TJF and/or a horrid Kefka pic?

Will you people please stop with blaming Kefka's picture for everything? It's almost like an automatic reflex used to compensate for his crappiness. He almost always has that picture.

And before people bring up Kefka/Wesker, be reminded that Luca Blight lines up with Magus if nothing happened there. He actually increases, so if anything, Kefka might have underperformed.

I just want to see how Kefka does with his standard sprite and/or Angel pic against standard opposition without SFF one day. Just to see if there's *really* any difference.

A regular sprite might make a difference, but I seriously doubt his last boss sprite would. I mean, you basically have to complete the game to recognize it, so why wouldn't you know who Kefka was in the first place?

Yeah, I'm not saying it would boost his recognizability factor, but it's a bigger casual draw than an effeminate clown or an indistinguishable piece of lettuce...

And Diablo is starting to pull in 300 votes an update.

Kratos vs. Diablo - Bracket: Diablo - Vote: Kratos (22/25)

As much as I like Tifa and Vincent (two of the top three characters in the game, with Red XIII being the other), I think I will vomit if they meet eachother in the Final Four. That would be the height if GameFAQs fanboyism. Sonic SHOULD be able to take care of Tifa, and Mega Man if not, and Crono SHOULD be able to take care if Vincent.

"Siiiiiinging in the rain, I'm siiiiiiiiinging in the rain!"

The jump was about 9%, it's been like that all day though...Kratos makes a huge jump, Diablo wins a couple updates, Kratos gains a small amount, Diablo gets a big jump...no real flow to this match

.09%, dang typos

Mithos probably performed well against Kefka because NOBODY who didn't know who Kefka was probably would not have voted for him, especially with him looking like that. Kefka doesn't really have the appeal that would make you want to vote for him....

At least in the Wesker pic, someone could look at the overall pic and vote for the angel with the heaven background instead of the random guy just standing there. I know it won't account for THAT much, but with characters as weak as Wesker and Mithos, every little bit can make a difference.

And in 4 updates, Kratos has manage to cut .18 off of Diablo's percent and cancel out that random spike.

Diablo also only increased his lead by 16. Damn impressive from Kratos.

It still confuses me how Diablo is the only PC character with any semblence of strength. Everyone else, Kerrigan, Freeman, etc. are complete crap. So I ask, why Diablo? Not that I'm complaining, because Diablo kicks butt.

Random thought: Magus was outlasted by losers such as Geno, Jin, Vyse, Gordon Freeman and Laharl. Ouch.

No, but one site can't account for that big a difference. Diablo got 35% on Ganondorf without any linkage whatsoever.

It probably just goes down to the name. If Half-Life was called "Gordon Freeman", or Starcraft "Kerrigan", not only would the games have crappy names, but the characters might perform a little better.

Because Dialbo has some personality? PC gamers are pretty mature mostly, they probably don't care for someone like Freeman.

Kerrigan is just fodder.

Currently: 23/25 | Next: Diablo
The only matched I changed; I am perhaps destined to lose the point.

Diablo has a grand total of ONE LINE throughout two gargantuan games. Great personality, there. He's evil. So?

Don't get me wrong, I love the big guy. It's just that Diablo is hardly Mr. Personality. If personality mattered, Kerrigan wouldn't be reduced to 21% on Vincent.

I asked because I haven't played Diablo.

Kerrigan, for whatever reason, is just not linked to Starcraft by most people.


Ok so that's not it. Well Diablo's pretty big. I think the series outsold the Half-Life series. Plus, Diablo is automatically recognized as being from Diablo. Even with all this, he's still pretty weak. PC characters just don't perform on gameFAQs.

Yeah, I know he's not able to hang with big console names. But I was asking why is he so far ahead of the other PC characters.

Diablo outsold Starcraft and Half-Life in NA. It's also the kind of game that gets a lot of FAQ-visiters.

So that's

1) more sales
2) relatively more people on gameFAQs knowing about it
3) automatically recognizable as from Diablo

Being the face of your game and having the same name as the title can only help Diablo. Look at Crono.

*points to Crono and Zelda*

Very easy explanation, I think.



*gets to the 7th "Your Sanctuary" location in EarthBound*

Holy sweet Jesus, and people were whining when Ness beat CJ's ass?! HA HA HA HA !! Some people wouldn't know a great character if said character carried around cans that said CANNED PERSONALITY on them. Ness kicks ass.

The only reason I wouldn't want to see that is because of the potential SFF that could occur. Other than that, I'm all for it. Heh.

Cloud Strife: What’s going to happen to the Planet?
Sephiroth: That… will be for you to decide.

Crono doesn't display any personality. He follows Marle around and agrees with everything she says like the whipped little boy that he is. I have nothing against mute characters at all (see: Ness, Tir, that guy from Suikoden 2 whose name I think is Riou). It's fine to be a mute if you're still given an awesome personality, and if you play through EarthBound, Ness's personality is all over the place.

Crono constantly displayed a personality, regardless of whether or not you're willing to recognize it. He didn't have any development, but it was quite clear he had a personality. I'm not talking about just that one scene either, there were plenty of others that gave it away.

I'd love to see Terra and Vincent in the Final Four. This would entail Vincent beating Squall and Crono, and Tifa beating Sonic and Mega Man. I don't particularly like any of those four characters, especially the last two. Sonic and Mega Man have become such jokes to the industry these days, thanks to companies who don't know how to quit while they're ahead.

Sonic was on the N-Gage, for crissakes.

I've beaten the game to death three times. You can sing Crono's praises all you wish, but you'll be quite wrong. He nods his head on occasion to agree with Marle and has one good scene where he decides to do something on his own. Ness completely and utterly kicks his ass.
