Cid is more on Yuna's level, if not weaker anyway. Are we looking at the same match...? Or is one of these results illegitimate? --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

From: MarioSuperstar | #050 She and Zack are probably close in strength, just Zack got the SFF to go his way from being in a game higher on the FF heiarchy. --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/02/13twop_02.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli fanboyism |

Mario > Link! Samus > Cloud! Mega Man > Sephiroth! Now that's a Top 3 worthy of being a Top 3! --- Not Wylvane |

I doubt Zack SFF'd Yuna much at all. The match was too close to indicate any disproportionate overlap. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |

I
think it's safe to say that Zack SFF'd Yuna a fair bit. She's not as
weak as she's made out to be, but Zack will take back some of that
percentage. Enough to make Cid/Yuna arguable. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 |

She and Zack are probably close in strength, just Zack got the SFF to go his way from being in a game higher on the FF heiarchy. When has this ever happened to the degree that match ended up in? Even if you assume Yuna = Zack, she still drops pretty considerably.. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

can someone please tell me when Mega Man was ALWAYS a step above Crono
and Sonic? Despite having indirectly lost to one, and directly losing
to another? --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

I don't think Zack finishes above Cid. Zack's probably got a much better early vote, which hurts his growth potential I for some reason thought Cid got 33% though. Turns out he got 37%. "Huh" --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

will see him as the favorite over Bowser/Sora. I'm already readying my

Cid had such a hard time cutting percentage during the power hour. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |
RPGuy96 | Posted 2/21/2010 9:25:43 PM | message detail |
Actually, I bet I can! Mario/Big Boss, Big Boss/Kirby, and Sephiroth/Kirby (round 1, with Sonic) gives Sephiroth 42.58% on Mario. Sephiroth got 46.34% on Link in 2007 before Cloud showed up to smush him. Ergo, Link gets 45.94% on Mario! CHOO CHOO --- It makes about as much sense as Mega Man > Mario, anyway |
EternalxCourage | Posted 2/21/2010 9:25:51 PM | message detail |
Are we looking at the same match...? Or is one of these results illegitimate? This match is going to change drastically throughout the night, and it's with Zack having a simple face pic that looks nothing like Cloud. Take the pic from the first match and put Mega Man up against it and you get a completely different result. Zack is, unfortunately, a character that is heavily pic reliant. If you don't think that's true that's fine, but it makes a lot of sense if you think about it logically. That said, even with a huge pic disadvantage Zack will likely hit 40% and you can assume Yuna >= Cid from this result. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 2/21/2010 9:26:39 PM | message detail |
Charizard/Kratos is basically going to be this: *board vote* *rest of the match doesn't matter* Zard is going to KILL with that board vote. Kratos would need to be a good bit stronger than Charizard to make it up from there, and I don't see that as possible. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/21/2010 9:26:41 PM | message detail |
With
all this Nintendo domination, decent performances by newer Western
characters, old-school FF characters like Cecil and Kefka kicking ass,
and FF7 laying an egg, it's pretty safe to say that this contest is
****ing awesome. --- Not Wylvane |
MarioSuperstar | Posted 2/21/2010 9:26:41 PM | message detail |
And you guys realize Zack looking bad makes Duke look bad, right? It seems like everybody but Kefka from that area seems to be bombing left and right. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #066 After what I'm expecting Charizard will do to Kratos, I think most people will see him as the favorite over Bowser/Sora. I'm already readying my "this is ALL KRATOS SUCKING" defenses. If Charizard dominates, all is good. If he doesn't looks so good, we fire up the GoW3 hype excuse and Charizard still looks good. Hell we can use it anyway to make Char look better! Not to mention pokémon release date on the day of the match. --- WHOO WHOO! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 2/21/2010 9:27:35 PM | message detail |
Zack
looks nothing like Cloud anyway! The only thing they have in common is
the Buster Sword! And he already proved last year he performs about the
same with or without it, considering he had three matches with Link. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |

Using Zack's 30% on Link, and assuming this ends at 61-62%, where does that put MM on Mario using good stats? --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 |
Lopen | Posted 2/21/2010 9:27:53 PM | message detail |
Also
Mega Man > Mario is definitely not a Samus tier upset. I know that's
what Ulti was hinting at, but it just doesn't work there. I won't take Mega Man there but yeah. Mega Man is no Samus. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

The pokemon release day thing is the scary part. Sora's normally pretty beastly in a day match. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |
KamikazePotato | Posted 2/21/2010 9:28:52 PM | message detail |
Anyway, this is two rounds in a row where Mega Man has exceeded expectations by around 6%. What do you think he needs on Hayabusa/Chief for the upset to be possible? --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Using Zack's 30% on Link, and assuming this ends at 61-62%, where does that put MM on Mario using good stats? 61% puts MM at 38.46% on Link. That's higher or lower than Mario depending on who you ask. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |

I've
gone back to feeling positively awful about Charizard/Kratos. Niko
looked horrible. Altair proved his R1 match was just Liquid fluking,
and surely boosted from AC2 on top of that. Now Zack is looking dreadful
here. With my luck, we're about to find out that Sonic Team has
actually been on the rise this year (Shadow being the harbinger of
things to come). My thin ray of hope? That's right. Kefka. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Well, use Chief round 1 2007 through Yuna/Zack, that's the strongest Chief could be. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 |

he almost beat freaking Sephiroth anyway? --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

And Pokemon doing well across the board...? Because I'm really going to take Missingno as a representative of Pokemon strength. What do you want me to give you - SFF matches with 'dorf and Banjo? Charizard is obviously strong, but it takes a lot to be an elite character.

Mega Man actually gained percentage that update. Only a small bit, but still. I'm really interested in seeing Samus/Cloud now. It will really give us an indicator of how strong the likes of Mario and Mega Man likely are and how much, if any, FF7 may have deteriorated. --- Not Wylvane |
