and Altair. Ryu got a bit under 24% against Crono, L-Block, and
Amaterasu. L is far stronger than Duke and Ammy is probably stronger
than Altair, but the large margin between Link and Crono should make up
for that and more. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Would Ryu have gotten 23% in Zack's place yesterday? Not that it matters, of course. (static fanbase Zackfaqs believe) |
| YoAriel33 | Posted 11/5/2008 9:46:40 PM | message detail |
| What we've seen so far suggests Zack hits 30% on Link. Ryu shouldn't do much better. |

Link > Crono, but L-block and Amaterasu
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Altair and Duke. Once again, I think people are underestimating JUST HOW WEAK division 1 was. Zack was basically the "Not Link" option. He's legit, but he won't be beating any top 20 characters any time soon. 2006 Haybusa is his ceiling. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

Crono is going to get stomped hard in Link/Samus/Mario/Crono tbqh you're joking right? Crono advances very easily there. Mario won't be even close and Samus will be looking like Jade Curtiss. |

I assume you mean 45%, but Ryu hasn't done that against a Noble Niner

From: paraboxx | #060 Easily. It was 2 lower mid carders, and Link. This is what I'd project if Ryu was there: Link - 45% Ryu - 27% Duke - 16% Altair - 12% --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

Albion is right for a change. Zack benfitted from having turbofodder
competition in every match, and being a Final Fantasy 7 character in a
poll with Link. He was "Not Link" so to speak, since the rest of the
characters in division 1 were worthless. Seriously, when the third
strongest character in a division is Duke ****ing Nukem, you know that
it is a pretty weakass division. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere... I want it more than I can tell! - Belle http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3949/beautyandthebeast21024uh9.jpg |

I see some serious Link underestimation in this topic. Prediction: Link
fails to SFF Mario and Samus badly the next 2 rounds, while Cloud
dismantles Snake and Sephiroth, leading to lots of Cloud > Link
hype, before Link wins comfortably in the finals again (but closer than
the last proper Link/Cloud which was held on the day TP came out). --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Mario/Link/X SFF will make Zack look stronger. Zack will stand out like a sore thumb there. I know, that's what I meant. He should do a lot better relative to Link than previous rounds. I bet he avoids being doubled by him pretty easily. |

uh its triple nintendo SFF between three noble niners anyone with ..say, top 20 strength would advance in that fourpack (assuming not nintendo as well obviously) |
| BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 11/5/2008 9:52:58 PM | message detail |
| It's entirely possible he'll fold under the
increased competition though. If he wants to be seen as legit, he has
to score more than 30% relative to Link there, something that people
around where I think he is should have no trouble doing with all the
SFF flying around. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere... I want it more than I can tell! - Belle http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3949/beautyandthebeast21024uh9.jpg |

Not really. He and Vincent were close enough already in the 2k6 stats,
Link/Zero SFF is just the straw that broke the camel's back in that
situation. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere... I want it more than I can tell! - Belle http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3949/beautyandthebeast21024uh9.jpg |

And going back to the Link/Duke/Altair vs. Crono/L-Block/Ammy
comparison: it may not seem that the gap between Link/Crono is larger
than between L and Duke, but because Link and Crono (especially Link)
are pulling in more percentage, they matter more in terms of its
influence on the match. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Crono and Link LFF each other but not by all that much in fact back when it was one on one Crono got a good result against Link (was it 37%?) |

are pulling in more percentage, they matter more in terms of its
influence on the match. That's like saying Link/Jade Curtiss/Tanner is stronger than Crono/Mega Man/Sonic because Link is pulling in more percentage and is clearly stronger than the other 3. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

Except you know, that Link wouldn't come close to breaking 50% on
Crono/Megaman/Sonic, and that Duke and Altair are way stronger than
Jade Curtiss and Tanner. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

I suppose that Division 1 can be compared to thye Southern Division in
2002. When you have it that one of the strongest characters in the
division gets destroyed, something's wrong. Division 1, just like 2k2's
South Division, is a weak-ass division. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness Now we must duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop! -Dimentio, SPM |

According to last year, this is the rank of who's more impressive in withstanding Link's SFF: Mario (37.9%) > Crono (31.2%) > Samus (30%) so I don't see why Mario will lose to Crono under Link, unless you think that Samus will hurt Mario that much more than she will hurt Crono. hey, at least we're probably gonna get a Mario/Crono classic there especially with CTDS drawing very close at that date (yeah, go away Vincent and Block!) --- Kweh!

Need to see how well Mario does next round before saying anything about
the semis, not that it'll likely matter with the Block there. It all
depends on if he can hold up as well as he did last year. I think he
can, but it wouldn't be all that surprising if he can't. --- http://i33.tinypic.com/2s0xn3o.gif http://i34.tinypic.com/15wdsu0.gif |

| Now you're just throwing things out there. Bidoof stuffing has no effect whatsoever on the Link/Vincent percentage, and Zelda being there could in no way help Link against Vincent. You could just say you don't trust last year's matches and be more credible than that. |

Yeah, I don't know, I don't really think judging Zack through his
performance against Link is a good idea at all right now. Zack's wading
through a division of fodder. Guy beat only beat Wario like 60-40 by
the stats, do you think Wario would only be 60-40ed by guys at around
30% on Link? Yeah, didn't think so. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 3 - Dante/Leon/Kirby. Target: 48%. Robot LFF/SFF from Raiden? I THINK SO. Believe |

I don't buy Wario being able to hang with the likes of 2k6 Ryu
Hayabusa, and I don't buy Cecil dragging Zack down enough to put Wario
too much lower. Honestly give all of Cecil's percent to Zack then you've got about the proportion I'd expect SF Ryu to get on Wario. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 3 - Dante/Leon/Kirby. Target: 48%. Robot LFF/SFF from Raiden? I THINK SO. Believe |
