are you serious about crono>link? >_______________> |
SlugSh0t posted... are you serious about crono>link? It's Red Sox. Let him dream. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
People
have been searching for this holy grail of Samuel being stronger than
Mario seemingly for over a decade now, but has anything substantial and
concrete ever shown that to be true? The last couple of contests got
real weird, so that whole Vivi thing is obviously off! In any case, Sephiroth is toast, so bring on whatever! (Mario will win before getting toasted by Link!) |
Wait
is Crono>Megaman the expected result in losers? What has Crono done
really since 05 that makes people confident at all in him? LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
LeonhartFour posted... Also, the thing is that you have to predict everything beforehand, so the script for the bracket would be weird because some people would have Link just winning in the finals and ending it there and some people would have Link losing once and forcing a rematch, which would result in more possible points and some people would potentially have no pick to make. Just make the championship match selection choices 1-0 (Winner wins the final) 1-1 (Winner wins in the reset) 0-2 (Losers champ wins title) LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Link versus Cloud posted... Wait is Crono>Megaman the expected result in losers? What has Crono done really since 05 that makes people confident at all in him? Chrono Trigger performing very well in 2015 has people thinking Crono isn't the weakest (or near weakest, at least) anymore You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
I still picked Mega Man over Crono. But given Kirby failed to turn around his 2005 loss to Bowser, maybe? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I get it we don't have a Guru for 2nd chance, but a BOP would be really useful. Who is the guy who made the BOP program this year again? |
Oh thanks! |
@Advokaiser
If you had read my analysis you would have seen that I said that
Vincent was the first to beat a N9er indirectly. Meaning in a multi way
poll. Also is there a cookie cutter bracket for the next matches? And I FINALLY beat my personal best on the contest leaderboard, meaning I am there for a lot of time and I am still there as the final matches begin. Man feels good! So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
I can't enter the second chance bracket...I am afraid of ruining it Somehow this contest has been the best contest performance for me, and I am afraid of making dumb choices because of overconfidence 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Isn't it a separate contest? CBX - Today's Winners: Mega Man X and Sephiroth Score: 196/256 |

The last couple of contests got real weird, so that whole Vivi thing is obviously off! Everyone loves Samuel Snake. The tricky thing about saying he's been stronger than Mario is that Mario's real strength always gets obscured by SFF or LFF, but I don't think he's really looked that good in a while. This is the year for him to regain that 2005 strength though. |
Safer_777 posted... @Advokaiser If you had read my analysis you would have seen that I said that Vincent was the first to beat a N9er indirectly. Meaning in a multi way poll. Sorry, I missed it. Actually, the one I traditionally pay full attention to is KP's before making my bracket. I only see charmander's for fun or reference (since they're right here in the Stats topics), but I don't follow the Crew or the BOP. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
charmander6000 posted... Isn't it a separate contest? Yeah it is. |
charmander6000 posted... Isn't it a separate contest? It is But I don't have a separate brain Anyway, not sure if I should go for different picks or trust in my first gut (I am pretty confident in it..) 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Indirectly doesn't mean in a multi-way poll... Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
So
can someone tell me to end this thing what is the 2nd chance bracket? I
fill it. And then what? It runs parallel with the normal bracket? Or at
the end of it? Don't get it. Should I fill it? Thanks. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Mario
has had three losses, ever, not involving SFF. Two were against Seph in
2003-05 and the other was against Crono in 2004. In every other contest
he has jobbed to Link. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
It's hardly going to end things when there are still 30 more posts. It is a second contest, using the same Legends Bracket that the first contest is, but it fills in the Legends participants for you. Each contest has a winner who will get prize money. If you want to win prize money, you should fill it out. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Everything
since 2007 has been obscured by SFF/LFF, so there isn't much evidence
of anything. What evidence has there ever been of Mario > Samus
indirectly, other than the direct match? September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
UltimaterializerX posted... Mario has had three losses, ever, not involving SFF. Two were against Seph in 2003-05 and the other was against Crono in 2004. In every other contest he has jobbed to Link. Likewise, Samus has only ever lost to Cloud and Sephiroth in non-SFF matches. Crono probably beats them now but was way weaker back when Mario/Samus recorded these losses, so that's a point in favor of Samus.

