Crono also sucked in the early vote against Bowser, so he may not do too bad here, but he is certainly losing more ground in the dead zone.

dude its cloud though.. he was going 50-50 with alucard then got 60 by the end.

Woah there, Link.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Monster jump for Link on that update. Probably one of the biggest single percentage increases of the contest on an update after the freeze.

Is this Link's final form or can he do something even more ridiculous?
You felt your sins weighing down on your neck.
I was about to propose a theory that Pokémon can't get severely SFF'd by top-tier Nintendo

That theory had better be wrong
If all else fails use fire.
As a reminder:

We've grown complacent if today's result is surprising.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
And there’s our reminder that Link is still the supreme ruler of the contest world.

It's kinda nice watching LinknCloud administer an old fashioned LinknCloud sandwich.

Link was just giving everyone a tease.

And pikachu is probably the most SFF resistant Nintendo character out there.

Pikachu even got the pic advantage. Didnt help at all.
Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest.

Give him a non Nintendo character. Let’s see what he does to Cloud

IMO if he gets anything above 60 on Cloud then we can just ban him forever.

4 people fell off the Top 50. stafoc, rpgsruleall, SwiftyDC and Metal_DK had neither Snake nor Tifa winning.

1 person managed to get one match right and went up in the ranks. Amyson correctly predicted Snake or Tifa would win.

45 people didn't score a single point but didn't fall very much anyways. SpikeDragon, XIII_rocks, Zylothewolf, TeamRocketElite, TheBiggerWiggle, Vegink, Osfan, PSI_NESS, th3l3fty, Moonroof, iGenesis, OrangeCrush980, half_silver28, Cb7799, FFIXOwner, fpce666, Lukejalil, Underleveled, Gyarados, Fart, TylerF, gitanil, Seanchan, ALAKA, PreseaCombatir, Ngamer64, hylianknight3, pyresword, Camden, Captain_Sorzo, tennisboy213, art_of_the_kill, SoraLink2649, Tjian, KeepinItFresh, _SecretSquirrel, creativename, pirate109, Steevo_234, azuarc, Bane_Of_Despair, Logicblade, dimi161, Safer_777 and swirIdude didn't have Snake or Tifa winning.

17 people fell off the Second Chance Top 50. mobias, PTSachse, Ace_Hye, Frolfer, Alexanaxela, karate_chop, Yay_Everything, megametal42, Keegs77, Evil_Genius, coeus, Kukaku, Caltenburn, Dryst109, skeIedragon, MageODeath and theiceisnice did not have Snake and Tifa winning.

22 people scored half points but managed to survive on the Second Chance Top 50.

This was not the best year for my bracket.
Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest!
It's tough to say if Link is even SFFing Pikachu here without having a better read on his strength yet. Link/Ganondorf doesn't give us any real information on Link's strength and he'll probably only face one non-Nintendo opponent on his way to winning the contest. Next round, we'll get to see Link/Cloud as the only measuring stick of his strength.

Help in terms of what?

It probably did. If we had a normal link pic say from OoT then this would have been a bigger margin.

Cloud’s sandwich isn’t quite as impressive though, when you consider Pikachu and Crono were pretty much equals in CBIX. Cloud better hope this is SFF right about now.

Isn't Crono projected to get 45% here through Bowser/Alucard? Cause he's not looking like he'll meet that.

did they finally fix it so you could see the match pictures after casting your vote or is it just me?
ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die.

how bad is this going to get for crono? He didnt do bad in Europe last round, but Cloud is just better there..


Cloud is probably Europe King. If this was Europe only contest Cloud would win. He’s easily the strongest character in UK as well which makes up for large % of Europe’s votes.

There is also some SFF going on in terms of jrpg fans.

I don't think anyone should expect things to be exact +/-2% is a good error.

SlugSh0t 12/2/2018 4:22:31 PM#382
not sure what people were expecting crono to get here.. He was projected to get around 45% and that's what he's around. Unless it gets far worse.

People were thinking Cloud would be hurt by the sprite picture here, and Crono is a character that does well with sprites.

What about his DBZ fan base voting for him?
Crono is going to drop a lot as the match goes on. I would be surprised if Cloud ends with like 58%.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
That was a nasty omnislash from Cloud

After Europe he could be up 57% here

One thing we do know is He will finish #2 on xstats when he gets the highest % on Link

Unless of course Samus never faces Link but beats Cloud.
garetha200 12/2/2018 4:29:02 PM#387
Good to see cloud taking names again. He's had a rough last couple of contests.

Let’s see how he does against Samus/Mario first.

He’ll face both of them eventually in the losers bracket most likely.
Link pulling off 122 votes more on that update.

How much would Pikachu get on Cloud exactly?

I feel we haven’t even seen link at his maximum and won’t hntil next round. This is just him flexing his muscle

Wonder what an OoT pic will do for him.
Lopen 12/2/2018 4:34:49 PM#390
Yeah I think it's more likely Crono is just not great this contest based on limping past Bowser who has looked good in one suspicious SFF match outside that. I think Pikachu or Mega Man will roll him.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

well..pikachu was expected to get over 40% on link.. so this is actually a stronger link than we will probably see next round.

I would personally expect a BotW picture to boost Link more than OoT these days, but I don't have anything to back that up besides my own overexposure to OoT and not wanting to see anything OoT related for a long time.

A lot more considering OoT is still a long way ahead of BOTW. And this site is still nostalgia driven. Otherwise characters like crono alucard and tifa wouldn’t be doing so well.

BOTW is up there with the likes of MM and Lttp though.

That’s true. But It doesn’t change the fact that stupid outside rallies aside. OoT is still the single strongest game on this site.

Cloud still slowly rising...

This could end up meaning Alucard > Crono if this keeps going!

Cloud not affected by FFPF confirmed...?
