Well Link has dropped a ton beginning in 2010 too. As Link and Mario go, so goes Nintendo, you could say.

your 7 time champion, Link.

Missingno. has a good chance to beat Squall I think. And if Red also makes it into the next round, does that mean that Vivi will have a chance to go to the final 9?

But I don't think Mario really looks that bad here. I mean, I've had him 2-3 points below where everyone else has had him since 2008. This performance is still consistent with that view of Mario, with a Vivi boost and a bit of rallying. LFF hurts.

Get past L-block and Charizard? One rally after another, I guess.

Yep. Pokemon might be Nintendo, but it fits less in with them these days than ever. Pokemon is clearly GameFAQs's infatuation right now, which is why more than anything else, Pokemon could produce the strongest new characters and win most matches. You could put a random RBY Pokemon in a match and it probably beats many of the 'traditional' characters that were popular here before.

Pokemon's oversaturation in this bracket seems to be its downfall though.

Mario fended off Zack, who was worth 31% on Link directly in 2008, with Link and MMX in the poll. How much are you willing to give Vivi on Link?

Yeah, I was going to mention Link, too. He hasn't looked real great in a while either, but there's just no one else up there anymore so it's not as noticeable. If Square still had pull on this site, they'd look pretty crazy, I think.

Theory: Wii-U has spawned more hatred of Nintendo than ever. Mario stands for Nintendo.

Only goddamn explanation I can think of.

this was Snake's year, damn you reddit
#317 | red sox 777 | Posted 8/29/2013 2:51:39 PM | message detail
Hmm. Against 2008 Link......well Vivi got doubled by Snake that year, so probably no higher than Zack.

Let's assume for argument Vivi's boosted since then, and gets 55% on 2k8 Zack = 2k8 Mario with Link/MMX now. Assume next that Mario wins 51/49 without rallying. So we need 6 points more damage from Link/MMX than Ganondorf. I guess that's workable.

But this analysis is way too generous to Mario, yeah. All the assumptions were in his favor. Still, I don't think he's fallen off the map. A small decline.

Is this a thing that could actually happen, or just something that people want to happen based on the craziness of this contest?

If Snake can beat Bandwagon Squirtle I'll feel pretty good about putting him over Link. Maybe even placing Snake as a Top Five Character on the site!

Oh and..Lightning?
Do you prepare to rally more characters? because I want to have inside info on my expert challenge picking


Not for a few days because two back to back risks saturating and annoying people and only if its in a situation /v/ can get fully behind a single option. We'll definitely be picking someone for the final and definitely won't be doing anything for missingno (Reddit might) but I don't know about the others.

Snake's up there if he can stomp a Pokemon, especially a bandwagon/rallied one.

Well if he can beat Bandwagon Squirtle he should be able to manhandle Link 1v1 no problem, but there's a lot of other Pokemon on the site y'know so better play it safe and make him just Top Five

Well, Zidane's obviously boosted from 2008 by a ton. If he didn't Squirtle looks pretty awful.

They anti-voting FFVII is what I expect. They need to learn that they troll more if they help Sephiroth win the whole thing here.

Ugh, Vivi is really going to win this huh? I thought the rallying would die down, and it did for awhile, but it looks like they're keeping up.

I really hate this contest now. 4chan rallying in a close match is fine because something has to break the tie, but it gets tiring to see Reddit's or 4chan's character of choice get THOUSANDS of votes and pull off crap like this.
