Hey at least this match could be interesting unlike the three before it (well, the fact that all three of Sora, Ryu and MC failed to impress was sort've entertaining, but I think I'd prefer a close match), and we've got Chokefka/Arthas to look forward to after it!

...You might be right. Also, I made a minor fix.

Serious question for people who took Laharl.

Which would be the worse feeling, losing a point to Neku, or losing a point because you picked Laharl?

Same question except opposite if you picked Neku.


Like I said, I'm on a 17 match win streak right now. That's easily the longest streak I've ever had in any contest. I've got a very realistic chance to push that to 26 matches(Heavy > Roxas v.v) if I can get this match right. If I lose my streak, and a point to ****ing Neku Sakuraba I will just be so goddamn disappointed.

I'm not even going to fix that numerical error. This match will be so unpopular that it won't even make sense mathematically.

It'd be so awesome to look at the poll and see them both unable to break twenty five percent

I don't care about the point. I just want Laharl to win.


I will be so happy if Laharl actually wins a match for once. i don't care if its against freaking Neku. Just being able to see him win is enough for me

Laharl seems like he has more actual fans to me. I wasn't worried about this match until you guys started making a big deal about it. Laharl's probably gonna cruise.

That's hardly the point. Common sense would suggest Laharl should have been stronger then than he is now, since his games were part of the current arsenal on an active system. Now he's done nothing but cameo and it's 5+ years later, well into a new generation of games.

Honestly, Disgaea DS might have boosted Laharl.

wait, people were seriously debating Ramirez/Sephiroth? I'm all for that, but what basis did anyone have for that happening?

As far as today's match goes, bracket votes will only matter if it's really close. We have no current accurate data on these two right now, so chances are far greater that one of them is completely underwhelming and it's not close after the first few minutes.

So you guys are relying on handhelds to boost Laharl to victory, but saying Neku cannot win because he's only from a handheld (even though Neku's game was the more successful of the two). Got it.

Hey now, I have Neku! I'm just saying that pretending Laharl's had nothing is stupid.

But it's just the same game on a system fewer people play. How is it hard to believe that Laharl should have been stronger when his games were just coming out on what was the major console at the time?

No, no one was debating it. Before the contest was even announced, HM had just played through Skies of Arcadia and was in love with Ramirez. I was still well, me, when it comes to Sephiroth. Enter a 500 topic of us arguing back and forth about which one was better(this includes an AIM conversation as well), involving an amazing picture which I still can't find.

Basically the whole board was centered around that topic for about 2-3 hours and there's NO WAY CJay makes that match without seeing that topic. There is seriously no way.

Laharl is one of those hardcore fanbase characters like Guybrush. Those fans don't just "Fade away".

You act like Disgaea fans have forgotten about him over time. Despite his game being older than Neku's, he got the higher seed. Even Etna got into the vote-in polls, still not sure how that happened.

so you are somehow trying to say that TWEWY has got more people playing it, than people have played a disgaea game which is NIS's flagship franchise, it's one game vs a franchise.

She was one of the characters in the database last contest iirc. Makes me think she always gets a bunch of noms, just not enough to make the field
