I guess in a manner of speaking, it's actually kind of impressive that Claire got in despite having no recency. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Yeah, and so do I, but I don't see Kairi being stronger than someone like Geno. I don't see why. The KH series is about as big as Super Mario RPG, I can't picture Kairi being as weak as Geno. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them.” - Vivi0198 |

*checks stats* Geno is a smidge under Zidane...I think I'd actually go with Zidane > Kairi, though it's anyone's guess on if Zidane was SFFed by Crono at all. --- Commit it to memory. |

I don't see why. The KH series is about as big as Super Mario RPG, I can't picture Kairi being as weak as Geno. Geno is playable, Claire is not. Who's the strongest NPC good guy that we've seen in a contest? The King of All Cosmos? --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

| I don't know... the nature of this contest might entice people following the contest to support their "girls". I could see Kingdom Hearts fans getting behind Kairi over the likes of Claire. I know this was brought up about Bowser and Ganon possibly overperforming on Sephy in the Villains contest due to franchise voting. Anyone think that might happen a bit here, since the females are isolated? |

My reasoning for Kairi/Claire in a nutshell: Kairi has KH2, which is a huge game on this site. Claire hasn't had anything in years, as evidenced by her pathetic seed in an all female side of the bracket. Kairi wins. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best.

If they did overperform due to that, I'd think it would have happened
at the end of the contest (y'know, when they faced Sephy). This match
is going to be early, I'm not thinking people will be 'franchise
voting' any more than usual here. --- Commit it to memory. |

| As for Claire... yeah, she was a main character in RE2, but unlike Jill, she wasn't the most popular character in her game. Plus, Claire doesn't say "I'M A MEMBER OF S.T.A.R.S.!" in Marvel vs. Capcom 2! Jill >> Claire. <_<; |

As for Claire... yeah, she was a main character in RE2, but unlike Jill, she wasn't the most popular character in her game. WHOA, hold up there. I'd have taken Claire > Leon with ease simply on the basis of their roles in RE2. Claire is more popular in that game for the same reason Jill is more popular than Chris in RE -- Master of Unlocking !! --- Commit it to memory. |

Heh, still on Kairi/Claire, huh? I'll just leave it up to the voters at this point. I say Kairi, and that settles it. KH2 > RE: Veronica and RE2, IMO on this site. Someone said in the last topic that the seeds should be reversed, but between the fact I thought seeds were mostly based on nominations, I think it's safe to say, Kairi has her seed because of her fame on this site. --- Just like the South in the Civil War, the Red Sox will always and forever be remebered for getting owned by the Yankees. |

I don't know... the nature of this contest might entice people
following the contest to support their "girls". I could see Kingdom
Hearts fans getting behind Kairi over the likes of Claire. I know this
was brought up about Bowser and Ganon possibly overperforming on Sephy
in the Villains contest due to franchise voting. Anyone think that
might happen a bit here, since the females are isolated? The thought was that they overperformed because they were the only representatives of their series in that contest. Their are FOUR Kingdom Hearts characters here. And how about some discussion on NPC factor? Is Kairi really going to be the strongest good NPC ever? --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

What about Ganondorf? Not counting SSBM, obviously. --- Happy Happyists 4th on the Oracle Team Challenge. 3rd on Spread Betting! *sniff* Excuse me while I go to the corner and cry because Z1imZum is the Guru Champion. |

...Like? Like the fact that Kairi's role in KH2 is marginal at best and that Ocelot may be the most important character in the Metal Gear series... ...which of course brings us to the next point -- even giving you that statement, importance != popularity.

He's not a good guy, though. There are a bunch of 'might as well' Nintendo NPCs that are good guys and pretty strong...it's just that they happen to be playable in Mario Parties and Mario Sports and such. --- Commit it to memory. |

After RE2, Claire was more popular than Leon. Leon didnt become more popular than Claire and in turn every other RE character until after RE4 where he was a complete badass. --- --NL-- Z1mZum made me look like Toadette. And made me nominate her. |

| The thing is... most popular good guy NPC's eventually become playable... Someone like Zero probably would have been the strongest, but then he became playable. I'm sure there's somebody I'm forgetting though. Jecht??? |

Then, probably proceed to kill Auron. :( --- Just like the South in the Civil War, the Red Sox will always and forever be remebered for getting owned by the Yankees. |

Riku is playable in Chain of Memories -- he's literally got an entire
game devoted to him (as in you play as him roughly as much as you do
Sora). --- Commit it to memory. |

Riku is the best part of CoM. Sora's still in his KH1 personality phase
while Riku is just pure badass, not to mention he wields the Soul Eater
instead of a dumb looking key and has the ability to go SSJ and turn
into Dark Riku, where his sleights are phenomenally powerful and fun to
use. It's the reason he's one of my all-time favorite characters, and is higher than even post-KH2 Sora. --- Commit it to memory. |

Kairi's kind of in CoM, but that ventures into spoiler territory for KH2. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

*minor CoM spoilers* Kairi is *not* in CoM, by the by, but she is a centerpiece of conversation and plot points. To expand...CoM is where Namine was introduced. You can probably see why Kairi has some importance from that if you've finished KH2. --- Commit it to memory. |

So, Peach and Kairi are somewhat comparable? --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them.” - Vivi0198 |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 8/28/2006 4:02:53 PM | message detail |
|
...no. Peach has things like SMB2, Mario Sports, SSBM, things where she
is popular and playable backing her up, at least somewhat. But aside
from that...I guess they're somewhat comparable in how irrelevant they
are. Except Peach has been far more iconic and a centerpiece of Mario
games from the beginning. Your objective is always to save her (OMG
SPOILERS). Kairi is just kinda...there, most of the time. --- Commit it to memory. |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 8/28/2006 4:04:12 PM | message detail |
|
Although if you wanted to go in-depth into the plot you could make a
case for Kairi as opposed to Peach there...but Mario doesn't really
have a plot, so there's really little comparison there. --- Commit it to memory. |
