I had Altair, I changed to liquid, cs i could see him beating vivi or going close, yet i couldn't see altair going toe to toe.
Screw you visions of the future, you lied to me.

Duke won't beat Charizard. Pokemon has a crazy fanbase altogether separate from anything else.

Also, Altair beats Vivi and loses to Kirbz, in a close match.

What the...

...I had a bad feeling about Altair when I realized he and Ezio each had two-seeds, but I just thought Altair would give Liquid a better match if that really meant anything. I didn't expect him to come out pounding him. Let's see how this holds up, though you gotta favor Altair in the day-time, ASV or not.

Part of this is a big boost from AC2. Otherwise Zack is already projected to beat Vincent and is still rising.

That's what I was thinking. I had a feeling this was going to be a bad matchup for Liquid altogether when I saw that it was a day match. He doesn't stand a chance.

Also this means great things for Ezio -- his character design is even cooler, and his game was better received.

I've been saying all along that Zack is the strongest non-N9 character. He's beating Mega Man this year -- you heard it here first.

Yes it did last year but he choked. He had ample enough time to be around where his general strength was. You don't just gain because of appeal randomly.

Makes you wonder how strong Ezio will be if Altair boosted this much from a game he didn't even appear in...

He'll be weaker than Altair, but it looks like it won't be by as much as I originally thought.

Arthas is going to have his way with Kefka nicely.

Also, these are things in my bracket I think that will take me to the top of the leaderboard (and maybe even win me the contest.)

Altair > Vivi
Zack > Mega Man
Zack > Master Chief
Sora > Bowser
Sora > Charizard
Ezio > Zelda
Ezio > Ratchet
Ryu > Dante
Ryu > Leon (Gotta love SFIV boost.)
Aeris > Auron (lol Curt)

Everything else should be pretty normal though.

Yeah, I got this match wrong (wasn't daring enough to switch to Altair when I realized he had a chance in the last few days before lockdown), but this match argues strongly for 3 different ideas I support: Zack being strong, the Deboost hitting Mario characters hard, and new games being able to cause big boosts when the character doesn't already have a lot of games.
