| Assuming Crono 2k5 is equal to Crono 2k6 (good
assumption to me!), then Falcon is at about 20.20% on BL, which puts
him slightly below unadjusted Kratos! --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

Sorry, I like Crono too much. Now Luigi > Sonic, there's a
bandwagon I can get behind! (Luigi > Sonic > Mario, *****es!) Luigi > Sonic would be awesome, I must say. ...But that inequality makes is painful!! --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

I was thinking about it last night. I think Crono 2k5 = Crono 2k6 is a
good assumption. it almost made me realize that doing stats off base

Theres just something wierd about Bowser > Crono, but out of all the
characters I'd like to see break the Noble Nine, Bowser is definitely
up there. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

The 'weird' thing about Bowser > Crono is that it would be too good to possibly happen. This is also the primary reason why Snake is going to lose to Mega Man again. =( --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Although Crono doesn't seem to have lost much strength, might his day vote be getting worse as he (and his fans) age? I've thought about that before. You'd expect the mainstream gamers to be in the day, and that their support for aging games like CT would get less and less each other. I think Tidus has actually changed voting patterns...IIRC, Tidus won the MORNING vote against Ganondorf back in '03...and that's where you'd expect Ganondorf to do the best. That, along with Tidus flat out dropping, seems to suggest Tidus has lost a lot of mainstream support (FFX was a big hit among the mainstream). I have no idea about Crono...I wouldn't expect any major night vote changes unless his popularity changed a decent amount. That's just my common sense there. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

Repeat after me: Bowser's day vote isn't that good. Repeat after me: That was the old, 2005 Bowser, this is the new and improved 2006 Bowser! Also, I wouldn't expect him to win it over Kirby, but if he can shave votes of Snake, he'll be able to win updates off Crono. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Crono vs. Capt.

50 years from now, if Gamefaqs is still around, Crono will still be at
this value, even if he never gets another appearance. I laff at the

though it's impossible to know. He looks stronger than ever right now,
though. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

in it? If he is? And does he take down Mario again in either case? --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

He looks stronger than ever right now, though. He looks about like Crono from years past, actually. This performance isn't particularly impressive. Meeting expectations here more than anything. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

I'm glad HM isn't on a good bandwagon, or else I'd be really upset! Though he should get on the Squall > Snake bandwagon for safety's sake. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Also, I wouldn't expect him to win it over Kirby, but if he can shave votes of Snake, he'll be able to win updates off Crono. Knowing how bad Snake is with the day vote, you'd think Bowser would have been able to do better than he did. Remember that Bowser had over 60% on Ryu and was nearly doubling Chun-Li when the day vote hit. ...Yeah. --- As you wish. |

Sephiroth boosted what, like 8% with an optional boss fight in Kingdom
Hearts? Chrono Break would be unreal for Crono. he'd be untouchable by
anybody below Mario, and probably Mario as well. this is assuming he's
in it of course. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

Question: How much does Crono boost from a new Chrono game, if he
isnt in it? If he is? And does he take down Mario again in either case? I think Crono would benefit far more if he were placed in a game that he usually wouldn't be in. Like Kingdom Hearts or Super Smash Bros. or something. Just making another Chrono game probably wouldn't produce that crazy boost he would need to take down Mario -- Super Mario Galaxy coming out in early 2007 here, folks! Another Chrono game would boost him if he were in it, but I'm unsure about if he wasn't. It'd be better just to have a Chrono Trigger remake on the DS or something. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

Bowser may be able to take afew updates, but nothing like he did with
Solid Snake -- Crono's stronger, plus the poll-time's change and Crono
being stronger than Solid in Bowser's better hours should keep most
updates in firm control for Crono. That said, GO BOWSER GO !! --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

All we have on Scorpion is his match with Auron.

Though I'm not a big fan of Crono, I would really like to see him in
SSBB. Speaking of which, has there been any new word on it lately? Also, I saw this earlier and am finally going to try my hand at it.

