I will never understand how FF6 is so damn popular, but it's characters aren't. Moreso, I can't understand how Kefka is the most popular of the bunch..... Is anyone else extremely confused by all of this? I mean, ONE of them has to have some strength.... right?

Raiden was easily the worst main character in a MGS game. --- i thought what i would do was pretend i was one of those deaf mutes but should i |

MGS doesn't have the Survival Viewer and still manages to be more
stealth-oriented than any of its sequels (no FPV FTW). Hence, MGS >
all, not even taking into account its superior story and the best
protagonist EVAR WOO GO SOLID SNAKE TO THE FINALS BABY YEAH OKAY I'M DONE --- Commit it to memory. |

Well, given Raiden's competition is Snake and Naked Snake (who was like, the ultimate deadpan warrior), that isn't fair --- We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable |

Heh, I was just messing around when I said Old Ocelot = Young Ocelot.
I'm not saying I don't believe it, of course, but obviously you can't
conclude anything based on a match of two unmeasured characters. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

The same odds of people not overestimating FF6 again. Like those crazy people who would actually take FFVI over SSBM in a games contest? Dude, are you my twin? Heh, that's what I thought when I was reading your arguments about MGS3...long ago. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

MGS3 easily has the worst gameplay out of the series. Jungle environment, as opposed to the much better indoor environment? Check. Camoflauge that makes you switch it every time you walk over a new area? Check. --- Do you really need me to bring out the stats?- Azp2k32 on why Zero would double Luigi |

Everytime someone says MGS3 is the best of the series, a little part of me dies inside. MGS3 is one of the best games, period, not just the series. Of course, the other two are up there as well, but I figured I'd try to get more than just a little part of you dead. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Meh, once you start playing MGS3 with speedrunning in mind (which kicks
ass), you never bother to switch camos throughout the course of the
game. Learning how to bolt through areas with just the right routes
without changing camouflage is all kinds of awesome. --- Commit it to memory. |

There is ONE good thing about today's result: We won't have to see an
ugly SFF-fest in Round 2 against Tifa, so we'll have reliable x-stats

Is anyone else extremely confused by all of this? I mean, ONE of them has to have some strength.... right? I still say that the FFVI characters would do much better if they had sprites. Kefka overperformed on Wesker with a Final Battle Sprite. Imagine what he'd do with the Laughing Sprite. I think Mog might be fairly popular though, although more because he's a moogle than due to his character in FFVI. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

The plotline of MGS2 was unnecessarily convoluted. And while Snake, Otacon, and Ocelot are better as characters in MGS2, that still doesn't save the MGS2 cast from the land of suck compared to the rest of the series. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

MGS2's storyline was cool, it was the presentation that was off. MGS2's gameplay mechanics are superior to perhaps all three, but the implementation of them makes the game too easy. I'll never understand why people complain about TTS's difficulty when MGS2 does most of the same damn things. However, the VR Missions in MGS2 make that game the best of the MGS trilogy, gameplay-wise. Heck, Substance's VR arguably makes it the best gameplay EVER. --- Commit it to memory. |

I still say that the FFVI characters would do much better if they
had sprites. Kefka overperformed on Wesker with a Final Battle Sprite.
Imagine what he'd do with the Laughing Sprite. Ultros might've benefited from a sprite picture, as well, and he also seems like a character that might grab some joke votes. In fact, I can't say it's impossible sprite Ulty is weaker than than Celes with her current picture, though I'd definitely still bank on Celes being the stronger one. --- "Ah, a party!

The story of MGS3 was incredible, even before the ending. Everyone was
double crossing everyone, and it's vastly entertaining to look back on
it I'll take it anyday over MGS2. AKA Kojima furiously masturbating over how he's mind controlling anyone silly enough to buy his products --- We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable |

MGS3 had absolutely horrible characters. Everyone except for, you guessed it, The Boss, was either bland or awful. I'll take a combination of bland or awful over MGS2's awful villains cast. Dead Cell is horrendously bad. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

To clarify, the reason I didn't find them fun is because the characters
didn't rant for 15 minutes before they died. Or have any redeeming
qualities whatsoever. Or present any sort of difficulty whatsoever. --- Do you really need me to bring out the stats?- Azp2k32 on why Zero would double Luigi |
