Well even though Marcus is definitely not showing typical day vote character patterns, he's certainly not showing night-vote character patterns either. He's just weird

I have this ominous feeling that someone is (or was) stuffing for Kefka. This is just too weird.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misread you - I thought you said that night characters typically hold on during the mornings. Ignore my last post.

Black turtle is right actually. And yeah, Rydia is the 2nd female FF.

Meh, I hope that Kefka is able to get a good lead. Meh, if only he didn't have the unfamous Lettuce pic....

Yuffie? At least Tifa had some depth to her. She actually had a somewhat likable personality compared to 95% of the modern FF females. The only one I can think of thats better than Tifa is Freya, but she gets brought down by the fact that she's a giant freaking rat.


Freya>>>>Every female video game character.

I plan to rally Rydia for the contest. As you said, she use to do very well at b8 contests, and she is awesome, so, she deserves to be in a contest as well

Meh, I don't like the Jill > Ocelot call. Ocelot probably has more of a hardcore backing than Jill and Jill's main games are mostly on the PS1 with FF7 -- while MGS1 is on the PS1, it is also on the GC and MGS2/3 are on the PS2. We also haven't since Ocelot since MGS3:S, Solid Snake being announced in SSBB, or the MGS4 trailers. Not that I think even the combination of those last three will do much, but when you're fighting for votes left over from Cloud and combined with my other points, it helps me feel like Ocelot can pull through.

I think everybody's getting hindered in the poll by Cloud though, not just Jill or Zolom.

Ocelot is not going to benefit at all by Snake in the SSBB trailer, nor by MGS4 hype. There hasn't even been anything significant regarding Ocelot mentioned has there? I'm sorry, but Ocelot's too weak to beat Jill.

This is why I'm so worried about it, but for some reason I see Ocelot getting hurt by Cloud more than Jill. No one is getting hurt worse than Zolom though. >.< Poor Zolomy/.

Ocelot was in the MGS4 trailer and clearly looks like he's going to be at least reprising his usual role of reoccuring boss.

Zolom's main target at this point in time is to break 10k votes and end up above the 120 mark in the xsts if we get any.

Possibly...and that match reminds me of the match write up by, I think it was Moltar, that was basically the revenge of the snubs....man that was a good read.

We needs one like that in this year's analysis.

Just thinking about it, I have a feeling Fenix won't stop after the true day vote starts. He just seems like the kind of character that will do well with the evening vote as well.

RydiaOfTheMist | Posted 9/7/2007 9:44:44 AM | message detail
REmake was pretty popular on the Gamecube though because it added so much to the original. Also you have to think how many people didn't play RE until 4 came out on the Gamecube. I mean that poured in tons of new fans to the series. Finding a PS1 RE was near impossible but REmake was available anywhere if you wanted to play the series from start to finish... Granted its not earthshattering but it is something to consider...

If marcus wins, this'l be the first match I got perfect on (current score is 9 >_<).

That's what I get for throwing my bracket together in ten minutes after it was released, and not bothering to edit it before the deadline. >_>

This contest is very unpredictable this year anyways though, so I can't really say I'd be doing much better had I thought it through.

I like how people are already calling their brackets dead.

Seriously... unless you had someone who's been eliminating going to the divisional finals or something, there's plenty of hope here. Maybe even then. This contest is going to be crazy unpredictable, I doubt we'll see anything close to a perfect.

Losing a few points here and there won't take you out of contention, unless you're doing as badly as me.

I mean four matches, and already were down to 167 perfects. That's simply unheard of.

I'll one up you on that. I have Kefka > Zelos STILL because I just made that part of the bracket in a hurry and never bothered to check who Marcus was. I found out AFTER the contest started...
