No Squall, because I haven't played enough of FFVIII to judge him.

You'll like Squall a lot if you've only played the first disc and a half, and perhaps Kingdom Hearts. His character goes straight to hell after that.

And w00t for getting 100 coins on the Rainbow Ride. Second hardest star to get in the entire game, assuming you don't know the Tick Tock Clock very well.

And I've changed my mind on the Tick Tock Clock. That place kicks ass, and it's my second favorite level behind Lethal Lava Land. The Rainbow Ride, however.... God, I hate that place. Every star takes forever to get, and you can work your ass off for nothing if you make one wrong move.

Uh... refresh my memory on what Squall does in D3 that makes him as awesome as Leon. Because from what I remember, Squall is self-conflicted to the point of his party members flat-out telling him what a complete idiot he is.

Ulti hates Sora. ;_;

I don't hate him, but he's arguably the worst part of Kingdom Hearts for me. Riku and Kairi, both of which are extremely generic and overdone characters, have far more development than the main character of a game that doesn't even take its storyline seriously in the first place. Not good.

Tick Tock Clock is great, as long as the clock is stopped. My personal favorites are Jolly Roger Lagoon and Dire Dire Docks, with Tall Tall Mountain close behind.

Rainbow Ride is my favorite. Hardest levels in the game, and you're always on the edge. One wrong move and your sent back to earth.

But after getting the 100 coin star on that level, you feel very happy, because you've beaten the hardest star in the game. Rainbow Road and Tick Tock Clock are the two best levels in that game.

Oh Happy Days for me :)

Squall is essentially the same character throughout. He just shows what's inside on the outside in disc 3. Personality wise, Leon acts pretty much just like his disc 3 and beyond self.

And there's something I've never really understood. Squall haters always criticizes the way he seemingly longs after Rinoa starting in disc 3, and yet...Solid Snake does THE EXACT SAME THING with Meryl in MGS, and NOBODY ever criticizes him for it. Heck, Squall and Snake are so much alike that I'm surprised that I'm apparently the only one who notices this.

While Rainbow Ride is time consuming I still considered it less annoying on my first play through than Wet-Dry World. That place just irritated me to no end, in retrospect.

Anywya, even if it's the second hardest star it's still not all that hard, I did it without complaint nearly a decade ago, after all.

Except that Meryl is actually worth being with. I wouldn't fall for Rinoa in a million years.

...Meryl's not THAT different from Rinoa either. Besides, it's the basic idea that people criticize Squall for apparently falling in love with Rinoa despite apparently showing no interest in her beforehand (which is incorrect, but for argument's sake, I'll let it slide). Solid Snake does the same thing.

7. Tifa
8. Kirby
9. Master Chief (never played Halo -- assuming he's not good, but not completely terrible either)

10. Sonic
11. Sora
12. Ganondorf
13. Mega Man
14. Yoshi
15. Vincent

[gap]

16. Samus

Many of the characters in tiers 3 and 4 are about equal, so much of the ordering there is arbitrary, with the exception of Sonic and Sora being quite high for their tier (more due to the characters below them than them actually being good).

http://picturesofwalls.com

For the hell of it, I've averaged together the percentages of each member of the Noble Nine, up to and including Mario/Zero, seperating Sephiroth into his record with and without the Villain Contest.

Link: 71.58% (out of 17 matches)
Sephiroth (including Sp2k5): 67.4% (out of 20 matches)
Cloud: 67.09% (out of 16 matches)
Sephiroth (not including Sp2k5): 66.13% (out of 15 matches)
Crono: 65.54% (out of 14 matches)
Mega Man: 65.1% (out of 15 matches)
Mario: 63.75% (out of 16 matches)
Samus: 63.12% (out of 15 matches)
Solid Snake: 61.86% (out of 14 matches)
Sonic: 60.38% (out of 13 matches)

Assuming I didn't do any wrong math, of course.

As for MM over Mario, Mega Man's had a ****load of blowouts while Mario's had quite a few close matches. Anyway, I doubt it has any use at all, but what the hell, it's something different.
