SNV | 85.31% | 14.69% | 3288 | (22:00-24:00)


Board's got it all wrong. Anti-voting Link only makes him STRONGER. You must vote for him in droves; then he gets complacent, slips up, and all of sudden Cloud is victorious.

Then Link trashes everyone next year because Square always wins.

That's probably done so people could have an equal number of characters for a mock strength bracket, not a suggestion that they really wanted to see it set up that way.

Confused by this result unless Zidane/Kuja is taking in some rivalry factor vote, or MM has lost a step from 2010 (I'm not buying 64% on Cid, 62% on Zack, 72% on Ryu H, 41.5% direct on Mario translate into 67% on Zidane). Zidane has to be a nuisance by underperforming one match then overperforming the next. Oh well.

Zidane's first round match is meaningless because we have no data on Meat Boy/Dr. Fetus. Take the latest x-stats for Zidane and Mega Man, and this result looks just about right.

Batman's strength here would be primarily from the Arkham games, which I'm sure are pretty strong here, and then from his movies. Everything else would be a drop in the bucket.

He'd still lose to Link. Hell, Link would double Jesus.

I don't think that would necessarily happen.

For example, they could be on the same side of the bracket.

Less than 2% of Batman's strength from the Arkham games, let's have *some* sense of realism. Most of his strength would come from him being the most popular American character of the entire century - seriously, why do people keep ignoring this fact?

He is the *most popular American character of the entire 20th century* and is today more popular than ever. And it's a popularity contest. Doesn't take a genius to realize he's be Uber - capital U.

And Jesus would be low midcarder or fodder. Only doubling Jesus would be pretty damn embarassing for Link!

Also I'm not fond of this performance by Mega Man. Expecting Link to blast past 70% on him next round.

Wily is really hurting him I think. X/Zero would beat the snot out of Mega/Wily.

#94 | bospsychopaat | Posted 11/28/2011 2:17:11 PM | message detail
Link probably wins against any other character, but an all fictional contest would allow more characters (like Batman, DV) who can come close to him. And who knows, depending on when such a contest would occur, for example, the new Batman movie just got released, some hype may carry a character to victory. Just as a ffvii remake could (not saying it would) carry Cloud to the top spot.

This isn't too far off of what I was expecting. After seeing Terra/Kefka's overperformance, and Cecil/Golbez do good, it's clear the old-FF crew got a sizable boost from Dissidia and Dissidia 2.

The best part about this is after you account for Zero/Wily strength difference, this puts Bartz/Gilgamesh not too far off from Zidane.

If anyone is the Mario of comic books it's Superman. He's an American icon. He wouldn't beat Batman, but if anyone's iconic it's him, VH1 ranked the biggest pop culture icons a couple years back, and Superman was #2 overall, with the next highest ficitonal character being Mickey Mouse at 17.

I'll agree Batman would be the "Mario" in the contest as in he's the most iconic and should win the contest annually.

But there's one difference. Batman would make Link look like Gordon Freeman.
