Charizard, Missigno and Tifa are the main offenders. Link/Mario and Mario/Mega Man didn't help things.


Missingno only affected Yoshi and probably not very highly. His performance against Seph looks quite legit.

Tifa wasn't an offender at all.

Zard looks to have boosted prior to the Bowser match. Easily accounted for.

The main actual problems are SFF, and day/night effects, as red sox said. e.g. Obviously Cloud gets at least 71% on Falcon in a 24 hour match and Link gets a couple points higher on Thrall and Alucard in a 24 hour match.

The percentage cuts have started. They will not stop (hopefully) until 8 AM.

I'm sorry Link, for rooting against you.

Hell, Tifa's actually probably underrated because she probably would've done at least a point better in a 24 hour match, since she's better at night.

No. If you want to find an offender between the two, Vincent is the more likely case. Unlike Squall suddenly shot miles ahead of him for no reason

So this year, after adjustments, looks like the NN is the closest it's been in a long long time. If Crono = Missigno, and Mario >= Snake/Samus, everyone except Sonic the Failhog are likely within 5% of eachother, and the top member is within 5% of Link.

Sonic may still be within 5% of the bottom of the group, though not likely.

God damnit Link. You SUCK. What is this?! I thought you'd get 58+% here! I was afraid you'd hit 59%! Jesus. The one time I root for you to get higher in Link/Cloud you pull off this embarassment.

Well if you're not gonna get 57% then have the decency to fall under 55% please.

you know link is too strong when getting only 57% on the second strongest character is a disappointment.

That's what most concerns me about this. If Cloud still looks as strong as ever despite Snake, it doesn't really show Link as this unstoppable juggernaut that is just wasting space in the contest, which... he pretty much is in 1v1. Snake isn't going to get any higher, and I don't even think FF7 remake would boost Cloud over Link, nor can I see any new character come close to Link, including Lightning. No jokes are going to touch Link in 1v1 either.

So I want Link to crush Cloud hard, not just because I like Link more, and not just because I want Mario to look fantastic in the x-stats, because I actually want Link to get the hell out and for the winner of the contest to actually be in doubt for once, even if Cloud wins like we all expect.

Outside of the Samus match (and now the Sephiroth match), Tifa has never looked as strong as Squall/Vinny. Vincent was likely SFF'd, but Tifa's performances on Gordon and Big Daddy just scream overrated to me.

I ended up predicting 55.30% here. I was a little worried since I saw quite a lot of people going high on Link here, but it looks like I could have a decent to good prediction here.

So as an absolute best case scenario, Cloud leads when the sun rises. Good thing his day vote is better than Link's.

You mean the trends that say that Cloud should have gained more than .19% from the board vote by this point? I think you're overrating the ffvii trends here.

Noone's arguing Vincent was SFF'd, I'm saying that Tifa/Sephiroth was funky and overrated Tifa's half of the division by a couple of percentage points.

Well there is the problem where Tifa hasn't had the chance to look good, her only true year if you don't include this year was 2005.

Squall (2005c) VS Tifa (2005c)

Squall has a strength of 35.16.
Tifa has a strength of 33.57.

Squall wins with 52.26% of the vote!
A win of 4,595 with 101,617 total votes cast.

Not a stretch to believe that Tifa could bridge the gap.
