We're going to be starting Division 7's matches on Friday night, so there's still a small chance Allen could open up submissions for round 3 match pictures before the weekend arrives.

When does Round 4 begin?

Jesus looks like D.Va is going to L-Block it up again despite being up against another strong early vote. She just completely falls off a cliff after the first couple of hours of the match. It's kinda incredible.
No problem!

I'm still not sure how the trends will play out there. Fox should do poorly overnight because Smash is really weak in Europe, but D.Va didn't have a good night vote last round either. That may have been a consequence of facing Aloy in round 1, who dominated the Europe vote.

D.Va didn't have a good any vote last round aside from the opening few hours. Part of me was thinking it was partially the trends of the opponent but Fox is looking primed to do the same.

D'Va is just doing slightly better in the UK, where Fox is only just doubling her. I'm not expecting that much variation from here.

Man I like my Fox > Aerith pick a lot now

Other match on the other hand...
Warning: I'm literally VeryInsane.
How does this match tell us anything about Aeris that we didn't know last round? All it's really saying is that Captain Toad is weaker than Waluigi.
All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

Well a lot of people were thinking Waluigi was getting mass meme votes and that other low tier Mario characters would get beaten down pretty hard

With Captain Toad putting a fairly comparable performance it implies that Waluigi's meme voting was somewhat limited and Aeris is just kinda weak looking.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
Waluigi had reason to be stronger with Mario Tennis and people whining that he's not playable in Smash Bros.

So how would a Ganondorf vs Zelda match go now? Crash beasting seems to suggest that Spyro might be pretty strong now as well. But I don't really know what to make of Chun-Li if that's the case.
This was not the best year for my bracket.
Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest!
I don't equating Crash with Spyro just because they're both PS1 platformers isn't the right way to go about things. Crash has reasons to boost.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Ramza (2013c) VS The Boss (2013c)

Ramza has a strength of 23.40.
The Boss has a strength of 29.49.

The Boss wins with 60.33% of the vote!
A win of 11,143 with 53,960 total votes cast.

-

Ramza has no reason to boost, so unless Squall finishes with a much higher % than Zelda or The Boss is just trash, I really don't see a case for Squall > Zelda.
If all else fails use fire.
Haste_2 11/7/2018 7:22:07 PM#463
I haven't done any calculations, but Zelda probably beats Ganondorf with 55% before SFF. She'll probably beat Squall with at least that much, too.

Zelda for sure. Her getting a big role in BotW while Calamity Ganon being nothing of real substance would ensure this.

I've been on the Zelda > Ganon train since they both first made the contest. The fanbase actually likes Zelda, there's no question about it. There's still a question as to whether they truly like Ganondorf or whether he's the ultimate recipient of series proxy voting.

Definitely Zelda unless there's some dumb rSFF thing going on (very doubtful).

For reference:

Link is stronger than Mario, so Ganondorf would lose worse even without SFF, but you can still see the massive difference in people that genuinely care about Bowser vs. genuinely care about Ganondorf.

Raiden, despite being much weaker than Bowser or Ganondorf (especially in 2004) and fresh off the "oh my god why am I playing as this guy instead of Snake" train, still did better in his SFF match than Ganondorf.

If you want a character that gets proxy voting besides Ganondorf or Zelda, look no further than Princess Daisy.

4-way SFF is wonky and often the character that is losing out gets beaten down way worse than usual as the fanbase recognizes that they'll have to abandon Character B in order to make sure Character A survives.

But yes, Zelda is also a leech. Just not a Ganondorf level leech.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
keep in mind that Ganondorf is only in like 3 games.

-In OoT he calls Young Link a lil' punk-ass then in the future he plays an organ and dies after turning into just Ganon and getting stabbed in the f***in' face

-In Wind Waker he's an actual character

-In Twilight Princess he shows up at the end and takes the "main villain" role away from Zant then gets stabbed in the chest like a b**** after getting played by a fishing rod

every other game Ganondorf is a big personality-less pig monster, or, in the case of BotW, a giant pig cloud that turns into a laser-shooting turd man.

Still a pretty bad killing regardless! Ganondorf is still worse, though, I agree. If you look at matches against Mario and Samus, Ganondorf has done worse with those in the poll than Zelda.

While I'm sure she's plummeted since, I'd guess The Boss overperformed in that 2013 match with Bowser and Sub-Zero where she almost beat the latter. 2000s Sony console character up against an old Nintendo icon and a arcade/16-bit console guy? Makes sense to me that the latter two would have a good deal of overlap.

It's worth noting that Chun-Li's only contest appearances prior to this one were 2005, the 2006 female bracket, and a Round 1 loss to Tifa in 2013. Tifa was probably a pretty bad matchup for her and the female bracket gave us a lot of suspicious results, though yeah Chun-Li did poorly there. In 2005 though, her and Ryu both had direct matches with Bowser and the resulting x-stats suggest she's worth 41.56% on Ryu. It's possible that's actually around her real strength.

I would say Ganondorf's gruesome demise in Wind Waker is at least worth 10 votes. He took that sword right in the face!

I don't know about that line, but since we actually get a glimpse of motivation with his line about the desert winds only bringing death I think WW deserves the milestone.

Also it's interesting that he actually gives mercy to Link and Zelda (at first anyway).

Do the biased admins on this site ever do anything but run Nintendo polls? It’s so god damn stupid.

Not even RDR2 got a poll on its launch day. There was one a day or two later, as if SBNintendoFanboy finally remembered on his calendar that 2018’s biggest game was out.

Almost half the site plans to get it when it comes out, huh.

Technically, a quarter of the site plans to already have it by the time it comes out, and another quarter will pick it up at some point after the release.

Not a whole lot of nuance in that second quarter because it's an Allen poll.

also that original Link/Ganondorf match is a big reason why we need to make sure Ganondorf doesn't win Division 1 because there's only a small chance Link could improve on that original number and we can't have that tainted

it's only second to making sure Snake beats Mario in the semifinal for importance
