Quite frankly, Ceej ought to milk that pic for all it's worth. I'm not a big fan of Snake's, but even I'm getting tired of getting crappy pic after crappy pic for the guy.

Quiz question: Should DKC be considered its own series?

I personally think not. It'd be like excluding SMW and on from the Super Mario Bros. series, or separating MG1-2 from MGS1-4.

it's painful to see Super Metroid below Metroid Fusion.

The SSB effect. Like it or not, SSB/M was the first time many people, including myself, were exposed to Samus. And I'm expecting SM to be among the most popular downloads, if not THE most popular, on the Wii's virtual console.

Hell yes. DKC has a totally different gameplay style and presentation from the 80s DK games.

One could make a case for DK64, Jungle Beat, etc. being part of the DKC series, but most of those games don't live up to the SNES games anyway.

If CT isn't available for download on the Wii, Crono will eventually break the Noble Nine. If it is, he has nothing to worry about, and the NN will remain intact for one more generation.

Crono made it to the finals of last year's character contest. Chrono Trigger also placed high recently. Why would you think Crono would suddenly drop in overall popularity?

Slowflake | Posted 5/31/2006 9:43:45 PM | message detail
What we saw of CT in the last character battle was rather worrying, at least in my point of view. Being almost on par with Sonic and Megaman is NO GOOD, and Snake looks to be on the way up as well. But entering double-digit-land in the rankings? I'm skeptical. He could end up #9 at worst in a few years, I say.

Of course, if CT is downloadable, it's a moot point. Heck, maybe the old FF characters could get a hand if the right conditions are met.

And with that, I'm off to bed. Bye!

Mario, Samus, Sonic, Solid Snake, Bowser, Ganondorf, Tifa, and Vincent are all characters not far from Crono that have just as much reason or moreso to gain soon. Not to say everyone will get ahead of him and such, but Crono may be dropping in the rankings soon.

I sadly foresee Mega Man becoming the weakest Noble Niner soon enough.

Why would Crono drop now after 11 years going strong? Sure he can't sustain this forever, but I don't see him dropping anytime soon. Maybe like 10 years or so when most of the current demographic has changed. But as of now? Chrono Trigger is still the third most popular game on the site, and until otherwise, Crono will still probably be a Noble Niner.

The years can't be helping, and another generation of systems and the younger fans it will bring probably won't do it any favors either. If it hadn't been for the Virtual Console, I would definitely be counting on Crono dropping...but, as is, I suspect he'll stay steady for who knows how long.

Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted 5/31/2006 10:21:46 PM | message detail
I don't think Crono is going to drop because there is really no reason for him to just lower in opinion when GameFAQs hold Chrono Trigger in such high regard over a decade after its release. It still can work on normal emulation to get people to play it. Even though it hasn't been confirmed, I think Chrono Trigger on the Virtual Console is basically a guarantee at this point. I would be shocked if it were not there.

That said, everyone else below and around him do have reason to see increases with the next-generation of consoles and games coming out. Unless Square announces a remake or sequel with him as the main character, it's unlikely he'll just skyrocket. It would be nice if he could get an appearance in Kingdom Hearts III though. Anyway, there's just a lot of reason for everyone else to catch up to him.

I think the Noble Nine and a few of the characters right outside the Noble Nine are going to be really, really close to each other in a couple of years. The only clear gap should be Cloud, Link, Sephiroth and then everyone else.

Get working on a CT remake, Square!!

Where am I?
LessThan3Presea | Posted 5/31/2006 10:27:40 PM | message detail
Because I'm extremely bored, I decided to make what would be the 2005 bracket if it had been done in 4x16 format. I took some liberty in determining where you make the break in the seeding, but it works. Granted, not much changes (no first round matches change), but it does create a few other interesting matchups:

Mushroom Division

(1) Mario
(16) Joanna Dark

(8) Ness
(9) Carl Johnson

(5) Bowser Koopa
(12) Chun-Li

(4) Lloyd Irving
(13) Albert Wesker

(6) Zero
(11) Ryu Hayabusa

(3) Ryu
(14) Rikku

(7) Tidus
(10) King of All Cosmos

(2) Samus Aran
(15) Yuri Hyuga

Of note: Mario's road to the Final Four gets even EASIER due to three straight SFF matches now. Ryu/Zero COULD be interesting though, perhaps to see if we get any SFF and see how the winner holds up against Samus.

