So after a question on the discord about whether Zelda was considering an elite before this contest, I noticed there doesn't seem to be a wiki page about that category.

The closest list I found is this one but I wouldn't considere most of the characters on that list as elites (also we appear to have some frauds on that list). The list mentions that high mid carders are called near elites, but I'm pretty sure Elites are supposed to be strong characters who are not in NN so...

Who would you say is an elite ?
I think usually Yoshi and MMX are considered ones, and obviously Pikachu and Zelda seems like they would be in that category too. Tifa is a bit more arguable but might make the cut.

I don't think it's ever been clearly defined, but I always thought elite meant characters of Noble Nine strength. So, the Noble Nine, and anyone stronger than the weakest Noble Niner.

Yoshi definitely not, he's below Luigi and Bowser.

MMX and Tifa are basically the same strength level and they are both very strong, probably both solid near-elites.

Pikachu and Zelda are probably the only non-NN elites right now, at least based on the information provided by this contest.

This, except I don't know if I would consider Sonic and Sephiroth elites anymore.

So you would say we didn't have any non NN elite until this contest ?
Or would Pikachu's results last year against Crono(and Magus) have been considered close enough ?

We've had characters at NN strength before. Magus in 2003 (though later results made it seem like he was a fraud all along). Zero in 2004. Vincent in 2007. I think the nice thing about the NN is the consistency. It's very rare for an outsider to be able to maintain NN strength across multiple years.
