Cloud > Young Link in 2k3 with 51.61%
Link is (currently) beating Young Link with 90%
Snake got 45.40% on classix Link yesterday.

Snake predicted to get 89.81% on Young Link
Snake predicted to get 63.51% on Cloud

Clearly Cloud overperformed yesterday.

By quite a long way.

"I've been telling you for five years that Cloud's win was tainted."

Hes still been the second strongest character in every contest besides that and the crappy four way ones regardless.

Wait yeah wtf. By classic Link I'm thinking of the ones from like the first game through ALTTP with brown hair. OOT Link is hardly classic.

Just got home. Lousy stupid early Snake vote %#@%&!! :)

Saw the bonus poll. Seems like the poll ID skipped 3307 and went from 3306 to 3308, so the updater didn't see it. Changed that.

IMO Classic Link is SFFing Young Link very heavily here. I think without Classic Link in the poll, Young Link might actually beat out the other two, even though he's doing Tanner-level bad here.

I gave Ike based on Pikachu while Arthas is based on Alucard. My reasoning was that Pikachu and Ike were LFF each other. I guess I could go based on Arthas, again any input is good.

Ike is obviously much stronger than Arthas.

Fun fact: I initially had Link>Snake in my bracket, then later changed it when I realized how silly it was (not that it would have helped, this has probably been my worst contest year yet).

Basing Ike on Piakchu really gives him far too high of a value with Pikachu beating L Block who came close to Crono. The Pikachu in round 1 wasn't the same Pikachu later on

Ike is stronger, yes. But Nana over Arthas? It just seems like characters he doesn't care for he tries to find the worst possible stats for them.
