Unless of course Red and Ocelot are beasts and X is going to break 40% on Link.

Man, the only elite Hayabusa has ever faced is Snake and we can't trust that. Chief has faced one elite in a fair match by in 2k5, which resulted in...

...Yeah, I'm just going to say "if Mega Man get 69% or higher than he is the favorite" and call it a day.

Mega Man is not, will not, and should not be the favorite against Mario, no matter what he does.

Two matches against two relatively unknown FFVII characters and then a possible sprite round overperformance? Color me inconclusive.

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.

Eh. Samus could probably pull a Seph/Samus in that match and be perfectly illegitimate to be honest. Link suffered from anti-votes past the First Round, so I see no reason why Cloud and Sephiroth shouldn't either.

Big cut from Zack there.

Looking at Zack/MMX trends, Megaman is currently projected to end this at 60.25%.

If you're implying Mega Man = Sephiroth then that means Mega Man beats Mario easily!


Clinkeroth deboosted! Mega Marimus boosted! Mario > Samus > Mega Man > Link > Cloud > Sephiroth!

Mario > Link is happening, people! You'll soon accept the truth once Samus beats Cloud!

Looking at Cid/Mega Man trends would probably be a better idea.

Again, 4 ways are a lot more friendly to hardcore fanbases.

Buster Sword > Yuna

Mega Man > Obscure FF7 characters.

The Asia results are pretty surprising so far. Zack killed it in Asia last year, even against MMX. He's barely winning there right now.

...okay, the discussion of this match has degraded from fun to idiotic. I see way too many people trying to predict other results like Aeris or Charizard or whatever based off of this without realizing how incredibly easy it is to go in the exact opposite direction, and how many inconsistencies it creates anyway.

But if you ask me, I think it's more likely than not that Zack still breaks 40%. Cid had a lot of trouble rising for an FFVII character, while Zack has dominated the FFVII Total Domination Zone like no one else.

Oh man, it'd be hilarious if Mega Man went back to kicking Snake's ass like he did pretty much every year until 2006 when Snake returned the favor with a huge ass-whooping his way that continued to the four-ways.

Mega Man's last match before the contest was him barely losing to the Cube because of Zero while Snake laughed at him. Like how Snake channeled his badassedness after almost losing to Bowser into newfound contest strength, Mega Man is doing the same here and is readying himself for the next contest where he'll crush Snake and beat Sephiroth once and for all!

Okay, let's work with that.

Assuming Zack ends with 39.19%, that means Duke gets 31% on Mega Man. Which means Charizard gets 43.36% on Mega Man. Which means Sora gets 52.58% on Charizard.

Or something. 2006 Mega Man feels like an aberration at this point.

Karma Hunter | Posted 2/21/2010 9:44:36 PM | message detail
Seph/Samus 2k7 only happened because the focus was on Link/Cloud - as opposed to, say, Snake/Seph 2k6. Seph put up a measly 35.6% on Cloud when his votes were needed (to say nothing of the 2k8 debacle), but he was able to push that to 41.5% in the Royale. Samus did well for herself there primarily because she avoided so much Link SFF - but she still has to prove she can punch Clouderoth in the face and wound more than just their pride.

Also, assuming Zack ends with 39.19%, Yuna gets 32.44% on Mega Man and 43.89% on Cid (Cid = Aerith = Zelda > Aerith = Yuna?). Cid gets 47.15% on Zack.

Zack sucks in polls and always has, and Cid was horribly overrated. Yuna is horrible as well. What good match has she ever had outside the illegitimate female stats? This is all easily explained, and anyone looking at this and starting up Mega Man > Mario hype needs an IQ test.

...wow. Saying "Zack sucks in polls" and to a lesser extent "Yuna is horrible" is as profoundly idiotic as Mega Man>Mario hype.

And Mega Man>Mario hype is pretty out there, so that's saying something.

Nah. Both he and Black Haired Cloud have proven to be failures... and when theres as many characters as FFVII has to begin with, the characters that don't live up to the standards set should be left off.
