I'd say this is more on Big Boss dropping in strength. If Ridley had boosted, then that boost should have been enough to keep him stronger than Crash. And yet Crash has somehow managed to surpass Ridley in strength.

You're kidding right? We've seen Smash dominate this contest and now Ridley is supposed to have gained nothing from that?

Well, there was reason to believe Red wasn't super strong because he had an absurdly favorable path in 2013, and we've already seen him not look great in 2010.
That was quite the cut there. Wow.

Ridley being stronger doesn't mean Crash didn't boost more or that Big Boss didn't drop.

Why is everyone this contest trying to explain all matches by insisting at least one character was constant

*checks results; comes in thinking Kefka's match would be the most volatile one*...

HA! Kefka's match is the least unreasonable one.

Remember, Leon, when you said to me that Crash wasn't going to boost because of the N Sane Trilogy?

Cecil's somewhat redeemed, I think...

Peach > Yuna is gross no matter how strong Alucard is

not to mention Alucard winning the division makes Peach look strong too

Alucard is SFFing Yuna. Next contest Yuna will be criminally underestimated as a result.

Alucard winning the division would be badass though.
No problem!

In Crash's defense, that was the first time his series had done something of note in 10 years and the first time it did something good in almost 20 years.

What a weird set of matches. You have Big Boss looking like an absolute trash pile, this weird Sora/Red matchup, Alucard making a case for winning this division, and Kefka with a reasonable and expected result.

huh, he said that?

remakes and stuff don't necessarily boost characters but the n. sane trilogy was pretty freaking big. if you're even casually following game news you should know this!

So, did Bomberman never reach Europe or something? Because seeing Kefka win even in the UK is rather odd.

I'm still not convinced n. sane trilogy boosted crash, myself. Combined with Ridley this is looking mostly like a Big Boss drop. Of course, Crash did beat Cecil and is projecting for stronger than Ridley so he did boost but like, that could be any amount of random things and not necessarily a game release.
No problem!

I have to say, Alucard destroying Yuna makes me happy. When was the last time Alucard won a match he was the complete underdog in? I guess the Magus match?

Was he the underdog against Magus? He shouldn't have been if he was.

Crash Bandicoot seems like one of those game series that people probably never bothered to replay again after playing it originally back in the 1990s when those games came out. So a compilation provided the perfect excuse to go back and revisit those games again. The compilation might have also helped jumpstart the nostalgia machine for the series.

Yeah, I thought he was favored there because Magus was coming off losing to a bag of sand.

Pretty sure he was the underdog vs Magus because of Magus vs Ganondorf and Ganondorf 57-43ing Alucard (yes I know that was forever ago but people don't forget)

According to the guru, he had 57% of Guru brackets, so not quite underdog, but certainly debated

Alucard was the favorite vs. Magus in 2010.

However, Frog vs. Magus was the favorite against Alucard and Dracula in Rivals a year later for some reason.
