This match is SO much more Ridley vs. Diablo than Mega Man vs. Mario Kart. Ridley > Diablo to this day I will never understand...

I actually just underestimated Diablo. I had Ridley pegged about
where he ended up; it was definitely lower, but wasn't way off. Diablo
I didn't expect to be worth anything, sort of like a Kerrigan. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

*still mad about picking Ridley to win the Devil Division instead of Diablo* That pick alone -- and yes, I had Diablo be next in line to win it for me -- kept me from a ****in' perfect bracket.

I'm actually talking about the one that broke 48% on Solid! And didn't break 55% on rikku right? Okay, regardless of how samus put him in his place I think we can agree that frog is an even more ****ed up character then MC in performance.

Well, I picked Ridley because I thought all PC characters would be weak

Kerrigan flopped later that year. --- RIP Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005 Z1mZum made me look like Shadow Hearts in the Guru contest. |

y'know - all of you guys who are saying that Kairi had little to do
with the main story of KHII must not have played the game for very
long......... KINGDOM HEARTS 2 SPOILERS!!!!! . . . . . . .. .. . . . . . . for those of you who have played KH2, have you forgotten about the whole Namine/Kairi connection? the two characters were directly connected and the entire game revolved around that connection (as well as the connections between Roxas and Sora & between Riku and Ansem). . . . . . . . .. END SPOILERS so, yeah. Kairi was very central to the game, even if she wasn't playable. in fact, i would compare her role in the KH series to the role of Aeris in FF7 (minus the playability). then, you factor in the massive recency of Kingdom Hearts as a whole; (evidenced by FOUR KH2 characters making this contest) as opposed to the last time Claire appeared in a game. RE: CV came out in 2000 and does not have the added benefits of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and a couple of movies that Jill has. that's why i'm taking Kairi in the 55-58% range. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest.

Yet most people could tell you Diablo would have beat the hell out of Kerrigan back then, too. You might think that, but hindsight is 20/20. Keep in mind that everyone thought those rally characters last year were going to contest powerhouses. Most of the board would have overestimated Kerrigan to high hell had she not been against another board favorite (and one of the few who actually did well). --- RIP Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005 Z1mZum made me look like Shadow Hearts in the Guru contest. |

I honestly didn't think the diablo fanbase gave two ****s about diablo even though I predicted his spot correctly in the villain contest.

No, the majority of people back then were still thinkin' she would be
weaker than Diablo. The ones who thought Kerrigan would be stronger
also thought she would beat Vincent..... --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

I dunno why the hell I said sidescrolling, but you know what I mean,
free-roaming with a big Baldur's Gate type overview, whatever the hell
you wanna call it. But it doesn't take much to figure it out that if

that Kairi was sort of like KH's princess zelda in terms of importance
and exposure in the game. Is that incorrect? in all honesty, Kairi is much more central to KH2 than Zelda has been in any Zelda game (except maybe TP, but we'll see about that one.) POSSIBLE SPOILERS!! . . . . . not only is Kairi the key (pardon the pun) to saving the universe, but the story is geared towards figuring out what Kairi's connection is with Namine and how Sora can use her help. it is more than a stereotypical "damsel in distress" story. plus, there's the romantic/friendship relationship between Sora and Kairi which is built up through the course of each game. Sora's goal throughout the whole series is finding his friend Kairi and it's much more touching than anything Link ever did for Zelda. . . . . . .

Meh, Kairi may be important to the storyline,
but she's certainly not important to the game itself. She certainly
didn't do anything too noticeable in the game. That's like saying
