From HeroicTronBonne Posted 9/5/2007 12:25:36 AM #004 How can you hate Frog? :( He sits in his hole wrestling his trouser snake to the tomb of Cyrus and makes you do all of his work. If he wanted the Masamune so bad, he could have helped. And then you get it for him and he's the worst character in battle by a mile. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

I voted Frog because the other characters are either no one I've
experienced in their games or just a plain non-entity [yo Samus], and
because he has awesome music. Also, no, he did *not* want the Masamune.
Why would he help you get it? He felt he was unworthy of it because of
his constant failures-failure to protect the princess, failure to have
been any sort of threat to Magus, perceived failure to ever be a real
help to Cyrus, then losing the Hero Medal as well. --- Our quest of the highest theory is controlled by that theory~Vintersorg-The Essence Nobody really sigs each other anymore - M120T |

It's not called "ancient" English, it's considered archaic English. And
though the words he uses are considered archaic, many of them were
created during the period in the English language known as Modern
English. It's pretty much not even old enough to be considered Middle
English, let alone Old English (which is about as ancient as the
language gets before you have to trace its roots to another language
entirely). --- Once I was human. Now I am far more. |

Beowulf was written in true Old English. Frog speaks in Modern English.
Present-day English is called Contemporary English, I believe, meaning
it is a definition constantly changing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Beowulf.firstpage.jpeg Try reading that <_< ___ *watches* o_o |

Frog has stalled Axel for an hour and a half now. Now he has 6 hours to
try to increase his lead a bit before the inevitable massive collapse
this afternoon. Axel is strong from 3 all the way to the end of the
poll, so there'll be no second comeback for Frog like he pulled against
MC. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 8/8 -- T-1 (1616 way) Bracket: Samus > Frog -- Vote: Frog |

although... last year, we figured it was Mega Man's fault that he collapsed after the first few hours of the poll. he was at 75% at 03:00 and ended up under 70%, bleeding percentage throughout the entire day (though it was worse during the daytime). maybe that was Axel's doing and he has some strange trend? I don't know, I'm overthinking this, but I guess it's possible. by the way, Mega Man increased in the day yesterday, so it's not like he has a bad day vote. it's merely average; KH is just that good. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

But if you look at the match Axel had before with Mega he was losing
updates pretty consistently throughout the poll in the 150-200 even at
15:00 and on. Granted Kairi killed with the afterschool vote but we
gotta keep in mind that was Claire one on one, Axel has to worry about
Samus stealing some of that strength just like Mega took it before...
But Frog is just so horrible in the day and he loves to keep it
ridiculously close its really a toss up until we see the damage Axel
can do with Samus in the poll... --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

So you're using a comeback AGAINST kingdom hearts to prove a comeback FOR kingdom hearts :P? So right now Rikku functions fully as a Kingdom Heart character due to that fairy cameo appearance. I am just saying "IF Knuckles/Rikku match was any indication, no need to be so worked up. |
