It's actually supposed to be both. Marvel vs Capcom 3 failed because Capcom refused to listen to MvC2 tournament players.
Capcom in general is the king of not listening to fans. You want a company that listens to fans and implements what designers want? Wizards of the Coast. If the fans all say they hate something, it gets banned from MTG tournaments.
If the fans tell Capcom or Nintendo something sucks, they just make more of it.
Ulti speaks the truth this time! Capcom is cancelling anything that the fans show interest in, while Nintendo has gone back to not releasing Fire Emblem games outside of Japan. Goddamnit Japan.

Considering Cloud is about the only thing left stopping a complete Nintendo saturation of at the top of these contests, it's not exactly silly.
Yes it is. Cloud is still the dominating #2 character that wins everything that doesn't involve Link.

Cloud is the #2 person in the contests, never losing to a non-Link character
Cloud's lost to non-Link characters on multiple occasions!
Recently?
In 1v1s?
Because the only time I remember Cloud losing a 1v1 to a non-Link character is Mario back in the very first contest. L-Block had his rally in 2007, but L-Block beat Link as well so that doesn't really change anything. Snake managed a couple of wins in '08, but that was with Cloud being LFFed, first by Sephiroth and then by Crono and, dare I say it, Link.
...Come on, you have to admit it. Even though Link isn't actually an RPG character by the traditional definition, he still delivers RPG SFF. I'm thinking it's the whole silent protagonist, "we refuse to give him voice acting because he's supposed to be the player's avatar" thing. What does "RPG" mean? Role-Playing Game. Nowhere in the name does it say anything about levels and experience points, though these have become a staple (and Link actually did try out a level-up system once, in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, but it was ill-received). The developers' intention is clear, though--the Zelda games are roleplaying games. The name "Link" isn't even a real name--it signifies that he's the player's "link" to the world inside the game.

Aren't you one of the people that goes on about how different 4-ways are and how they don't count and crap.
Like, you're basically saying you don't want predictability
Unless it's predictability you like.
Yes. Yes, he is.
