If you use Zelda Vs. Vivi then Ezio gets 51.5% on Altair and 45.75% on Vivi.(using Ezio at 37%. He'll probably end higher but he's slowing down so probably not much higher)

Take that with a salt-shaker full of salt.

Ezio = Altair? That means SIMON BELMONT = Liquid Snake. Either that or Zelda has lost a step. One or the other.

Also, my Cloud picture is incredible and is going to do wonders for Cloud tonight.
EternalxCourage | Posted 2/26/2010 2:59:05 PM | message detail
Um. I've always said that Ezio > Altair and he is definitely > Altair imo.

I don't know why people hate on his name; it's a much better name that Altair. Lol.

I don't think it's really controversial that Zelda's lost a step since 2005. Now, since 2008- that's a much harder case to make.

Did you come to this conclusion before or after today's match?

Based on their matches with Vincent Ganondorf > Zelda is the safe bet, though neither would win by much unless massive SFF happens.

Zelda's looked as popular if not more so pretty much every year they've been in together. I would probably take her, indirectly at least.

Zelda and Ganondorf were both a lot weaker in 2007. Zelda probably gives Vincent a good match in 2006, and Ganondorf probably gets the same numbers that Zelda does in 2007.

I have a hard time seeing Ganondorf lose that match. Of course hierarchy arguments are generally all bad, but if I were going to use one, Ganondorf would definitely feel right to me.

Kotetsu534 | Posted 2/26/2010 3:17:51 PM | message detail
After seeing what Link can do to Ganon heads up, I'd take the view the Zelda fanbase, given a choice between hero and villain, will vote en masse for the hero, and pick Zelda.

She was definitely more popular in 2003. Ganondorf just looked strong because he was stuck behind Link/Magus. And if it hadn't been for the Villain Contest she would have looked better in 2005 as well, most likely.

2003? No (LOL Magus)
2005? No, Ganon was on Villains Contest 'roids
2006? Yes (LOL Samus)
2007? No, Zelda did worse on Vincent than Ganondorf did
2008? Inconclusive (LFF was there in Zelda's matches)
2010? TBD

This match seems to imply that Ken and Ezio would have a decent match if Zelda and Ganon are equal or Ganon is stronger. Ezio's projected to get a little more than 51% right now assuming the two are equal.

Hmm, we saw Link vs. Zelda too, in a 4-way. She got killed almost as badly as Ganondorf did, and projecting through Link yields a Zelda win with 54.13%. Well, to the x-stats, the difference between 12% and 13% is pretty big!

LeonhartFour | Posted 2/26/2010 3:21:15 PM | message detail
But really, all those yearly comparisons tell me that Zelda vs. Ganondorf is an inconclusive matter. There's nothing you can point to in any year that says, "Look! Ganon/Zelda is clearly stronger based on this!"

Zelda > Ganondorf in a direct matchup... just doesn't feel right to me. Now, I'm just a casual Legend of Zelda fan, so I could be off-base; but to me, it seems that Ganondorf has a lot more personality. Seems like the fanbase would side with him.

Nope, it's inconclusive. Though it wouldn't surprise me at all if Ganon took that with over 60% directly. I think I've got a pretty good handle on the Zelda fanbase, or at least the OOT fanbase.

ACloud's hair just doesn't do it for me, I think as a kid I was all over him because he looked like a permanent super saiyen, now he looks like a model.
I'd **** him if I was gay, bi or a woman, but would I vote for the guy I'd ****? ***** no, he's just lucky he's up against a lamo like chris.

Cloud looks manly and badass. Stop saying the picture looks homoerotic.
Japago | Posted 2/26/2010 3:52:31 PM | message detail
I would take Ganondorf. They're so close in strength that I would go with who more people would like logically. Ganondorf is the main villain, while Zelda is the princess you save. I think people would side with the main villain.