Gear Division

(1) Solid Snake
(16) Manny Calavera

(8) Vivi Orunitia
(9) Princess Zelda

(5) Ganondorf
(12) Yuna

(4) Sora
(13) Agent 47

(6) Kratos
(11) Alucard

(3) Auron
(14) Big Boss

(7) Riku
(10) Frog

(2) Kirby
(15) Cecil Harvey

Of note: That Ganondorf/Sora matchup could be interesting this year depending on where you think Ganon is. Snake/Ganon could still be interesting (once again), depending on where you think Ganon is. Auron/Kirby could be pretty good as well, and seeing how the winner holds up against Snake (or Kirby/Ganondorf if you think he beats Snake) would be nice.

Flood Division

(1) Master Chief
(16) CATS

(8) Donkey Kong
(9) Sam Fisher

(5) Gordon Freeman
(12) Leon Kennedy

(4) Crono
(13) Zidane Tribal

(6) Kefka Palazzo
(11) Tommy Vercetti

(3) Revolver Ocelot
(14) Pac-Man

(7) Yoshi
(10) Laharl

(2) Dante Sparda
(15) Terra Branford

Of note: Not too much interesting here, though seeing how Pac-Man would fare against Vercetti (granted, that four-pack had two of the closest matches of the contest, so we COULD see a swing if they were to take place today) would be worth it. Yoshi/Dante might be interesting. Crono's road to the Final Four becomes even easier, just like Mario.

Chaos Division

(1) Sonic the Hedgehog
(16) Jin Kazama

(8) Kratos Aurion
(9) Diablo

(5) Magus
(12) Knuckles the Echidna

(4) Luigi
(13) KOS-MOS

(6) Tifa Lockhart
(11) Vyse the Legend

(3) Squall Leonhart
(14) Geno

(7) Sarah Kerrigan
(10) Vincent Valentine

(2) Mega Man
(15) Jin Kazama

Of note: Mario/Sonic lightweight version in Luigi/Knuckles, and it could be a good matchup as well. Seeing how each fares against Sonic (if Knux can resist SFF and if Luigi can pull a "Shadow" against Sonic) is a worthwhile investment. Squall/Tifa might be the best new match this format gives us.

LessThan3Presea | Posted 5/31/2006 10:55:57 PM | message detail
Still bored, so it's SC2K2 in 8x8 format!

Mushroom Division

(1) Mario
(8) Servbot

(4) Spyro the Dragon
(5) Morrigan Aensland

(3) Alucard
(6) Miles “Tails” Prower

(2) Donkey Kong
(7) Bub

Of note: Could Alucard take DK? Most years, I think most would take that pick without thinking, but after last year...who knows?

Midgar Division

(1) Cloud Strife
(8) Fox McCloud

(4) Knuckles the Echidna
(5) Akira Yuki

(3) Crono
(6) Simon Belmont

(2) Gordon Freeman
(7) Tina Armstrong

Of note: No Snake/Knuckles! Now it becomes Cloud/Knuckles...Crap. Seeing if Crono can resist SFF against Cloud as CT seemingly did against FFVII would be intriguing.

Raider Division

(1) Lara Croft
(8) Chop Chop Master Onion

(4) Ryo Hazuki
(5) Guybrush Threepwood

(3) Kasumi
(6) Aeris Gainsborough

(2) Dante
(7) Q*Bert

Of note: Well, Dante got 46% on Vincent. How much weaker than he is Aeris? Enough to give Dante the win? Lopen would certainly think so!

Gear Division

(1) Solid Snake
(8) Squall Leonhart

(4) Pikachu
(5) PaRappa the Rapper

(3) Terry Bogard
(6) Aya Brea

(2) Duke Nukem
(7) Iori Yagami

Of note: Man, this division is a JOKE. I suppose Aya/Duke could be a nice matchup though and watching Solid Snake smoke the yellow rat would be a treat. Interesting to note that Snake makes the Final Four in this format. Perhaps 8x8 is the way to go for him!

