Yes, thanks to Triple Triad!

And Triple Triad is just awesome. I feel guilty that I get rewarded for playing it - I play it for the hell of it!

These are the thoughts that led me to defeat Omega Weapon twice, with no deaths or Holy Wars.

Just getting a GF with No Encounters and then heading to the Island Closest to Heaven/Hell is all you really need.

I was not a big fan of Triple Triad, myself. The only mini-game I have been a huge fan of is Blitzball.

I loved Blitzball too, of course.

That's why I have a 400 hour save file on FFX. That and stat maxing. Oh god the stat maxing.

Penance is a *****.

Since the last really wasn't a big deal or anything ...

Vincent v. Solid Snake -- Who wins!

Keeping in mind, of course, Dirge of Cerberus is coming out August 15th, 2006!

No way in hell does it take 400 hours to get max stats and a perfect Blitzball team. I did that in less than 150. Twice.

"Just getting a GF with No Encounters and then heading to the Island Closest to Heaven/Hell is all you really need."

I just happenend upon one of these islands during my first playthrough. They make the game ridiculously easy.

Hell the Junction system in itself is way too even to abuse.


As for Vincent/Snake, I fear Vincent. But it will be a sad day in this contest when Snake loses that match.

if Bowser couldn't beat Snake in a sprite match, I don't have much faith in Vincent doing so.

I also think Snake has somewhat a small chance of overperforming, looking at what he did to Squall.

Triple Traid was by far the best part of that game. They should have made a spin-off game just using that card game. It would have 100s of hours of fun for me.

Or, more likely, he likes Vincent more!

THEJackSparrow | Posted 8/5/2006 11:53:28 AM | message detail
As much as I love Snake, he's vulnerable to Vincent after Dirge of Cerberus releases. He's only projected to get 51.88% on him even now.

Well, except for those of you who seem to feel that Vincent is somehow down there below Tifa, Squall gets beaten handily by Kirby and barely scrapes by Luigi anyway.

So you'd have take Kirby to beat Squall now, and have trouble deciding between Squall and Luigi?

Not at all. But I have a thing about siding with FFVII whenever it's possible. And something like that is waaay too good to pass up at this point. DoC right before the contest, Vincent already really strong, Kingdom Hearts II Square influx, FFVII SFFing MGS. Everything is there for Vincent to be the one to break the Noble Nine.

Kirby overperformed too. And I still think Squall would fall above Luigi. Im not talking about a big overperformance, but there was something.

How is FFVII SFFing anything Square or PSX related trash? I believe that Vincent could RSFF Crono before the match and definitely after seeing the results.

Really, the only character that looks too high based on an unadjusted Devil Division is Knuckles, and being behind Snake for three years may have screwed with his value.

THEJackSparrow | Posted 8/5/2006 12:00:06 PM | message detail
Because FFVII didn't SFF when it was the more popular game to begin with? And a side character rSFFing the main of CT in spite of that...well, let's just say I don't buy it.

I sort of feel this way, too, though I'd definitely be in a minority. Before last year, we'd never seen Knuckles lose to anybody but Solid Snake. Who knows if it had some sort of effect on his overall value?

speaking of Knuckles, I'm pretty split on who I'd take between Knuckles and Luigi, but I'm leaning towards Knux.

Vincent is going to rSFF Crono? I don't believe he did anything other than perform how he normally would. If you think Vincent rSFFed Crono, then you have to think FFVII SFFed Chrono Trigger, which would mean its a legitimate threat to something like Ocarina of Time. The Advent Children leak is also blown way out of proportion, too. And even if you believe there's an overperformance, it isn't by more than a percent.

Not like it matters pertaining to Vincent because he'll be stronger than his value this year anyway. The reasoning still makes no sense.

I dont think Crono Trigger got SFFd by FFVII for the same reason Ganondorf and Bowser overperformed on Sephiroth. When it comes to the Finals/Semi-Finals and the winner is clear, people will anti-vote him more than usually.

Why in the world would Link/Sephiroth 2K5 be inaccurate? I can understand the 2K3 final, but there's no reason to believe anything strange happened in the 2K5 final.

For one thing, Cloud was NOT the obvious winner of SC2K3, so that debunks that notion.

Because if you believe the SC2k3 numbers are inaccurate than the SC2k5 numbers which put Cloud and Sephiroth the same distance apart as in 2k3 should throw up warning bells.

The SC2K5 field looks really weak when you do this, if you're trying to say that SC2K4 Sephiroth is the true one, and I don't buy it. So you're saying that Sephiroth supposedly overperformed to the same extent on two different opponents two years apart?

I see.

The 2k4 Sephiroth that was potentially SFF'd by Cloud is the true Sephiroth?

Riiight.
