But they're on the level of Kefka, except for probably Ken. SFII is more expansive than FFVI anyway. You'll only find maybe two MK characters that could beat Kefka, and probably no others from any other fighting game.

By the way, my money is on Sabin and/or Edgar being the most popular character in FF6. Why? One reason: They're the best characters to use in battle. Tools and Blitz are superior to most other characters abilities throughout the game.

Well, you also have them longer than any other characters in the game, which can only help.

And even with games like Mortal Kombat, Scorpion and likely a few more characters are easily stronger than Kefka...heck, taking a potential KH2 boost into account Ivy may be too close to Terra for comfort. Ivy!

Blitz is cool-looking anyway. I don't know about the most useful...

Fire Dance owns everything, man. You gotta get to the level 2 magics before any other character can even think of matching that damage output. And even then I think they're outclassed.

Actually... Terra/Celes with double earrings might be able to do it with level 2s (maybe level 1s). I'm not sure. But that's totally too much thinking for the one time player. They want their ribbons and running shoes and stuff.

Um.. the point is, Fire Dance rules. Never leave home without it. Oh, and Bum Rush, we mustn't forget that!

Anyone else?

Meta-Knight would be pretty damn strong after SSBB. And I agree that Raiden needs a second chance.

Don't worry. After MGS4, Raiden will be a lock for SC2K7.

FastFalcon05 | Posted 9/16/2006 5:56:01 PM | message detail
Celes, and most of the characters in FFVI, are very well developed characters. Also, I don't agree that the Boss will necessarily be fodder. Celes is sort of limited by Terra and Kefka, but the distance, even in game difference, in terms of importance, between The Boss and Big Boss is larger than the gap between Celes and anyone else in her game.


Also, why was there no ...damn, what's her name, Tatyana rally? The other chick from MGS:3; she's pretty damn cool, too.

Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest.
Lopen | Posted 9/16/2006 5:56:30 PM | message detail
Wait, won't MGS4 be out after SC2k7 starts, though?

In a way, that disappoints me, though. I wanted to see Raiden before MGS4. Because now, if he manages to do well, everybody will be shouting "MGS4 BOOST!". Whereas I thought he'd do pretty respectably without it. But... he would boost, no doubt about it.

Stronger Raiden vs More Lopen Bragging Rights? Oh, that's tough!

Depends on when SC2K7 starts. Speculation places MGS4 at July 7, 2007.

Come on, I am curious to see what he would do in these contests being from FF7 and after seeing Ness/CJ. >,>

Metroid Prime 3 will be out before SC2K7! Mario Galaxy might, too!


SSBB isn't looking like it though.

Draco1214 | Posted 9/16/2006 5:59:28 PM | message detail
Ok, so far we've got:

Akuma
Mewtwo
Meta-Knight
Raiden
Serge
Fox McCloud

All those (except Serge) could break the fodder line (though, for Meta-Knight, it'd have to be after SSBB).

Character Battle V Score - 5/5 points

I'd rather not see Barret at this point. Too much FFVII already, and I'd rather not contemplate the implications if he were to actually bomb...well, insofar as much as an FFVII character can actually bomb in the first place, but you get the idea.
---
Commit it to memory.
Heroic Mario | Posted 9/16/2006 6:00:52 PM | message detail
One of the FFXII characters might be good, too. But I doubt they'd need a rally.


...And boo to Mewtwo. I refuse to nominate a freakin' Pokemon. >>

I think voting for Eva would imply that you accepted that she totally owned you in that game, which might have been difficult for voters.

Raiden would make Serge his escort mission. Don't deny it, Leonhart.

I haven't heard ANYTHING about Jill/Sheena. I know the winner isn't in doubt, but what's the consensus for Sheena's percentage? I saw the spread had Jill with 65% on her, but that seems a bit high. That puts Sheena below Wesker.

Mewtwo's definitely my number two pick for a new character. With all the strength we've seen from Pokemon recently, it could use a good rep.

Nobody, however, will ever displace Midna in my heart! She'll definitely be stronger than any of the other characters suggested, as well as stronger than any new characters in this contest! And an almost inevitable position in SSBB can only make her even better!

Do you really think Sheena could get 45% on Lloyd? That's better than Rikku would do on Tidus, even after FFX-2. I don't see any reason for Sheena to be closer to Lloyd than Rikku is to Tidus...
