Alright yeah this is over.

Fuck you so much, Mario. Fuck you so fucking much.

Mate he cost you 8 points

He cost me 32

XIII would have a good shot at winning the whole contest if Mario clutched here (especially if he then went on to beat Zelda in the salty runback, which would equate to 16 lost points here).

I'm 31st and would probably be top 10 if Mario had beat Zelda as a lot of people above me in the guru had snake winning that match

Top 10 ain't winning the contest but yeah still annoying

Good job Crono and Samus, great percentage moves on the last 3 hours!

I guess Cloud had a decent early vote now? He's lost gobs of percentage to both Link and Crono.

I would guess Cloud gets around 53% against Mario, assuming he ends at 56% again after Europe has its say. That's based on the 58/42 Mario/Bowser ratio. I'm rooting for Cloud against Samus, but she's probably the favorite.

Im 12. I had Mario beating Zelda. I also had Samus making it all the way back to Mario before losing. I wouldve won the whole thing if that all planned out. I felt sick once Zelda beat Mario, but seeing Samus bearing him too makes me feel better.

Youl probably finish top 10. Not many people would have backed samus to make it to the losers finals imo

I have Mario winning the contest LOL. (though if Samus wins here, Zelda wins battle 149, and rSFFs Link into oblivion via last day vote rebellion against Zelda in the Finals, I could still place in the Top 10. LOLOLOL)

That is quite a crazy upset pick for someone who was so accurate the rest of the bracket lol
---

ayyy lmao in the year where Mario was poised to finally rise to #2 and over-come all the non-Nintendo between him and Link over the years (Snake, Cloud, Crono, Sephiroth) he jobs to two ladies from his own company instead.
---

Why are people saying this is over?

Lead is less than 100. Mario won in Europe last time and extended his lead to over 700 by the end of the first match.
---

Also if Mario does in fact lose this can we nominate him for Turd of the contest??
---

nah it just means people gave him way too much credit just for being FREAKIN' MARIO when he'd done very little to warrant being called the clear #2 character in many years

To be fair with the Nintendo switch boost and Odyssey can you blame people?

Then he put up 60% on Sephiroth.

Turns out sephiroth was an absolute joke.

I thought about this
But is going down from #2 to #3/4 in the N9 ranking really that bad? Snake dropped more
---

The reality is Mario, Samus, and Zelda are interchangeable on any given day. Weve already seen Mario and Samus swap (assuming Samus wins today, which she will), and Zelda went from barely beating Snake (who got murked by Samus) to barely beating Mario (who barely beat Samus).

The only questionable person still is Cloud. Hes certainly weaker than the four Nintendos but he would have a good match against Snake.

well I mean Mario is still very close to being #2 (at least directly when you throw him up against Samus and Zelda, although it's murkier when we start discussing indirect strength)

but he's not quite as far ahead of the rest of the field as some people thought he might be
---

This contest is still going on? g'damn. I tuned out a while ago >_>

Link
Big gap
Samus
Zelda
Mario
normal gap
Cloud
Snake
Sephiroth
Crono
Mega Man
Sonic

People been hating on Sephiroth but if not for specifically going against Tifa, he wouldve beaten most of the non-Nintendos.

I like how there's a normal gap between Zelda and Snake despite Zelda beating Snake with less than 51%

How big is the normal gap like 0.3%?
---

Is Pikachu stronger than Sonic?
---

Because she clearly upgraded since that battle. Unless you are trying to tell me Snake would beat Mario.

Pikachu is stronger than Sonic. Tifa might be too. And MMX.

Snake beating Mario wouldn't shock me. I definitely think he gets a lot closer than what he got on Samus

Right now I wouldnt bet Mario whoever hes facing.
---

Snake would not beat Mario. Snake fell off a lot. He would still dominate a non-N9 bracket, but he isnt among the upper echelon like the last few contests.

Snake probably doesn't beat Mario, but he could. Mario is clearly not stronger than Samus if he's struggling for his life even with the Hierarchy in his corner.
---

Snake went even with Zelda, blew out Sonic, and blew out Auron. His falloff is less than you think.
---

With any luck, well get a few bonus matches:

Cloud v. Snake (Snake won last time, but I dont think itd happen this time)

Tifa v. Sonic

Sephiroth v. Mario

Cloud beat Snake last time they faced, actually.

we also don't need to see Sephiroth vs. Mario again
---

Alternatively:

Mario v. Cloud
Snake v. Sephiroth
Tifa v. Pikachu

Moonroof posted...

I wouldnt go that far. TIfa might be 50/50. Pikachu is definitely stronger than tifa

Because theres no way Luigi is that strong.
---

Youre right. I forgot Mario whooped him.

We don't need to see Sephiroth against any Noble Niner other than maybe Sonic.

2013 snake destroys everyone bar Link so he has felll off. But yeah not that much.

For Noble 9

Link clear 1

Snake clear 7
Sonic clear 8
Sephiroth clear 9

Samus is for sure ahead of Mario.
Cloud is for sure ahead of Crono
Crono is for sure ahead of MM.

Those are the only things we know for certain.

(Anyone arguing 7-9 is fucking deluded one way or another).

A lot is going to depend on Samus/Mario Cloud.

If Cloud is blown out, then that's it.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT NON DENIABLE THIS IS THE ORDER

1 Link
2 Samus
3 Mario
4 Cloud
5 Crono
6 MegaMan
7 Snake
8 Sonic
9 Sephiroth.

If you want to argue that, shut the fuck up, you are wrong.

If Cloud blows him/her out.

Then you could actually have

2 Cloud
3 Crono
4 MM
5 Samus
6 Mario.

This is known as the best timeline.

If it's a close match however... then we can actually run in to this funness.

Link

Cloud
Samus
Crono
Mario
MM.

Legitimately splitting 3 different 50/50 matches with a character in between.

But more than likely Cloud is going to murder Samus/Mario and we just have to find out (through sff on Crono, so have fun) where Crono/MM slot in between the other 3

You think Seph fell off that much? I admit he got owned Mario badly but...that was peak-Mario before the Nintendo hierarchy bounced him to the bottom.

---

There was massive fuckery in that Seph Tifa match. You cant go by that at all.

And as much as Id like to put Crono in the top five, hes simply not. Its too bad he went against Cloud because the SFF makes it murky.

Can't wait for Samus to beat Cloud almost as badly as she beat Tifa
---

Samus is going to destroy Cloud. If SFF didnt exist, shed get like 45% on Link. She might even beat 2013 Snake.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3850-final-rounds-quarterfinal-link-vs-sonic

Sonic only slightly better than Luigi? It's more likely than you think!

Samus needs to pull away from Mario first.

Snake was the closest to beating Zelda out of any character so far though

No proof of this. Basically lines up with Samus/Mario's results once you take the Nintendo hierarchy into account, which we know for a fact exists. And if an FF7 hierarchy exists, it goes in Sephiroth's direction, not the other way around.

In the NN, there is LITERALLY no way he is not top 5.

He beat MM straight up, and the bottom 3 are the 3 guys who start with "S"

If you mean overall... well yeah.

Zelda is god. But she's also not a NN member.

Yes, but that was before Zelda upgraded. The bandwagon has been moving full-steam ahead ever since she beat Squall.

Someone should go to bed

The hard ones to precisely read are Snake and Cloud. Snake can, theoretically, still be able to beat Mario (I think its very unlikely but we cant be positive yet). Cloud only went against Crono (SFF) and Link (unfair). Though he did murk Alucard, so you would think hes still stronger than weaker.
