GameFAQs Contests

Magus. Magus has been stronger than Kefka every year, CT improved on FFVI by a lot in the Games Contest relative to 2004, and the only reason Magus would lose to Kefka now is that Magus/Knuckles and his subsequent matches have been more embarassing than anything Kefka's ever done.

6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno
'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared....

I'm really glad I switched from Neku to Laharl at the last minute!

...and picks such as Ellis > Shepard.

I'm still kicking myself over that. Fortunately though, I think that's the only dumb upset left in my bracket; the Fawful/Drake damage has already been done.

---
Kefka's match picture is the best of the contest.
Characters who messed up my bracket: Shadow, Drake, Fawful, Liquid

I have to agree with whoever said that it's a mystery why people continue to have faith in Kefka despite being burned by him repeatedly.

I stopped having faith in Kefka after his match against Vercetti
Seriously, his last impressive match was against Knuckles in 2004

Ike > Marth

"Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW

Arthas would probably beat Marth. He especially would after this whole WoW expansion thing. Kefka has got nothing.

KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

Ike vs. Donkey Kong - Let's pick!
---
"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"
"Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!"

Ike. DK *will* choke.

---
KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

What about Marth vs. DK?
---
"Stay with me until the end. Please."
"Not until the end. Always."

...is it bad that I'm torn despite already having seen a matchup between the two?

---
KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

Well, let's make this easier then: Kefka vs. DK

Ike. Not much of a choice.

Poll implodes.

But seriously, DK, and easily. He may be the master of choking, but he just isn't as naturally weak as Kefka is.

Ike > Marth. Ike leads in two FE-games on consoles in America and he's the casual star of SSBB. Marth doesn't have an American game he carries to my knowledge and he's a tourney-favorite of SSBM and maybe SSBB (I've not followed that in a long time). Ike also made it in this year as a four-seed...while Marth was in the vote-ins and failed to make it into the contest (took fifth place, losing to MK and Peach as well as Akuma and Thrall [probably due to LFF]).

I don't have time to double-check it, but I think Ike also did better on Pikachu than Marth did on DK.

Marth is the main character of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for the DS which was released last year, but that game got some very, very mixed reviews.

---

Marth does have an American game out now, actually.

...It just sucks.

Marth doesn't have an American game he carries to my knowledge

Shadow Dragon.

Hey guys, I think Marth actually has an American game now!

But did you know that it wasn't very good?

I didn't...! Now I do!

I don't think Fire Emblems in general were very good till like 6, assuming that's a remake.

Genealogy of the Holy War (4) and Thracia 776 (5) are extremely good. Mystery of the Emblem (3, Marth's main game) is a bit of a mixed bag, but I'm partial to it because the English patch is half my doing. <_<

Wasn't it not even a remake of 3? it was a remake of 1. Despite 3 being 1 plus a bunch of other stuff.

---

Yeah, Shadow Dragon was a remake of the original, despite the fact that Mystery added a second book (equal in length) that actually possessed a story.

I tried all before 7 but 2 but 6 was only one I liked

But admittedly I didn't play them more than one mission and didn't bother patching half of them so maybe I was missing GREAT PLOT and stuff. <_<

BIG MAPS can suck it

Of course, I still think most, if not all, of Ike and Marth's strength comes from Smash Bros.

And man turns out it was actually 12. Well then give it 6 more posts I think we can turn you.

"Fire Emblem 3 and 1 were likely average"

What say you to that Fayt?

I haven't seen anything whatsoever suggesting that FE games have any strength. In 2004, FE7 got doubled by FFTA. 5 years later, it got 60-40'd by DISGAEA. (Granted, Melee and Wind Waker were in that match, but still...)

This actually matters a lot. Triple SFF is a very powerful thing, and when you're a New Nintendo game competing with Super Smash Bros. Melee and a Zelda game, you're going to get completely annhilated.

Fire Emblem is 7 years old!

Fire Emblem extrapolates out to 15th in the Series contest! Ahead of WarCraft, Grand Theft Auto, Metroid, and Pokeymanz!

(Let's ignore why it's ahead of those last two and also the favorable picture vs Metal Gear, please.)

Anything made by Nintendo beginning with the Gamecube counts as "New."

For Square, anything beginning with FFVII counts as New.

You got me there. However, I still can't see any FE game doing well in a games contest...

What a weird definition of new!

I think a better estimation of FE's strength is 58% on Silent Hill.

*is Dranze*
Krahen Prophet did a fatality.

hey by the way... now that Laharl has advanced to round 2, are there other characters that have been here for several contests but have never advanced to round 2? (including 4-ways)

CATS has been in every contest (except, tragically, this one) and he's never won a match.

He did beat Drake though!

All I can think of is Ratchet, Cecil and Guybrush...

Fayt's characters are good examples

Cecil's time will come eventually. He did almost beat Knuckles after all.

And while Guybrush has never made it personally, Monkey Island made it to round 2 of the games contest.

Krahenprophet does. That's why he won the 2009 BGE Guru Contest!

and Ratchet will probably win his match in a few days, too

I guess I could add Luca Blight, but he only made 2 contests...

Monkey Island made it to round 2 of the games contest.

It's just wrong when you can go to round 2 despite scoring less than 10%.
