The Legend of Zelda with...75% of the brackets, one perfect lost.
---
Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden
Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling
Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted 7/30/2006 8:47:32 PM | message detail
Significantly stronger than the majority of FFIX. I don't see even the strongest matching Vivi.

I could see two of them not having trouble being stronger than Vivi.

Series Contest Score: 44/48
Today's Pick: The Legend of Zelda
LeonhartForever | Posted 7/30/2006 8:48:17 PM | message detail
Meh, I don't see the strongest being far above Yuna and/or Rikku. No way one beats Tidus and/or Vivi.

Granted I have yet to play FFX yet, but, uh...why is Tidus so weak compared to Auron, again? It seems like such an odd exception.

I saw that for the SC2K4 standings on my site, I had the Base Link values column in front of the standard column. That doesn't make sense so I fixed that.

Don't worry about it. Mario will domiate!!

>_>

I honestly have no clue to why I'm rooting for SMB seeing as I have two FF games in my top 10. Then again, it's ****ing MARIO!

Auron is kind of like what Sephiroth would be if he were a good guy, and Tidus sure ain't Cloud.

I really don't see why one of them, especially Balthier, wouldn't be able to beat Tidus. It's not like he's at a level that is too high for FFXII characters to reach.

I personally don't think FFXII will come anywhere close to matching FFX in popularity, and I certainly don't expect its characters to match them in popularity.

UltimaterializerX | Posted 7/30/2006 8:53:04 PM | message detail
Speaking of which, Ulti, your thoughts on it being a bet for 3 nom slots for the first contest after the next one, rather than a sig bet?

Sure, I guess. Though I doubt one person's noms will make much of a difference.

Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest
Now Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY)
Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted 7/30/2006 8:53:30 PM | message detail
I don't think FFXII would really be too far off from FFX. I don't understand why some people want to go and think it will be so much weaker than FFX. It's not going to end up being a FFIX at all.

---
Give you 10G if you act like a chicken!
Yes. No.
LeonhartForever | Posted 7/30/2006 8:54:00 PM | message detail
Oh, it won't be an FFIX by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still ridiculous to think it'll match FFX anyway.

transience | Posted 7/30/2006 8:54:10 PM | message detail
quick thoughts: if Mario doesn't have the lead in the first five minutes, this match is probably over. the board vote has been FF's worst time every single time and it's going to gain throughout the night. now if Mario keeps it close it's got a chance with the day vote.. but I wouldn't count on it.

and, um, Zelda with 73%. for a final that's pretty friggin' high.

Mac Arrowny | Posted 7/30/2006 8:54:22 PM | message detail
Why wouldn't any FFXII characters be stronger than Vivi? I can't see FFXII being a weaker game than FFIX is, and if it has a good lead, that character is almost assured of being stronger than Vivi.

I know I want Mario to beat that ass hardcore for FF. I liked FF7 alot and FF3/6 was okay...but if SMB could make this 90-10, I want to see 90-10.

Sucks it won't happen though!

If in some bizzaro world SMB actually beat FF 90-10, I'd still call LoZ the favorite. >_>

This will be the first and only time I vote against Final Fantasy. Mario is just that special.

I don't get how mnm thinks the board overrates FF...half the people here absolutely loathe it, it's why it always underperforms massively during the board vote. If anything is overrated here, it's *series removed because people will start whining if I say it*.
