We're calling that a good showing for Roxas? To me it looked like he got hammered.

Pssh, no true Sonic-fav votes for the Werehog.

Seriously, he has to have a pic somewhere in this contest. I just hope it's not against Ganon or Kirby.

Wow, that would instantly become like the most controversial pic ever if that happened.

Link vs. the Werehog?

...Alucard > Sonic...?

Magus > Sonic...?

Being worth 45% on Tidus is pretty good for Roxas. You can't expect much more than that from him, really.

41% against Sub-Zero is very respectable. Subby is worth, what, 40% on Auron? Beat 2006 Chief? Yeah.

KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

If we ever get a contest where characters get different forms of themselves as separate entrants (so for example, Link would have OOT Adult Link, OOT Young Link, LTTP Link, WW Link, TP Link, Zelda 1 Link, Dark Link, CD-i Link, etc.), how big a blowout would Sonic the Hedgehog vs. Sonic the Werehog be?

(I know nobody else would be interested in such a contest, especially not Albion).

Well, only LtM would vote for the Werehog, so...

Pretty big.

Give me Dante and Riku. I don't think Dante getting a DMC2 pic will be a factor. The last clean Captain Falcon match was in 06, where he looked awful.

Worse than Link/Ganon.

Demyx is better than Axel.

Speaking of sonic. We need a chubby classic sonic sprite for round 3. None of this sonic advance crap.

Nominate Red XIII for the Character Battle VII!
He's the Lion with a fire tail from Final Fantasy VII.

Assume Charizard wins his division. What would be the prediction percentage? 6%?

---

Charizard winning the division would probably be sub-10%. It might get close to that if he beats L-Block.

Ratchet almost gets a cut!

Link vs. the Werehog?

...but here? Sorry Sonic, always liked ya, but Sega made you into this perverted shell of an icon because people thought they'd like you, so now it's time to see if they made the right decision.

(I bet they didn't, though I have no plans to play it)


Charizard winning the division would probably be sub-10%. It might get close to that if he beats L-Block.

I figure it'll go sub-10% for L -- this is a former champion with 62.47% of the brackets against a newcomer with 18.62%. No way 10+% of the brackets have Charizard winning the division.

Man, the fact that 38% of bracket makers thought Isaac, Professor Layton, or HK-47 could beat L-Block should tell you how highly we think of it nowadays!

Speaking of low prediction percentages, Jecht should go pretty low here.

"So cold. I am always by your side."

46.64% took Duke Nukem and...only Duke Nukem to beat Charizard. I also don't recall any brackets with Charizard winning it all on the leaderboard!

I'm not saying it's not going to be low, but it sounded like you were touting 62% of brackets having L-Block as if that were impressive!
---
"The great GF...Bahamut."
"...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..."

To add to it, technically L had a better prediction-percentage this round than Mega Man.

Save your logical excuses!

"Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW

Haha, it's not, but it's impressive enough to arguably push Charizard under 10% next round. That's less than half of its bracket-support and Charizard's been surprisingly low on us twice so far.

Whee another one of those days where I wake up and read tons of "massive underperformance by Jecht", "Ratchet could win!", etc. from the first ten minutes, and then go to vote and see someone nearing 57+%. >.>

Nice, Jecht really starting to catch fire here.

At this rate, Jecht might hit 58% before the dead zone (4-6 AM EST) even starts.

Yeah, looks like Jecht is gonna hit 58%. Any chance Jecht > Ezio?

Yeah, a big chance. Too bad it'll be Zelda though.

I probably wouldn't take that. I don't think Ratchet has boosted that much (if at all); he still looked extremely weak in the 4way brackets. He got a bad 23% against Ganon in 2007. His 33% on Tifa in 2008 looked better, but remember that Tifa and Seph were dealing with each other and Ratchet was the voters' only non-FFVII option outside of Nana. He's still weaksauce, and I'm a bit disappointed in this performance from Jecht.

Lulu > Jecht for the next character battle!

Just talking about where he'll end up in terms of strength. Good thing they both face a common, strong opponent. Looks like FF has the best new characters again. Looking back at this contest, people had high hopes for the stronger western characters. They've all really flopped.

If only Seymour had made Dissidia I'd finally be able to make a decent rally for him.

Well, Zelda's got Ezio and Jecht in day matches. You really can't ask for much more if you want to gauge how they'll do against each other.

Simon or Ratchet?

that would pretty well answer Jecht or Ezio

I think I'd take Simon, so I'd sort of have take Ezio.

Charizard? Missingno.?

Simon hasn't been relevant in forever though. I'll reserve judgment until Zelda is up against both of them. As for best new characters this year, I don't think any one series dominates. Charizard is obviously the best entrant, but I am not buying Missingno. as any sort of legitimate strength "character". Just this year's L-Block, not a lot more than that.
---
:>

Well, is among them. The point is that the new Western characters from 07 on are still not becoming more popular characters than the new ones coming from traditional places, which was a trend being talked about at the beginning of the contest. Maybe the places the Charizards and Cids of the contest aren't new, but I was expecting more new Western characters filling up the contest when the non-regulars lost popularity over time. I don't care either way, but it was a big subject leading up to the contest.

---
-Heals severely dry skin -18 hour moisturization -Fragrance free -With Vitamin E

Perhaps today's gamers just don't care about the characters in these games anymore. It's probably not a good thing when the most powerful "western" character ends up being Master Chump.
---
:>

I don't think Missingno. will stay at Noble Nine slaying strength next year, but it wouldn't surprise me if it stayed around Mewtwo's level in terms of strength. I don't expect Missingno. to suddenly become fodder or anything like that until Pokemon in general starts to fall off.
---

I would buy it at some sort of low midcard to midcard strength, yes, but it remains to be proven.

I wouldn't be surprised if GameFAQs contests stopped happening before that comes to pass.

Agreed. I would put Kratos and maybe Altair in that category as well. Where would you rank them? I don't know if they are even top 30. I wonder if we'll end up running out of good new characters eventually.

---

If Kratos isn't top 30, that reflects very poorly on Charizard. I dunno, people were expecting too much out of the dragon in that match - that was a good win.

Kratos has dipped I think, I wouldn't put him in my top 30. Not that far outside of it, he's probably second behind Master Chief. I'd feel confident saying Chief > Kratos > Altair but yeah... Altair is really strange. He either overperforms or underperforms.
---

after the loss to Ryu, I wouldn't even consider taking Chief to beat Kratos

that was just sad

It's a good point. Chief would look better indirectly I think, but one on one... at this point he might lose to a whole lot of people.
---
:>

I'd think he's like... fourth strongest Western guy at this point, maybe, although that could be me putting a little too much faith in Gordon, I have so very little faith in Master Chief at this point.

Who would you take as the face of "western gaming" now?

Technically speaking, Sub-Zero is a western character... going by the definition of western as created by a company based in the western hemisphere.
---
:>

probably Kratos. Sub-Zero is up there strenght-wise, although I wouldn't think of him as "the face of Western gaming" since he's not as big of a deal these days.
