I really have a hard time seeing Snake having hold up well enough tonot be blown to pieces by Link.

I mean did you not look at the Bonus Poll I posted

he outperformed CLOUD in his last match with Link

or what Snake did to Samus in the finals

I feel pretty good about Snake being #2 (AT LEAST) here actually

That bonus match was Snake's best chance ever to beat Link imo. All the support he had coming into that match from the day before and while it was a good performance, it was always Link's match. I think it's incredible optimistic to think that would be any different today. Even if Snake actually caught some rally, it's insane to not think Zelda fans would counter it. "Blown to pieces" is an exaggeration of course, and I don't get me wrong, I'd love it see it happen, but I absolutely can't see Link being anywhere near close to losing.

also people have got to stop this idea of "if you don't have anything new then surely you must be weaker now"

This is a good point for sure, but most evidence we have do point towards this being the general rule however, even if it did take a while for it to happen with Crono, Sephiroth and whoever else. Chrono Trigger is a rare exception, which seems to mostly be it lucking on which userbase is still here tbh.

And I do see Mario and Samus being in a better light in everyones mind now, while I don't think Snake has much reason to be better than back then (already explained why I don't think Smash 5 helps him much), while maybe MSG current situation and MSGV would put him in a slightly less noble spot than he was in back in 2013.
