A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

Guys it's Zelda

you should be thrilled with sabotage at this point

I submitted these to sab...help Link. Hope Allen uses one.

Where’s the first sabotage pic from?

Samus would definitely lose to cloud in a rematch.

maybe if she had zero suit samus

Doesn't seem like it.

Mario and Cloud are on a similar level and Cloud has less SFF vs Link and yet he still failed to break 40, so no reason to think Mario would do it. We already saw that Zelda couldn't do it. Crono/MM are about the same level as Pikachu, who barely broke 31.5, let alone 40 (Crono would do better due to less SFF, but still nowhere near 40). Snake and Samus are the only ones with a shot at 40, but Samus probably gets SFF'd to hell and if Snake barely got 43.5 on Samus I don't like his odds to get 40 on Link.

Samus would beat Cloud fairly easily.

Cloud FINALLY got revenge for 2002. Long overdue and well deserved.

This is Cloud Strife. Down you go, Mario.

Don’t know about “destroy” but agree.

Voted for Cloud, glad he's done it.

Ok, now I'm hoping to just stay Top 5 or something. Might be possible I guess

Depends on when the rematch is. Closer to/after MP4...

Hell, Samus/Mario/Cloud ended up so damn close this contest that a Samus > Cloud win would not surprise me at all. Just a few freak random factors could be enough to flip the script there.

Not sure if I want to vote Cloud or Zelda

I would 100% take Samus > Cloud without a second thought given what we have seen this contest

This match and Tifa/MMX have been the two most satisfying matches

Samus has proven herself to be stronger than Mario in every match that doesn't involve facing Mario and dealing with the hierarchy. That 57% on Snake is better than anything Mario could hope to accomplish.

Samus is probably our #2. But until she actually wins it, this Linkless bracket title goes to Cloud (or Zelda).

Cloud beating Zelda will be the most satisfying, though

Samus is definitely stronger indirectly. There is no denying this.

And by most you of course mean least. They ruined great matchups

57% is only better because we're assuming Snake is significantly stronger than Crono due to his result on Sonic

but its also a possibility that Sonic is just reeeeally weak

Samus > Cloud > Mario > Samus

Snake also got closer to Zelda than Mario and had been vying with Cloud for that #2 spot for years before this year.

Let this be the death of the "MARIO IS SUPER CLUTCH" myth. He clutched against Samus, but now we have Zelda, Vivi and Cloud as close matches he failed to win, and he's had no other close matches in the last ten years.

Damn so Cloud won! amazing result. Too bad now I have to watch Zelda beat him.

Goodbye, plumber.

Samus > Cloud > Mario > Samus

This is correct.

Zelda as Sheik is a sabotage

Cloud was clearly being rallied/bandwagoned if he’s beating Zelda this bad early.

Looks like some match pics from previous matches in Losers are being used, in addition to the new Sheik and Toon Zelda

Cloud still #2.

That was unreal out of the gate from Cloud. Coming way down to Earth now.

Oh piss off. They’re the same exact character.

So do we vote for the guy who lost to Link or the gal who lost to Link ?

Um, you're not supposed to let Zelda get the lead Cloud....

So there were some other more conventional Zeldas in there.

280. So close to the top 50, only for today to screw me over.

KP has become the new vcharon. You literally cry about anything and everything.

And that's why people don't want Link anymore.
Mario, Cloud, Snake, all his supposed challengers can't even beat his girlfriend !

if this match stays close then it confirms sonic > = Crono > megaman.

Mario is a goddamn loser. This is what happens when he faces someone he can't Hierarchy his way over. Cloud beat him and is going to lose to Zelda worse than Mario did simply because of no rSFF.

Guuuuuudd (though technically Crono >= Mega Man I would say)

Who actually doesn’t know Sheik is Zelda at this point

Now a Tetra pic, on the other hand...

438 points.

I was the last person who didn't make the leaderboard cut. FML
