MMBN4, the worse Mega Man game besides the Game Gear and PC ones sold over a million, that's is not good.

Okay, the Extrapolated Standing Calculator is compiled and ready for action. I'm sending an email creativename's way with it attached; as soon as he puts it up on his site, you guys can try it out.

I'd take Andross over Ultros for sure, but the estimates there would be up in the air. I know I'd take Wily for sure over Sigma too, but, I don't know how much I'd take him by either.

I'd have to think Wily is stronger than Sigma. His match with Ocelot next round looks to be a slobberknocker, and I don't see any reason for either of them to be as weak as Andross.

I'dgo with Wily > Sigma and Andross > Ultros, as well.

What about, say, Nemesis vs. Sigma?

It'd be really close. I can't see Nemesis being weaker than Andross either.

Shew, it would be close...I can't give Nemesis much of an edge on Andross though, so I'd have to give it to Sigma.

Man, Revolver/Sigma and Andross/Nemesis matches would have been alot more controverial pre-contest than what we got, but luckily, we still got some good matches and discussion.

You know, I completely forgot about that Megaman site. It could push Wily past Ocelot if the next match is close.

What is that site, anyway?

I don't believe the Ultros/Sin comparison is being thrown around nearly as much as the Wily/Robotnik one is... and if anyone needs an explanation as to why a Wily/Robotnik comparison is warranted, well... here's your sign.

The link's lower and doesn't have Wily be the focus of it like what Sigma got, plus the site's had some problems today. It hasn't helped Wily like it helped Sigma, however much help it actually was.

I've heard some mixed things, but we'll see. I made sure to go through Chrono Trigger again, then Radical Dreamers again, and now get started on Chrono Cross. The first two were, obviously kick ass beyond imagination and I'm hoping CC can complete the trio of perfect games.

Ansem seriously has a chance at Strider's record for being the dumbest winner ever.

Hmm, I dont know where all of this ansem hate comes from, I personally liked him in Kingdom Hearts, and really only his last bit was annoyingly sora-ish. Ansem isn't going to be a joke contestant, and I expect him to do quite well against Ganon.

Final Fantasy VIII is obviously superior. The only place Chrono Cross gives it a run for its money is the soundtrack.

*off-topic*

Tales of Symphonia is a damn good game once you get into it. It's like MGS3... you have to get used to it first.

By the way, I just left Sheena's village, and I still don't see why people don't like Colette, other than her apologizing for something fifty times in a two-minute conversation.

The people have spoken...

The fans have demanded it...

The kiddies have tried to stop it...protesting to Ceej with a bogus petition...

No it is not a re-release of Operation Wolf...it is...

Steve Illumina Speaks

You know it, noobs! It is the irreverent column that mocks the contest that geeky gamers live breathe and talk in the school cafeterias about for weeks. It can be fav games...it can be fav characters...or villains...or heroes...or joke bosses...or box art. It dont much matter...nerds will flock to it like fat kids to Whoppers. Now, lets get a move on, shall we!

Continuing with the Thanatos 'Jenova' Division...

(1)Sephiroth vs (8)Ramirez
AKA: Mr. GameFAQ vs Manny

Steve's Pick: Duh
Newbie Pick: Duh
Kiddie Pick: Uh...duh
Non Gamer Pick: Even this one gets a 'Duh'

Comments: We continue this tourney with the first lame-o easily predict-o match...that being of course, a Sephy match with an overmatched, outclassed, jobber character.

Naturally, as the 'Sage of Board 8' I cannot resist a chance to mock King Sephy and his dominions of loyal fanboys and fangirls. The Square Legions...all bearing tattoos of Jenova on their arms...pledging eternal loyalty to the Masamune wielder, and vowing to defend the honor of Mako til their dying day.

So then...from the home office in Harrisburg, PA, I give you tonight's Top Ten List:

Top Ten Ways to Spot a Sephirothite

10. Often will run around their backyard with a butcher knife shouting "One with the Planet! One with the Planet!"

9. Bedroom is still covered with FF7 posters from old issues of EGM and LamePro circa 1997.

8. In math class, instead of algebraic equations, spews out Materia Formulas.

7. Tries to train their pet rabbits to race around the living room aka Chocobo Racing and attempts to inter-breed them too hoping for orange and blue ones.

6. Fantasizes about going to the Prom dressed as Cloud and their date as Aeris, or vice versa.

5. Painted their arm black to look like a gun-arm and ran around pretending to shoot their family with it.

4. Knows the Latin to English translation of 'One Winged Angel' (Sephy's song)

3. Writes Square Enix twice a week or more asking when a sequel is coming out.

2. Has not one..but two Jenova tattoos...

And the number 1 way to identify a Sephirothite...

1. Excessive fanboyism displayed on this very site!

Yep...need anything else be said about Sephy and his chances and this site? Nope...did not think so...

Editor's Note: I told the world, and I was right...Dr. W got the job done. Proved as both the 3rd oldest villain here and the first with a personality in the tourney in terms of his date of origin..that he would be too much for that silly octopod!

And that is all I have to say for today. Tune in tomorrow for Vergil & Ghaleon...a bit more suspense in that one...*yawn*

Quotes: Sephy: "I will be one...one with this Website" Ramirez: "Mommy! I dont belong here! Waaah!"

The only time I liked Colette was when she couldn't talk. Apologizing more frequently than Yuna is not cool. Every time she apologized for apologizing too much, I just wanted to smack her. Her "lucky clumsiness" was pretty annoying, too.

I won't say anything until you complete the game, but a I found her about as interesting as a brick. Her personality sucks ass, her backstory is virtually worthless, and she doesn't get any better at any point in the game. Wait, scratch that, her best moment was when she could not speak. Yes, that was her truely incredible ToS moment.

That would've rocked had that been a same time post, HM. Then again, the universe might have collapsed in upon itself with us being in agreement at the exact same time.

And I liked Chrono Cross myself. I just thought some parts of it were a bit excessive, and I hated the Element system.

Heh. Too true on that one. A same time post while saying the same thing would have been crazy. =p


And yeah, I'm thinking I'll like CC. I already started off good with the intro and I've already heard the absolutely incredible soundtrack to the game. And considering I greatly enjoyed all of the two other games in the series, I would imagine this one can't be bad enough for me to dislike it.

Skipping over the annoying parts doesn't magically make her any better. It might make her somewhat tolerable, but it doesn't make her anything close to good.
