Wow, Mario went from around 59% in Europe earlier to barely losing to him right now. The percentages for Europe are pretty unstable right now. I would wait until at least the end of the first hour before looking at European percentages.

On the bright side, 35-36% on Mario would still put BB on a high-midcarder status which isn't too shabby. Was hoping 40% though.

That Zack still lost?

And keep in mind, Crono could actually win against Mario in a triple SFF situation.

Crono > Zack

Therefore, ZackFAQs is so screwed.

It's hilarious that in terms of which game/franchise dropped the most, Sonic Team's no longer in contention. What seemed like weak performances may actually be decent, between Tails impressing against Kratos and Shadow losing to Ama, who then beasted on Luigi to make Shadow look decent. Knuckles is a whole other story, and we'll have to wait and see how Sonic does next round.

Crono beat Mario by a sizable margin in his match. Throw MMX into the mix, I still say Crono would have won.

Zack didn't win in that situation.

Hence, no chance.

Crono probably still wins even if you throw X into that situation instead of Samus.

But the point is that Crono had a better scenario than ZackFAQs did! And Crono probably doesn't beat Zack by that much.

I think Zack will be lucky to break 40%. Mega Man hasn't really looked that bad recently, and I think he's the strongest character outside the top six and still a big step above Sonic and Crono as well as other near-elites like Vincent and Squall.

Mega Man has always had overlap with Nintendo. Could Zack win if Samus replaced him? Maybe, but it would be by a slim margin, and it doesn't really change anything either way.

2008 Crono beat Vincent, who I'd pick to crush Zack before SFF is factored in.

Zack is strong, but you guys are starting to do the same **** you were doing a few hours ago for this match. Mega Man is not Sonic.

red sox 777 | Posted 2/20/2010 9:31:26 PM | message detail
He probably does a bit better, meaning he would win except that Mario pulls out another clutch miracle. Or maybe he'd do better by enough to win, but he 'aint getting near Crono's 57% on Mario. Going through Zack's 30% on Link and Vincent's performance on Link the previous year, Zack gets about 46% on Crono/Vincent, and that's a comparison I've been using since round 2 of 2008 (remember me saying Zack = Tifa and everyone laughing?).

Going from 49% to 53% on Mario by taking out MMX and replacing him with Samus is probably a pretty agressive prediction for the difference between them considering they were in last place and weren't draining all that many votes from the poll, but it's possible and lines up pretty well. Zack being in the 44-46% range on Crono/Vincent makes a lot of sense.

Well, Zack isn't going to beat Mega Man, or even make it a close match, that much is pretty clear. Getting in the low-to-mid 40s should happen, though. Zack is a good ways above Cid.
