I have a feeling Kirby will be getting a lot closer to Snake next round than he was to Big Boss in round 1, leading to hilarious stats.

Heh, I forgot how amazing Jill was in 2002. Best run of the contest - better than Scorpion's.



She won two matches as a 3 seed and got smashed by Link in round 3. I wouldn't call that some huge run.

Also, the South Division was crap. Evidence: The huge-ass blowout that Link laid unto Scorpion.

That aside, it's funny how we were all calling for Kirby's head after round 1, and now THIS happens...

Either the pic factor matters THAT much to Big Boss, or Raiden really screwed him.

We have GOT to get a Snake VS Snake-Kirby pic, and it's a shame there wasn't a Sonic VS Sonic-Kirby pic today. That said...the SSBB-pic is pretty awesome.


So...four-way that feels REALLY weird to say might be good:

Kirby
Pikachu
Sonic
Yoshi

Give me Sonic > Pikachu without much trouble there. Sonic should stand out among 3 Nintendo characters, and I'd expect Kirby and Yoshi to overlap with each other a lot more than with Pikachu.

Match LXI: Link vs. Mario vs. Samus Aran vs. Crono

Last Round:

Link – 40.28%
Mario – 21.67%
Zack Fair – 20.82%
Mega Man X – 17.22%

Seems like Zack to advantage of a weaker Mario rather than X like many of us thought. Zack actually took the lead from Mario and he needed the morning vote to get ahead and the after school vote to seal the deal. Things don’t look good for the plumber with another Nintendo character being added to the poll this round.

Samus Aran – 30.91%
Crono – 25.31%
Vincent Valentine – 25.25%
Pikachu – 18.54%

Crono must have heard that Mario came in second in the last match because he went on a final hour tear on Vincent winning the match by under 100 votes, the smallest win in this contest. Of course after the match accusations of cheating were thrown around though who’s to say that Vincent was completely innocent during the entire poll? I guess all we have is to wait for SBAllen’s word. In other news Pikachu was able to outdo his percent from last year despite the stronger competition, good job.

Analysis:

Why are Link, Mario and Samus all in the same half of the bracket again? At least they weren’t all in the same match last year. Crono is really out of place in this match and the Mario vs. Crono V may not even be interesting this time around. Still it will be interesting by how much the characters overlap with each other. Also would Link be in danger with this much LFF?

Samus will be coming last, during the Battle Royal she was crushed by both Mario and Link. Also both of those characters have defeated her once in a one vs. one contest setting. It should be interesting to see how well she does. Last year she was able to hold up pretty well against Link and was able to defeat Sephiroth, though I have a feeling that Mario affects Samus much more than Link and it will be shown here when Samus is having trouble breaking 10%.

Despite three characters sharing a notable fanbase Link should have no problems taking first. First of all Link is the going to be on top of this SFF fest and second Link is that much of a dominating character that while Crono will perform much better than he should I don’t see him winning after 24 hours. Also eliminating both Mario and Samus eliminates two out of the three threats that are stopping Link from winning the contest.

While in a single battle I would take Crono to lose to all three characters he has lucked out that all three of them are Nintendo. I don’t see Crono beating Link though giving him a scare is a huge possibility. The only thing that I’m disappointed in is the fact that Mario vs. Crono V will not be interesting.

Mario would literally need to pull a Mario like he did in the earlier years to have a chance. Barely beating Zack with Link and X in the poll does not put you in a good position to take on your arch nemesis. For Mario to have a chance against Crono Samus would have to have a small percentage that even though she has more overlap X actually affected Mario more because he had a larger percent and for voters to ignore Link since he should walk out of this match and to throw their support to Mario. I would say that Mario has no chance, but we’ve seen weirder things happen in this contest.

Even though Crono’s win was very shady last round it did allow Crono pretty much a free pass to the finals. I know a lot of people want to see an epic Mario vs. Crono duel so Mario may keep up at the beginning, but after that it should be total Link and Crono domination for the rest of the poll.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Link > Mario

charmander6000’s Prediction: Link – 37.43%, Crono – 27.42%, Mario – 19.42%, Samus – 15.73%
