| LeonhartFour 10/06/18 11:52:26 PM #141: | (1) Link (3) Solid Snake Relevant polls: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3306-contest-final-link-crono-snake-cloud https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5267-character-battle-ix-bonus-battle-4-link-vs-solid-snake Here's my hot take on CBIX: I think Snake would've beaten Link if Draven didn't derail it. Yes, I know what some of you are saying. "But Link beat him in the bonus poll!" But hear me out. For the first two rounds of the contest, Snake just looked flat out better than Link. Link was getting anti-voted at a level that was usually reserved for Cloud and Sephiroth. That might have been the weakest Link (goodbye) we've ever seen. And then Draven happened, and Link became the site's hero again, even as a fallen martyr. I think it gave him a boost, and that's why he beat Snake in the bonus poll. People thought Link was unassailable, and then suddenly, he wasn't. Link fans had become complacent and apathetic, and Draven gave them their fire back. Which brings me to my biggest fear: Snake beats Link here, and then Link hulks up and wins in the final match. I think this is much more likely to happen than the reverse. I think if Link wins here, he wins again in the final match, especially if Snake keeps it close because it'll put the Zelda fans on high alert. I honestly think picking Snake in an upset here isn't a bad pick because you can always hedge by picking Link again in the final because you know he'll be there. But even if Snake loses the rematch, beating Link here would be a massive success for him. Losing in the final honestly wouldn't even matter. Winner: SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE?! Odds: ! (4) Cloud (7) Mario Relevant poll: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/996-north-division-final-mario-vs-cloud-strife Somehow we haven't seen these two in a match of any kind since that infamous match in 2002, and it looks like somehow Mario's going to luck out and win them both! Cloud winning here would be amazing, but unless FFVIIR and Smash 4 boosted him a lot, he probably won't, even if Mario is a little overrated. Winner: Mario Odds: 65% (1) Link (7) Mario Relevant polls: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3854-final-rounds-semifinal-link-vs-mario https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/1002-tournament-final-mario-vs-link He come to town.
