I'm almost wondering if Pyramid Head would be doing better. :\


He is from Silent Hill where Chris is from Resident Evil, the more popular series, so I doubt that.

It's on, Link. Maybe.

Cloud, you're officially getting taken off my "guilty by association die die die" list. That leaves the characters I'm rooting for at the following:

Link
Missingno
Cloud
Pikachu (how can you hate Pikachu?)

You do realize that even if Cloud ends up with like 72% here, a case can be made for Samus>Cloud indirectly?

This performance still isn't good, it just probably puts Cloud out of the running for getting upset.

Uh, Link's performance against Alucard is just as good as his Xstat projections from 2004 - Where he beat the crap out of Cloud.

As I pointed out. So no, it was not a so-so performance, Alucard is a legit character strength wise.

This is just (somewhat) of a validation for Ridley, that's why people are in a tizzy. Plus, this kinda shreds the Samus upset... not that I think many were expecting it.

Link being at 2k4 levels - which is a pretty big stretch using that comparison to begin with - would be pretty disappointing for him. That's his weakest win over Cloud, by a fairly large margin.

You have to give something to Cloud here though, assuming he rises as normal. You've got to expect Chris is more a fair margin above Wesker, after all.

[quoted text]

The 2004 XStats? You mean the one where we gave Ganon his 2003 number because Link SFF'd him so bad, the 2003 number that's based on Magus?

Whoops


Characters shift in strength all the time. Magus was legitimately strong in 2003, but CT has, over the years, slowly faded in strength, starting with Magus and being more pronounced with Magus, then Frog, and finally Crono is starting to wane in strength to an unknown degree (he'll never be as good as 2004 where he punched Mario in the face)

Further, I also simmed it with the 2003 stats, which pant much the same picture. No other contest really has Link in it in a way that allows us to see his "true" strength round by round.

Then again, we'll see if I am vindicated in later rounds.

Actually, if you had listened to the podcast, you would have heard I said I believe there is reason for Alucard to have boosted since 2004 given how well Castlevania has been doing, so the fact that 2003-2004 %s are holding true on a character I believe is stronger than they were back then is a good sign for Link.

I would've taken Jill>Chris before this match, and she got 32% on Samus during Samus' worst time.

Cloud getting the same here would've been a horrendous result for him, especially considering that Chris is a terrible character to try and make him look bad.
