And Shadow is starting to do relatively well here in the late stages of the ASV. He's over 15%, at least.

Yeah, if you turn the hourlies into a one on one match this is one of the biggest vote shifts of all time.

It's not a bad picture in and of itself, but like...I played FFVI in Anthology too and it took me a second to remember what that was.

In other news, sometimes I wish there was more horizontal room in the full-body match pics because if this were Sephiroth's picture, TSF would totally give him 100% of the vote...!

Well kefka has the vote of people who like half naked muscle dudes

But uh... I dont think he is advancing.

I think this ensures nobody else gets a sprite pic this round aside from maybe The Dog if Kefka wasn't given one.

It's especially bad since everyone else in the match has a really good picture.

We are talking about Tales of the Abyss characters. One could end up stronger than the other just depending on what the weather is that day. They will still end up in the 120s on any version of the xstats.

Man, when is Zidane going to stop bleeding? He'll finish above 18%, but the higher that 18 is the better he looks against ZackFAQs.

yeah I don't know why everyone was expecting Luke to do so much worse than Jade. I thought it was pretty clear they were going to do roughly the same. If you're willing to vote for one of their pathetic asses, you're probably willing to vote for the others, Link or not.

At the rate he's dropping, Zidane may not stay above 18%. Once we get into the second night vote, he should be able to stem the tide somewhat.

Zidane behaved like a classic night character rather than like the CT gang and Kefka in recent years, which is nice to see. Cecil did yesterday as well, so perhaps Old Square has regained ground with the dead zone and during school crowd. Or maybe it was just their opponents; Wario/Zack and Link/Shadow are both definitely day slanted.

Good thing about Kefka and his terrible pics is his name is at least pretty instantly recognizable. I don't think he's getting confused with any other Kefkas.

Still that picture is ridiculous. What depths of internet hell did the guy who found that pic go to?

I didn't realize it was a bonus FMV for people who already beat the game, but I'll still take it for the fact that it can be seen in game and at least resembles Kefka as the final boss.

Poll 2177 (10/27/2005)
Do you own a copy of Final Fantasy VI/III?

9482 14.06% Yes, the original SNES cartridge
12594 18.68% Yes, the PlayStation remake
7908 11.73% Yes, both versions

15012 22.26% No, but I've played it before
22432 33.27% No, and I've never even played it

TOTAL VOTES: 67428

So around 30% or so, with maybe some of the ones who don't own it but have played it before having played the PSX one.

30% owner ship, but they also have to have beaten it too, right? That could be... less.

LeonhartFour | Posted 9/19/2008 3:42:12 PM | message detail
My bracket has Marth > Niko, but with all this SquareFAQs domination, watch out, Kefka's coming!

Link's consistency here has me wondering if the trends have changed around here. Tomorrow will tell us a lot, I think. See if Marth has a great day vote and if Kefka bombs come sunrise. Niko and Duke should be day vote characters, too, right?

Basically, that means Kefka needs to be winning (or at least in second place) by a pretty good margin before morning.

I don't think Kefka is as picture-sensitive as everyone else seems to.. that's just part of his strength at this point, a bad picture.

I don't think the point is whether it's better or worse than lettuce, it's whether it's Kefka at all. I have utterly no idea what that picture is.

I think it's silly that we're whining about it though... didn't everyone who picked Kefka in here expect a bad picture?
