Unless Marcus keeps falling off like that. Hah. Rydia might be able to hold on after all.

Kain did do worse in the day against Raiden. Marcus is going to tear Rydia to shreds.

To this day I do not understand the appeal of Sub-Zero.

The Mortal Kombat games were terrible, the movies were terrible, and the characters are terrible.

Mortal Kombat is like South Park is that it stopped being cool when it was no longer edgy or new.

Maybe the contest banner is affecting things. So far we've seen:

Cecil: Do OK/dissapoint
Kain: Impress
Rydia: Impress
Kefka: Do as expected
Cloud: Dissapoint
Vincent: Dissapoint
Sephiroth: ?
Zack: Impress
Squall: Impress moderately
Vivi: Impress
Zidane: Impress
Tidus: Impress
Auron: ?

With the exception of Cloud and Vincent (possibly FFVII as a whole) could there be a trend here?

So Auron>Sonic confirmed, I guess.

(oh god don't quote me on this)


My X-Stats computer (I bought it from Alienware it cost 5000 dollars and it just does X-Stats) says there's about a 98% probability of that exact result. Nothing to be worried, methinks!

And Rydia is surprising me. Like, really surprising me. How is a pointless side-character from the worst of the SNES Final Fantasies doing so good? If this is all the DS remake, I can't ****ing wait for 6DS.

KamikazePotato | Posted 10/16/2008 9:14:11 PM | message detail
We shouldn't sell Kratos short. He has no reason to drop, a small reason to boost, and he was already far above Ocelot last year.

Which, combined with the MGS boost in this contest, makes for an even match.

So you're saying the FFVII banner is making all FF characters do better then expected except FFVII characters who are flopping because of it?

Um .. wut? No I do not think the banner is making the slightest bit of difference.

Mortal Kombat sucks, Kain is the only good FF4 character, and Final Fantasy 10 blows and I refuse to vote anything from that abortion of a game. Gears of War rocks and Marcus Fenix is a badass.

FFVII could have just dropped off on its own. It could be even more extreme and the banner's simply masking part of it.
