transience posted... Link should definitely go close to 60 on Cloud but there's just something about the Link/Cloud matchup that makes me pause before going that high. yeah, same I'll believe Link can hit 58%+ on cloud when I see it. Link's had all the reasons to boost way ahead of Cloud in the past, yet Cloud still managed to keep Link under 55% You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
transience posted... Link should definitely go close to 60 on Cloud but there's just something about the Link/Cloud matchup that makes me pause before going that high. Some of us thought Link would aim for mid to high 50s back in 2010 based on Cloud looking bad throughout the contest, but then Cloud manages to hold Link under 54% in the final.

Last few days were busy for me. Sorry for the late showing, guys. Here's a quick write-up; I think we can all agree Link's easily winning this match. He has beaten his performances on Cloud in each successive match they have had together. I don't think he'll goes as far as beat his 2011 performance (I blame that on bad contest), but it'll be between that and 2010. If he does, that really says a lot about the Square decline, and for good reason. That company stopped been on the downswing since the two Kingdom Hearts titles. I'm actually don't think Cloud even beats Mario and Samus anymore, so it'll be interesting to see how he performs in the losers bracket. Winner - Link - 56.73% (I just used my oracle here http://www.oraclechallenge.com/index.php?file=predictions&id=534) EDIT: Should be "That company has been on the downswing..." and it should be "I" instead of "I'm" in the second paragraph.

Link
looked bad throughout the 2010 contest until he hit Nintendo-based
competition. Then people wanted to use clear SFF matches to deny that
Link was closer to the field in 2010 than he had been before. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
I'm not sure that Cloud could beat Zelda, let alone Link xyzzy |
there was a time when Cloud getting to 48% on Link in the opening 5 would be a huge huge deal unfortunately this is 2018 Link xyzzy |
Yeah,
Link HAS been getting weaker over the years. It just doesn't matter
because there's still no one who can legitimately beat him. |
That was a fun first minute. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
everyone is getting weaker! xyzzy |
Cloud stalled out for the last two minutes! |
don't do it, Link! xyzzy |
transience posted... everyone is getting weaker! the planet's dyin, cloud No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Yeah, I'm really curious to see what kind of swing this next update has. (watch nothing change) |
Beast of the Wild It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
Cloud's gonna be lucky to stay over 40 at the end... https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
man I was right, Cloud's early vote crushes Link's now xyzzy |
also for the record Sonic projects Snake to beat Zelda with 51.24% runback time |
LeonhartFour posted... also for the record Sonic projects Snake to beat Zelda with 51.24% Zelda had a sprite picture when she faced Sonic, and it appears that sprites hurt Zelda by about 1%.

Link losing % This is going to stay under 60% probably. I guess the "FF always wins" is voting now but it will normalize eventually. |
there is a very real chance Mario (or Samus!) does better on Link directly than Cloud https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
wait a second Cloud’s in smash now...is he getting SFFed by Link!?!? |
I can't believe my 59% was giving Cloud too much credit. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
yeesh. I’m not convinced that anyone can get 40% on Link anymore. maybe Snake? add the c and back away iphonesience |
like, this honestly makes me question if mario and samus are really all that. zelda could be the #2 character. add the c and back away iphonesience |
transcience posted... like, this honestly makes me question if mario and samus are really all that. zelda could be the #2 character. What do you think Cloud gets on Sephiroth nowadays? All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
I
think Zelda can be #2, but she already proved that on her own merits.
This match doesn't change my opinion on that - I thought
Zelda/Snake/Mario/Samus were a tossup before this already! Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
you
could be right, but I never considered Zelda as an honest threat to
Mario or Samus. hierarchy and all that. but if this site is just that
crazy for Zelda, maybe! xyzzy |
Well,
when I mean #2, I mean indirectly (for what that's worth these days
when the entire top tier is Nintendo-related). Mario can very easily
Hierarchy his way past Zelda even if he's weaker, but if he can't then
it gets fuzzier. Zelda might be able to match what he did to Sephiroth. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
eh,
my take on this is if samus is #2 and mario #3 but mario
out-hierarchies samus, then she's #3 because there's no one she can go
over with that strength. same goes for zelda. xyzzy |
Well there does exist the possibility of something like Snake>Mario>Samus>Snake Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
zelda is our only hope to defeat link |
The Mana Sword posted... zelda is our only hope to defeat link then all hope is lost. ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
I'm now feeling really bad about Cloud's chances vs. Mega Man. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
you mean in the rematch with crono |
no i mean next contest https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
The crew went pretty low huh Cloud is just sad now I'm Rose Coldsteel, from Legend of Coldsteel |
I should bring back my 2-11 poll (and leave out sephiroth/sonic) Cloud Crono Samus Mario Zelda Pikachu Mega Man Snake xyzzy |
gotta include Tifa in there now I guess |
eh, not really, not after getting crushed by samus xyzzy |
Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if she kept it close with Pikachu, Mega Man, and Crono. Maybe not win, but close. |
I don't think Cloud is that much stronger than Tifa, to be honest. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Indirectly: Samus Mario Zelda Snake Cloud Mega Man Pikachu Crono (Tifa) |
Like if he's still at his 2010 number against Ryu then he gets around 55% on Tifa. (For reference, if he matches his 2010 number against Ryu then Peach beats Ryu) https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( (edited 12/6/2018 8:49:28 PM) |
If you put Tifa on these lists you have to put Mega Man X as well. They're basically equal. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
maybe he shouldn't be such a loser then |
