Yeah,
I was thinking that earlier. People have said in the past that Big Boss
is the most picture-dependent character in these contests, but after
this, I'd say it's Kefka, if that's what's causing this performance. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Yeah, I don't like this picture either. It's no better than any of his clown pictures from FF Anthology. But there's nothing else that really explains this. Not even "LOL 4-WAYS" adequately explains this. --- "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!" |

This picture sucks. I don't get Kefka. Compared to Kefka's other pics, it's a masterpiece. Only Angel Kefka is better. And most of us actually have been saying for a while that laughing sprite Kefka would be pretty strong. Now it looks like laughing sprite Kefka is potentially very respectable indeed. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

There
is no way the picture can do this much. Kefka would not be losing this
match with the lettuce-iest lettuce pic in the history of lettuce. I'll
buy him being more pic-dependent than Big Boss if he has pics that make
him look like Sephiroth. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I
think a big part of this is Arthas pic, as well. As a diehard WoW fan,
I've never even seen that pic of him before. I dunno where its even
from, and it barely looks like him in most other official art. --- http://i50.tinypic.com/2cmp311.gif Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

LOL
4-WAYS satisfactorily explains most of this (which doesn't mean that
it's necessarily the right explanation). This isn't any character, this
is Arthas. Of all the things who were supposed to have their strength
boosted by 4-ways, World of Warcraft and Halo were at the top of the
list, and even if it hasn't really panned out for Halo, WoW is really
very different. --- 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.... |

Well,
we've already seen Chief look better in 4-ways than he ever did in
1-on-1. Even last year's performance was still better than he's ever
done 1-on-1 (unless we think Sub-Zero is on the level with Kirby and
Dante). And then he goes out and puts 60% on Spy. Who knows. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

match with the lettuce-iest lettuce pic in the history of lettuce Oh I don't know about that. I think you underestimate the powers of Lettuce Kefka a great deal. Maybe he wouldn't be losing at the moment, but he could easily lose the match overall - especially a 24-hour match. I'd still pick Arthas in a 24-hour match over Lettuce Kefka probably, or at least strongly consider it. So does this mean a Terra sprite pic or a Celes sprite pic would do decently here? Well I'm not sure, they might do better, but there's nothing so iconic as laughing sprite Kefka. Also their non-sprite pics are quite good, so there's not much room to grow, if any. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Of

4-ways, World of Warcraft and Halo were at the top of the list, and
even if it hasn't really panned out for Halo, WoW is really very
different. Huh? Thrall is from WoW, that doesn't make any sense. I very much doubt 4 ways has even the slightest to do with this. It actually makes much more sense for Kefka to have his strength boosted by 4-ways, because you'd figure he'd have the more "hardcore" fanbase (trends bear this out pretty clearly), and his games are much older. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: creativename | #171 Eh, 62/38 is huge, and I don't know if any pic can switch that, especially when Arthas doesn't look all that good and when Kefka's pic itself isn't even that amazing. Kefka is winning too handily here. He's going to beat Arthas worse than Chief beat Spy.

That was the only thing that ever made him decent, and it massively evaporate last time. Looks like it might be completely gone now. The 4way Chief boost thing was just a theory to explain his boost, and was de-bunked when he heavily de-boosted even in 4-ways. People just cling to it for some reason I don't understand. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: creativename | #175 It makes plenty of sense. They thrive at lower percentages. Just because Thrall was able to get 20% on Link doesn't mean he'll be able to now get 60%.

The
impression is that World of Warcraft players will vote it over
anything, while something like a majority of the site hates the game
and will never vote for it. That would mean that it isn't really linear
in 1v1 either, so Thrall doing well on Link doesn't necessarily
disprove it. Also, while most FFVI fans are fans of tons of other games
too (hence while the FFVI fanbase may be hardcore it is the opposite of
independent), WoW fans are supposed to only play WoW and nothing else
(a stereotype I know), making them highly independent. --- 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.... |
