No thanks on the bet then. Squall will get hit harder than Sora, doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be enough for Sora to advance. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

...what? ...no? It was sold on Disney and Final Fantasy characters.
No one said "I'm a Cloud and Sephiroth fan, so I should buy this."
Cloud and Sephiroth don't have a heavy presence in KH. "Final Fantasy"
does. Look at the original commercials or magazine ads... Cloud and Sephiroth were a central selling point while other FF characters were not. --- EC:Me :: solarshadow:Tai My boyfriend is uncut and I laugh at him and ask him if I can put pennies in there. He doesn't appreciate it much.~ Ryoko |

I would bet my account on Sora doing relatively better than Squall next round. It's an incredible no-brainer. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

I actually really think Sora's going to end up comfortably last in that
match, but we'll see. Mewtwo's got 2nd wrapped up pretty easily in my
book. --- ExThaNemesis is the man. http://img.imgcake.com/ omghawttt13141.jpg |

From: RPGuy96 | #097 With the first KH at least (I never played second), Squall played a bigger role then Cloud, and Squall and Sora don't SFF really at all (LFF if anything). So I don't see Cloud somehow sffing Sora to hell after that. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

meh... that's irrelevant in my opinion... it just seems like everyone minus ExTha is putting their cards on Cloud > Sora --- EC:Me :: solarshadow:Tai My boyfriend is uncut and I laugh at him and ask him if I can put pennies in there. He doesn't appreciate it much.~ Ryoko |

I actually really think Sora's going to end up comfortably last in that match Sora finishing last is possible, but saying he's going to be a comfortable last place is ridiculous. He was 2.5% away from Squall without Cloud in the poll. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

After what went down with Cloud/Mewtwo/Midna, I seriously doubt Mewtwo
has the strength to advance after struggling to break away from Midna.
And if indeed Cloud was hurtingh Mewtwo...Hasta la vista, Mewtwo. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness Now we must duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop! -Dimentio, SPM |

Because I can't see Squall or Sora retaining... well... ANYTHING once they are face to face with Cloud. Sora is from a completely different series and appeals to a very different audience. There's FF/KH overlap, but it's much less severe than...well, FF/FF overlap. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Because I can't see Squall or Sora retaining... well... ANYTHING once they are face to face with Cloud. This is highly possible, but Sora has so many fans outside of the FF fanbase. Like all the after-school voters...so I think he will retain a lot more than Squall. --- caps |

I just think FFVII will SFF Sora a lot harder than FFVIII ever could.
I'm not saying it's set in stone coz I've lost a lot of interest in the
contest and I have friggin Yoshi advancing in my bracket. Either way it should be an interesting match next round. --- ExThaNemesis is the man. http://img.imgcake.com/ omghawttt13141.jpg |

Cloud will have to be pushing over 55% for Mewtwo to get second, unless
the pokemon sprite theory is true and if Mewtwo gets it. Damn you I
wanted a sprite round. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 163/232 Today's Match: Dante > Riku |

Well I'm only asking you because Sora/Squall have to be absolutely
obliterated for Mewtwo to go past. If you think SFF'd Squall/Sora are
weaker than Pac/Midna, I guess it's reasonable, but I'm having a hard
time seeing that happening. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |
| HaRRicH | Posted 11/2/2008 12:07:01 PM | message detail |

Well, it's not like Squall/Sora has just one kind of SFF going on --
they've each got it twice, once from each other and once from Cloud.
Mewtwo, while being the weakest of the bunch naturally, will still
stick out a LOT. Also, while I think Cloud SFF'd him last round, it may
not bother him so much next round with four big-name RPG characters and
Mewtwo's by far the most independent. On top of that, next round will
be the first time we'll see him without another Nintendo character;
we've seen him impress against Bowser/Toad and Ness while edging out
Midna (while likely fending off Cloud's SFF)...he's got a shot. I like Sora >= Mewtwo >= Squall though, with them all being relatively close to each other. It'll take a large win or flop for second place to surprise me in R3 here. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

He definitely has a shot... but ExTha is talking about it like it's a
lock, which is just stupid. You don't look that pathetic the round
before a big match-up and become the favorite by leaps and bounds. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |
| PartOfYourWorld | Posted 11/2/2008 12:11:42 PM | message detail |

I'd still consider Mewtwo the favorite. That match is extremely unique,
and I think he could end up with a one-time boost due to his
competition in addition to the hugely favorable fanbase split. |

From: charmander6000 | #127 I mean due to characters LFFing enough to let a character who looked pathetic the round before advance. Exact same situation here. Mewtwo isn't advancing, he's too weak to take advantage of it. If Yoshi was here, he could. But not Mewtwo --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

such a pick, etc. etc? LOL BT --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

I like the fact that Leon > Dante ended up being a better pick. Shame I took Riku. |

As for the Pika/Dante/Leon fiasco, my take on this is that Dante and
Leon looed awful in their pics, but looking at Pika's likely brought on
a nostalgia rush. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness Now we must duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop! -Dimentio, SPM |

So the picture hurt both Dante and Leon by about the same amount
because if you take their percents against each other it's pretty close
to what they were expected to get based on 2k6. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 163/232 Today's Match: Dante > Riku |

liquid will sadly look out of place no matter what you try Actually, I just had a thought. You know how everyone likes to do those pics where you zoom in on the eyes? Well, someone should do a pic where you zoom in on the ARMS! Liquid with 50% let's do this Oh, by the way, Mewtwo did noticeably worse on Cloud than SFF'd Auron did last year, so it's certainly not a lock for him to advance. Plus, he couldn't even get 17% in that poll. That's not exactly a large obstacle to overcome anyway. Of course, the fact that Squall may decide he wants to hurt Sora this time could hurt both their chances. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Also, both Riku and Hogger are doing a little better than they did on
Leon and Dante last round, respectively, so if they're LFFing each
other, it's not anything too significant. Kirby/Chief/Dante/Leon ought
to be LOTS of fun. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Hard to see Kirby not placing in that poll. My bracket will be long
dead by then, so I'd happy to see either Leon or Dante upend Chief, but
eh, I'd call either of them slight longshots. |
| LeonhartFour | Posted 11/2/2008 1:06:21 PM | message detail |

Leon really has no reason to upend Dante next round (other than just
some weird random variation) so it'll basically be a threeway poll,
though Leon shouldn't be far off. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

To answer your question though... http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=3289&type=1&seconds=60&max=0 I was rallying hard in the late night just so I could get a cut for Hogger over Riku, and once I finally got my 10 voet cut, I was satisfied, and didn't really bother during the day outside of bumping my topic like once an hour --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

Good enough answer. And I like the whole dynamic sig thing, it bothers

am on the boards, like when CronoLv99 first started using a pre-sig he
typed them all into every post. --- Just kind of automatic now. |
