Was that 30% serious? If Shadow gets 30% tomorrow he's going to walk all over Zack.

If Shadow gets 30 tomorrow he's going to walk all over a lot of characters.

not exactly

it may just point at Shadow overperforming a lot when put together with a very strong Nintendo Character (Link,Mario),for whatever reason >_>
KamikazePotato | Posted 9/18/2008 2:15:27 PM | message detail
There is no way Shadow over performs against LINK. This isn't 2k3.

I still say the Buster Sword won't matter much in terms of Zack winning next round. If seeing the Buster Sword is enough to make a person vote for a character over Link, then I demand FFVII Piece of Furniture gets in next contest. Otherwise, I'm fairly sure those people voting for Zack next round would be voting for him because they know who Zack is and are fans of him.

it's not actually the Buster Sword that gets people to vote Zack.. it's the Buster Sword that might get people to realize who Zack Fair is. I mean, Zack Fair could be anyone. who the hell is Zack Fair?

this is all unproven, of course, but I could see that recognition being big. it's not that he's a Black Haired Cloud, it's that he's not someone that you expect to see or hear about if you've only played FF7.

Yep. Can't speak for anyone else, but I've never been serious about the BUSTER SWORD stuff. I really doubt that's the reason Zack's winning this by as much as he is -- and why I don't think he'll suffer any from a face pic next round. If nothing else, I'm pretty confident after today that he'll have enough core supporters to beat Shadow next round, but I have a feelin' he'll do a lot more than just get by.

And why the hell does Luke look so damn flamboyant in that picture? Did the artist think that was a cool pose or something? He's definitely reminding me of that Chef from Phoenix Wright 3 in that pic, especially with that rosy pink background. I could imagine him saying "Oui! Z'is fragrance would be perfect for you monsieur!"

Hahaha...thanks a lot, man, now I can't look at the picture without thinking this. XD

I seriously think this everytime. I'm not even joking. When I first saw that pic, I could have sworn it was just some fan pic of Zelos acting girly. When I saw that it wasn't Zelos, but Luke, the main character from ToA, and it was a serious pic, I died a little. Seriously, people are going to vote for that?

Curse you for putting this image into my head! Argh.

Let's say we put Barret, Yuffie, or Cait Sith in Zack's place. Do you still think they win?

How 'bout Rufus, Reno, or Rude?

Think everyone would win -- to varying degrees but none as good as Zack's today -- except for maybe Rude and Rufus. Cait Sith probably just barely gets by.

Yuffie is the only remaining FF7 character that has KHF. No doubt in my mind she's the strongest FF character we haven't seen.

Oh wait, Cid.

Second strongest.

LeonhartFour | Posted 9/18/2008 3:13:48 PM | message detail
By the way, I think they each would win to varying degrees. Rude is the only one I'd be uncertain of.

For the record, as of right now, Zack is getting 56.78% on Wario, 72.57% on Cecil, and and 87.96% on Jade.

Wario is getting 66.82% on Cecil and 84.76% on Jade.

Cecil is getting 73.41% on Jade.

Can't wait to see Kain and Rydia!

Yeah. I'd agree there. KHF can get outta here -- it's Yuffie. Can't see her being strong than some of the other playable cast of FFVII. Not stronger than Red XIII or Cid.

Totally. Muttski wouldn't have a ghost of a chance against the great Yuffie.

Rydia will be the strongest by far, by the way. TJF is comin back, baby, right with its lost friend KHF.

Yeah, the vote totals are low, but still, a match like this breaking 100,000 votes is still good. Plus, the first match was on Labor Day last year, so that might've helped.

Instead of Yoshi, we have Wario. Instead of Rikku/Vaan, we have Zack/Cecil. Instead of Knuckles, we have Jade ****ing Curtiss.

Not to mention that last season's opener was surprisingly popular and took some time to be topped IIRC. I wouldn't be too worried.

Check out the vote totals for the next two matches. This isn't too bad considering it's a match with Jade Curtiss (why) and Cecil.
