yoblazer is waiting for fire off yet another salvo shot.


It's okay, he's well known for shooting blanks.

If Link gets under 80 percent in the first hour I'm calling time of death.

I second this.

Its not like that didn't happen last year to a Warcraft character and he still won the contest. I'm looking forward to all the people calling doom for Link just because he replicates his performance against Thrall last year. I'd only start worrying if he struggles to triple Arthas.

X, Chris, Terra, Mario, Ryu, Sub-Zero, etc. weren't easily pushing for or achieving 80 last contest either!

Today's 80 percent is not 2010's 80 percent.

Man, all we have to do is get through these next two days of horribly boring matches, and the SHOWDOWN OF ROUND ONE will be upon us.

Huh, I just realized that Phoenix/Gordon is on a Sunday. Not sure if that'll affect anything or not.

Link/Arthas might be the most lopsided pic so far - and yet Link should still get a sextupling.

From: LeonhartFour | #044
Auron/Jecht isn't a rivalry.

So no.


It kind of is though.

FFX SPOILERS

Auron's whole thing is to get Tidus to fight Sin/Jecht. Yeah it's to save his friend's soul or whatever, but his entire scheming for the whole game still revolves on fighting him.

END FFX SPOILERS

Plus it doesn't matter - Auron/Jecht as a team would just be a lot stronger than Tidus/Jecht. Because it's Auron and not Tidus. There's no comparison. That's why I was asking if Auron/Jecht could beat the Bosses. I think it would be close.

I don't think Auron/Jecht would be noticeably stronger just because you plug a stronger character in because voters will recognize that it isn't a rivalry.

I mean, unless you don't believe in Rivalries Matter, then that's a fair assumption to make.

I imagine its probably the same kinda thing that happened with the Boss pic today... it looks awesome if you're already a fan of the characters, and looks lame if you aren't.


I think the Arthas/Illidan pic looks real good and I don't know anything about the characters.

From: LeonhartFour | #071
They probably would have, but they hardly got any noms on Board 8.


I nommed them, and I would have expected them to make it too. Sucks they didn't. Would've been one of the top rivalries in the x-stats probably.

From: HaRRicH | #081
I'd take Tidus to win in those matches. Yuna would rely on FFX-2, Jecht would rely on Dissidia, and there's no way I'm trusting Rikku with FFX-SFF. Tidus isn't great, but FFX is his story.


Jecht has absolutely no need for Dissidia to beat Tidus. Now I'm not saying Jecht would beat Tidus, I don't think he would, but I doubt Dissidia would make much difference. Jecht was very memorable in FFX and I'm sure plenty of FFX fans would vote him over Tidus.

As I've stated since before the contest, when you have TWO characters who are both stronger than their opponents, blowouts will be exaggerated. You cannot equate this to Link vs. Arthas 1v1. Link and Ganon are both light years beyond Arthas/whatever.

If Link can't get 80% he's probably ****ed. But that's not going to happen. Link will destroy this poll, bad pic or not.

Man, it's strange to see that we still have nearly 9% of brackets still perfect almost halfway through the first round. I'm sure we'll lose a big chunk of them on this match, but that's still pretty crazy.

But...it is kind of a rivalry, plus Auron is soooo much stronger than Tidus.

And at the very least Auron and Jecht are very, very closely associated with each other.

So are Cloud and Aerith, but that doesn't make them rivals! Or Cloud and Zack, Squall and Laguna, or whatever other pairing you want to throw in there!

As an FFX fan, I wouldn't vote for Auron/Jecht over that much because it's not much of a rivalry.

Let's be honest. Would Link's pic ever actually matter. I feel like if you're gonna vote Link or not is never decided by the picture. Same with Mario.

There are still weirdos who insist Link only lost to Cloud in 2003 because of Wind Waker pics!

It's somewhat of a shame how Tidus/Jecht had to go up against Big Boss/The Boss so early. I think they might actually be my two favorite rivalries in the whole contest.

I don't love FFX all too much, and I have only played MGS3 partway (though I know more about the story than that), but they really are quality parent (figure)/child (figure) rivalries. Lots of resentment and love- complicated further by trying circumstances, shared goals with contrasting attitudes, et cetera.
Most of the entries have silent protagonists, overused characters, or simple villains in them.

So, I voted for Tidus/Jecht just because they were getting less votes..
