Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1087

Unlike Magus in relation to Crono in terms of taste, Wolf should be crushed by Fox; it will be very disappointing if he is not obliterated. That *should* allow Fox to get through was my rationale, as long as he doesn't get judo flipped by Blue on the Nintendo SFF pecking order.

Nintendo SFF is well documented, heck even the 2004 Crono/Magus SFF doesn't look as bad once you take into account Magus was weaker. Mega Man 65/35 Tidus so Crono would have likely done something similar pre-SFF.

I wonder if Magus doing good here means he will do good in the next round too...thus dragging Crono down more


Magus ain't doing good though.


Considering the fact some people here believed he would lose to Otacon,getting almost 60% on him sounds fine!
#304 | Xuxon | Posted 8/1/2013 10:00:23 AM | message detail
how badly do you think Crono will crush Magus? 80/20 maybe? i definitely see Wolf doing worse than that.

It's Magus and Otacon relative to Jade that has people saying this is bad!

I don't think we can predict how bad the SFF will be until the match happens. Different fanbases have different priorities. Who knows how the Star Fox/Nintendo fanbase feels about Wolf as a whole?

Same with Magus! We haven't seen him in a match with Crono. For all we know he'll hold up better than Ganondorf did against Link.

I think it was more of a we believed he 'could' lose to Otacon. Make no mistake, looking at Jade's percentage here, this performance sucks.

I dunno part of me just felt that Wolf should be able to hold up well enough on Fox to let Blue sneak by. I also felt that Blue was gonna have some legit strength on his own though, so that probably makes me different anyway.

The only thing good you can say about Magus here is that he isn't losing.

Hey man Yuri Lowell is probably the best character in the entire contest. At the very least he's arguably the best RPG character in the contest. There aren't many Tales of characters in the contest anyways. Nobody from the latest game released in NA made it in despite the increased number of characters.

Given that Xenoblade has 3, I don't think Tales getting 4 is that terrible.

Especially since all 4 Tales characters would probably beat any of the Xenoblade trio.

Is there any indication that a character getting weaker also means he will get SFF'd much harder?
Crono already put 70/30 on Magus

I dunno but I don't think that it's only Magus that got weaker..many people care less about Crono Trigger so when they see Magus they prefer to other character,but when Crono VS Magus happens that the fanbase 70/30 split will be the same?

It's possible, but what I'm going with is that their declines differ in that Magus's seems to be sharper. Leads one to believe that people care much less about Magus than they still do about Crono, which should make the SFF sting more. At least in my (hopeful) opinion.

It *should* actually be more severe, although it's been nine years since that match so the Crono/Magus split may very well have changed radically since then.

Magus is almost assured to get SFFed harder than he normally would, though. Unless Pikachu is never even close to being in the match (which would be really pathetic for him), CT voters who would normally have voted for Magus will start voting for Crono to try and save him.

man Shulk wasn't that awful. he's at least in like CATS or Kerrigan's league. Welkin Gunther would probably lose to him, and Caim definitely would. Caim might even lose to Reyn.
