It's kinda cute how Haseo is having the fight of his life trying to get and maintain 10.00% :) ZFS I'd say it's something like Red XIII >= Cid > Barret > Yuffie > Cait Sith. Seeing either Red or Cid would be cool. Sounds about right. I expect quite a bit of difference between Red XIII and Barret though. Not sure who Cid would be closer to. Lopen Eh, I may be alone in this, and biased, but I think Yuffie is the strongest FFVII character we haven't seen yet. Don't underestimate the KHF, man. I would be damn surprised if Yuffie was stronger than Red XIII. I doubt KHF does diddly for her. Does she ever join your party? Anyway, she doesn't seem like the type to have real strength. transcience FF10's cast is better, though FF7 wins where it counts -- Cloud. I'd have to go with 7's - Red, Cid, Vincent - it's a very solid cast. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Well...I have Ryu over Riku now. But I still think Riku beats out Ryu next round. Also, I have Squall > Aeris for 2 rounds, And then Sonic Squall at the end. However, At this point I'm afraid, whether is be Aeris or Sora, that whoever's with Squall will split the fanbase and allow Sub Zero to sneak by... --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

For FFVII, Barrey, Cid or Red would do the best. It is a fact
frickin Yuffie would be much weaker than those three. If you argue
otherwise, you're quite dumb. Arguing Barret is worse than arguing Yuffie. I don't even think Cid's worth testing, really. lol you idiots chose Riku --- Hochiminh155's Trail to Failure swirldude has exposed me as a prediction fraud.

After Ulti made #500 when #499 was at seventy-three posts, I don't want to hear about some official post-number before we make another topic. That's just ****ty. I ain't going to make topics very early (except #501, thanks to the ASCII and hypocrisy [including my own by making #501 so early]), but I don't think anybody can tell somebody not to make a topic too early any more after that malarkey. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

eh, opinion post Cloud >> Tidus Vincent < Auron Aeris = Yuna Tifa << Lulu Barret < Wakka Yuffie < Rikku Cid, Red > Kimahri < Cait Sith FF7's got more, but give me FF10's - plus the communication between the guys in FF10 is far superior, whereas FF7 just has a rag-tag bunch that's not as cohesive. --- ZFStix: nin nin nin ima ninja!!! nin nin nin XD ZFStix: kill it |

Nice. It's kinda scary that Hayabusa's rising right now though...he's
obviously in no danger of losing, but I consider him more of a
day-character. Him rising at night makes me think Riku and Roxas are
REALLY going to tear into him during the day, weekend or not. Probably a good assumption based on a bad reason though; Riku/Roxas are KH-material, but this doesn't mean that Hayabusa isn't a day-character still.

You have to remember that Riku and Roxas are splitting a vote. Plus
they have the whole day to kill that percentage. If Ryu finishes above
42%, I'll be impressed thoroughly. I had him at getting 40% today, but
I also had Riku getting 38%. In my opinion, this is more Roxas
impressing than Ryu H. TuRtLe ~~~ 83/108 in the contest. Next pick: Ryu H > Riku BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Riku/Roxas/Haseo or HK/Lloyd/Jak? ...oh goddamn. Zero only had 39.56%, too. Hayabusa will drop, but...I mean, did even L-Block drop that much from now? I'm taking Riku to compete with Zero, too, and definitely beat those other jobbers. I'd imagine Roxas would duel with them as well. That makes this all the more amazing. Since you got me thinking about it: Riku/Roxas + Haseo, or Matt/Mac + Ammy? Dante got 49.16% in his match..... --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

the Riku trio, of course. same for the Zero match, leeching or not. one
guy supposedly at 30% is better than a bunch of guys pegged around
16-17% in my eyes. then you've got Roxas adding a few extra votes and,
uh, whatever the hell is causing people to vote for Haseo.. --- ZFStix: nin nin nin ima ninja!!! nin nin nin XD ZFStix: kill it |

I know, but we can agree that the Riku/Roxas combo rises well above the
Mac/Matt combo, right? Ammy probably smokes Haseo, but not enough to
the point where I'd think Dante has a tougher four-pack by any means.
Not trying to hype Hayabusa > Dante, but I'm hyping that they're not
terribly distant in this format if the first round is indicative of
anything. Of course, there is plenty enough controversy in both this
format and the first round, so..... --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

L-block dropped almost 10% from the board vote to the end of the match. Frog had a sizable lead on Axel. If 1 Kingdom Hearts character can almost come back against Frog, 2 Kingdom Hearts characters should be enough to drop-kick Ryu's percentage. Like I said, I'll be surprised if he finishes above 42%.

well, there's two, no, three.. no, four ways to look at it: - massive Ryu Hayabusa boost (makes the most "sense" - PS3 port, "xbox boost") - the format (makes *some* sense, but not to this extent) - a Riku drop (doesn't make that much sense to me - I mean, he had two fairly impressive years, a hell of a showing on a loved Nintendo character, Axel pushed Frog to the limit.. and now, this) - we've never had a read on his true strength. in 2k4, it was Arabusa. 2k5 and 2k6 were against Zero and Dante, two characters that could overlap with him for whatever reason. I don't feel so good about saying that about Zero, but Dante does share the most similarities to Hayabusa. that said, Lloyd did look pretty good compared to x-stat expectations.. --- ZFStix: nin nin nin ima ninja!!! nin nin nin XD ZFStix: kill it |
