If KH and Nintendo overlap, why did Sora do the best against Squall out of all 4 of his matches when Nintendo was present? --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |

Sora
will never beat Squall unless the leave Squall out of KH3, and Sora is
a total badass. Squall is always going to get some more exposure
because of his popularity in the same way that Cloud will always get
extra exposure. Whether it be a cameo, or a movie, or a completely new
spinoff game. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

Leonhart
can you give me a bit of respect now for actually backing up my claims,
whether or not you agree with my evidence. @_@ I've seen people make
wild claims like this before where they just have nothing to go on at
all. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

Well,
from looking at the last 1 on 1 contest Squall > Sora for sure. Sora
hit 45.7 on MM, which would have tranlated to about 45.2% on Sonic.. On
the other hand Squall was estimated to get around 47.5% on Sonic. The
difference then was at least 2%. The 4way matches still supported that
gap. So I really think it still holds. --- Nominate Red XIII for the Character Battle VII! He's the Lion with a fire tail from Final Fantasy VII. |

all
the SF characters save Ryu seem to be in the same close general high
fodder/lower midcarder area to me. Chun Li and M Bison were hardly
different in strength. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |
Lightning Strikes | Posted 2/19/2010 11:16:26 AM | message detail |
Your sarcasm does not stop it from being true Sora was mysteriously weak in 2007, at least in later rounds. 2008 is more recent and thus more reliable. I don't know why Sora did so much better in 2008 but characters do this some times, especially in four-wways. I mean look at Sonic last year. Bad as he's looking now last year was just abysmal in every way after a mostly strong 2007. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 2/19/2010 11:20:27 AM | message detail |
Sora was mysteriously weak in 2007, at least in later rounds Yeah, it's almost as if Squall and Sora had a fair match with no outside factors to mess up the result in 2007 or something. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Lightning Strikes | Posted 2/19/2010 11:24:09 AM | message detail |
And they didn't in 2008? Are you trying to suggest that Yoshi and Fox overlapped with Squall? Because that doesn't make much sense. Characters can vary a lot from year to year. 2007 Sora looked a lot weaker than both 2006 and 2008 Sora. |

Apparently that picture he's been posting showing Zidane in multiple different costumes that makes him look like a girl was moddable, his hostory is diabolical and he had all his accounts banned or put into purg. --- Yeah.. |

XxSoulxX | Posted 2/19/2010 12:15:50 PM | message detail |
I'm
a big supporter of Sora being stronger then what he's shown, but he's
not up there with Squall. Squall/Vincent/Auron are on a tier by
themselves right now (Crono is in there as well). Sora is on a tier
right under with Sonic, Kirby, and Ganondorf. --- "Calling Pokemon RBY a top 10 game was the most insane contest jibba-jabba ever Woe unto he who sig bets with the near-invincible Lord High creativename |
Sonic_Factor | Posted 2/19/2010 12:18:18 PM | message detail |
Sora
had his chance to show his strength versus MM in 2k6. He did well, but
it was clear he was under Squall/Vincent by a couple % at least. That
has held in the 4ways. Do people really think Sora > Squall? --- Nominate Red XIII for the Character Battle VII! He's the Lion with a fire tail from Final Fantasy VII. |
XxSoulxX | Posted 2/19/2010 12:21:44 PM | message detail |
There's really nothing showing Sora > Squall other then blind fanboyism, but to each their own I guess. Damn, Altair/Vivi is tomorrow. I'm going to miss a lot of it. Hopefully Altair takes a big lead going into the final half so I don't have to worry about missing it. --- Good Times, Great Memories |
HaRRicH | Posted 2/19/2010 12:21:58 PM | message detail |
I'd
include Sora in that tier too, though I wouldn't take him to beat any
of those names listed (or Tifa). I don't know if there's anybody
Crono/Vincent/Auron/Squall/Tifa could beat outside of themselves that
Sora wouldn't beat too. Yeah, if Charizard wins his division, it may be worth starting a countdown until a Pokemon defeats the Noble Nine again. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Soul not even you believe yourself when tiering Sonic. Sonic 60 - 40s Gan and is easily above Squall and Crono --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |
XxSoulxX | Posted 2/19/2010 12:23:16 PM | message detail |
Sonic could probably take Sora. Probably. Ganondorf I think could beat him too. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Yeah, if Charizard wins his division, it may be worth starting a countdown until a Pokemon defeats the Noble Nine again. Wouldn't Charizard be stuck with Mario if he beats Sora? He'd be dead there. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

I
made a 128-game 1v1 bracket, with the 12-hour format. Except, I think
it'd be better to start the 24-hour matches in round 3- that would only
add 2 weeks to the contest and give the more interesting late-round
matches the attention they deserve without subjecting us to boring
first round matches for 24 hours.

Kirby
lost to Bowser in 2005 and lost to Luigi in 2006. Since then, he went
on to beat Dante (twice), Leon, Master Chief, and Sonic, all
legitimately. He also beat Sephiroth with SFF/LFF/momentum, which is
damn impressive. --- Good Times, Great Memories |
