It might mean that hardcore fanbases actually applies to World of Warcraft. It's the most love/hate thing there is, after all.


Combination of this plus WoW anti votes I would think. Only thing I can really think of to explain this.

Well there goes my perfect. I don't think I have ever predicted that silly clowns match right. I was so close to number 1 too.


****, and what a match to lose it to to boot.

I was here when Cloud took the lead, and we were all marking out.

And then morning came.


That day vote was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Cloud spent hours chipping away and took the lead, and then in like 3 updates Link took it all back once the sun came up.

Between seeing Magus bomb and Cecil and Kefka impress, I'm going to go with Fact, as weird as it seems right now.

I certainly wouldn't have considered Kefka > Frog before this match!

Arthas should be able to make some serious percentage cuts in the night to make it as respectable as losing to Kefka by over 10k can be.

Now I really wish Diablo was in the bracket just to see how he'd end up comparing to Arthas 1 vs 1.

Kefka just better not decide to randomly revert back to jobber mode in round 2.

I was so sure this would be my worst division too. Took Laharl, Kefka, HK-47 and Duke. The first was a random guess, the other 3 I figured were longshots.

I can't help but feel more confident now! Thanks, Kefka.

****, maybe Niko isn't the complete ****ing joke everyone thought he was?

Of course, this is probably more Kefka boost. Still, it's not like Jill's a powerhouse these days, and, you know, Western Boost. Niko wouldn't have to be Kefka-stong to pull off the win!

Oh well.

It's rare I'm happy about losing points, but I love Kefka too much. FF6 was my first FF.

Then I got older, played a lot more RPGs, and saw every villain be a super-powered demigod/devil/emperor/overlord/parasite/whatever. Kefka accomplishes as much or more than any JRPG villain, and he is a simple human being -- a man. He turns into something else later, but Kefka deserves a ton of credit for not being "lol I sold my soul to the devil hurr hurr form shift".

Definitely biggest surprise of the contest if this blowout holds. If Arthas can make it close, it becomes more debatable.

As far as unexpected performances, yeah, this is probably up there, along with Wesker/Ken and Cecil/Knuckles.

Assuming Arthas = Thrall and using the current numbers, Kefka gets 27.33% on Link.

Once upon a time, Diablo got 35% on Ganondorf.

Just about at 2000, and Kefka has the whole Square night vote to look forward to. He probably won't tail off until the morning.

The luckiest man in the world. Seriously, its like the entire universe revolved around him, and he didn't even have to fight. The one time he actually does, with all the amazing power he has, he gets his ass whooped :/

Come on, let's get me on the leaderboard for the first time in my 8 years of picking. I always lose a match RIGHT before I come close to getting on it.. and I was positive the curse would strike again and Kefka would lose.

Cecil/Knuckles was a bigger surprise to me than Wesker/Ken. We hadn't seen Ken in over six years while we've seen SF4 bomb, yet every time we've seen Cecil he's pulled weak performances, only to threaten to beat Knuckles outright.

Still, I think Kefka dominating Arthas like this trumps even Cecil/Knuckles for me.
