Boring, but comforting. There's a great deal of solace involved with
seeing this match play out pretty much how we'd have always expected it
to. After having to listen to so many poorly formed argmuents stating
that the Xstats "r teh phail" it's nice to have some things go down
like they should. Like, say... yesterday.

Crono under 71%. I would love it if Vercetti dipped him under a doubling. Almost no chance of it happening, but I would love it.

Yeah, not happening. Crono lobbed the poor bum's head off before he thought of looking for the Mac-10.

I was thinking the same thing. a calm day is something we haven't had in a week, and I'm liking it.
also, simple matches tend to be more linear and thus are easier to predict.

Right, I need a day for rest before I have to go on and on for thrirty
posts on how owned so many of you were (that being in the future) by
Vincent. Oh, and the praying I'm going to have to do for
Knux>Squall. I have a lot of gods to contact and all.

I'm afraid I have to say you're just blind, then. Vincent is by no
means a favorite in this topic. Yes, most have seen the light and
realize he isn't weak but many of those do so quite begrudgingly. Other
than HM and myself, I can't recall anyone outright calling him one of
their favorite characters.

If you insist "Solid ****" made a difference... (Regarding: Snake vs. Bowser)
From: lettuce Kefka | Posted: 8/29/2005 12:04:02 PM | Message Detail
Now, I'm sure there some people out there believe Bowser will beat Snake after performing better against Ryu than Snake did. But, a lot of you guys also say that Snake underperformed significantly with the "Solid ****" picture against Frog. Now, Snake also had a "Solid ****" picture against Ryu, now, so surely he should have significantly underperformed there, too. Now, so what looked like Bowser performing better is not necessarily true, if you take that into account.
Now, I don't know if someone else has pointed this out, as I haven't bothered looking. But, I don't really care, if they have, this point needed to be made twice (or more >_>).

ha. the only people who would say that are people that are huge Vincent
fans. those same people are the ones who think Vincent is the
strongest, too. that always worries me.
looking at today's match, Crono should be falling under 70% soon. this is a nice little way to measure how much SFF occurred between Crono and Kefka.

I gave him a doubling in the Oracle. after seeing Magus and Frog, I kind of expected Crono to underperform a bit.
I still say the MM/Sonic/Tifa winner has a chance at him. we'll see about Vincent.

In the case of Vincent, I expect him to beat Dante. Then he will face
the winner of Knuckles/Squall. I still believe that Knux has a CHANCE
to win (not saying he will, just the possibility is there). If he does:
then I know he will beat Vincent as he will be on a roll.

Wow, what a predictable result. Well, at least there's a CT character
out there that won't falter... too bad it's just Crono. He better not
drop too much with the day vote though (which I guess is going to come
later, what with school beginning for many people and all), because the
closer he comes to Megaman's percentage, the more difficult it'll be
for him later on.
Oh, and pull yer heads outta the sand everyone, Vincent and Tifa ARE dangerous. Jeez, some people here have the attention span of the modern gamer.

This is pretty much what I expected from Crono. I really don't get why
anyone was thinking he had taken a drop. Frog and Magus were overrated
from the start. It's just too bad we realized it too late (well, didn't
particularly matter in Frog's case, as he was a 1 and done regardless).
But Crono has repeatedly proven his strength. You don't do what he did against Mario THREE times on a fluke.

All the Vincent talk amuses me. A few days before Kerrigan, it was
"Vincent will probably beat Dante, but his road likely stops there."
Then it was "Vincent definitely beats Dante, and is a threat to win the
division." Then, "Vincent isn't touched in this division now that Magus
is gone." Now it's gotten all the way to "Vincent takes out Crono and
wins the contest." Seriously, stop hyping based off of fodder. I love
Kerrigan and it hurts me to see her as fodder, but after everything
we've seen I simply can't see her being much stronger than Gordon
Freeman, and that's being optimistic. She's in an ensemble cast on a
popular PC game. Sound familiar? You're right, it doesn't. Freeman is
at least a main character.
Vincent will probably beat Dante, but realistically, I see him having all kinds of problems with Squall.

That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end.

Well that depends if Dante increased with DMC3...
If you're generous and bring him to almost 30 on BL after DMC3, then Kerrigan lands around 13.6, CATS level. Eggplant CATS, not face CATS

He just has to win it, for the importance fo my bracket. Maybe he has

characters you can always play with so not everyone will know him.
