I'm a bit torn. On the one hand, Samus has historically been just no good with SFF (although she did manage to SFF Zelda last contest). On the other hand, Sonic characters have, especially recently, proved AMAZINGLY susceptible to Nintendo SFF, more than actual Nintendo characters. Samus tends to overperform in these setups so I'll lean toward her doing so, ZSS and all.


Link vs Sonic 2010 says otherwise :P

I think Sonic was SFFed pretty hard in that match, actually...

Or is that a "haha Sonic is actually weak" joke

ZSS should be known now so it shouldn't hurt Samus at all.

Nothing like the fiasco last time where everybody was "WTF is this?!?!" at ZSS.

Remember that time when people took Knuckles over Yoshi because they thought Samus being there might give him the match.

I was one of those fools

The only reason Zelda would lose to DK is some bizarre SFF situation where Charizard leeches Zelda harder than DK.

I can't imagine this happening since DK gets leeched by EVERYONE within Nintendo. He'll be an easy third place.

Missingno should be stronger compared to last match (Pokemon look stronger this round, 'quote' factor, day match)


Squall/Missingno is a night match.

Thankfully.

Pokemon's already artificially charged, and now that ridiculous swerve for Missingno's match pic is making me even more paranoid than I already am.

Then, what happened with Falco? I thought Falco would hold him down in his match with Lightning, but now I'm convinced that didn't really happen...

I don't know *how* I keep botching the day/night split it's a wonder I'm doing as well as I am. <_<

But yeah, unless there's a radical change in his trends Squall's ridiculously sick Euro-dominance is probably gonna be enough to stop even a hypercharged Missingno cold.

Eh. Knux=Sub Zero so far if you want to even compare Samus trends. Doubt Knux will recover like Subby though.

Got a feeling that Ezio can finish second over L albeit barely. Should be a fun midcarder brawl even if Auron wins it easily.

This is what I have. Admittedly, I'm not sold on it. My thought is that Auron will SFF a number of Ezio's "badass" votes, sapping away any chance he has at pulling second place.
