F***ing figures that the one year I go all in for Pokemon is the year that Crono, Mega Man, and Zero are top three in strength.

Fun with stats!

If Lloyd Irving = Kratos Aurion, Zero beats Pikachu with 57.5% of the vote.


Where's Crono at on Zero?


Depends on the year. Can't use 2010 for obvious reasons, there's a Missingno in the way. If you assume Crono = Squall, Crono gets 58.2% on Zero in 2010 and would be projected to score 64.5% on Pikachu.


So using that high-end 64.5% on Pikachu, and looking at Fox/Wolf, how much better at holding up to SFF would Magus have to be than Wolf in order to even give the rat a chance?


Using our new high end of 65.5%... a lot, but that's because Wolf is really, really, really bad. Magus would probably have to hold up better than he did in 2004 if he wanted Pikachu to win though if that projection is valid.

Crono with Old Square boost.

Zero doing this well is a bad omen for the blue bomber come round 3. At least we've seen Crono bring the SFF hammer on Magus in the past, whereas Zero has refused to have none of that SFF crap.

Eh, Mega Man's brought the hammer down on Zero when he lost to that Cube. Zero still held up better than most, though, which is what cost Mega Man the match.

Mega Man just getting a natural boost could solve that, though. Raw power helps a lot in SFFing, it's very unlikely for instance that Mario could have scored a 60/40 beating on Samus in 2004.

Kind of shocked that Kratos is holding up as well as he is against Boko. Still only in the double digits!

At least that might make me feel a bit better about being wrong here.

Welp this battle didn't take at all long to be over!

As for:

Lenneth Valkyrie
Claptrap
Weighted Companion Cube

I sided with Cube on this one as Lenneth is relatively unknown outside RPG circles and people HATE Claptrap. Cube gets massive points for always being thought of fondly by the people that have played Portal.

It would be so funny if yo finished in second behind someone with all the same pokepicks as him but took Blue > Drake.

Yeah, WCC is an easy pick for 1st. I've got Lenneth at the moment for 2nd which is a sign for everyone else to bail to Claptrap based on my track record in this division. I'm going to toss that match around in my mind a lot, especially now that my confidence has been shaken in this division.

That would be pretty crazy, as it would mean Pikachu would have to win a Pikachu/Sora/Blue matchup.

Time to take this Crono hype to the next level. I was going to ask if we could find a way to use this to get Crono out of Crono/Cloud/Snake. Then I realized I didn't have to.

Man check out this scrub only getting 55% on Pikachu.

Zero is absolutely beasting this match. There's zero chance in hell he loses next round unless ? block or Rikku really impresses.

And this is a really bizarre outcome for Kratos, Lloyd, and Pikachu. Unless Lloyd boosted, wtf is going on? How did Big Daddy fall from getting a decent percentage on Tifa to losing to Lloyd?

I admit, this is actually the first piece of evidence that looks very good for Crono.

One also got Borderlands 2 while the other one hasn't had anything since 2009.

Lenneth's only result is getting blown out by Rikku in the Female Contest, which barely means anything because it's the Female Contest

Claptrap looked better than that but still pretty weak vs. Zidane, and I don't know if he'll be stronger or weaker since then

And then there's Inanimate Object LFF to consider

Yeah but one is the only person/non-object AND the only Japanese character.

I mean, Lenneth Valkyrie is a disaster pick no matter what, but there's a good argument for her sneaking into second.

#86 | FranzyvonKarma | Posted 8/15/2013 10:04:48 AM | message detail
Also there's no way Lenneth wasn't SFFed by Rikku.

I mean, she's still going to be weak because Lenneth Valkyrie but she could be stronger than Claptrap even before variouis xFFs that could favor her and I wouldn't be shocked.

Like we've been saying for three years, Big Daddy was revenge-voted in mass numbers. Tifa/Big Daddy took place directly after Sephiroth > Missingno.

Big Daddy becoming more irrelevant since then didn't hurt, either.
