Board 8 > Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1308

(+) Yeah! (+)

Amaterasu is always stronger than we think...!
---

Perhaps it's time we consider an... FFVII boost (except not you Vincent)
---

also honestly I do kind of think (as weird as this is to say) that Amaterasu got some sort of weird "HERO BOOST" for lack of a better term for destroying Draven. Her board vote against Lara Croft was downright insane, for instance.
---

Pac and Amaterasu both got the hero boost

And the energy sword

I believe it
---

Because this Ryu should ABSOLUTELY have been on roids, and with the way Sephiroth was trending the last... FOREVER, he should not be getting smoked this handily.

Unfortunately, being around the various manchildren on Board 8 for 14 years, I have been exposed to some of the pro-wrasslin lingo

I call bullshit. You don't learn what a work or a shoot is without being involved enough to pick which side of the Montreal Screwjob you stand on.

Face it, you're one of us BT.

I watched that documentary, Bret Hart was in the right and Vince McMahon is a shithead

(I also watched wrestling when I was a kid but had no idea of any of the backstage shit)
---

yeah this kinda makes your Cloud SSB4 boost theory look bad huh...!

This flows in with the overall boost we have seen for female characters. People are just confused by Sephiroth's luscious locks and girlish good looks
---

Well based on the current match pics Sephiroth is definitely more attractive than Tifa so I believe it.

Vince is a shithead but Bret was still in the WRONG
---

I hate how Vince and the WWE have had 20 years to push the company's perspective and make it seem like Bret was the least professional of all the major players.

Oh shit...

...well... Cloud clearly will get an SSB4 boost and the FFVII boost (no, not you Vincent).

And he'll still lose to BOTW Link because fuck this site.

The Montreal Screwjob was the greatest work in the history of the business.

Ulti somehow with the most nuclear take of all time.
---

If it's a work then Bret Hart is putting forth the greatest sustained acting performance in history. You can still feel his genuine disdain and bitterness every time he talks about. You can feel it for the last 20 years.
---

wait I just looked at the pics on the front page and SBAllen reversed Tifa's pic like he did with Aerith's and Auron's

I've seen those pics so many times that it's kind of jarring to see him do that to them
---

I think I already addressed all that Lopen, but maybe Ill try again tomorrow.

Yeah the Kliq were the most unprofessional guys around.

But hey, theres those rumors about Vince and HBK on the bearskin rug.

I always thought that was just jealous wrestlers talking trash and thought it was ridiculous.

Then I saw Scott Hall in an interview tell how Vince told him the story of Vinces first homosexual experience, and some other wrestler (Kampala maybe?) noted Vince would trade pushes for sexual favors from boys and girls.

Sooo...given how much Vince clearly loves HBK, it may actually not be bullshit after all.

EDIT: Actually Lloyd is decent by fodder standards and he's looking extremely bad right now.

eh 26% on Seph isn't bad for Lloyd honestly and neither is 31% on Ryu considering he only got 32% on Fox in 2010
---

These are the kinds of discussions I come to the stats topic for.

Lopen posted...

So the current theory is that Seph is overperforming because the rallied Tifa votes are gravitating towards him?

Sure, why the heck not?

On the other hand, we could see this site come out like it's 2003 again. If only we could get Mario and Crono to face off somehow...

73% update for Sephiroth.

Sweet merciful christ.

Was reading Ulti's PCA things and the amount of times he talks about it being the last possible chance for Cloud/Sephiroth is depressing.

He was so right.
---

So what would Sephiroth have to get on Ganondorf for us to get Amaterasu = Dante?

55.70%

also feel free to ask for any other X-Stat comparisons you like

we've got a week to fill after these matches are over after all
---

Tell me about it. Breath of the Wild Link is probably going to get 95% on Ganon.

It's like FFVIIR could come out and be AMAZING and Cloud would be all set to boost from that and his role in KH3 and then...

...Link would just get a new Zelda game and cleave that off.
---

I can't see the FF7 remake actually doing anything for the FF7 crew. The only people that are going to play it are people that were already voting for those characters
---

Jesus Christ. Seph is putting on a beatdown.
---

Eh, with something like the FFVII Remake, it's not so much about exposing them to a new audience as much as it is giving them a reason to be excited about FFVII in particular and the series in general again. Square hasn't given most fans much reason to do that for the last decade or so.
---

Well, for what it's worth, after playing FFXV, I have no faith that Square will be able to pull off a good remake of 7

Clouds priority should be to consolidate #2 on this site. Lets not worry about beating link anytime soon those days are over. Link is just too strong and BOTW and the switch boost would have made him more so

Im looking forward to see how cloud performs in the losers bracket.

If he can beat mario and or samus 1v1 then that is progress from him.

well yeah that's exactly the problem
---

Tifa finally trying to put this match away
---

100 votes gained in three updates.
---

Well that was three straight brutal updates from Tifa.
---

yeah and we're not even in the heart of the Euro vote yet

almost feels safe to call this one over
---

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

Go Tifa. I don't mind being wrong about Luigi > X. I'd rather be wrong about Luigi > X cause the important battle there is Mega Man > X.
---

It's been over for a while. The only time when Luigi has a clear advantage is the board vote/power hour. He couldn't get a lead with that, there was no hope (aside from a random yaoi subreddit) for him
---

This is a pretty good time for Tifa actually, as the midwest is starting to fall asleep. If you like at the West coast, it's all Tifa.
---

as an only child who was always Player 1 whenever friends came over

Luigi is awesome

Tifa's great, too, though. Very high quality matchup.
---

despite my topic, both of these characters are damn solid, and I'm glad to see them in division finals
---

Time to go rally Auron or something.

Everyone knows Link is going to win. He also has no character. Ironic how he wins. Nintendo characters are lame.
---

somehow Auron might be the weakest character in the Legends bracket
---

I liked Luigi more before these contests. Luigi clutching out victories over a bunch of characters I like more has soured me over the years.

I guess I kinda like Luigi still but yeah I prefer Tifa to win.
---

Something to note:

Mega Man X (2013c) has a strength of 37.97 against Base Link.
Luigi (2013c) has a strength of 36.57 against Base Link.
Mega Man X51.84%27,975
Luigi48.16%25,985
Mega Man X wins with 51.84% of the vote!
