but.. The Boss beat Tails.

Zelda > Zero, though in this format I'm not so sure
Raiden > The Boss
HK >= Tails, since Sonic characters are sucking

well,Vincent round one pack was pretty much equal with this,maybe a bit stronger.

however,next round is sprite round right? Crono tends do do very well on sprite rounds.


right now i'd give vincent's 38% a slight edge on Crono's 38% here.though i do believe Crono will increase.

I'm expecting Crono to end up a bit higher here than Vincent did for what it's worth, but only by a percent or so (it'll go up during the night, come back down during the day). I think Vincent comes away looking more impressive when comparing to their round 1 performances, and he should look pretty good heading into the next round. Either one could take it -- my money is on Vincent.

I'd say...

Vincent - 50%
Crono - 40%
Zero - 10%

Regardless... I initially took Link > Vincent thinking Crono was slightly stronger than Vincent, so even if he still is, I think Vincent can take it. I see a lot more overlap with Link/Crono than I do Crono/Vincent. I've never really been big into CT/FF split, at least not FF7 on.

HK-47 ~= Tails

Crono looks like he'll end up a little higher than Vincent, so I'd call Crono/Vincent about even now.

I see a lot more overlap with Link/Crono than I do Crono/Vincent.

Thing is, we've seen Link/Crono (and Link/Magus, LttP/CT, and Ganondorf/Magus) and Chrono has come out looking great every time.

Yeah. Even if Crono is slightly stronger than Vincent, there are a number of things that could go down there that give Vincent the edge. One-on-one, I'd expect them to be pretty much 50/50, so with that in mind, I think the format and anything that Link could potentially do (it's not much at all, for whatever it might be) would give Vincent the better chance.

There is something sort of epic and sad about Crono's fall from grace, even if one really doesn't like him, it's kind of sad to see an old powerhouse go down on the sinking ship that is CT's popularity.

Almost like an epic Greek Tragedy (okay, not really, but if you force it. . . .)

Crono didn't really collapse last round. Even Magus didn't (though he was facing Phoenix Wright). Percentage Change from 30 minutes to end last round:

Crono: +0.49%
Raiden: -0.68%
Sam Fisher: +2.39%
Simon Belmont: -2.21%

Zero: +1.26%
HK-47: -1.41%

Regardless of whether or not Crono seems to benefit from meeting up with Zelda moreso than Zelda does with Crono in normal 1v1 settings, it at least shows to me some sort of an overlap, and I really don't think Crono will benefit when you transfer that over to a 4-way setting.

ZFS | Posted 10/11/2007 9:32:38 PM | message detail
No. Crono would be in a more advantageous position, but giving him a sprite wouldn't make him a lock at all.

The only problem with Crono's "sinking ship", is that a CT remake/good sequel is pretty much inevitable. I only hope it comes soon before Crono really starts sucking, ala pre-2k6 Snake

Once again, Crono stayed steady against Castlevania fodder and a weak (incredibly weak) MGS character.

Zero gained to the end of the match against a Tales character, an X-Box character and a Sony platformer.

And I'm not the douche who made something up about a characters performance without actually looking at how they performed, and just saying something because it sounds good.
