The 2008 Crono match was basically a 1v1, so it can't just be brushed off. Vincent's really not all over the place, he was good until 2013 (in 2010 he blew out fodder and lost in an SFF match, calling that proof of a collapse is very revisionist) and bad in 2013 and 2018.

Golden Sun is a great puzzle game with great music and nice graphics but a pretty shallow JRPG with a mediocre story and a 3rd entry that really isn't defendable

So it's not terrible but not very good

Yeah SuorGenoveffa was really the only one saving Ike for a while which was awesome as it allowed me to save Joker more.

Wasn't really expecting Ike to beat Bowser, but just him making it that far was really cool. From 73rd in SMCB to 2nd here is really quite the redemption story!

Really the only thing that's changed for them since then is Sonic getting announced for Brawl and Sonic Mania coming out

No MGS game since then matters in 2018, and Snake missing 4 also doesn't matter but if it did it would negatively impact him now

So I don't see why Snake would beat him by more unless the current voters simply like Snake more, which seems unlikely based on how much they hate all other MGS characters, or like Sonic less, which feels more possible.

Either that or there's something else weird going on here. But I feel like the most likely hypothesis right now is that Sonic isn't as strong as he used to be.

Literally no one cared about Sonic being in Smash Ultimate.

Grown men were CRYING for "Everyone Is Here!".

And nobody caring about someone causes a decrease in contest strength!

Yeah but he also blew out Sonic in '06

And he beat him even worse this time, by a nontrivial margin

So something happened, and it being a stronger Snake is unlikely. So it's a Sonic drop or a very large amount of random variance.

Ike is a great character in PoR and great fun in Smash

Bowser I like as a character and I like him in 4 but hate him in Melee

Fox I really like in melee but I hate Star Fox games

That is all

I saved Fox over Wolf in that round because I've never actually played as Wolf in Smash and Fox is fun in Melee
