In 2006 we had Steroid Snake vs. Villains Contest-effect Samus. Samus stomped. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
I'd feel better about Sonic if his result against Auron wasn't bad, but it is. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Let me repeat that, Samus Aran, whose list of characters she can SFF is Ridley and Mother Brain, also includes Snake. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Lopen posted... Zelda losing to Sonic wouldn't surprise me that much Are you seeing Sonic right now bro? Zelda got 60% on Squall. Squall and Auron are basically the same strength. Zelda finna Lay. Down. The. LAW. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
I
take Sonic looking about as strong as Crono here, maybe a bit better.
Auron looked completely fine and up to form if you ignore the Geralt
match. Bowser looked dubious in everything but Kirby and Gordon's
matches No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... Let me repeat that, Samus Aran, whose list of characters she can SFF is Ridley and Mother Brain, also includes Snake. Snake's boost was because of Nintendo. Put him against Nintendo and he reverts to pre-Brawl strength. We've seen it way too often. Now in fairness, a lot of this stuff today is a "f*** Konami" vote. The entire MGS clan looks like piss.

Bowser looked dubious in everything but Kirby and Gordon's matches Auron's lost 3% on Sub-Zero over the past 12 years. New Square has slowly, but very surely, gone down bit by bit. For Sonic to be the favorite against Zelda, he needs to break 60% today and beat Zelda's score on Squall.

Saying Zelda would be a huge favorite against Sonic sounds a lot like a Samus thrashing Mario kind of pick. Sonic putting up higher numbers against her than Auron wouldn't be shocking to me No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
UltimaterializerX posted... WarThaNemesis2 posted...Let me repeat that, Samus Aran, whose list of characters she can SFF is Ridley and Mother Brain, also includes Snake. Absolutely. 2006 Samus was garbage (by her standards) going into that Snake match, and it was never a contest. When you get IT'S FREAKING SAMUSed, something is worrisome. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Lopen posted... Saying Zelda would be a huge favorite against Sonic sounds a lot like a Samus thrashing Mario kind of pick. Have you actually played Breath of the Wild? Zelda being insane is no accident. Yoblazer, Hyrule Warriors is a boring game but you are 100% right about the character models. If you ever get back into making pictures I highly recommend using them. Best the Zelda clan has ever looked, outside that one Link picture from Breath where he's firing the arrow. Only Oni Link touches that one for me personally. I'm very, very, VERY happy Allen agrees with us and is picking Warriors pictures. They look slick as all hell.

Bowser looked dubious in everything but Kirby and Gordon's matches What did you dislike with Bowser's performance on Charizard? Are you including Bowser's result against Crono as being dubious? This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
I
was so proud of myself for going ahead with the Pikachu > MM upset,
but I did not have the foresight to take Zelda here, sadly. My bracket
is close to getting on the leaderboard, but Zelda winning is probably
going to mess it up too much to salvage. Hard to root against her,
though. I rooted for Zelda to beat Snake way back in the day of their
first match. "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude." - 1 Cor 13:4-5 |
Heavily
disagree with that interpretation. Auron did 'okay' against Lucina and
Vincent, underperformed a lot against Sub-Zero, and then let Geralt get
47% on him. Rosalina is currently projected to get like 41% on Sonic.
Even if you assume that Auron hasn't dropped at all, he's still
underperforming relative to 2013 stats. On the other hand, Bowser
obliterated Gordon and Charizard, then beat Kirby. The only dubious
match he had was 2B. It's just a bad performance. Sonic is looking like he's easily the weakest of the Noble Nine after today. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Lopen posted... Saying Zelda would be a huge favorite against Sonic sounds a lot like a Samus thrashing Mario kind of pick. A character who literally has the name Zelda is not going to be lower on Sonic in the weird Nintendo hierarchy thing. Zelda doing worse than Auron against Sonic might be the hottest take I've seen all contest. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/28/2018 7:32:47 PM) |

