ya sonic looking weak af atm if this is what auron gets.. I think he'll get around 43-44% though tbh.. so itll be inline with what to expect from snake.. both sprites today suck ass.

The URL structure for today's pictures was slightly changed:

https://gamefaqs.akamaized.net/images/x/user/snake-f-ulti-sprite.png

Compare that to yesterday where the URL structure looked like this:

https://gamefaqs.akamaized.net/images/x/user/ganon-f-sprite-ulti.png

The word "sprite" comes after the username in today's URLs, unlike with yesterday's URLs. This explains why I couldn't find the Snake sprite picture by replacing "ganon" in the second URL with "snake" instead.

12 points is a big disadvantage to give up at the freeze. Hope Tifa can somehow hold this. Would be hilarious.

Not gonna lie I pity voted Snake for getting another Metal Gear sprite.

What if Snake hadn't dropped and Zelda is now really the second strongest character and Snake the third ?
tgs2 12/1/2018 4:08:02 PM#14
Cant wait for Mario to render this result null and voidal again despite yet even more evidence of Samus>Mario
For comparison, in 2010, Tifa fell 6% when facing Sephiroth from the first 5 minutes to the end of the match.

She's currently up by 56%.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
I just looked at it but yesterday's vote totals were garbage even for this contest

what the heck happened

Sprites + Loser's Bracket

60/40 should be the rough standard for Snake/Auron, right? Snake is at Zelda's level and she just beat two elite Square characters with 62+. Auron ain't that much stronger than Squall or Aeris, even now.

Of course, we have no idea how the pics are affecting things.

Sprites were the most likely cause for the vote totals, and the forced voting in both matches may have also contributed to the problem as well. I doubt the Losers bracket had anything to do with this, but we'll need to see some non-sprite matches in the Losers bracket to test this theory out.

This contest...

We saw this match in 2010 already, Sephiroth looked respectable in rounds 1-4. At the back of my head I thought that Tifa might pull something off but the rational side of me was "Nah, Sephiroth has this".

LMAO

so uh

maybe Zelda's the #2 on this site now

Unfortunately, I don't think she can ever out-hierarchy Samus and Mario despite the innate LoZ advantage. Guess we'll see soon!
Just saw the Poll results. Man Sephiroth is weak nowadays

Called both of them by accident! I said that Snake would score at least 57% on Auron and that Tifa would win! And that prooves that Zelda is number 2 for sure. I guess.
So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :(
She keeps going up!

This result suggests Ryu is worth ~27% on Samus but ~32 percent on Mario

What the hell is this
If all else fails use fire.
SlugSh0t 12/1/2018 4:15:51 PM#38
lol something is up... or would sonic really only get 42% on snake? He got 45% in snakes strongest year.. idk wtf

Tifa is SFFing Sephiroth

what a world we live in
Also, for the record, as the guy probably making the 2018 stats: today is the only day so far where I've looked at everything projected so far and wondered if torching it all and starting over might not be easier.

Maybe this is the match that proves rSFF. Either that or Division 8 was fraudville.

Yeah, Snake/Auron was around 60/40 in both 2013 and 2010.

But yeah, sprite vs. sprite matches are really bad for judging character strengths. Out of all these pictures, the Auron one looks the worst, so I could see him being hurt the most from today's matches.

I've kept every division's stats in tact and so I'll probably have like 20 sets of stats to try to make sense of once I'm done.
Safer_777 12/1/2018 4:17:47 PM#46
Also in Loser's bracket I have all match winners wrong! Not even once of them right! So today is my last day on the leaderbord. Still didn't expected to last that long.

And Bowser with around 4.5%...damn!

This might be the best way since the previous stats seems quite outdated.
However, even making new stats isn't going to be that easy considering stuff like Bacondorf and the SFF feasts.

Why can't it just be Tifa is naturally stronger now?