Samus gets SFFd much harder than Mario, which is why this argument is stupid. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
snake_5036 posted... Link versus Cloud posted...Wait is Crono>Megaman the expected result in losers? What has Crono done really since 05 that makes people confident at all in him? Exactly. Crono the character has had one decent contest since '05 and it's clearly LFF-assisted, but because his game looked stronger in 2015 than it did in 2009, everyone's convinced he's strong again. Even though we have no shortage of characters that are insanely stronger or weaker than their games. For example, as much as we laugh at Master Chief, and as much as we remember Halo losing in Round 1 as a 1-seed in 2004, Halo hasn't done that poorly in games contests and besides Starcraft was wildly underseeded in '04. On the other hand, Kirby has only even gotten one game into a games contest, and that game only once (where it got SFF-hammered by Super Mario 64), even though he's easily a top-20 character, maybe top-15. "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power. He is the one. |
UltimaterializerX posted... Samus gets SFFd much harder than Mario, which is why this argument is stupid. There is only one character who SFFs Mario, and that's Link. There is only one character other than Mario who SFFs Samus, and that's Link. Link SFFs Mario and Samus about equally hard. I don't think either has ever broken 38% on him. Obvious Mario SFFs Samus into the ground when they meet directly. But that doesn't prove anything except that Mario beats Samus directly. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
It's
possible a lesser entry like Bowser or Luigi could HIERARCHY Samus a
bit. We haven't really seen her tested by direct Nintendo very often.
She's fought your off brander that have shown some signs of overlap like
Mega Man and Sonic, and she's fought your mooches like Ganondorf and
Zelda, but I feel like Mario and Link being the only Nintendo that SFFs
her isn't a total given, we just haven't seen her tested much vs
Nintendo yet. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
seriously this contest needs a massive rally to stop the obvious nintendofaqs winners all the time. save time and just skip to a link v Zelda final. it is no less boring dragging it out so long |
red sox 777 posted... Crono probably beats them now Oh, Red Sox. You are in for such a rude awakening my boy. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
At
this point I've given up on coming up with arguments and
rationalization. I've waited 15 years for Crono > Link and it's time
for it to happen now! September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... snake_5036 posted...Link versus Cloud posted...show hidden quote(s)Wait is Crono>Megaman the expected result in losers? What has Crono done really since 05 that makes people confident at all in him? The difference is that, due to his status as a silent protagonist inexorably tied to his game, and CT's 2009 results being about on par with Crono's strength back then, there is actually reason to believe that Crono could be as strong (or almost at least) as his game. |
red sox 777 posted... At this point I've given up on coming up with arguments and rationalization. I've waited 15 years for Crono > Link and it's time for it to happen now! I will say that if Crono is gonna go and beat Cloud, he'd goddamn better well follow it up by beating Link, too. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
Crono
was a top 5-6 character back when CT was a top 3-4 game. Now CT is a
top 1-2 game and Crono should be one revolt against the LAW away from
beating Link. Of course, Link hasn't won anything in years due to all
the rallies, but that's why we need to have him win round 1! September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
Cloud
will always be a champion. And that's something that Mario and Samus
and the rest of these Nintendo characters will in all likelihood never
ever taste. Because always, Link will be better. Though they fight 100
times Link will win, again and again and again. Because he is a better
character. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
Eh I give Mario and Samus credit, they both have main bracket wins to their name. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
Random Thought Do you think a Legend of Zelda game revolving around Zelda as the main character would be good for the franchise, just to change things up alittle? Put her in the front seat for once in a series named after her. Dilated Chemist |
SwiftyDC posted... Random Thought These days? Not sure. Nintendo would get slammed for catering to SJWs even if nothing about the game looks "SJW" besides Zelda being the lead. And then there'd be SJWs saying Zelda isn't represented properly or has flaws (the horror! she has flaws!) so then they would be railing against it, too. I would be interested in seeing what they come up with, though. You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. (edited 11/20/2018 7:13:42 PM) |
you
know by people thinking Crono got stronger he actually did. he will get
a larger % of the bracket votes since more people think he will win.
and in the past that might have been more or less irrelevant with the
current vote totals and the second chance bracket we could be talking
50-100 more bracket votes, for up to 200 on the count, which has swung
matches already. "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
I
am personally in favour of the "let the player choose whether Link is
male or female" option. Link was always meant to be an avatar for the
player, after all. I can't believe I lost the Best Year In Gaming guru contest to some guy named BKSheikah |
SwiftyDC posted... Random Thought Why the hell not? Character Battle X Current Score: 200/256 Time to wake up, Link. |

Too big of a risk, and not really worth it in the long run. They'd get a ton of anti-SJW backlash, risk pissing off the SJWs who were supposed to be happy by not doing it right. I'd be absolutely cool with letting Zelda be the hero for once coz it'd be a nice change but it's not worth the risk. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
Hmmm... I wonder if backlash from a bad Zelda game could hurt Link on this site though. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
I mean TP and SS were both fairly divisive and Link was at his weakest in 2010 and 2013 the problem is that everyone who could possibly threaten him is either Nintendo or is part of an even bigger disaster of a company in Square or Konami (edited 11/20/2018 8:55:26 PM) |
Link was at his weakest in 2003 I feel right after WW. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
Nah, 2003 Link was stronger than 2002 Link. It's just that Cloud became even stronger. |
I
don't think I can root for a bad Zelda game just for the goal of Link
losing in the contest but... what if like, a mediocre Zelda game a year
before FFVIIR came out and was flawless... It could work. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
Or
like, we don't get a new Zelda game for the next 3-4 years or however
long it takes them to get FFVIIR out, and FFVIIR is FLAWLESS. Like,
perfect. An absolute stunner of a remake that retells the beauty of the
FFVII story in HD. Maybe then, Cloud could do it. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
If only Cloud could have joined another major series filled with players who never were exposed to FF7 before! "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
