Wow. What the hell Kain.

Even if we assume Chief is back to 2k6 levels, this is still beastly when you compare him to Cecil.

Chief actually has a pretty decent Power Hour. It's hardly up to his later daytime levels, but he holds out pretty well for the first two hours or so before completely collapsing during the Night. I wouldn't be surprised if he finishes in 3rd over several hourly updates tonight.

There wasnt much of it really, only crazy MGS4 fans overhyping a heel wearing emo robot, or people underating Zack.

Either Chief fell back down to earth, or Raiden boosted (likely) and Kain > Cecil (not sure about this yet!)

Anyways, nice to see Layton above 10%!

Go Kain!

This match is not going as I expected whatsoever, but I never understood the people who thought Rydia would be stronger than Kain, and was pretty damn confident Kain>Cecil. Plus his picture makes it very, very clear who he is, even to old-school fans who never played the remakes - not the case for other FF4 characters.

Still, this is just terrific by him so far.

MC didn't get weaker as the contest went on last year... and if you honestly believe that lay off the pipe.

Because millions of people were playing Halo 3 for at least 3 months after its release. Nowadays, there are more people playing the huge amount of other great games that have come out in the last year. CoD4 in particular. Chief is no longer fresh in the mind of the fickle casual gamer.

Unless this is 2007 Chief, and Raiden is looking to be on the level of Zero and Kain is a solid midcarder, making him the strongest old-Square character by far.

So uh... why haven't we ever gotten Kain in before? This guy may be our strongest non 3D final fantasy character

I rallied for him in 2006 and 2007, but everyone said he'd be weaker than a guy that got tripled by Kirby. I didn't do a rally this year and he actually got in. If he is where I think he is, he's above the fodder line and would probably beat Kefka oddly enough.

Guys, please don't try to compare Kain and Cecil's strengths.

If Cecil had an original FF4 sprite pic, he'd do TONS better than he's ever done. Kain's big thing here is that he's clearly Kain to all FF4 fans.

Also, this just proves that we NEED to see a 3-D DS remake of FF6, if only to put Terra and Celes above the fodder line, and to have Kefka dancing with guys like Alucard.

Speaking as the Biggest Rydia Fanboy in Board 8(and possibly GF <_<), Unfortinately no. Since Auron will do to her what Zack did to Cecil. Doesnt help the other 2 in the match are acctually copetent in this format.

Auron is going to SFF her pretty hard. I highly doubt she could compete with Sub-Zero or even Marcus without that burden anyway.

as long as professor layton has 11% i'm going to lean towards terrible.


Bah, you all underrated Layton. He shouldn't be uber fodder. He should be fodder, for sure, but like Guybrush, not Jade.

B. He does NOT go up agianst an FF7 character


Cecil went up against Kirby and still sucked really bad. Even if he got a good picture, he would still be fodder.

Kain is looking like not fodder here. hail kain