Wakka Wakka Division

(1) Pac-Man
(8) Goemon

(4) Abe
(5) Kyo Kusanagi

(3) Bomberman
(6) Kane

(2) Max Payne
(7) Dirk the Daring

Of note: This MIGHT be the most pathetic division ever. Could Bomberman or Max Payne challenge Pac-Man? Probably not...

Hyrule Division

(1) Link
(8) Little Mac

(4) Sephiroth
(5) Gabe Logan

(3) Samus Aran
(6) Ken Masters

(2) Serious Sam
(7) Mr. Driller

Of note: Heh, the semifinal becomes a second round match here, and Samus Aran gets a 90% blowout this time around. All I've gotta say is...Poor Pac-Man. If Luigi and Yoshi were able to SFF him, I wonder what Link could do.

Chaos Division

(1) Sonic the Hedgehog
(8) Pitfall Harry

(4) Tidus
(5) Claire Redfield

(3) Mega Man
(6) Ms. Pac-Man

(2) Ryu
(7) CATS

Of note: Sonic and Mega Man just can't get enough of each other, heh. It all boils down to that match.

Cortex Division

(1) Crash Bandicoot
(8) Ulala

(4) Scorpion
(5) Kazuya Mishima

(3) Strider Hiryu
(6) Raziel

(2) Jill Valentine
(7) Kirby

Of note: Well, I guess we can't escape a 7 seed winning a division in SC2K2, after all. Kirby rolls through this one, and we'd get to see how he handles Sonic/Mega Man.

SC2K3 in 8x8 format!

Hyrule Division

(1) Link
(8) AiAi

(4) Pikachu
(5) Fox McCloud

(3) Squall Leonhart
(6) Jill Valentine

(2) Sam Fisher
(7) Magus

Of note: No escaping Squall > Magus this time! Other than that, a pretty boring division.

Zebes Division

(1) Samus Aran
(8) Isaac

(4) Zero
(5) Scorpion

(3) Bowser Koopa
(6) Ness

(2) Master Chief
(7) Felix

Of note: Well, seeing if Zero and Bowser hold their own against Samus might be interesting. Neither did so against Mario, but Samus folded as well. Could the Koopa King get a little rSFF?

Midgar Division

(1) Cloud Strife
(8) CATS

(4) Auron
(5) Miles “Tails” Prower

(3) Sora
(6) Aeris Gainsborough

(2) Yoshi
(7) Conker

Of note: Well, we'll get to see just how SFF resistant Aeris is. Yoshi shouldn't be too much of a challenge, really.

Chaos Division

(1) Sonic the Hedgehog
(8) Ken Masters

(4) KOS-MOS
(5) Crash Bandicoot

(3) Tidus
(6) Ganondorf

(2) Luigi
(7) Ratchet

Of note: Could Luigi work some magic against Ganondorf? I would hope so. Sonic/Ganondorf might be interesting, but the Blue Blur should handle it.

Mushroom Division

(1) Mario
(8) Captain Olimar

(4) Wario
(5) Shadow the Hedgehog

(3) Alucard
(6) Bomberman

(2) Crono
(7) Tom Nook

Of note: Mario/Crono does not get avoided this time. Alucard doesn't stand much of a chance here.

Jenova Division

(1) Sephiroth
(8) Raziel

(4) Lara Croft
(5) Princess Zelda

(3) Ryu
(6) Duke Nukem

(2) Tommy Vercetti
(7) Kite

Of note: Ummm...Nothing really. It's rather boring. Sephy finally beats something from Zelda, and Ryu's streak of not losing with less than 40% would have lasted one contest.

Gear Division

(1) Solid Snake
(8) Raiden

(4) Knuckles the Echidna
(5) Yuna

(3) Donkey Kong
(6) Vyse the Legend

(2) Dante Sparda
(7) Ryo Hazuki

Of note: Snake/Knuckles returns! Is DK/Dante a worthwhile matchup? Who knows? Solid Snake probably takes the winner easily either way.

