Vyse should never be trusted to ever break 30% in a match against someone who is at least a midcarder, given his poor contest record.

Why SFF and not Vyse just being weak? He was only at the fodder line 7 years ago.

Guys, I'm sure there's a small bit of SFF in this, but I think this is clearly the doing of Galcian. Nobody cares about him, and nobody cares about his rivalry with Vyse. It's just Captain Falcon/Black Shadow again, except at least Falcon is strong to begin with.

Why would he be so weak as to get 80-20d by a probably low tier entry?

Unless Terra manages to get close to Samus, SFF is the only possible reason, besides being weak anyways.

This being the main reason. The numbers between Cloud, Tifa and Terra are remarkably close. You might dismiss age but the Cloud/Tifa polls were only a year apart so its feasible that Vyse is suspect to this kind of harassment from all things Final Fantasy. Not a shock really that the SoA fanbase is mostly a subset of Square.

I wonder just how Terra/Kefka would do against the two teams up tonight. Based on the last contest, we might actually have a case of Terra being stronger than Tidus and Kefka being stronger than Jecht.

Actually, I'd wager that Vyse/Galcian is the weakest rivalry in the entire bracket. Only Sol Badguy/Ky Kiske could be any weaker I think.

Seriously, unless you expect Kid/Guy to nearly double Vyse/Galcian, SFF has to come into the picture here somewhere.

This so hard.

But we know Vyse is fodder at this point and he's only getting weaker with time. Plus y'know Skies of Arcadia is never going to be on the right side of RPG SFF against Final Fantasy.

And given that Link looked as bad as in 2003 last year or worse, I am setting a lofty goal of 40% for Frog/Magus. I want to see them win an update overnight.

Have you ever played Skies of Arcadia? Ramirez is a much worse character than Galcian. Ramirez is Galcian's little ***** and when Galcian dies in a fierce battle, Ramirez actually CRIES. LOL! Crybaby! XD

Galcian made the contest because DetroitDJ asked us to, and we owed him a nom after his charity thing. There are currently two topics on the front page wondering why Galcian is here. What you think of Ramirez doesn't matter; he would probably be doing a little better here than Galcian would.

And yeah, Ramirez is a lost pawn, but that's what makes him interesting. If you don't like him, okay, but "LOL HE CRIES" just sounds pretty dumb.

Also, my Oracle average RIP. I'm like 15 below ... AGAIN.

The crying kinda ruined Ramirez for me. He was doing his best Sephiroth impersonation the entire game, and then he lost all his badass points by crying at the end.

DANG... Terra/Kefka's performance is even more shocking than that of Sub-Zero/Scorp! If another match shocks me more than this one, I'll eat my hat. Looks like old-school FF has really taken off on this site. About time! Even the games are like 20 years old....haha. This is why I hope GameFAQs never increases its mainstream appeal. >_> Even though it could be bad for its business..... oh, how torn I am....

Yeah, Frog/Magus is looking pretty darn good to win their division. Keep in mind, though, that Frog and Magus haven't had any indications of increased popularity. I still have faith in Alucard/Dracula. They kind of remind of Scorpion/Sub-Zero, and look at how well the MK pairing did this round!

This has nothing to do with old-school FF taking off and everything to do with Dissidia. That, and SFF.

Agreed, there may be SFF but this is also what happens when the two strongest characters by far are both on the same team. You get uber-blowouts.

Its why I've been saying that Zelda will completely obliterate Arthas/who and that it won't mean jack ****. Both Link *and* Ganon are miles above Arthas, and Illidan is as weak as you can get.

Link could get 90% and fail to make the finals. People shouldn't be shocked if this happens.

What? Galcian is without question the proper rival, even if he isn't the final boss. That's not to say he's stronger than Ramirez, but he is the true rival.

Also there's some pretty weak characters in the bracket. I'd take Galcian ahead of a few.

Probably Dr. Fetus. Super Meat Boy is a downloadable game and those games were weak as hell in GotD (Mega Man 9 was a rare exception), so a character from a downloadable game will be even more pathetic than the game itself.

What about "The Kid" then? (the guy would probably be more popular as the title character)
Unless the joke factor has a huge influence. But most people probably wouldn't get the kid if he was by himself.
