Everyone seems on edge about tomorrows match, the people who picked the

that close? O_o --- "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. "~Voltaire |

anyway, I think Celes has more casual appeal. having never played MGS3, The Boss does absolutely nothing for me. Hey, I've played FF6 and Celes does nothing for me! But, uh, you haven't played Ocarina of Time, so you clearly are not a good example!! --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

I don't think it'll be THAT close. I can easily see either side taking it with 53-55%. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Tifa vs. Ivy - Bracket: Tifa - Vote: Ivy (3/4) |

It doesn't seem like the kind of match that should be close. No one
even seems that certain about any pick for it at this point. I mean,
even with Kairi/Claire, the board seemed fixated that one side or the
other had the "clear" advantage. Even with the pic I can't begin to
decide which side might win... --- Z1mZum>Redtooth Nice list, I counted twenty that would be in my top ten - BlondeAfroHero7 |

I can understand The Boss > Celes, but Terra? Actually, considering the source, I can see why you'd think that. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Hey, neither of them are anywhere near the top of the list in FFVI, but Terra was definitely the better of the two. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

On the contrary, Celes is right after Locke at the top of the FFVI hierarchy. Though Sabin is close! --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |
| Heroic Mario | Posted 9/16/2006 5:07:08 PM | message detail |

It's closer to Locke, Edgar, Shadow, Sabin, Setzer, and then Terra and Celes. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Setzer?! Psh, you have to get past Locke, Celes, Sabin, Edgar, Cyan, Shadow, and Terra before you get to Setzer! --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Edgar, Locke, Shadow, Sabin, and Celes. The only FF6 PCs worth mentioning --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Well, there's a significant drop off after Sabin, then another significant drop off when you get to Terra. The females in that game are just not even worth talking about. >> --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

If not for Celes (and Rachel, if only for the Phoenix scene), you'd be right! --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Yeah. Celes gets points because without her, Locke wouldn't rank nearly as high as he does. Celes is like a Locke enabler. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I'm expecting Celes to be a bit stronger than Terra, but not by that much. Edgar, Locke, Sabin, Mog, and Shadow would all do better, I think. Maybe Setzer would too, what with his KH2 appearance.

My expectation is for Celes to be weaker than Terra, who I think is
weaker than Big Boss. I always expected The Boss to be at least equal
to Big Boss, so that's why I ended up going with The Boss here, plus I
have no confidence at all in any FF6 characters. But yeah, looking
forward to seeing this match. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Hey, hey... hey! I think it'll be fairly close. I'd be surprised if the match went further away than 55-45, so there! The Boss will win! (though Celes has my vote) --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

I was expecting a close one. Slightly in favor of The Boss. Though if it wasn't close, I wouldn't drop my jaw or anything --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I mean like, Kairi/Claire close (for the first 2/3 of that match anyway). Nobody's really expecting that. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

We should get Mog in the next contest. I feel he'd actually do better than Kefka. At least he wouldn't be as big a joke as Terra. --- Hispanics 5 | Whites 5 Asians 5 | Blacks 4 |
| THEJackSparrow | Posted 9/16/2006 5:26:18 PM | message detail |

And Shadow is the only FFVI character I feel that could potentially
outdo Kefka. I have no confidence in Mog, and I'm not sure why anyone
does. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |
| Heroic Mario | Posted 9/16/2006 5:27:14 PM | message detail |

If we're going to get another FF6
character (the thought is not a good one), it needs to be Shadow. He
has the best chance at being the strongest FF6 character to show up in
a contest. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Because of Mog's image. Similar to why Vivi is so strong for looking like a stereotypical black mage. Shadow and Mog would outdo Kefka, IMO. --- Character Battle V Score - 4/4 points Current Prediction - Tifa Lockhart vs. Ivy Valentine |

...But it's a moogle. Big deal. I can't see the majority of people voting for a moogle over Kefka. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |
| Draco1214 | Posted 9/16/2006 5:34:51 PM | message detail |
|
The difference between Kefka and Mog is that Kefka only appeals to
people who've played FF6. Mog's image spreads far beyond just one game. --- Character Battle V Score - 4/4 points Current Prediction - Tifa Lockhart vs. Ivy Valentine |
| THEJackSparrow | Posted 9/16/2006 5:35:40 PM | message detail |

And enough people have played FFVI to where that won't really matter.
Again, it's a moogle. It's like saying Boko the chocobo would beat
Kefka. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

That's the thing that baffles me. If everyone on this site has indeed
played FF6 (FF6's performance in 2004 and on the top 100 suggests
this), then why are its characters so weak? Considering FF6 was a very
character-heavy game (especially in terms of character development),
you'd think FF6 would produce a character that'd be a force around here. --- Character Battle V Score - 4/4 points Current Prediction - Tifa Lockhart vs. Ivy Valentine |

Mog is not simply just a moogle. You can write him off as that if you want, but that's totally not the truth. That being said, I don't really think Mog's "Moogle image" would help him that much. Moogles play very minor roles in all non FF6 games anyway. "Hay, I'll vote for that guy because he was the save dude!" "Hay, he synthesized my items, yeah!". Somehow, I don't think so. Vivi's BM image has a playable character in FF1, FF3, and FF5. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

Too many characters. Big fanbase split, yo. It's part of the reason
you'll rarely find a fighting game character that's worth anything. Ryu
is different because he's more of an icon. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

But at least Ken, Chun-Li, and M. Bison are midcarders. FF6 character would be lucky to break the fodder line. --- Character Battle V Score - 4/4 points Current Prediction - Tifa Lockhart vs. Ivy Valentine |
