And to the uneducated eye (ie. mine), it looks like there are 3 CV characters in that picture. Bingo. Soma does look blurry though...for shame -- using Simon (preferably in the middle of a whip-attack) would have been better. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun?

It hought CV had the advantage when I first looked at the picture, since Marluxia looks so much like a CV character. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Also, the lack of Alucard in the pic is a plus for KH. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

I can't imagine the picture doing much either way. It isn't as though KH has a massive advantage there. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

aren't you the one who has, like, 5500 hours on your FFT game? I trust you didn't spend it all watching the story over and over! --- yzzyx |

From Starion Posted 7/20/2006 10:10:18 PM #231 So the awful (yet funny) translation didn't ruin it for you creativename? The translation doesn't take away from the story at all. A couple of screwey words here and there and minor glitches (l..i..t..t..l..e.. m...o...n...e...y..) aren't bad. ~*ST*~ --- *TRUE RKO King of Board 8* Currently Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY), WC3: Frozen Throne |

I didn't really notice any of the translation stuff in my one
playthrough of FFT. Granted, I was much more focused on the gameplay,
but still... the fact that I didn't notice anything at all probably means it is overblown. --- *Is therealmnm* Proud Supporter of Mega Man X in Best. Series. Ever. Contest |

From the last topic: Come on. Nobody else caught this? Oh well. Looks like it's up to me: "Oh really, Ed? The results tell me differently!" CURSE YOU, LEON And, uhh, Metal Gear with 76.33% of the brackets. People always seem to underestimate Metal Gear. >_> --- This was Ed Bellis. |

From trannyscience Posted 7/20/2006 11:18:41 PM #306 I trust you didn't spend it all watching the story over and over! During all my SCCs, I did read the story in full each time. Someone asked about True Dancers. I tried it, but couldn't get my Gameshark to work right. Not that it matters, because only Wiegraf/Velius would be a more difficult fight for 5 Dancers as opposed to 4 Dancers 1 Bard. ~*ST*~ --- *TRUE RKO King of Board 8* Currently Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY), WC3: Frozen Throne |

And, uhh, Metal Gear with 76.33% of the brackets. People always seem to underestimate Metal Gear. >_> On the contrary, Metal Gear is typically overrated by bracket makers (just look at Snake's prediction percentages in 2k5 up through the match with Bowser...or that Mega Man/Snake 2k3 is one of the lowest prediction percentages ever (granted, a lot of that is Vercetti's fault). Most of the serious brackets taking SC were probably stat-junkies or people desperate for an upset. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal.

I don't see why people are giving KH the huge advantage, I'd say it's more even. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

ehh, MG with 82%. --- yzzyx |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 7/20/2006 8:28:30 PM | message detail |
|
I'm not saying this is pic factor in the slightest, it's just seeing
the two in the actual picture and glancing at it just sends me vibes of
"KH has this one locked up". There's also probably my bias toward
characters working here; perhaps I would feel better if Alucard were in
the picture. --- 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. |

...well, I still say 76.33%. Throw all the "facts" you want at me, Karma Hunter, they cannot penetrate my armor of INANE CRAP. lol Fire Emblem > Metal Gear ...anyway, just saw the pic, and I think KH has a clear advantage. Will it make that much of a difference? I still say no. I think Castlevania is still the frontrunner in the match. --- This was Ed Bellis. |

I thought the translation mistakes in FFT was hilarious. I mean "are you party to their plot" "Defeat Dycedarg's older brother" Thats classic. |

I'm guessing Metal Gear gets 82% of the brackets, I just can't see
serious bracket-makers (meaning not zero or favorite brackets) picking
FE over MG. --- Current Contest Score: 20/20 Next Winner: Metal Gear I'll just put something to fill another line here. |

Was FE expected to do this well on MG, or is it under/overperforming? I figured MG would win it with a larger margin. |

Ed Bellis's Contest Analysis Hey, my first contest analysis! Cool! Castlevania has the advantage of being A SERIES. Kingdom Hearts is, like, two games. NOT A SERIES. (There's that third one that nobody likes, but whatever.) Also, Soma is clearly missing a leg because the other one is wedged up Sora's butt. Winner: Castlevania with 800% --- This was Ed Bellis. |

FE's surpassing practically every expectation. I was one of the few that thought it could
match SC, and even then I figured it was more likely it wouldn't.
Instead, Silent Hill is statistically closer to SC than GTA/WC. Before
this contest, there wasn't a soul that worried about SC matching SH. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

FE is surpassing expectations, then again, the only prior measurement
any of us had was from the Spring 2004 contest (which was just one game
which was only six months into it's North American release, at the
time). --- Current Contest Score: 20/20 Next Winner: Metal Gear I'll just put something to fill another line here. |

If KH wins, Lopen reacts hilariously to his loss and jumps on the KH > MG bandwagon. I guarantee you I won't be doing that! I'm not just here to put over Halo, man! I'm "overestimating" all old school series, now! If Castlevania fails, I'll be brought down to earth and that'll be that!

I'll have to catch up on this topic later... I finally got around to
seeing Pirates, and Leon pretty much has already summed up my feeling
about the movie entirely, so I won't say anything! You guys really went
to town on this topic... bastards. Too bad the match is starting so
soon or I'd have more time to read, as it is, I'm getting ready for
some CV > KH beatdown! --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |
