I guess this contest has proven that even Zelda and FF games need time to sink in.

I have the strange distinction of being the biggest FFXII fan on the board and yet also not caring at all about Balthier.

Ok, now let's get to business:

Balthier vs Midna, who wins?

I'm giving the edge to Midna, I think Scorpion would beat Ada.

Midna.

The main problem with FFXII characters is that the main draw of the game is the gameplay instead of the storyline/characters.

So anyway, tomorrow's match! I picked Serge for second because he probably has the most dedicated fans out of the four (Chrono Chross fans can be very rabid, and the CC anti-voters will be nulled by the format) and Isaac may SFF Pikachu a bit. I suppose Tidus could SFF Serge too...but come on it's Tidus. I can't see him SFFing anyone.

...A random swordsman from an RPG made 6 years ago that isn't Final Fantasy is supposed to SFF Pikachu after only getting 25% on Samus 4 years ago, when he was actually relevant?

They're both from Nintendo handheld RPGs.

I never said it would be a lot of SFF. Just a little.

...You know the more I think about this the more I think Tidus is going to flop hard.

I don't see how just a little would be enough to stop Pikachu, unless you argue that Serge is right at Pikachu's level and would pass him.

Which was my reasoning, adding it that people don't like Pikachu and even Pokemon fans won't bother to vote for him.

Which was my reasoning before the contest which has then since been shot to hell, so at this point I'm just arguing for my bracket's sake.

Even if Bidoof and Mudkip are universally loved (which they're not), the fact that they kept getting votes well after 4chan's influences suggests that Pikachu won't have any problem getting votes.

Im getting nervous about having Tidus. Im hoping Chrono Chross is as obscure on this site as I think it is. Otherwise I could see Tidus getting rSFFed by serge., The silent badasses always do better in these contests than the emo metrosexuals.

If Nidoran avoids SFF against Samus, Bidoof survives with Link, Mudkip advances with Luigi, and Mewtwo gets 25% with Bowser/Toad/Ryu in his match...then I don't think Isaac is going to hurt Pikachu. Not that Pikachu is particularly loved, but Samus/Link/Luigi/Bowser/Toad are all on handhelds as well and they still didn't keep the Pokemon from doing well. If Isaac outdoes Pikachu, it's purely because of Pikachu.

How many votes are we on track for? It looks really low right now, and if it's pretty far behind then it's hard to really argue that this is Ada being much stronger.


Balthier is embarrassing himself, regardless. I really wish he could have taken, say, Crash's/Jak's/Midna's/Wander's place. He could have caused a lot more hell (in one match, not necessarily overall).

this is causing me more hell than you know. this could cost me a good 30 points, and I don't even have Balthier going far.

Haste_2 | Posted 9/24/2007 4:42:22 PM | message detail
Looking at tomorrow's match... it has four RPGs characters, in case you were blind. Anyway, Pikachu might not act so much like one, so it end up being Nintendo vs. three RPG characters (although Isaac is closely related to Nintendo). Pikachu might overperform because of this.

If Pikachu ends up bombing, I think it's safe to say that those who talked about Pikachu hate being synonymous with Pokemon hate were way off the mark. If he does well though, it probably means that ANY Pokemon would have disappointed pre-2k5 (well, Mewtwo would've probably broken the fodder line) and that calling for more before then was simply foolish.

Funny thing is, I've been squarely in the latter's camp, but I have Tidus > Pikachu. I guess that's kind of a middle ground...?

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.
Keno316 | Posted 9/24/2007 7:47:28 PM | message detail
I seriously hope Pikachu bombs. The other 3, specially Mewtwo, I'm alright with them doing good since they're alright...but Pikachu is just so god damn annoying...
