I feel like Arcanine would do really well as a random Pokemon. Everyone loves that guy Started from the bottom now we here |
So just how strong is BotW? If it can turn Zelda into Snake and Link into ... this... is it a top 10 game? Even higher? congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Yuri_LowelI posted... I'm not saying anyones wrong. Just posting an opinion. I'm sorry if i come off as being rude but It's just meant to discuss the topic. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... red sox 777 posted...Guys calm down. It's the power hour in the middle of the day vote. Link has gone up against Cloud after the first five minutes every time since 2006- not by 4%, but he's gone up. And always ended lower than he was at the freeze. Cloud will still end up around 44% before we're done here, because he's going to be gaining percentage for the last 20 hours of the match. It's 1 AM in the UK. Wait until morning there. And if Link does end at 60%, he'll probably win Europe outright, but I doubt it. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
KamikazePotato posted... Here's the fun part: Yeah, I'm not ready to write off that possibility. If we take Zelda as an example, it's not ridiculous to wonder if Link may have also received his biggest boost since 2004 (if not ever). Even ignoring BotW's popularity as a game, Link's own redesign was super popular, and marked the first time the character's look was notably changed since 2003. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
squexa posted... So just how strong is BotW? If it can turn Zelda into Snake and Link into ... this... is it a top 10 game? Even higher? I would honestly bet top 10 at a minimum in a games contest. Whether it turns out that way, we'll have to see. You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
Link
winning the majority of the time is boring. However at the same time I
love just seeing him beat the s*** out of everything in front of him.
It's amusing. |
squexa posted... So just how strong is BotW? If it can turn Zelda into Snake and Link into ... this... is it a top 10 game? Even higher? If we don't get s***ty rallies and have another contest with these types of low votals then possibly Top 10. I wouldn't put it above any of these games though - OoT - Chrono Trigger - FFVII - Pokemon RBY These games it coud beat but wouldn't bet on it - Link to the Past - Mario 64 - MArio World - Smash Melee So Top 10 could be possible. |
So,
Square voters, now that we've seen this, can you please vote for Crono
in the rematch with Cloud so we can see how he does against the King? September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
Yuri_LowelI posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...Yuri_LowelI posted...show hidden quote(s) Sigh. Ok sorry I overreacted. It's just that there is something in the way you talk that gives off a condescending feel. But I don't mean to make enemies with you. But yeah there is a huge margin of error for this, and these are jusr raw numbers. I can't predict the future, I'm just seeing what I can do. Also I'm super sleepy right now. I need to leave the internet and go to bed. |
I
feel like BotW would still need to deal with the anti-modern bias
inherent on GameFAQs, but it's probably the one game that could overcome
it. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |

I nfact i expect Cloud to win in Europe but back in the day it was 60%+. He'll be struggling to get 50% agaisnt Link in Europe now. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... I feel like BotW would still need to deal with the anti-modern bias inherent on GameFAQs, but it's probably the one game that could overcome it. Yes but the low votals and the Nostalgia involved on this site would be too strong for it to beat the True Elites and struggle to beat the near Elites. |
At this point any attempt to beat Link is hopeless so I just wanna see him how hard he can beat everyone. Go my LAW |
CaptainOfCrush posted... I feel like BotW would still need to deal with the anti-modern bias inherent on GameFAQs, but it's probably the one game that could overcome it. BotW is probably the one game that should have serious strength on this site. We've seen this poll after less than 3 months of BotW: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6722- At that point, it was already very competitive against games like MM and WW, and solidly ahead of TP. It's possible BotW is being overrated in that poll due to being the newest game, but BotW at its worst shouldn't be expected to lose to TP in a direct match.

