Looks like Zack's gettin' the ASV so far. He might hit 58%+ by the end of this.

From: charmander6000 | #400
Didn't Zelda get like 44% on Vincent in the next contest?

I honestly think that the near elites would get pretty close to what Ganondorf got in 2005. Before SFF.


Which I think says more about Vincent than it does Zelda. That's the year he beat Crono, after all. I'd expect Zelda to get 45% or so on Crono, which ain't bad. She got 46%+ on Snake in 2005.

Hrm.

I think Zack will break 60%, all joking aside if he does hit 60 I dub him the legit favorite to beat Mega Man.

Against Yuna? No doubt. Zack's not that strong, and I don't think anyone's saying he is.

Many (if not most) people here would take Vincent or Squall over Mega Man, though. I don't think Zack is so much stronger than Cid as to actually challenge MM, but I wouldn't be surprised if he equaled Sora's performance from a few years ago.

Yeah, I'm not comfortable with Zack getting that close to Vincent, Auron, Squall, Sora, or Tifa. Not that he'd crumble against any of them (well, maybe Vincent or Tifa to a degree, though today shows he probably wouldn't do too bad anyway), but that's another big step up both in strength and the Square-totem pole.

I would also take Vincent and Squall over Mega Man -- but I think that Zack is about the same level as those guys. Zack was really impressive last year, and I think that this year he's going to show more of the same.

Does anyone know what kind of pic it is next round?

Also, why is it so out there for Zack to maybe be on the same level as them? Assuming that the girl bracket thing was out of wack and Zelda 'overperformed', Zack could be really strong if he hits 60.

I don't see how you can just push to the side the idea that Zack could, conceivably, beat Mega Man.

Also what is wrong with talking 'seriously' with me about the contest? I mean, you wonder how trolls are created on this board when you guys act like this.

Also I find it weird that people are even considering a Kirby upset over Sonic -- considering in the last 1v1 Luigi beat Kirby and then lost with less than 40% against Sonic. There's no way that Kirby makes up that much ground.

Four ways are very different, and there is no measuring stick for Lightning so it's really hard to gauge whether or not Sonic has actually lost much ground at all in 1v1s.

RivalHotshot | Posted 1/26/2010 1:13:38 PM | message detail
Yes...what about it? Because Shadow didn't do well Sonic has to drop? I think the only character in the Sonic team that has consistently done well is Sonic. Knux had those battles with Snake, but that was before Snake became a monster, and I actually thought Cecil had a shot at beating Knux (outside of course, but w/e.) Other than that we only have Tails who has never been so great.

I'm not sure if you are overrating Cecil or underrating Knuckles.

Before four-ways Knuckles was a high mid-card, heck even in four-ways he was still a mid-card. Cecil on the other hand has showed no reason to be higher than high fodder.

Given how badly Cid did, going Lightning = Cid and giving Sonic the benefit of the doubt isn't all that crazy. Sonic is one of those characters I'd have to see end the NN streak before I stop giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Wario's performance on Zack was a result of Cecil stealing some of Zack's support (Square is Square, even if it's between old and new, and Cecil's proven he got SFFed thanks to Knuckles I think). Zack is also probably SFFing Yuna just a touch, though it could be completely negligible.

Assuming Sonic isn't the weak link of the Noble Nine at this point is...well, not a good idea. Cid really didn't end up doing THAT badly by the time everything was said and done. He got 37%, which is around the middle of the pack. I doubt Lightning is a middle-of-the-pack character at this very second.

Yeah, I actually agree with this now. I used to say that Zack didn't LFF Cecil last year, but after Cecil nearly beat Knuckles (You can't blame ALL of that on Knuckles dropping; it's not realistic), it's hard to deny it.

Stop ignoring me; I'm seriously curious. In this assumption we are giving Sonic the benefit of the doubt that he is still stronger than Mega Man (there's no reason, really, to believe that Mega Man gained on Sonic for some reason). Where does this put Zack against Mega Man??
