MasterMoltar 12/10/18 4:21:47 PM #135:	But theres a much bigger obstacle to taking this upset, and thats that ITS FREAKING LINK! As I stated elsewhere, Link is kind of the Superman of Character Battles. In the absence of kryptonite (read: massive rallies that bring together larger blocks of the internet than our puny site), hes just plain invincible. And he is especially rough on his fellow Nintendo characters. This is the 18th overall contest, and of the previous 17, the strongest available representative of The Legend of Zelda has won 11 times. One of those losses was Sephiroth > Ganondorf in the Villains Contest, which is of course totally not Links fault. 3 of them were ralliesL-Block, Draven, and Undertale. And Draven only narrowly managed to win and may have resorted to cheating. That leaves only two clear losses: Cloud > Link in 2003 and Final Fantasy VII > Ocarina of Time in 2004. So its certainly possible, or was at one time. But due to their strength, Link-Cloud is the most contested match in Character Battle history (granted, there was also some silly thing called the Battle Royale in 2006 that ran up the count), and after Cloud won the initial match, Link has beaten him 12 times in a row. Which, again, is irrelevant because Link isnt going up against an outside force! Link may be the star, but Zelda is the title character. Occasionally Link gets his name in the title too, but thats only happened four times and only twice does the title make it explicit that Link is a character. If anyone could pull off the upset, its Zelda. Is there any sort of history that would suggest that its likely? Theyve never had a 1v1, but they were in a 4way together and Zelda only got 13.19% on Link directly. She did, however, manage to avoid getting doubled by a 4chan fad that is also a Pokmon, and said 4chan fad that is also a Pokmon didnt avoid getting doubled by Vincent Valentine so clearly that poll is not remotely relevant in 2018. But, uh, props to 2007 Zelda for at least outperforming 2004 Ganondorf against Link even though there was a 4chan fad and a fellow near-elite (at the time) in the poll, right? And yet, hentai rallies. How exactly would hentai rallies affect this match? After all, it takes two to tango, and Im reminded of Ron Whites bit on homophobia. TV Tropes was nice enough to have the whole exchange quoted on his page so Ill quote it for you. Ron: Do ya like porn? Homophobe: Yeah, I like porn. You know that. Ron: Do you only watch scenes with two women? Homophobe: Naw, I like to watch a man and a women making love. Ron: Oh. Do you care if the man has a half-flaccid penis? Homophobe: Naw, man, I like big, hard, throbbing co! gets a horrified face, stops to think about what he said I did not know that about myself. --- no space all business <cite>MasterMoltar posted [p:913896097] in Character ...