Well people have been waiting for Chrono Break forever. And remember,
out of all the character in the Nine, Crono is the one casuals dont
usually recognize. Chrono Trigger didnt sell too hot here in the US and
he the biggest case were the effects of emulation are obvious. If he
gets a new game, I definitely think it sells better and give Crono the
mainstream boost that I think he probably lacks. This is assuming a
large role in the game of course. And dont be down talking game boosts,
HM. Who was the biggest supporter of NSMB boosting Luigi? >_> --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

In my personal opinion, Vincent > Sonic is more likely than Bowser
> Crono. Vincent's already closer to Sonic than Bowser is to Crono
(though not by a great deal), and Vincent has had a game of his own
since then. Plus, he's from FFVII. --- As you wish. |

Crono would definitely boost, make no mistake, but I really doubt we see something massive from a new Chrono game. Crono would most benefit from being in a game that is being bought by an entirely
different fanbase that has little knowledge of him -- Kingdom Hearts or
Smash Bros. -- over another Chrono game. Judging by Chrono Cross's
sales, which were about 600,000 in America, I just doubt how much a new
Chrono game will benefit Crono. He may get some separation between Mega
Man, Sonic, and Solid Snake, but he isn't going to beating Mario or
Samus or anything, I don't think. And if he's not it? Practically nothing. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

Oh, and as for today's match, Falcon is disappointing me. After seeing
Axel get 30% on Mega Man, I thought Captain Falcon would have a similar
performance on Crono. After letting Luigi beat Zero, I wish NintenFAQs
would make up their freakin' mind! --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

you could easily make the case that 2d Square and 3d Square are
different fanbases. CT characters resist SFF from FF7 characters and
Crono probably didn't SFF Zidane all too much. Crono/Vincent went
according to script and we'll see Crono/Auron probably do the same. if
that's the case, a new game for Crono would have the same effect. not to mention it would be his first game in, oh, 12 years? (not counting Cross) --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

From Karma Hunter Posted 10/10/2006 7:25:22 PM As far I'm concerned, Crono did lose a teensy bit of a step last year, though it's impossible to know. He looks stronger than ever right now, though. I think that was more people boosting around him than him dropping. Like I've said before, Crono seems to be the most consistant character in these things. Which is weird considering Magus and Frog have both been all over the map. TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won.

HM he definitely beats Samus if he gets a game starring him or even
having him playable. Samus doesnt have enough extra strength over him
to survive that. And as I said, A new Chrono does expose Crono to the
mainstream. RPGs only really became mainstream with FF7. A new
generation of gamers would be exposed to Crono. This isnt the next
Zelda (as good as TP maybe) or Mario, this would Crono's first new game
since '95! Only an FF7 remake or a Nintendo vs Square crossover game
would cause crazier boosting. --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

Chrono's game would actually have to be GOOD before I say he gets a
huge boost. I could very well see Square dropping the ball on a new
Chrono game as far as everyone's expectations for the game go. Chrono
would boost in that situation, but it wouldn't be that much... --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

Make no mistake, Chrono Break starring Crono would boost him back over Mario, where he belongs. Crono's second game would help him more than Mario's 123456th game is going to help him, even if it is a big one. Come on Square, give us Chrono Break! Starring Crono!

HM he definitely beats Samus if he gets a game starring him or even
having him playable. Samus doesnt have enough extra strength over him
to survive that. You know, the difference between Mario and Samus in 2005 is practically nothing. Samus in the future has Metroid Prime 3 coming, too, which definitely boosts her a bit. It's not like the two are equal right now. And as I said, A new Chrono does expose Crono to the mainstream. RPGs only really became mainstream with FF7. A new generation of gamers would be exposed to Crono. This isnt the next Zelda (as good as TP maybe) or Mario, this would Crono's first new game since '95! Only an FF7 remake or a Nintendo vs Square crossover game would cause crazier boosting. Again, I doubt how much a new Chrono game would do for Crono as opposed to a CT remake or Crono appearing in some other game. A new Chrono game is not comparable to a new Final Fantasy. Chrono has disappeared for a generation and Square right now is a shell of what they used to be. I really doubt it would produce the sales -- or even feature Crono -- to give him this massive boost you're talking about. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |
