Heh, looking at how weak Kaim is, you think Seth, Ming, or Sara beat him on TJF alone?


who?

If those are other Tales of the Lost Odyssey characters, then sure... why not? It's not like Kaim is any more recognizable than those characters and he probably doesn't look any better than them.

Only interesting part of this match now is whether or not Frank will double Kaim.

Frank is nearly doubling Kaim. Think about that for a moment to realize how weak Kaim truly is.

MoogleKupo141 | Posted 9/29/2008 9:13:04 PM | message detail
Given that I'd take both Frank and Kaim comfortably over the boxers, this looks strongly like an Ammy boost, even though she'll probably drop down to low-mid 20's.

Little Mac and Matt would kick Kaim's ass.

Little Mac would probably beat Frank too...

Haven't we seen a few second place characters now who should've been a lot lower than they were? I can think of Zidane, Liquid, Falco, and Ama already. Maybe Duke too.

Maybe it's just the format or something.

Nightmare would beat Ammy comfortably, Crash would CRUSH Frank West and I'm thinking even Raz could whoop Kaim.

At this point, I'm wondering if the casuals figured out to check the results, then vote to help another character they like advance.

I mean, it's not like just Nintendo is underperforming, neither Crono nor Vincent have looked impressive. It could very well be anti-voting characters who are well above the others >_>

Eh... I think Samus's fourpack is probably universally stronger than this one too... Nightmare/Ammy I dunno.. it makes sense for Nightmare to be stronger, but... I dunno. Crash would almost definitely beat Frank... and Raz and Kaim would uh... they don't count.

Crono might not be impressing, but I think right now he's on course to do about what's expected of him here. The fact that Ammy's doing well it just making it seem less than that.

well, Crono's first round fodder-pack from 2007 had him at 47.55% after 15 minutes and he finished with 48.18%, so I'm thinking he'll do just fine for himself here. 48% is hardly a bomb, especially when we don't really know much about this new Amaterasu.

Nightmare vs Ammy is very debatable. Frank west should be a bit weaker than Crash but Raz is weaker than everyone in this match.

Eh, not necessarily, just a general underperformance, since the battle for 2nd place, not first, is the one that really matters for advancing.

That would indicate an increase in apathy if people are going out of their way to bracket-vote rather than simply vote for their favorites as is traditionally done.

That would just make the joke characters even more appealing!

So let's get this straight... according to you Samus > Crono, Nightmare = Ammy, Crash > Frank and then Kaim > Raz?

So everyone in Samus' pack is stronger than or equal to their counterpart in this match, Kaim is currently at a lower % than Raz, but somehow Raz is weaker. huh

It may not even be bracket votes, Mega. I mean, I bet the casuals who were here last year figured out by now that in fourways, the top two advance. So there's less of a need to votre for, say, Link. >_>

Crono's SFFing Kaim from RPG support, Frank's SFFing Kaim from 360 support, and Amaterasu's SFFing Kaim just to be a dick.
