Also
I can't help but be hyped for Sonic 4. I really hope they do the smart
thing and release it in store too because a lot of people don't have
the internet hook-up to their gaming system. It would be silly to have
it exclusively as a downloadable -- especially considering the
throwback style, and how awesometastic it could be. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

I'm comfortable enough in Snake's position to not get immediately defensive and instead humor that with a "sure why not" --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

I was actually just asking, because I have no idea how close Squall is to Snake to begin with. Is Squall the third strongest FF char, or does that belong to Vincent? --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |
KanzarisKelshen | Posted 2/5/2010 4:18:46 PM | message detail |
From: EternalxCourage | Posted: 2/5/2010 7:15:47 PM | #176 It's STILL tough to say because they've never met again since their 2k5 matchup, but I'd have to say (WARNING: SQUALL FANBOYISM AHEAD) that Squall is probably a couple percents above Vincent by now. He got KH2, Dissidia, and the PSN download of FF8 to keep him relevant, while Vince has...Dirge of Cerberus, really. Squall is definitely the site's number 9 character at this point given Sonic's collapse, and possibly as high as number 7 (though you won't see me take him over MM and Crono without some serious demolitions beforehand). --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

For
all we know Tifa is secretly an uber powerhouse and just got hyper
SFF'd by seph, or she's good but bcos she got massive jugs we just keep
underrating her, just so we can look down on her. --- Shakes Fist! |
KanzarisKelshen | Posted 2/5/2010 4:21:55 PM | message detail |
From: voltch | Posted: 2/5/2010 7:19:19 PM | #178 Tifa is definitely NOT that good. She couldn't come too close to Sonic in 2k5, and she's got less stuff than Squall since and less innate strength than Vincent. She might have an argument for Number 3 among the near-elite crowd, depending on what she and Auron do this contest. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |
red sox 777 | Posted 2/5/2010 4:21:58 PM | message detail |
Squall got 42% against Snake directly in 2006. Snake is probably a little stronger than that now due to MGS4. --- 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.... |

"Hey,
let's ignore that Sonic Team has validated their 4-way suckiness in
this contest so far and pretend that it was just a fluke!" Squall could
beat Sonic with over 55% and I wouldn't blink an eye. From: red sox 777 | #180 Squall got 41.52% in 2007 against him (and Sonic only got 42.84% a year after he got 45%, while we're on the subject of Sonic Team dropping), so it's probably not too different. --- "I can set you free, mate."

2k7 was pre-MGS4. It's 2k8 that was post-MGS4 and post-Brawl release. If Snake doesn't comfortably keep Squall below 40%, even I won't be able to put on a brave face for the Sephiroth match. --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

For
what it's worth, Squall was ridiculous in Dissidia. Not Kefka-tier but
the amount of Nomura bias that shone through was incredible. Even tough
Squall is already established, that probably counts for a little bit! --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 2/5/2010 4:39:45 PM | message detail |
Somehow,
based on my stats, Squall gets more on Snake last year than he did in
2007! char's stats have Squall at 41.5% there. I dunno if 2008 Snake is
much different from 2007 Snake other than the fact that he got rallied
for that year. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
EternalxCourage | Posted 2/5/2010 4:40:27 PM | message detail |
When
did I suggest it? I asked if people thought that. I don't think that
Squall can beat Snake personally (if I did I would have it in my
bracket.) That said, how has Sonic team confirmed it's '4 way suckiness'? Tails held Kratos down fairly well, Dissidia boost put Cecil up there with Knux, and Lightning is completely untested. There's no reason why Lightning can't be strong, especially considering the game is already out in Japan, reviews are out, and she is modeled to be the female Cloud. Take that plus the FF name and right away you have a recipe for a decent mid-carder. Meanwhile you guys just write off all the Sonic team in the same way that you wrote off Altair. There's no way they can be that strong, therefore their opponent must be weak. When Altair eats Vivi for breakfast you'll see. Also Sonic is going to crush Ganon & Kirby on his way to putting up a respectable performance against Link. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

much different from 2007 Snake other than the fact that he got rallied

I'm not terribly concerned with Snake's 2k8 performance, even with rallying aside. His fanbase is so cobbled together these days that even in the matches where he looked good 'cleanly' (Cloud) he had some potential leeching happen (Mewtwo). Heck, the most concerning match for me these days is Hayabusa/Crash (darn you bandicoot). --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Lightning is exactly similar to Sackboy last contest. AKA, she's not a character, she's a picture. And Sonic got ****ing embarrassed by it. Sonic could still be strong, but to say that Lightning has any strength is laughable. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Can you even gauge properly Squall in 2k8? Probably not. I'm not even sure what I made the number based on. I think I may have just adjusted him off of Vinny. Of course, my stats are a mess. They've got Bowser within 1% of Auron. Honestly, the top half of my stats are basically worthless. I'd put more trust in everything below like 30% on Link in those stats because everything up at the top is just a total crapshoot. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."

EternalxCourage | Posted 2/5/2010 4:54:48 PM | message detail |
Sonic could still be strong, but to say that Lightning has any strength is laughable. Why? She's an FF lead +1, she has a similar character design to Cloud + 50000000000, her game is being marketed well, and the reviews are all very good. Why is it so hard to believe she has decent strength? I'm not saying Japan is account for all of it. I'm just saying there's been a lot out involving her, and I think, like me, a lot of people have high expectations for the game (and her as a character, too.) It's not unfathomable to believe that she might be strong. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |
