In all honesty... this is the first time I've picked a Blizzard character, and felt like it could blow up in my face. I'm very intrested to see how Lloyd performs. I have him going out to Zero, and I'm confident about that, just curious if we have a slightly stronger Vyse on our hands, or a legit middle of the field contender.

Hey, I'm back, not that I was most likely missed, heh, um, but if anyone has the topic before the last one here saved, I'd like to catch the frenzy that must have erupted when the bracket was released. I don't have time quite right now to chat, but if someone could like recap since the bracket was released, I'd appreciate it.

Congratulations to yoblazer, winner of the Spring 2k5 Guru Contest!

Well I'm off to eat... because I'm ****ing starving. Plus Bartz is just that sexy.

Damnit..and Zero did stronger against Sonic then Aeris..(47.66% to 46.98%, and Ryu got 44.46%)

Well, Frog got 48.61% on Solid Snake, and Ryu got 42.74% on Solid Snake, and some people think Bowser could beat Solid.

I win! :-)

It's ridiculous that people believe this matters because "Oh, I missed him on my first playthrough because I didn't use a guide." Yeah, but you know how to get him now, don't you?

This has officially made me believe Vincent >or= Aeris. I'd still take Tifa over him though.

Why do I get the feeling that Kratos from God of War is going to be this year's Ryu Hayabusa?

I've thought that myself. Even if he isn't, Alucard's a hoss to be reckoned with; he's a two-time Sweet Sixteener who's beaten Kirby and held his own against Ganon.

Hell, Chun-Li vs. Big Boss would have been a nice match.

Hell yeah it woulda.

I'm thinking Albedo = KOS-MOS(roughly)

I'm not gonna say a word.

I would take Zero over Bowser, but I would probably take Bowser over Aeris.


And Kratos will upset Diablo, don't you worry!

There's better upsets there, man. How can you say Kefka will be weaker than Kratos?

How the hell is it hard to comprehend Kefka being weaker than Kratos? Is it still not drilled into people's heads that Kefka is weak and can be out done by a number of characters?

I think Lloyd will be around the level of KOS-MOS, with Kratos being slightly above that level. That's enough to put Kratos over Diablo, or at the least, make it an upset worth going with.

Hmm... if round 3 is the sprite round again this year, how about Alucard over Snake? After all, adjusted Alucard = Adjusted Snake exactly, and if we see Solid **** again, there's a definite possibility that we see Alucard winning.

...now that I think about it, there were so many names thrown around to beat up on Snake, he's become the prison ***** of this contest. I mean, Zelda, Vivi, Sora, Alucard, Bowser, Ryu, Tidus... and let's not forget the more obvious Samus and Mario either.

In my restless dreams I see that town...Silent Hill...

I wouldn't be surprised if Lloyd was a lot stronger than many people think.

Sure, he's in a non-Square RPG, and characters like that have never prospered before, but if anyone has the chance, I think it's him. ToS seems to have a huge following on GameFAQs.

I think he can quite easily make it into the Top 32... But then again I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.

:/

Lloyd is such a dick.

Yoblazer did rather well in the guru contest.
Rather well, indeed.

What am I making up exactly? I think I made clear that I projected Lloyd to be around KOS-MOS and Kratos slightly above. I never said it was a fact.

Alucard over Snake would be the most incredible upset ever.

Volgin is one sexy beast....

Why is Zelda the overwhelming favorite in that match? I mean they are basically equal. Only reason Im going Zelda is I think she might have gotten a slight boost from Twilight Princess enough to push her over the top.

That much is my pick for closest match of the contest.

I don't think he's getting past Sora personally. And i'd take Frog over Alucard, too, and he still lost to Solid ****.

Agreed, whole-heartedly. It's a scary match, and I feel a lot of people will be screwed over no matter who wins.

2003 Snake is quite a bit stronger than 2004 Snake. You have to keep this in mind.

I think KHII is going to help him quite a bit. Sora might become Squall's equal, or thereabouts. He'd still get crushed head-to-head, but that's beside the point.

You know, I've heard that Vincent is supposed to be in the game, too, but I'm not sure if that's been confirmed or not. I've also heard rumors of Rinoa, too, which means that Squall would probably return.

Steve Burton .... Cloud Strife (voice)
Molly Keck .... Selphie Tilmitt (voice)

Let me put it this way. Remember that mini game in Resident Evil 4 where you shot at the targets/people. I think that Kingdom Hearts 2 could implement something like this. Except instead of villagers, they could add pictures of Rinoa's and Rosa's head. Better use of both their talents.

On that note, if Zelda increased at the same proportion as Link did, she's at 32.48 on 2k3 Link. Adjusted Snake is at 33.05. Something to think about.