ZeldaTPLink posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...ZeldaTPLink posted...show hidden quote(s)Yuri_LowelI posted... It's good to post raw numbres. When i'm quoting you, i'm not neccesarily speaking to you Directly. Just posting an opinion or analysis on the contest. |
Crono gets 52.3% now Not liking his chances, unless Link is SFFing Cloud due to Smash |
Strongest characters ever: 1. 2007 L-Block 2. 2004-8 Link 3. Draven 4. 2003 Cloud 5. Base Link September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
KamikazePotato posted... Here's the fun part: Idk man, this is a really embarrassing performance. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
LusterSoldier posted... CaptainOfCrush posted...I feel like BotW would still need to deal with the anti-modern bias inherent on GameFAQs, but it's probably the one game that could overcome it. Yeah it would beat TP But you can't say for sure how well it would do agaisnt MM/WW. It probably beats WW ok but MM is 50/50. You have ot take into consideration OoT absolutely draining the s*** out of everything. So Games like MM would perform a lot better in a 1v1 Poll v BOTW. I don't think it beats LttP as that has a huge core following. And interestingly we've had this poll before and OoT always comes out on top but BOTW really Leeched off OoT enough for LttP to win it. I think 1v1 OoT>LttP>MM>BOTW>WW>TP Or OoT>Lttp>BOTW>MM>TP>WW If we assume TP is being SFF'd to hell and back by OoT. Also one last thing LMAO Skyward Sword. I disliked that game a lot but i didnt' realise how unpopular it was. Damn. |
For those that don't think BOTW could beat the elite on this site Remember this hell site put Brawl over Melee. "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE |
TheCodeisBosco posted... KamikazePotato posted...Here's the fun part: He'll end up scraping 40% i think. I think...don't quote me on it. But we won't know until he Faces Samus/Mario. And assuming he beats MegaMan/Crono(which he should) he will face both Samus and Mario. |
ayyy its me today LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
BotW is weird because it's basically a return to NES Zeldas. Most people I see praising it a lot are Zelda 1 fans. I've seen many saying they disliked the change made by LttP (more focus on puzzles and gimmicks and less on exploration) and enjoy the return to form. So the challenge for BotW in this site is overcome the fact people here are in love with OoT. We don't mind the puzzles and gimmicks. And many modern Zelda fans think Zelda 1 is too hard or too non-linear. It seems it does that job pretty well, but maybe not enough to beat OoT itself. |
Have enough people even played BOTW here? Less than half of the users have a Switch, right? I think it wouldn't become a powerhouse for a few years. OoT is unbeatable because it's been on every Nintendo console for 20 years and had a killer handheld port. "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso |
Yikes. This is gross. Cloud should get back above 40% but yeah I think he's very possibly as low as #6 on this site now No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Yuri_LowelI posted... squexa posted...So just how strong is BotW? If it can turn Zelda into Snake and Link into ... this... is it a top 10 game? Even higher? I would not take Breath of the Wild over OoT or Chrono Trigger, but I would take it over everything else. The other games you list definitely could beat it, but I'd be willing to bet on BotW in my bracket. The impact that game had is absolutely insane. Nintendo still advertises it and features it in Switch advertisements as if it's their brand-new tentpole release for every fiscal quarter. Crazy s***. Super Mario Odyssey got screwed, though - it would have had a bigger impact if BotW didn't overshadow it so thoroughly. It's especially sad because Odyssey is the better game. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
ExThaNemesis posted... Remember this hell site put Brawl over Melee. This still kinda squicks me out a little. Not as bad as Super Mario World > SMB3, but... Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
ExThaNemesis posted... For those that don't think BOTW could beat the elite on this site Yeah and Brawl dropped off like a stone to a point where it would get beat by Midcard fodders right now. BOTw obviously wont because Single player Zelda games will continue to do well but the way i see it it depends on the receptio nlong term having spent time on Zelda boards on many sites BOTW is rated highly. It consistenly comes in #2 in minor or major Zelda polls wherever i See(behind OoT) so who knows Skyward Sword was being bashed from the get go. Still the only Major Zelda game Post OoT to not win GOTY poll here. MM didn't get an opportunity but would have eaisly won it. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Crono gets 52.3% now I can't see Cloud actually being SFF'd because of Smash. If anything, it should be the other way around. He's top-tier in Smash 4 and I don't see myself buying a new game Cloud is in just to somehow find out Link is cooler there. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
Lopen posted... Yikes. This is gross. Cloud should get back above 40% but yeah I think he's very possibly as low as #6 on this site now Megaman to disgrace the NN by losing the first 1v1 24 hr match to an outsider, but then go on to beat Cloud in the same contest? Stronk timeline. LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Advokaiser posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...Crono gets 52.3% now The point would be that part of Cloud's natural strength comes from Smash, and that strength evaporates when he's against a character Nintendo fans love more. |
At this rate it wouldn’t surprise me if our final is Link vs Zelda and the Games contest being BotW vs OoT finals |
Link versus Cloud posted...