Well the good thing is if Zelda wins twice we won't be getting as many rematches in the losers bracket ISFJ Big on Visual Novels, Anime, Video games. Twitter: superange128 Planned 2018 Fighting Game Mains: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgH4MCHVMAAKV9l.png |
If Zelda does somehow get to Link how much would she get SFFed? |
She would do better than Ganondorf. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Lopen posted... I take Sonic looking about as strong as Crono here, maybe a bit better. Auron looked completely fine and up to form if you ignore the Geralt match. Bowser looked dubious in everything but Kirby and Gordon's matches If we think Auron's completely fine like you said, then Magus got a massive boost. In that case, Crono should be better than ever, so I don't think the Bowser vs Crono result looks dubious at all. 2B's a new character, with unknown strength, so I don't wouldn't place too much emphasis on that. I suppose the issue with Charizard is that Terra got 47% on him. I agree it's a bit strange, but with how good Old Square and the FF girls have looked, she could have boosted. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru (edited 11/28/2018 7:39:12 PM) |
Zelda would avoid the doubling against Link, albeit barely. It will be like the shocker Tifa pulled on Sephiroth in 2010. |
KamikazePotato posted... A character who literally has the name Zelda is not going to be lower on Sonic in the weird Nintendo hierarchy thing. Zelda doing worse than Auron against Sonic might be the hottest take I've seen all contest. Zelda is a side character. If that name really mattered she would have been worth more before this year. Sonic is a big name so should win these types of splits vs side characters. Mega Man embarrassed her in 03. She's not bulletproof in SFF matches by any means against characters with higher pedigree No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5168-character-battle-ix-division-3-round-1-kirby-vs-terra-vs Terra is underrated. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
To
be honest, if Zelda makes it past Mario it means Zelda has gotten
bandwagoned. That should mean she'll also do quite well against Link. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Mega Man embarrassed her in 2003 are we going back that far now A 'side character' (which is doing the character a disservice considering how many games she's in) from the Zelda series (who is literally named Zelda) is higher up on the Hierarchy that a character who isn't even full Nintendo, just like a Bowser is higher up on the hierarchy than Kirby because Mario>Kirby even if Bowser isn't Mario. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I'm
just saying if you dumb down the Mario vs Samus matchup to the point
where, frankly, I feel a lot of people who picked Mario did, it feels a
lot to me like the Sonic vs Zelda matchup. Something that feels too
much like an "only on GameFAQs" result to feel like it should be a
likely result. It fails the eyeball test pretty hard to me. I'm not
saying it can't happen but I do think Sonic is being grossly
underestimated. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I wouldn't mind a Zelda bandwagon, though no bandwagon is enough to beat Link |
I mean Zelda beating Snake is weird even for a GameFAQs match but here we are. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Metal
Gear Solid is popular and all but I wouldn't really call it on that
level. Sonic is the face of the console wars of yore. Snake is just a
well liked character. He's more akin to your Sephiroths and Clouds or
Samuses. The eyeball test doesn't really apply to them. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Sonic
is the ultimate has-been. Calling him the Face of the Console Wars of
Yore is giving him way too much credit. That sort of thing is way in the
past. You put Mario against Sonic and Mario against Zelda, and Sonic
gets SFFd more. Also if Sonic wants to end this match even looking slightly respectable, he should probably stop dropping percentage even before the deep night vote comes. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
2018 Sonic is currently projected to get 60.61% on Sub-Zero. for comparison: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2546-time-division-round-2-auron-vs-sub-zero [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] (edited 11/28/2018 7:59:08 PM) |

I'm not saying it can't happen but I do think Sonic is being grossly underestimated. Does Sonic SFF top Nintendo characters? Off the top of my head, I suppose there's that Sonic & Robotnik destroying Kirby & Meta Knight result in 2011, but Samus seems to have no trouble with Sonic at least. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
squexa posted... Does Sonic SFF top Nintendo characters? No But what does this have to do with Zelda? No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Lopen posted... squexa posted...Does Sonic SFF top Nintendo characters? Maybe I misunderstood you, but I assumed you are suggesting that Sonic will SFF Zelda, which is how Zelda will fare possibly worse than Auron against Sonic. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
I think sonic might lose to zelda but he’ll do much better than people give him credit for. >_______________> |
Sonic
not SFFing Samus doesn't mean he can't SFF Zelda is what I'm saying. I
mean maybe he can't but I'm not convinced Zelda will hold very well in a
SFF match. A bit more faith than in Ganondorf but yeah. Let's put her
to the test first before calling it a given she holds because her name
is Zelda. She certainly could. I'm not saying Sonic beating Zelda by more than Auron is a certainty but I do think there's a decent possibility of it happening. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Sonic is really sucking right now btw relative to Crono/Bowser his lead on Auron started off ahead in the first hours. by now it's fallen significantly behind |
I mean, I think it's at least equally likely that Zelda beats Sonic by more than she beats Snake. It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
For what it is worth, Ganondorf didn't really hold up when he fought Sonic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3828-chaos-division-round-3-sonic-vs-ganondorf The popular explanation was it was the sprite round but it's always possible that that explanation was wrong. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Kirby held up fine in that same year: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3843-chaos-division-final-sonic-vs-kirby Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Snake is losing in Alaska. feelsbadman Last
finished: Splatterhouse 3 (GEN). Splatterhouse 2 (GEN). Splatterhouse:
Wanpaku Graffiti (NES). Friday the 13th (C64). Splatterhouse (ARC). |
I think Lopen is saying Zelda won't hold up as well as main characters like Samus and Kirby. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
I
think while being a main character still has merit, I don't trust its
worth nearly as much after what happened to Kirby like a week ago. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I'd heavily consider taking Bowser over Zelda too even now if you're asking if I'm being consistent No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Zelda didn't really crumple that badly against Samus: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3846-varia-division-final-samus-aran-vs-zelda I think you are asking for Sonic to hurt Zelda way more than Samus did if you want to push Zelda to Auron's level. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Let's wait for the night vote to kick in. Europe should add to the classic North American night vote here. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
This might be the worst result in the history of the contest, tbh. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
The
issue with Sonic is that he's an adopted Nintendo character, which is
why I feel like he would have a harder time SFFing a true Nintendo
character and why I was asking about his track record SFFing Nintendo. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
ExThaNemesis posted... This might be the worst result in the history of the contest, tbh. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/(8)Missingno_vs_(11)Tidus_vs_(20)Banjo_2013 MZero, to the extreme "2017 Guru champ BKSheikah is racist against cute Pokemon." - Luster |
