Actually, now that I think about it, Sora is one of the most clutch guys we have:

2004 - Very debated fourpack with Hayabusa and Jill. Sora crushes it.
2005 - Very debated R2 match with Alucard. Sora gets the easy 55/45.
2006 - Nothing unexpected, but he brought his A+ game against Mega Man.
2007 - Debated R2 match against Aeris. Kills her.
2008 - Debated R2 match against Yoshi. Smashes him and scared Squall in the process.

Sora shows up. In the last few years, Bowser... has not.

Even if Kefka hits 40% (which I am very much hoping he does!) that puts Bowser awfully near Crono based on Crono/Alucard, Alucard/Arthas, and Kefka/Arthas.

For the record, using those matches, Kefka would be expected to get 37.31% on Crono - slightly better than Frog did on Bowser.

Sora strikes me as a character that'll never really blow anyone out, but won't really choke either. Laharl is definitely doing better than expected, but I'm not too worried about it - it's not like Bowser's performance against Frog was a show-stopper or anything.

It's Kefka. Who the hell knows what his performance means? He could break 40% or get doubled and I don't know if we'd really learn anything reliable from it.

128-character 4-way All Tales Character Contest.

With the winner facing Navi in a bonus match.


Strongest of Jade/Luke/Yuri wins after Lloyd/Kratos/Mithos [or Zelos/Sheena] destroy each other in the finals.

Navi then either pushes for 80% [in which case 2nd Bonus Match against Link for some real lol X-Stats hilarity], or ends up inspiring such a legendary anti-vote that she loses.

And now for something TOTALLY RELIABLE!

Based on Laharl's percentage right now, Neku gets 27.89% on Sora. Neku got 22.05% on Ganondorf last year!

Sora looks awful no matter what you do!

Who will never come back again because that was just the Villains Contest.

Seriously, having Lloyd and Kratos in the bracket every year isn't that big of a deal.

Bowser has had his moments, though. He's come the closest of anyone of dethroning the N9 in 1v1 until Missingno. Of course he had the perfect storm of the 2005 Nintendo Boost, his solid performance in the Villains Contest, facing the weakest N9 member at the time, and having one of the weirdest pic advantages imaginable, and even then he still couldn't pull it off.

Yeah, Sora is still the favorite here.

No. Kratos > Charizard implies Tails = Vivi based on Vivi/Altair.

Not to mention implying Tails > Altair and Tails > Donkey Kong

Unless one of those two performances was a fluke!

Re-read what you just wrote. They're *all* bad. If all FF characters sucked, we'd be screaming to get rid of them too.

e.g. nobody wants to see any FF12 characters again, even fans of the game (like me). They suck, so screw 'em :) They just don't belong.

It just seems to be really hard to find any "good" pictures of Kefka; any FMV headshot of him seems to be the best (to me).

Kuj...Oh wait, outside of the Villains Contest.

But saying ANY Tales character is unfair. Jade Curtiss is one of the weakest characters ever. He finished dead last in the stats last year.