I meant Link, Snake, Mario, Samus, Zelda, but you do raise an interesting point about Mega Man... No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
TheCodeisBosco posted... ExThaNemesis posted...Remember this hell site put Brawl over Melee. Wth are you taling about? SMW is a respected game in it's own right and imo far bettwe than SMB3 Brawl>Melee was a f***cing disgrace to this site. Thankfully MM took it out before it coudl embarass the reputation of this site. |
Advokaiser posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...Crono gets 52.3% now I think it's more like this: During Cloud vs Alucard or Cloud vs Crono, Cloud gets votes from apathetic Nintendo fans who recognize him from Smash and don't really know who the other guys are. But when Cloud goes up against a beloved Nintendo icon like Link, Mario, etc, his Smash boost collapses, hence the "Smash SFF". congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
Link versus Cloud posted... Lopen posted...Yikes. This is gross. Cloud should get back above 40% but yeah I think he's very possibly as low as #6 on this site now X struggled to beat Tifa and MM can beat Cloud now haha cmon guys this result is getting some of you carried away. |
Crono looks horrible based on cloud. Though, it does put him more in line with MM. >_______________> |
Advokaiser posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...Crono gets 52.3% now What has him being top tier got to do with anything? Most of the casual fanbase don't play in top tier. and Cloud was a DLC. Beleive me. Not as many peopel in the smash community give a toss about Cloud as much as you think. |
Lopen posted... Yikes. This is gross. Cloud should get back above 40% but yeah I think he's very possibly as low as #6 on this site now To put things into perspective - based on the current result, Super Alucard gets like 30% on Link. Link is just obscenely strong this year. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Lopen posted... Link versus Cloud posted... Wait didn't you have MM/Pika > Snake a couple of days ago when were making our top 10s? Have you flopped on that? LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Even
if this is the strongest Link we've ever seen, it might not even give
Link his biggest ever win over Mario because his SFF powers have gotten
much weaker. Link/Mario is usually 62-65% after SFF comes into play. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Link versus Cloud posted... Lopen posted...Link versus Cloud posted...show hidden quote(s) Zelda and Snake mashing Sonic validate Snake as not having dropped much despite how the rest of MGS characters tended to trend. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Yuri_LowelI posted... X struggled to beat Tifa and MM can beat Cloud now I don't actually expect MM to beat Cloud, but it would be funny if he did. My bracket already got shot to hell by Snake>Zelda and I also have Cloud>Samus, so at this point I'm just rooting for the lulz. LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Lopen posted... Link versus Cloud posted... You had that ranking after the Zelda/Sonic match already happened though. Snake/Sonic changed your mind? LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Lopen posted... Link versus Cloud posted...Lopen posted...show hidden quote(s)Link versus Cloud posted... Snake got 46% on Link. He defintely dropped. Sonic is a joke anyway |
62% barrier broken https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Link versus Cloud posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...X struggled to beat Tifa and MM can beat Cloud now I also have that but WOuldn't you rather see Cloud agaisnt Samus/Mario than MM getting destroyed? |
Link versus Cloud posted... Snake/Sonic changed your mind? You can confirm there isn't SFF tainting the mix in Zelda/Sonic much so it does help quite a lot. Keep in mind I had them all on the same tier anyway. I'd still have them there but Cloud is in the middle of it and Snake/Zelda are at the top. Mega and Pika beating Cloud wouldn't surprise me a ton at this point. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
62% has been surpassed. How high can Link go? You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