20XX Division

(1) Mega Man
(8) Captain Olimar

(4) Pac-Man
(5) Kefka Palazzo

(3) Gordon Freeman
(6) Max Payne

(2) Kirby
(7) Ramza Beoulve

Of note: Ah, a battle of two characters who have never lost with less than 40%. Could Kirby change that?


Man, SC2K3 is pretty boring in this format...

Hyrule Division

(1) Link
(8) CATS

(4) Ganondorf
(5) Alucard

(3) Magus
(6) Luca Blight

(2) Luigi
(7) Pac-Man

Of note: Magus/Luigi should be a good match, but the green plumber would get a rude welcome to his first Sweet Sixteen.

Mushroom Division

(1) Mario
(8) JC Denton

(4) Kefka Palazzo
(5) Knuckles the Echidna

(3) Tommy Vercetti
(6) Max Payne

(2) Master Chief
(7) Crash Bandicoot

Of note: Man, Knux can't catch a break, but can he do like Shadow did and overperform a bit against Mario? Then we get old school icon vs. modern day icon in the divisional finals. How would MC hold up?

20XX Division

(1) Mega Man
(8) Earthworm Jim

(4) Tidus
(5) Shadow the Hedgehog

(3) Frog
(6) Liquid Snake

(2) Zero
(7) Protoman

Of note: Before Frog got exposed last year, Frog/Zero would have sounded interesting. Other than that, boring division.

Gear Division

(1) Solid Snake
(8) Tanner

(4) Bowser Koopa
(5) Guybrush Threepwood

(3) Yoshi
(6) Ryo Hazuki

(2) Crono
(7) Conker

Of note: Solid Snake faces a couple of rematches here, and we actually get an alteration to the Final Four with Crono winning out here.

Midgar Division

(1) Cloud Strife
(8) Duke Nukem

(4) Vyse the Legend
(5) Laharl

(3) Ness
(6) Jak

(2) Squall Leonhart
(7) Bomberman

Of note: Well...Nothing really. Ness gets doubled by Squall instead of Auron. That's about it.

Jenova Division

(1) Sephiroth
(8) Sly Cooper

(4) Sam Fisher
(5) Gordon Freeman

(3) Viewtiful Joe
(6) Miles “Tails” Prower

(2) Ryu Hayabusa
(7) Jill Valentine

Of note: Even if Gordon wins, Sephy awaits. Tails vs. Hayabusa would be a good match.

Chaos Division

(1) Sonic the Hedgehog
(8) Terry Bogard

(4) KOS-MOS
(5) Ryu

(3) Sora
(6) HK-47

(2) Dante Sparda
(7) Ratchet

Of note: Sora/Dante is an appealing matchup, and could the Keyblade wielder avoid collapsing against Sonic if he wins?

Zebes Division

(1) Samus Aran
(8) Lara Croft

(4) Kirby
(5) Kain

(3) Vivi Orunitia
(6) Donkey Kong

(2) Auron
(7) Scorpion

Of note: Hey, Kirby outdid Samus in the (unadjusted) stats! Upset alert! Hmmm...FFIX fan favorite vs. FFX fan favorite: Who wins, and is there any SFF?

I suppose there is a possibility that he'll post the bracket later today seeing as how it would still be June 1st when he did it.


... But I'm tired of trying to rationalize this every damn time the expectation is not met. Give us an update, give us a bracket, or just completely scrap the entire idea all together. It's ridiculous that things have gone on this long with no word from him or anything.

Someone asked a question a bit earlier regarding the poll haveing live updates. The poll today did have real-time results change. I'll keep track on the next few polls to see if this keeps up.

Since I was up to check if a match would be posted, I FVed and then refreshed for a few minutes. And yes, the first 5 minutes of polls are still insta-update; everything from my 9th vote through vote 277 at the 5 minute mark came in instantly.

Is there any way to contact CJay so he can know that this board is about to implode?

It seems unlikely that he cares at this point.
