Is everyone so sure Kirby beats Aeris? ...I'm not. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

I'd take Aeris. --- xyzzy |

I'm not quite so sure, especially after KH2 and any potential
overperfoming in either Snake/Bowser or Bowser/Kirby...but still, my
brain screams KIRBY at me for that match. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

I'm not comfortable with that either. She was one of what, three
playable characters that weren't thrown into AC to get UBER FANBOY

Actually, everything Aeris did in that movie was basically fanservice
for her fans. None of her appearances were really...necessary. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

Wait, I take that back. She was. But she was still more prominent than the others. --- Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia. I mean, you're just walking from one side of a level to the other at a tenth of Sonic's speed... -vego |

Honestly, you could take everyone out of that movie except Cloud and
have him fight the air constantly and it would be extremely similar.

This is just insane. --- Series Contest Score: 14/16 Today's Pick: The Legend of Zelda |

That's a move in the right direction. A little bit higher, Zelda... --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

And Reno's complete ineffectiveness at getting the job done at any time. Can't forget that. >_> --- Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia. I mean, you're just walking from one side of a level to the other at a tenth of Sonic's speed... -vego |

And Reno's complete ineffectiveness at getting the job done at any time. I thought the explosives on the highway were pretty effective.

Probably... just to show Cloud's mind is never completely where it ought to be. That's it. --- Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia. I mean, you're just walking from one side of a level to the other at a tenth of Sonic's speed... -vego |

BOLD STATEMENT: The biggest reason why FFVII is so popular in the first place is because Cloud is clinically insane. Damn right. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Hmm. Well, the parts where she's able to be seen might could be viewed
as fanservice, but her role in the movie as a whole was rather
necessary. But yeah ... --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

She was rather important in the scenes she was in. Yeah, reaching down to throw Cloud higher was absolutely necessary. I'm not saying Aeris herself was unimportant in the story, but her physical appearances themselves were, for the most part, basically unnecessary. --- Some stories can't be told by words.

How about, he reads an awesome one, then makes it? Huh? HUH? Now, on to a more serious topic... what do you think would be worse, having the contest season end in early November, or nixing the character battle entirely and have one next year, with twice as many possibilities for contest-to-contest variation? I'm not terribly fond of either option, truth be told. --- Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia.

starting the contest in November. no, seriously, I think that would be fun. --- xyzzy |

I would rather have one that runs into November over not having one at all. Unless, of course, we get something in the Winter. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Starting the contest in November would suck because it doesn't even make considering Cloud for an upset worthwhile. --- I am the man who makes the impossible possible. I am the man, the legend: Solid Snake! |

From Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted 7/18/2006 12:46:03 AM | #076 I would rather have one that runs into November over not having one at all. Unless, of course, we get something in the Winter. That'd be a good idea. We could have the character battle in the winter, then next summer a second game contest. All the big early titles for the PS3 and Wii would be eligible by then... *drools* --- Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia.

Yeah, I've basically given up on Cloud beating Link at this point (I
can't envision the match taking place except right as TP is coming out,
which means massive hype and massive Nintendo influx). I'd like to see
how much of a difference the season itself has, and what better way
then to do a proper 'Winter Contest'? Hey, maybe the Winter Voters will prefer Sephiroth or something. <.< --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Depends on what part of summer the nominations open. MGS4 probably won't come out until July. --- I am the man who makes the impossible possible. I am the man, the legend: Solid Snake! |

From LegendarySnake | Posted 7/18/2006 12:48:34 AM | #083 Depends on what part of summer the nominations open. MGS4 probably won't come out until July. You could apply that to just about any time frame, really. Big games are constantly coming out, and you're likely to always have some unfair casualty.

Not just that but having a character contest in between Twilight
Princess release and MGS4/SSBB release is the best chance that a
character is going to have to finnaly break into the Noble Nine before
it becomes inpentrable. --- Where am I? |

I can't think of a bigger PS3 game than MGS4 though. You'd basically be
castrating Sony. Not that NintendoFAQs would mind, or anything. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

I'm not sure if voting patterns have shifted more heavily towards the
first hour or so since the start of the contest, but LOZ is currently

Dear Ceej, I demand that the speculative Summer Contest featuring Games that is predicated on the Character contest running through Winter not start until MGS4 is released. This is despite the MGS series and their propensity for delays, so add in a good half a year or so to your projections. Oh, and Soul Caliber is a far more common misspelling than Crhono. But Chrono would have owned as a 7 seed regardless. Your friend. Kay Aitch --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.
