And to answer the constant question of who could be this years
Magus, I'd definitely say Rikku, not in the sense of being overrated,
but in the sense of not a single person taking Claire to win that match. *cough* --- Mustache...and green... |

"Steve Illumina is really one of those users you just gotta enjoy
reading...his columns are ingenious in their commentary on the gaming
psyche." -Sushi X Steve! Steve! Steve! "Whereas other so called analysts fluff up their arguments with silly stats, and often imitate eachother in their words, Steve truly shines with his unique mockery based approach and creative flair." -Anonymous Respected User Illumina! Illumina! Illumina! The masses demanded it...and the masses' wish has been granted...give it up for Steve Illumina! "Greetings, noobies of the world, and welcome to another spirited season of GameFAQ's greatest analysis column, that being of course, 'Steve Illumina Speaks'!" And so the third day of voting is nigh...so today my loyal fans, you get yet another serving of the satire that never ceases to make fanbabies rattle in their Aero shirts... Now let us begin with the "Tale of the Babes!" (3)Rikku vs (6)Lenneth Valkyrie Sage of Board 8's Pick: Rikku Newbies Pick: Rikku Fadnerds Pick: Rikku...yep Sage's Score After This Win: 3/3 Sage's Oracle Rank After This Win: Top 10-20...Ada overperformed...yep...that it...silly stats kids! :) "OK my loyal fans, listen to the words of your analysis Icon...Steve! Today I shall discuss this yawner...where one of Square's sweethearts takes on someone who is just lucky to be here, that being Lenneth (Kenneth?) Valkyrie..." "Folks, these boring matches really dont draw much in the way of satire....I mean...how can I mock a game almost nobody has played...a game that is only here because the voters forget all the non RPG genres when they nominate their last few choices...a game where...oh never mind! YAWN!!!! Bring on the next match, the first to break some brackets and show the world RE is over-hyped bigtime this fall, way worse than usual. More on that tomorrow!" "I will close today by telling all my loyal fans...you aint a gamer unless you have played all the 2nd tier RPG's that are represented in this tourney...stealing spots from Princess Kitana, Rydia, and the girl by the fountain in Coneria from FF1, among others! So get out there, and play a 2nd tier RPG today! Now folks, I am off, got me some La Pucelle to play!" "Thats it for today folks, now stay tuned for the next column!" Steve Fun Fact I beat FFX-2 over the course of 3 days when it first was released...I had been sick with the flu and did nothing else but eat and sleep...was a throwback of sorts to late night Dragon Warrior leveling up sessions! PS: Lenneth dont belong here...oh wait I already said that! This is Steve Illumina, signing off, and remember...MK Armageddon arrives October 7th!!! --- Steve Illumina: Sage of Board 8 & Elitist Analyst Fall 2K6: PERFECT! 2/2 |

Meh, Tidus is overrated in 2k2 which affects Claire so I doubt she's
stronger than Jill...but that doesn't mean that she's very far behind. --- Commit it to memory. |

Because 4 is the better game by about 9 miles. I bet you might like em bout the same if RE2 was just simply updated a little :P or has it been? I know the first RE was, dunno bout the others... --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend And Tag Champ Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

Yeah, but just because Rikku got 44% on a weaker Ryu doesnt exactly
bode well for her either. And I just expect Kairi to flat out blow in
these things, recent sequel or not. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend And Tag Champ Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

Whoa, is this confirmed? Epona is somehow very likeable; hearing
that she's in the game makes me feel better about it. She's just
awesome like that. ....It's just a horse. << --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

44% on *any* Ryu is fantastic, which is what I think a lot of people are missing here. He's still likely a top 20 character. --- Commit it to memory. |

....It's just a horse. << This is how people like to react to news concerning TP. You could post something like, "Link's sword will now glow and sparkle when it swings," and people would be all like "OMG NOW IT'S 100% TP WILL BE THE BEST GAME EVAR" --- Commit it to memory. |

This is how people like to react to news concerning TP. You could
post something like, "Link's sword will now glow and sparkle when it
swings," and people would be all like "OMG NOW IT'S 100% TP WILL BE THE
BEST GAME EVAR" Not that I was, but I will not be grouped with such a fanatic section. I actually like Epona, and therefore was happy to hear she was in the game. I know most people adore the new dark tone of Zelda, but for me the graphics have been nice, but somehow a bit off; it's tough to pin down. Also, I was frustrated and even disappointed with the GC/Wii release of the game. It should have been for one or the other; not both. It makes me worry they won't release the first "real" wii Zelda for a few years while simultaneously preventing those who were only going to buy it on the gc from enjoying it fully. And, for the record, news of Epona is certainly more exciting than any news of Midna or whatever her face is. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

Silly Rikku doubters! She'll obliterate Lenneth, Claire, Kairi, whoever
stands in her path until her big match with Samus where she just barely
scrapes by because people start voting for the better character all of
a sudden! --- Rikku > Samus! |

I'm gonna go back to something Lopen and I were agreeing on (so you
know it has to be true!) yesterday...A character does not need a
release to increase. I don't think Jill or Claire not being in RE4 will
stop them from boosting, though it wouldn't be to the level of Leon, of
course. It's an RE voter shift, yo. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

RE2 has more difficulty, more tension, more scares, more puzzles, has
better replay value (different scenarios >>>>>> AA
& Mercs), and was overall just more fun for me. RE4's still great though. Probably would've been even better if it didn't try to market itself as a RE game. --- Commit it to memory. |

From day 1, I still have no idea why people picked Kairi to win (much
less having the majority pick her). Honestly, I don't know why Claire
goes from 45% on Tidus (which really isn't THAT bad, folks. It's the
equivalent of what Rikku's performance on Ryu in 2005, as they were
near equals in strength) to bad fodder. Maybe borderline fodder, but
she'll need to be bad fodder to lose that match. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

People seem to think that every person who likes Kingdom Hearts also
like Kairi, while Resident Evil fans no longer care about RE2 or
Claire. And I guess Code Veronica doesn't exist... --- Vote for Carmen Sandiego in SC2k6 Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness |

I'll be voting for Kairi, but Claire probably has it. Today's result
certainly doesn't look bad for her, and there's no way Ada is stronger
than Claire. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

performance on Ryu in 2005, as they were near equals in strength) to
bad fodder. It has been many years since that match happened. She has declined plenty since then. But, hey, if 2002 holds up then Samus goes 50/50 with Sephiroth again! Win! --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Gamefaqs, the place where EVERYBODY gets sarcasm.... I feel so stupid >_> I was dead serious! It's a well known fact that a fanbase is only allowed to like one game at a time. Now that RE4 has been released, there simply isn't anymore room for RE fans to care about RE2 or Claire! We're all nothing but simple minded gamers, ya know?
