Four Swords Adventure isn't mainline... but even then, Gamecube has two if you want to count Twilight Princess, since it is mainline and on the Gamecube.

And as far as FFXIII goes, I wouldn't expect it to be all that strong here. Its peak isn't even FFX -- it won't be that accepted or well-liked. I think it'll probably be closer to something like FFIX, or around there, because despite being the first Final Fantasy, it's hardly something that everyone is going to take to, even people who like FFX. Whoever said Lightning could be the next Squall, though, was dead on. Lightning's got real potential, the other characters are probably sub-FFX level, except for Sazh.

You know, I wonder if Wander's picture might be helping him out here. Yeah, it sucks and is low quality, but you look at that picture and you know "That's the Shadow of the Colossus guy." You couldn't tell that from his other pictures.

Or maybe being 1-on-1 helps him or something. Or maybe Falcon just blows hard.


You've done way better, but now you're in the picsmith boat of "Why did Bacon pick this? I did better for this same character."

BTW I expect it to be a good thing for Vault Boy that its a night match... He actually won his vote in quite easily in Europe, and that was even with 2 other WRPG characters in it.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3695&region=EUR

Also, Fallout 3 beat Smash Bros in Europe in the Goty Poll in 2008:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3364&region=EUR

Actually, every single match I look at relating to Fallout, it does better in Europe... So expect a really good deep night vote for him.

Me:Really, is it because of his potential characterization? The personality? The motives?

I dunno, looking at the designs, Snow's got the beanie and he's blonde, 12 year olds and under are scared of strong women, so they might flock to the cool looking blonde dude for comfort.
But lightning should have a LOT of potential, possibly stronger than these Assassin's creed guys.

well the little faith I had left in GoW III help kratos has evaporated once I realised even a game as big as mass effect 2 is getting lost with the upcoming release of FFXIII, it really feels like that game is brushing everything aside and not letting any other game hype itself on gamefaqs.
FFXIII, just crushed all talk of anything else.

I think we've had a much better fun-to-boring match ratio than that.

Alucard/Magus
Red/Ocelot
Ammy/Shadow
Drake/Boss
Knuckles/Lightning
Cecil/Knux
Wesker/Ken
Altair/Liquid
Zack/Yuna
Chief/Spy
Kefka/Arthas
Charizard/Duke
Niko/REBOOST JILL
Roxas/Heavy
Tidus/Sub-Zero
PW/Jecht

All of those were pretty fun matches, and that list isn't even counting a few blowouts/underperformances that were unexpected enough to be interesting (Link, Cloud, Mega Man). I think people are just down because apart from the first 20 minutes of Ezio/Simon, nothing in the last seven matches has been exciting. I'm confident things will pick up.
