All I keep thinking is that Crono beat Zidane worse than Cloud beat Ridley and where on Earth does CT/FF9 SFF come from.


2k5 match that is before Crono's decline and before Dissidia.


Granted. But Crono was never anywhere near as strong as Cloud. You need the anti-votes/Cloud drop/Dissidia boost to make up a ton of ground there.


Ridley jumped from 16.01 to 27.45 due to that Cloud performance. We were never going to be sure if that was legit or not until after this match.

Ridley's still got an outside chance if Zidane's being fueled by being the bracket/board favorite (err... is he?). I like Zidane so far though.

Way too early to call this for Zidane, even if winning consistently in the first updates is a pretty decent sign. Both are just tearing up SBD's percentage right now.

Oh man, Zidane looks like the favorite according to the guru stats... which is quite surprising to me, considering what Ridley's projected to be at. We all just think that Cloud performance was fraudulent or no one wants to trust Ridley?

Then you probably shouldn't be saying anything at all.

Which is pretty general and, by the way, still true. Also, in addition to your logical fallacies, it isn't over as of now.

I think people just didn't want to take Ridley to win any sort of debated match against an actual character. We still have more faith in Ninty fans than that.

If Ridley can keep this in the 300-400ish range, a comeback isn't out of the question. This should basically have the same trends Ike/Proto had.

Neither did I (formally, anyway, though we've obviously internalized certain aspects of it so that's not 100% true)... but the rest of the board did! Also, Ridley put up about the same number as Captain Falcon on Cloud, so this more or less suggests Zidane could beat Alucard... which I don't think anyone outside of the most fanboyish bracketers would take.

For what it's worth, this match is making Ridley's performance on Cloud look fairly legit.
