Yuna is marriage material. Actually, so is Rikku! Lulu is the one I'd have sit on my face while the marriage material and I plan the wedding imho.

The reason Zack looked good is because of Crisis Core. Everyone else who hasn't had a recent game (no Dissidia does not count) is looking worse.

Or rather, Crisis Core being much more recent than FF7.

Squall's by far the best character in Dissidia (and has the best voice acting, for the heroes at least), so he's bound to boost, right?

Yes, of course he is.

Psh. Squall actually killing off his villain in the midst of their death speech and not just letting them fade away was the best scene in the game.

Yessssssssss

And Squall's VA really is the best in the game on the heroes' side. He's like the only one who doesn't have awkward pauses all throughout his lines.

And some pauses in speech are fine. The times he pauses in that scene are fine. They're not awkward pauses in the middle of a phrase for no reason.

Regardless, Squall beasting on Ultimecia is awesome.

And the strange thing is that the villains in Dissidia didn't really seem to suffer from "awkward pause syndrome" like the heroes did. Go figure. Dave Wittenberg did a fantastic job as Kefka.

Man, I just wish Steve Burton and George Newbern would show some emotion every once in a while. I don't know if I could handle an FFVII remake with those two guys deadpan delivering their lines the whole time.

Wow, Kefka's VA killed Squall's, plus -- as someone who never played any of Squall's games -- I didn't feel like Squall's voice should be that low.

Yes mr Lion, even though I hate Squall but Like David Boreanaz(How the HELL did Squeenix get him?), his Voice Acting was very well made and fit very well.


No voice will ever top Michael McConnohie as Kel'Thuzad though.

LeonhartFour | Posted 2/4/2010 11:22:29 PM | message detail
David Boreanaz was great as Squall. I wish they could've kept him. Doug Erholtz does a solid job nowadays, but his voice gets too...nasal for me at times. They need to bring back Mandy Moore to do Aerith again though!

I didn't feel like Squall's voice should be that low.

But I'd have to disagree with this. Squall's a brooding loner. A low voice is perfect for him.

To be fair, a lot of high-pitched neckbeards are broody loners who like ALL THE GOTHIC CHARACTERS THAT ALL THE 13 YEAR-OLDS WANT TO BE LIKE.

Hey man, when I was 13, I wanted to be like Squall! I even read his lines aloud when I played through FFVIII to get myself "into character," and that's become a habit I've carried into every game where there isn't voice acting!

...Maybe I've said too much.

An old room-mate of mine had passed on the habit of reading aloud in character for games without voice-acting...for all the characters. It's a fun way to screw around, though perhaps that's just the theatre-side of me speaking!

Denzokuken | Posted 2/5/2010 12:23:38 AM | message detail
Cloud's doing fine. This is nowhere near a bomb when you consider approx. 25% of the site will NEVER vote for him. Reminds me of FFVII in the games contest; doesn't look so good early on but when it comes to the tougher opponents its strength shines through. Great work Cloud if you can get above 70%.
HaRRicH | Posted 2/5/2010 12:28:55 AM | message detail
And, uh, just a few interesting numbers using past matches with Cloud:

- Fox had 25.39% on him in 2002.
- Bowser had 29.97% on him in 2003.
- Squall had 23.79% on him in 2004 (thanks to SFF).
- Ryu had 28.99% and 21.87% on him in 2007.
- Midna had 25.41% on him in 2008.
- Mewtwo had 25.68% on him in 2008.

Ridley currently has 30.16% on Cloud (still going down), and tonight's night-match is favorable to Cloud so Ridley doesn't recover some with the ASV.


Does anybody take Ridley to beat any of those guys (even a SFF'd-by-Cloud Squall) before today? Or get particularly close? Ridley never even showed a sign of improvement with the vote-in poll -- he landed between Proto Man and Spy, and the only other Nintendo-character in that match was Doc Louis (all hail). A boost from SSBB looks unlikely from the only angle we have room to argue on (though I still believe in it to some degree).

Either R1-matches don't matter for our heavy-hitters or Cloud is looking ****ing pitiful.

You say "obviously," and that's fine, but this idea seems to have only really caught on doing our four-way tenure and is now coming back in this format for whatever reason. This is the first contest we've seen this matter much in a one-on-one setting.
