I don't see what's all so bad about Dante's picture though; he looks bad-ass enough and I can easily recognize that's Dante, despite never having played DMC (I've watched it be played alot, mind you...just never played it myself).

Dante's not that bad either, on a second look. I guess I just have a bit of a bias against Dante's new haircut. The match pic is actually pretty good all things considered. I don't think Terra is capable of getting official art that's better, really.

Isn't it technically Dante's "old" haircut? Or is that a DMC2 pic?

Crono Vs. Zidane - Bracket: Crono - Vote: Crono

Ya know, for what it's worth, it looks like CJay's gonna give us one match pic at a time this division like he did for the Dream Division. Like the Dream Division, this division's first round is almost already decided. Like the Dream Division, this division has multiple realistic possibilites of who will win the Division Title. Like the Dream Division, there are several FF/Square characters. Like the Dream Division, this division will cost people quite afew points.

All that struck me at once, for whatever reason, heh.

Hmm...against Ratchet, Dante started out strong with the night vote (83%), then started falling at 3:00, continued throughout the morning and day, down to 80%, before making a minor gain with the second night vote to bring it up to 80.25%

Dante won the night vote against Tails (59%), before starting his descent again at 3:00, where Tails brought him down to 57.5% throughout the rest of the match. Again, Dante had a very minor gain with the second night vote, about as much as he did with Ratchet.

Against Sonic, Dante started out at 39% and kept it until between 2:00 and 4:00, the updater has a blank spot. He proceeded to lose 2% up until 12:00 (37%), and from that point on he gained a percent back (38%).

So it looks like Dante is strongest with the first night vote, then he generally doesn't do too well during the day (except against Sonic, oddly enough), and he's decent with the second night vote. Sounds a lot like Kefka, really.

I think Terra will fare better during the day, judging by the kind of people she would appeal to.

Either way, she has no chance whatsoever against Dante.

Even though Dante is bad with the morning/day vote I think he'll gain the most out of the characters in his 4-pack.

I dunno about being worse than Kefka with the day-vote, but I do think she'll be worse with the night vote than Kefka.

I had no idea. I figured Dante would be strong with the day vote and kinda weak with the first night vote. Looks like Terra isn't going to have a lead for any amount of time. (I figured she'd be able to keep it close for a while and then just get rocked in the day)

To comment on the picture

Dante looks badass as always.
Terra fails at TJF and dyes her hair blond just before the match.
---

Wow. Terra looks like a hideous version of Rikku without the recent gaming exposure. She's getting rocked.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

I still think it'll happen, but instead of Terra being able to keep it to a respectable gap during the night (55-45 or so) I'm seeing Dante just jump to 60-40 and increasing all day. Hey... I've been seeing these... I'll join in on the fun.

Fact or Fiction: Will Dante manage a doubling tomorrow?

I think I'm the only one in here that's gonna call this fact.. heh heh.

It would have either been too small or it would've been badly pixelated due to CJayC enlarging it.

Agreed, especially because I have Dante > Vincent. And, if I'm not mistaken, you also have Dante winning in Round 2.

I most certainly hope hes at a higher level than that. He is my, along ( most likely) with alot of other peoples, wild card in this tournament which could give me/us the edge.

Woosh!

Honestly, the relationship between Terra/Kekfa reminds me more of KOS-MOS/Albedo than anything else. Both Terra and KOS-MOS are the central character, but they aren't really the lead, and you spend good bits of time without them. Though I haven't finished XenoSaga yet, Albedo reminds me of Kefka quite a bit at the point I'm at, what with the whole insane guy bent on destruction thing, and seems to be absolutely adored by his fans.
---
Albedo would get 29.57% on KOS-MOS before any SFF, in case you were wondering.

I really think Dante will be a force in this contest, now that DMC3 has come out.
