Hmm. Maybe Sackboy>Vault Boy after all.

Probably not, but he won't be too far off.

Lloyd would probably beat Seifer. There's a reason he never gets in.

Eh, I really don't have a problem with Lloyd or Kratos being in these contests. They're high enough fodder to be somewhat interesting at times (but still foddery enough to make you feel stupid for picking them, like today). With 128 characters, having someone of their strength is pretty much inevitable.

I blame KH. You make whiny, sulky Squall into badass Leon, but Seifer turns into a jobber :/

Kingdom Hearts Squall is basically disc 3 Squall. He's not any different.

Yeah, no one should feel offended by Lloyd or Kratos getting in. Jade Curtiss, yeah, but thankfully his total of 100 people who nominate and vote for him wasn't enough this year.

He's not falling over himself for Rinoa aka one of the worst VG characters ever in KH, so thats a big plus.

Same here. In terms of cutting fodder, people should be targeting entrants like Guybrush and Ratchet way more than the ToS crew. I will grudgingly concede that Guybrush making it in this year is somewhat reasonable due to his new releases, but the fact that he has made more contests than Tifa and as many as Aeris is nauseating

Not with 128 character brackets, no. But frankly, I think I prefer 64 character brackets. Even with 2 matches a day, we have a ton of boring round 1 matches this year. Either way, if I were Bacon I'd just auto-seed the Noble Nine into the contest. That would solve a lot of the problems with the FFVII characters I think, who'd no longer have to compete for noms with Cloud and Sephiroth.

Unfortunately, I don't think Claire should be brought back until her industry-defining starring role in Resident Evil 6. She lost to Kairi four years ago and hasn't gotten anything of note since then, so watching her get killed would make my face cry.

Every single one of those guys (except for Morrigan and Aya) would have been given a shot to take down C. Falcon. How would that not have made the contest better?

Yeah, that is just unacceptable now. We've gotten too used to 128, that way too many contest regs would be snubbed and it would just not really feel right, to me.

You would be. I shudder to think how weak a non-SFII Street Fighter character would be in these things. Depending on how Ryu does, though, we might try to give Chun-Li another crack at this thing. The Ryu/Chun have had three new games since the last Character Battle, and after watching the three RE5 guys in action, I'm starting to get this crazy feeling that Ken's performance may have actually been good.

Honestly of all the guys who should be cut, Kratos is one of the last guys to pick and Lloyd actually definitely deserves to stay. He got royally placement screwed this year, but actually has potential to win sometimes.

Lara Croft
Morrigan
Aya Brea
Seifer
Diablo
Claire
Pac-Man
Nightmare
Chun-Li


Eh
NO. She impressed in 2002 but would be super-fodder now
See above
Sure
Eh
Eh
Legacy wise is worth it but is the biggest flop in contest history
Sure
Duh

Yeah, only a handful of those are definitely worth getting in. Other than those few you've got high-end fodder, just like the ToS cast, but with a much less devoted fanbase, or even worse, the likes of Morrigan and Aya Brea who absolutely don't deserve it and would bomb if they got in.
