why is Zelda so strong now?

The best Zelda game in almost 20 years was released and she had the best characterization ever in it.

What is Sonic doing

And jeeze Zelda

We'll need to see how things go by the 15 minute mark here.

Okay Sonic still sucks

Nice

Anything that makes Geralt look better in the final stats I approve of

Hmm, maybe Auron hasn't dropped in strength at all if he's currently threatening Sonic. Some of us thought that Auron might have lost a little bit of strength.

Could be possible that Sonic's also dropped in strength.

Five minute overreaction: this is an embarrassing result for Sonic.

so who's stronger between Auron and Bowser

After this contest, I'd like to see a retrospective covering what was actually redeemable information from 2013's contest and what was hot trash.

I can pretty easily provide this post-contest, but I'm actually going to need more specifics on what redeemable vs. trash means. Do you mean stats that didn't work but make sense in hindsight vs. stats that failed and still don't make sense?

Writer's choice, bit I think you've basically got it. 2013's x-stats unadjusted are filthy-ruined-bad and five years have passed. I'll be curious to see a review of 2013 after this contest ends to address where things were fairly accurate to pull from 2013 and where information was misleading from 2013 -- that includes both raw numbers and adjusted assumptions.

I'd take Bowser without thinking twice honestly.

Would be shocked if it wasn’t Bowser

Geralt is Legit. Imagine if he was announced for Smash Ultimte earlier this year?

Auron didn't look that bad in the contest, other than the Geralt match, which was probably bandwagon factor.

IF youre trying to reassure yourself of Sonic>Crono now then don't. Crono Curbstomps Sonic.

Or you know W3 being one of the most respected games of the Gen and Geralt being a genuinely Great and badass character.

Bandwagon by who? Geralt was a #1 seed that won matches he was supposed to win. Nobody but stat people would be surprised by him

Damn, the crisis is averted

lol auron got the board vote..never change b8.. now sonic is looking much better if this continues.

So Crono now likely in the top 5 characters on the site?

I think its safe to assume She would beat Both Sonic and MM Handily. I mean Anyone else want to Refute this claim?

Okay, now that bit about Pikachu being the Second Chance Bracket favorite over Mega Man doesn't look so weird.

123 Cloud 4545 62.94% 2553 44.7%
124 Crono 2997 41.5% 1688 29.55%

Second chance brackets favored Bowser against Crono more heavily than they favored Pikachu against Mega Man, and even Cloud was an underdog according to Second Chance! Not only that, but even in the initial brackets Crono was considered the underdog to whoever won Division 4.

That sounds really weird to say. "Crono upset Bowser". Maybe if this were 2002 and we didn't know how strong Crono was, but a Noble Niner being an underdog to a non-Noble Niner...

Sonic gained 1.5% there. Not sure what he needs to end up looking okay.

so let's talk about how cloud was the second chance underdog

Auron looked pretty bad on Sub-zero, a match we’d seen several times before.

Why wouldn't Auron get the board vote? Sonic Sucks.

can we admit thats a badass motherfing Auron photo and a sucky sonic one?

So let's say this now before we start moving goalposts all day long. What end result here is good for Sonic? Auron probably loses to Bowser and Bowser got 45% on Crono.

I think those numbers have to be wrong based on how many brackets have 24/32 points

IMO he needs to beat Cloud first.

Sonic looks like Sonic and Auron looks like Auron.

Ok to what exactly?

He;ll lose Next round regardless.

Pikachu>>Auron

So unless Sonic scores 56+ We can put him behind MM as well.

Sonic is a Fraud

What does Zelda get on Sonic? It's gotta be at least 55%.

Breath of the Wild is f***ing amazing, discards the 20 year old formula they've worn well out that started in ALttP, and Zelda actually has a character in the game (although you'll see people on this website say she's whiny because they completely missed the total suppression of her interests and individuality as a person by being forced to train relentlessly for 10 years, starting right after her mother died, with no room for anything else).

uh oh snake..

oh ZELDA!

she come to town

Bad update for both Snake and Sonic there...

Night vote is going to bail out Snake.

And Auron, probably.

But what are we measuring on?

His ability to keep his N9 status safe?

Becaue that will end when he loses to Zelda. Either next round or the Losers bracket.

Uhhhh

I'm getting my Zelda support music ready.

Damn both of them cut. We might be in for good matches

Snake is a juggenaut in Europe. But he'll beat Zelda Straight up in US. Just not by much.
