No, it couldn't beat FFVII. It lost way too badly to MGS in round 2 for that to be possible. --- 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 just checked, and it looks like Sora gets Charizard in the day. Makes me feel better (yes, I consider Zard that big a favorite over Kratos now). --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Ulti reminds me of the guys who think SMB1 is still the best 2d Mario, even if SMB3 beats it pretty much every way. That's debatable. SMB3 is incredible, don't get me wrong; but I personally think Super Mario Bros. has better level design, and I enjoy it more as a result. ...but of course, Yoshi's Island is the best Mario game by far! --- Where's lettuce when you need it?

Kratos
could get 70% on Tails I would still chalk it up to Sonic Team sucking
balls. That's probably unfair, they've earned that treatment. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

The match with 2 pokémon games in showing at best negligible SFF and at worst strong rSFF? Yeah.

No
I'm one of those people who think 3 is the best 2D Mario, even though
World beats it pretty much every way. People who deny nostalgia as a
legitimate factor in whether a game is good or not make me sad. Nostalgia has nothing to do with the actual quality of a game, because it's like the most subjective quality ever. I have a crapload of nostalgia for R/B/Y, but someone born like six years later than me could have nostalgia for (gross) R/S/E and get nothing out of R/B/Y. If not for the nostalgia, there would be like no reason to ever play R/B/Y at this point because it's so clearly outclassed by the more recent games... its own remake even. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, KrahenProphet |

Although I don't know why I'm taking the notion of RBY > FFVII seriously, but whatever. Really, the only way I'm going to start worrying about Kratos is if he can't outdo this number on Tails. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness!

From: HaRRicH | #119 So...who's the strongest Nintendo-character you'll take Charizard over in a match right now? I'd quite happily say he'd give the Luigi/Yoshi/Bowser group a decent match. Not sure if he'd win or not though... --- Hmmms |

From: HaRRicH | Posted: 1/31/2010 12:42:12 AM | #119 Uhh...all of the second tier (aka the ones below the Noble Nine)? There's a pretty clear divide in strength between the second and third tier of Ninty, and 'Zard seems to weirdly be an island there. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

From: red sox 777 | #122 Yeah. FFVII wouldn't lose to MGS if you put FFX and CT in the same poll as it. How much you can SFF a game =/= strength. See: Samus --- Yeah? |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/30/2010 9:45:00 PM | message detail |
Yeah, let's wait to see where Charizard actually finishes
instead of talking about him where he is right now. If the 'Zard
finishes at 62-63% on the Duke, he's probably not beating
Luigi/Bowser/Yoshi. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Fayt_Esteed | Posted 1/30/2010 9:45:13 PM | message detail |
I'm
not surprised that Duke's losing. What DOES surprise me, though, is why
people thought Charizard would lose to a washed-up has-been whose only
notable accomplishments, GFAQs contest-wise, are barely beating
pre-Brawl Ike and Gordon Freeman only to inexplicably collapse the
following round and making it to the finals of a fodder-packed division. --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

From: LeonhartFour | #134 I don't see him ending up that low... especially with a morning vote to gain back 1% or so. He may end up about 65% --- http://i47.tinypic.com/28gtj5g.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/30/2010 9:45:56 PM | message detail |
It's
not just SFF. I'd expect CT to stand up well to FFVII in that match
anyway, but FFX could stand up really well too and FFVII would still
take first. --- 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.... |

if Kratos can't outdo Char's final result here against Tails, I think that'd be the final nail in his coffin. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, KrahenProphet |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/30/2010 9:48:03 PM | message detail |
From: nintendogirl1 | #139 That's not what I said. I'd take Duke > Tails, so I would obviously be very worried about Kratos if Charizard outperformed him. If it's even close, I'd still be concerned, obviously. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
ZFS | Posted 1/30/2010 9:48:49 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
if Kratos can't match this percentage on Tails, then maybe there's room
for worry. But he should smash Tails pretty easily, so this won't be a
problem. Anyone looking ahead to the Sora match is overreacting to
this, which makes sense since people for whatever reason thought Duke
Nukem was threatening. --- wheresoever you go, go with all your heart |
Team Rocket Elite | Posted 1/30/2010 9:48:50 PM | message detail |
I just checked, and it looks like Sora gets Charizard in the day. Sora gets Charizard in the day on the day of HeartGold/SoulSilver's release in the US.

If the 'Zard finishes at 62-63% on the Duke, he's probably not beating Luigi/Bowser/Yoshi. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3757 I'm not convinced Frog would have beaten Duke in 2008 or now. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

From: KanzarisKelshen | Posted: 1/31/2010 12:42:12 AM | #118 Kratos's value comes from being in an unwinnable match, in a poll with Auron and Sephiroth of all people. He's probably 1 or 2% higher, not to mention God of War 3 advertising starting to heat up and getting Charizard in a day match.
