Yeah, old-Square vs. SSB in the ASV = riot. Though I didn't pay attention to Ike's ASV either! But the poor kid has never advanced past the 1st round, and yet we're giving him a 4 seed now? Yikes. Come to think of it, most the 4 seeds are ridiculous choices: Captain John Price Albert Wesker Ike Bowser Tidus Captain Falcon Commander Shepard Crono Why are we giving Magus fodder (meaning fodder for Magus) the same seeding as a Noble Niner? Only Bowser and Tidus really fit the seedings here. And whose idea was it to give Soap MacTavish a 3 seed? A completely new character outseeding a Noble Niner in his own division is...weird, to say the least. We should've reversed Gordon and Crono's positions in that division, and then maybe, uh, reverse Vincent and Ike? Also, here are some rematches that I'm dying to see: Bowser/Leon - I think Leon has this now without a doubt. But it'll be funny to see Mr. I Almost Beat Solid Snake falter here (then again, the fact that he went from almost beating Solid Snake to losing handily to Liquid Snake in the span of 3 years is certainly something. Okay fine, there was SFF in that match, whatever). Kratos/Ryu - Do not doubt that Kratos wins this now. Just don't. |

-What
makes you guys think Cid is going to break 40% on Mega Man? He's
probably going to score 35% at most. Remember that Mega Man barely
failed to break 30% on Axel, and Cid is probably around his level. And
remind me what Cid does in FF7 again? All that I remember is that he
mans the crew's airship, and that he built a spaceship only to see
everybody bail out of crisis in space. Remember he's not just in 7 though, I haven't played them all but IIRC the name "Cid Highwind" is a character in every FF game, with a different character design each time. Or is that completely wrong --- http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/Danielyoon10/B8sigbet-2.jpg tell me what to put here in my sig! |

The name "Cid" is in every mainline Final Fantasy game. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

That's just "Cid" actually. I think the only other game Cid Highwind is in is KH1, though I'm not sure about that. I don't know, I'm rooting for Cid to break 40%, but I wouldn't be all together surprised if he didn't. I'd certainly be disappointed though. --- Hello, Dexter Morgan |

I picked zidane to beat ike out of pure fanboyism, flawless logic right there! but seriously what a tame performance, it's an ok win, I was hoping for something higher though, respectable loss in round 2 is the best i can wish for. --- Shakes Fist! |

The
fact Lightning did so well against Sonic would lend credibility to the
40%+ Cid argument. It really depends more or less on how bad Sonic
really is. A few short years ago Megaman = Sonic virtually, but now we
all know that is far from the case. Cid obviously has to be stronger
than Lightning, but if it's enough to put up good numbers on Megaman is
difficult to say. --- :> |

I'm not sure why many people consider Cid to be so much weaker than the rest of the secondary FF cast (AKA not Cloud/Seph) I wouldn't be surprised to see him near Vincent's strength --- Oracle Challenge 2k10 - Rank: 36th Today's prediction: Zidane with 68.67% Status: meh |

Anyone
who thinks a major, well-liked FFVII character with the most famous
first name in the entire series is not breaking 40% in a night match
against Mega Man after what Price did to X is delusional. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

Cid
equal to Vincent? Now that's a bit silly. I'd be willing to put him
above Aeris right now in terms of strength, but the other party members
are hardly all flat equal. --- :> |

It's only "Cid" in the other ones? I would have bet my soul he's still "Cid Highwind" in FF4 at least --- http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/Danielyoon10/B8sigbet-2.jpg tell me what to put here in my sig! |

In FFIV the last names aren't listed anywhere in-game, but it's Kain whose last name is Highwind in that. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

Cid
Highwind is a unique character. Cid Pollendina was the character in
FFIV... they look or act nothing alike. Cid in FFX was a bald headed
guy. --- :> |

I'd consider Cid a flop if he didn't at least break 40% during some night-time updates. --- Currently Playing: Final Fantasy Tactics, Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy IX |

Cid will probably break 45%, if not higher. And we're definitely not using some stats topic made by a 1 karma alt. --- I am the Dragon of Blood, a relentless prince of pain Renouncing God on His throne, my blood is forever stained. |
WarThaNemesis2 | Posted 1/25/2010 8:50:06 AM | message detail |
Gonna say it right now so that when either one of these conditions happen I'll look like either a genius or an idiot. Cid's more likely to beat Mega Man than fail to break 40%. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

From: Swarles_Barkley | #054 Cid's in KH1 and 2, but he plays a bit part in both. I wouldn't expect any additional strength from that. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

Pfft,
that was Tee-dus, this is ****ing Cid. Heck, FFX Cid would probably be
the best one to put in the contest because he doesn't have a last name. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

I'm
pretty sure Cid is getting 45%. Hell, I think he even has a 10-15%
chance to win. Now wouldn't that be something if the noble nine is
broken by a newcomer --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |
