If Kirby can keep this up, Sephiroth is going down. Doing better on Crash than Sephiroth did on Spyro, and no way Spyro is much stronger than Crash.


Snake 2003 did 7% better on Raiden than Link did, Link no longer Noble Nine tier


HEH HEH HEH.

Who expects GlaDOS to win that poll anyway?

It's either gonna be Ike or the horse.

Woo 89 points!

Thanks to that Big Boss victory, I might finally make it back onto the leaderboard again sometime during this round hopefully haha. Unfortunately ? Block's loss is gonna cost me some points, but oh well.

IMO, to have a chance at being called a midcarder, you either have to beat another midcarder in a fair fight or put up a good enough percentage on a near-elite or Noble Niner that you can't be denied. I for one don't consider Raiden to be a midcarder yet! Best he's done so far is beaten a Link-SFFed Yoshi and finished ahead of Yuna in the RR vote-ins.

IIRC someone said that Raiden wasn't fodder before the match with Link and Yoshi. I'm pretty sure that eating the a** end of SFFed by against someone under consideration for the fodder line makes you guaranteed to be fodder yourself.


You have no idea what being fodder is. Link isn't weak enough to let fodder score 27% on him.


If the fodder line used to be at around 22% on BL and current Link is around 47% of BL, then 27% of a slightly-SFFed Link could conceivably be borderline fodder.

Which just lets us ask, does the fodder line move with Link or is based on BL.

Hilarious thought: At the end of this contest, everyone except for Jak and Chie will be below the Draven-based fodder line. Maybe Link can also avoid it, but unlikely.


I guess it's possible that Raiden boosted, but yeah, even Link can't avoid LFF completely. All I know is, Raiden's never beaten anyone of value, and he got SFFed by the Boss in the 2010 vote-ins. She's a midcarder now, but at the time we weren't so sure of that.

Yes please. My bracket needs that so badly. Took Ike fully expecting it to be a bad pick if Epona beat Mordin.

I may very well end up supporting whatever comes out of Divisions 1-3 in the finals if that happens, even if it's Draven, because all of a sudden I feel really good about my Guru.

Yeah, no way is there a comparable amount of SFF here. Hell, is it really more than between three characters most famous for being on the PS1? Probably not.

Also, Kirby has beaten a Noble Niner before. Believe.

Personally, I think 2008 Sonic is stronger than current Sephiroth.

Well I mean usually bracket voting drops off after the first two updates. Elizabeth held strong for like 20 or 25 minutes then started plummeting.

Kirby's going to have a pretty sizable lead on Seph at the freeze.

There's going to be panic, and it's going to be hilarious.

Great performance from him so far, seriously. And I do expect good things from him next round; he never does better than when he's sticking out like a sore thumb. He doesn't compete in these contests as much as he lovably-yet-successfully stumbles through them, "Swee'Pea from Popeye" style.

Elizabeth is killing Crash here. Crash would obliterate her in a neutral match. Of course there's a ton of SFF. You're in denial.

The two characters are icons of completely different things, and act as such. Sephiroth probably has more overlap with Spyro.

Anyone who thinks this is Crash's natural strength is deluding themselves or ignorant of matches we've seen like this in the past.

I'm not saying that Kirby can't put a scare in Sephiroth but it's not because of this vs Seph and Crash. It's just Kirby being Kirby and exploiting standout vs Big Boss and Seph

Why is that so crazy? Because Crash snuck by a less popular character from a less recent and less popular game? The fact that Crash didn't beat Wheatley by more if anything helps Elizabeth's case.

For the record I'm not saying there's no overlap, but it's not as big as PS1 overlap.

Well looks like I was wrong about Big Boss>Luigi 1v1, very impressed by Luigi! Curse you once again silly bracket, wasting good characters.

Now we just need Nintendo to turn Year of Luigi into Decade of Luigi, then Century, then Millennium. Luigi will overtake Link as N's #1 green mascot.

There is something I don't get though
It's pretty obvious that Morrigan>Elizabeth
But what does it say about Crash vs Spyro?

If we say that Crash is worth only about..53-47 on Spyro,that means that Morrigan isn't that stronger than Elizabeth..which would mean that Kirby having a 52% on both of them (like Sephiroth did) means he is doing pretty fine?
I'm pretty bad at this math so if someone can really say what it means in relation to Sephiroth it can be great!
#449 | Achromatic | Posted 8/23/2013 2:39:27 AM | message detail
Kirby is almost certainly showing himself to be a clear step down to Sephiroth.
