sorry thought it was a battle contest |

Actually,
even if this were "Who would win in a fight," Kratos would run into
Laharl not very long after where he ran into Charizard and if the votes
really were based on a "fight" pretty sure Laharl should slaughter
there. Which is always why I found those complaints funny, you had
people complaining about Kratos losing the day after Laharl lost, when
Laharl should probably have been the undisputed contest overlord under
those criteria. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k10 (331/384) Link v Cloud |

yes
i would agree Lahari is superior the only problem is that Kratos
refuses to just stay dead..so eventually after he came back from the
underworld enough times i'm sure he would have his revenge....eventually |

From: Hvv0l24n9 | #254 Is Laharl beating Sephy? Assuming this contest was actually about "Who would win in a fight," I'm fairly confident Laharl could take on the 127 other characters in the bracket at the same time and win easily. Usually we have KOS-MOS or someone around to make that kind of thing more questionable, but not this time around. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

From: Cyclo_Reaper | #261 While I only believe Kuja to be stronger, he never makes the contest, so I'm leaving him out. FFVII-wise, he's the top character. What characters in the bracket are stronger than Sephiroth? I really don't have an idea. --- PSN: Iquan_5 XBL: Vash Iquan Hey...would you say I became a hero? |

From: tgs2 | #262 Couldn't Prinny technically be stronger than Laharl if you aren't having level restrictions? >_> <_< Doesn't this also benefit Laharl? Pretty sure he has higher base stats too. In any case, the main reason why Prinny wouldn't be stronger than Laharl can be summarized as: "Prinny bowling, dood!" --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

Kuja
has made the contest before, and Exdeath is without question stronger
then Sephiroth... even Kefka is stronger then Sephiroth in world of
Ruin. And really, there are too many characters to list who are stronger then Sephiroth. He's essentially just a genetically mutated super soldier, while Laharl can blow up an entire world with the snap of his fingers. Theres just a massive disparity in strength. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/24y7282.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Dr_Football fanboyism |

From: Cyclo_Reaper | #265 The only reason I ask is because Sephiroth does have his you-can-go-take-a-leak-and-make-a-sandwich long attack(Super Nova) that destroys every damn thing. I don't think they'd have given him such an attack if he couldn't do it, but oh well. --- PSN: Iquan_5 XBL: Vash Iquan Hey...would you say I became a hero? |

have enough influence to stop Link from winning! --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

***FFVII Spoilers*** From: Hvv0l24n9 | #280 ***SPOILER*** Well I was under the impression that he wanted to hurt the earth so it could heal itself with lifestream, not destroy it. And maybe he has to be Safer anyway. Yes, but are you saying he had only two options, "Meteor" and "Supernova" with nothing inbetween? He couldn't possibly cast something in the middle? Or manipulate the path of the Supernova one in such a way that it "only" does major damage instead of going for a direct hit? I'm not even going to point out that I'm pretty sure if you take the Supernova animation at face value, then the Supernova one was going well beyond the speed of light. ***End Spoilers*** In any event, just to try and keep this from becoming Contest Stats and Sephiroth Discussion, I think I'll stop here and not pursue this any further. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

To
be serious here, it's undeniable Link has dropped a lot this year.
Cloud took a drop to the point where he is barely ahead of the
Snake/Samus/Mario tier and Sephiroth looks behind those guys. The fact
that Cloud is doing well despite this shows Link has dropped. His
performances against Thrall, Alucard and MMX were absolutely terrible.
He only "looked" good after that because of SFF. The N9 is closer in
strenth than it has ever been. Problem is, most of the N9 is Nintendo
so that only leaves Cloud, Snake and Seph. And after Seph proved to be
fodder this contest, that only leaves Cloud and Snake. If the USA
continues to lose influence (as it has been every year) then Link will
suffer. |
Lightning Strikes | Posted 3/21/2010 9:54:43 AM | message detail |
They're
completely different. In 2006 Cloud slowly gained percentage throughout
the day, contrary to what we expect from a weekend match. This match
has followed standard weekend patterns, and Cloud has been losing
percentage with the day vote. |

Fair
enough. I haven't really been comparing this match to those trends
consistently, so I didn't know if we were still following them somewhat
or not. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k10 (331/384) Link v Cloud |

TheOneAboveAll | Posted 3/21/2010 9:58:22 AM | message detail |
Even
if Link is falling, he can still only lose to Cloud for next year, and
maybe Snake. So why let him blow away 6 other potentially interesting
characters en route to beating Cloud by less than he won this year (I'm
talking worst-case scenario for Link) and building the hype that Cloud
or Snake can actually beat him in 2012? Why not just pit Link against
the winner of the tournament? Since no one else in the bracket will
come anywhere near him anyway, why waste those characters? We'll all
get the possibly-closer Link/Cloud match we want, and we won't have to
destroy half the bracket to do it. |
