Final Fantasy VII Remake -- Believe

Know anything about what?

And sure it makes sense, sort of. People who liked Raiden but forgot about him would be reminded of how cool he was by hearing he's in MGS4. People who didn't like Raiden wouldn't vote for him anyway, but would be less likely to purchase a game he has a major role in.

I'm not saying it's a certainty...but it's possible.

Raiden's become a lot more popular with his new look and role, though I'm not crazy about his new look just yet.

No I have not. (Hence me not knowing whether he was in the game, since apparently he even shows off a new look in the trailers.)

I care. This match is awesome.

If there was a reason to care about third place, we would. But, at this point, all it means is that The Boss sucks a little bit less than Tails.

Also, Zero will have a horrible prediction percentage in his first-round match and likely his second round match as well. On top of his already-poor prediction rates, he's also the fourth option in Round One and will be the third option in Round Two.

I'm sure there has been before, but considering his winner has already been eliminated and -- had he at least picked KOS-MOS to win it all instead of Arthas -- he could have been tied for first right now.

It's cool, just surprising.

why does option order matter in the polls?

Karma Hunter | Posted 9/16/2007 2:56:21 PM | message detail
Option order matters because you're more liable to put characters listed first, err, first, while characters who are listed last get put last - and since order matters, that affects the prediction percentages.

Though that shouldn't matter in Zero's second round match, on a serious note. Unless people expect him to get first in that one...

paraboxx | Posted 9/16/2007 2:59:14 PM | message detail
All right, I finally watched those Raiden trailers.

On the one hand - okay, that's a pretty different Raiden. And focusing on him destroying mechs with a sword was definitely the way to go. So I can see where you're coming from.

On the other hand:
"They're replacing the Ninja?? With Raiden!?"

And Tails has a lead of 1.

Good grief. Tails has the lead now?

This is getting nuts.

Yeah, the lead for third anyway lol. But unfortunately NOBODY CARES about the drama to be the worst loser.
BDawg | Posted 9/16/2007 3:15:26 PM | message detail
I care, because there sure isn't anything to else to look forward to in this match OR the next one. Unless Sam Fisher thinks he's as hardcore as Raiden (he isn't).

How well do people expect Raiden to stack up to Tidus? The hate for each has died down about equally, but FFX's a much more popular game, and an RPG to boot.

Magus was overrated.

Frog hardly changed that year. he was overrated as well.


Magus went from beating Ganondorf and scoreing 35% on Link to losing to Knuckles. That wasn't overrating, that was a drop.

And Frog went from going toe to toe with Snake (albeit Solid **** in Snake's worst year) to barely breaking 30% on Samus.

True, but the bottom line is The Boss is a great character and Tails is just some jobber sidekick. I voted Vincent because he's one of my favs from FF7, but still.

Magus was a drop, but not as much as you imply seeing as how Nintendo, Zelda characters not excluded keep getting stronger.

And frog was a fluke.... lol liquid and mc ~= snake

well.. we don't know how strong Ganondorf was in 2003/2004, so we can't say much.

And Frog went from going toe to toe with Snake (albeit Solid **** in Snake's worst year) to barely breaking 30% on Samus.

this means nothing either. it's just simple exposure to me. you don't mean to tell me you take that Snake match that seriously. the only thing you can use is his match with Master Chief.

And in those years Ganondorf went 50/50 with Tidus, while Frog went 50/50 with Master Chief and Liquid Snake.

It wasn't a drop. They were pathetic, overrated turds.

yeah, and losing to Knuckles isn't anything bad. I bet he'd go 50/50 with 2003/2004 Ganondorf; at least from what his value on Squall says.. >_>

Magus failed to double up Sam Fisher, and Ganon went 50-50 with Tidus. They were all overrated that year.

Tidus was also pretty strong back then. He just really dropped off in 2k4.
