Basically, by the end of the match Ike will have around the same percentage Zidane did

Which tells us nothing.

Vivi's still got a good shot at Altair, though I consider Altair the favorite now.

Cid and Yuna both have (small) chances to pull off their upsets tomorrow, Cid more than Yuna.

If Cid does win, wouldnt that technically not break the noble nine tho? Cuz the whole concept is that they haven't lost to anyone but eachother... but cid never has lost to anyone else either, so would it not become terrific ten?

The most forgotten part of the noble nine is that you have to have been in every contest you're eligible for, so you can't expand it.

And as someone who has two Mega Man games in his top ten, Cid beating Mega on his way to potentially a night match with Mario would rule.

Noble Nine isn't going to disappear if one of them gets beaten anyway. It's still going to persist as a term for those nine characters for as long as these contests run.

No, they had nothing to do with the gameplay. You're right. They showed up maybe two or three times max, and for barely a minute each time.

I don't recall this being the case. The only FF character who fights for you in any KH game that is Auron, I'm almost sure. They give you a Keyblade though, I think.

Oh, and Ike averaged 63.14% that last hour. Not a huge improvement over what he had been doing. If Ike can't make some notable improvement here, either Prinny has an unexpectedly good day vote, or the ASV isn't as strong with this format.

It bothers me that Square seems to be forgetting about all the old (read: good) Final Fantasy games. Weren't we supposed to get DS remakes for 5 and 6 after 4 came out? Whatever happened to that?

That plus the fact that none of the old Square characters have gotten the KH treatment.

So what happens if Squall beats Snake through the power of the Dissidia boost? Squall's been in every contest possible so far!

Anyway, pretty impressive performance by Prinny, and he's even holding up in the ASV. Makes me feel better about Zidane > Ike, at least, and I no longer feel Prinny was a waste of a Guru nomination! Sure, it's ****ing Ike, but Prinny is still impressive here, and I'd have no problem taking Prinny over Laharl 1v1. If 40% of voters are voting for a penguin over one of the bigger Brawl characters (in terms of the game itself) just for the humor of it or whatever, imagine how appealing Prinny looks over a guy only 20% or so of GameFAQs knows, with half probably voting for Prinny anyway.

Hell, at this point I'd take Cocky Prinny over Face CATS.

Those remakes will probably still happen. FF13 took up a ton of their time.

I hope they skip FF5DS myself. I love FF5, but it's not exactly the type of game that would really benefit from a presentation improvement like FF6 would. FF5 is all about the gameplay, since the story and characters are even more cliched than the NES games and it doesn't take itself seriously at all. Of course, if they somehow manage to make the job system even more badass than it already is, I'd be all for it.

Those characters are anything but cliché. The translations just SUCK beyond all measure. Square's goal there was to make funnier characters and show off their new skill in sprite animation. Never before had we seen sprites laughing, and so on.
