Yeah I'd be really surprised if Tails wins this, but this is bad news for Altair. Ezio is supposed to be stronger than he is

Yep, this means GoW3-Kratos was pretty strong I think (I am *so* calling this match for Tails if he can win during the board vote)... and that Ezio tanking against Simon Belmont wasn't a fluke! Hahahahaha oh man Zelda you got anti-voted hard Edit: this post looks stupid now!

Is MGS5's lead being referred to as Snake, too? I could see him boosting either way even though it's not him, but what they refer to him as may make a difference.


He is being referred to as Punished Snake. For all intents and purposes, he will be almost exclusively called 'Snake'.

Not too difficult a match here but some of the top tier brackets do get it wrong. -8 (48 points) tier and better all stay above 90 and the middle tiers are able to stay in the 70s.

No one fell off the Top 49.

It's a long way from being able to beat Ezio to how high Tails would be if it was legit. Like... beating Knuckles good.

If this holds so far, using a constant Tails, Ezio scores 40.77% on Charizard.

Edit: Already needs an update! Ezio is now up to 42.34% on Charizard.

Snake is also far more relevant today than Cloud or Link are; MGS5 looks absolutely amazing. Square is crumbling and LoZ is not the earth-shattering series it once was. MGS stands tall.

Lastly, I don't think Sony has ever been as popular on this site as it is now, that can' t hurt Snake.


Snake has been pretty irrelevant to gaming since MGS4. That doesn't matter much as far as contests go, but MGS and Snake aren't more relevant today than Zelda. FFVII and Cloud, for sure, though.

...you do realize Kojima said Solid's gonna be back for another MGS, his enhanced strength that's gonna come from MGS5 aside?

#491 | ZFS | Posted 8/6/2013 9:22:09 AM | message detail | (edited)
I'm not sure what that has to do with being irrelevant since 2008? That was his last game, that was the last big MGS game, up until MGS5 was announced. That's a good five years off most people's radar. Again, that doesn't necessarily mean much for GameFAQs, because we're seeing characters much older do better than they ave, but if they argument is relevancy, Snake hasn't been it in a while.

More specifically, Snake or MGS isn't more relevant than Link or Zelda. I think people are kind of looking for anything, or any reason, they can to come up with the result that puts Snake over Link. Link's probably finally suffering anti-votes and a greater amount of people realizing he does, in fact, win all the time! Snake might look better right up until a match with Link, but I'd be surprised if he could actually seal the deal. When it matters, Link tends to get it done.

Okay I'm gonna stop making these projections considering Ezio keeps going up. Just, uh... know this match started out making non-bandwagoned Charizard look good and is now making him look really bad.

Edit: (makin' a lot of these) How bad? Based on her match with Ezio last contest, Zelda is expected to break 55% on Charizard with ease. I don't believe that's gonna happen but still!

...eh... I'm still highly doubtful, but Link's never actually beaten someone who's looked better than him in a contest run (2003, 2007). All the other years he's flat-out just looked better - he'd have lost to Cloud in 2010 if FF7 hadn't fallen off a cliff, too! If next round Snake can't come close to Link's percentage on Alucard last contest, sure, call it a pipe dream. I'm hoping otherwise obviously.

Has Snake even been in a game since MGS4 (assuming his voice in Rising DLC doesn't count)? At least Link has gotten new games since then and even Cloud has gotten both Dissidias.

I still however feel that MGS is a more relevant series now than Zelda and FF, although that rests almost entirely on the MGSV announcement.
