From: UItimaterializer | #397 Not really a rivalry. Just Kefka backstabbing him. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
  |
Terra's is good enough for me I think. --- :> |
Hey,
if Ramza/Delita is a good enough rivalry for people just based on their
differences in ideals, then Terra/Kefka can be a rivalry for the same
reason, why not. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
Yessss Samus 61.5%+ update trend set. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
Terra's rival is Phunbaba or Gestahl. --- "I made a topic yesterday that said God couldnt save the board from Ulti. I realize now after more posts like this that he's just God." -Sess |
Wow, this is really, really
bad. Terra and Kefka are better as a rivalry than they are alone
(unlike their opponents today), but not *that* much better. More
practically, I'd take Tidus/Jecht to rock them without too much of a
problem - stronger game, better in-game rivalry, better dynamic in
Dissidia. That means the Bosses would arguably have an outside shot at
Samus (she'll rise, but Bosses would have done better in a 24 hour
match), and that's something I didn't even remotely entertain in the
realm of possibility at the beginning of the contest. To say nothing of the Trainers/Fighters, who have simply looked more impressive. Samus is going to have to bank on a touch of non-transitivity to get to Mario, I think. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
I am SO happy I got that Kefka sprite into a match picture, by the way. --- https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85439/1.jpg https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85439/2.jpg |
Never mind I totally mis-saw the picture and thought it was Angel Kefka because of the background. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
That isn't Angel Kefka, though I guess it's possible. The background is the same. Us GeneSNES fans love our sprites, I suppose. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´ http://i45.tinypic.com/6rknmg.gif |
That's not Angel Kefka, although we've never seen this Kefka sprite in a match either. And still no laughing Kefka. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

Dammit
guys I used the edit button for the best purpose and now I look even
dumber than if I hadn't edited. This is why Bacon made the edit feature
suck. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
Should've been laughing sprite Kefka, but whaddya gonna do? --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
Honestly though if OLD FACTOR IS LEGIT YO then sprites overperforming explains everything here! Ryu/Ken have been underperforming due to having SF4 stuff! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
No wonder Samus/Ridley are doing so poorly. Melee background. Had it been a Brawl background then 80%+ no problem. --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Browns and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) The most American Canadian on Board 8 - #9 Bro on Board 8 |

tell me what Ulti? --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Browns and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) The most American Canadian on Board 8 - #9 Bro on Board 8 |
Funny
thing is that Samus/Ridley is probably the better rivalry today anyway.
I can't even remember if there was any dialogue between Terra and
Kefka. Assuming you have her in your party of 12, Terra will be the one who launches into the war of words with Kefka right before the final battle. It's a pretty memorable scene to me, and I suspect to many other fans of the game. It's certainly more than Samus/Ridley, which has literally nothing outside out-of-game sources and one game I haven't played that gets blasted by much of the internet. They uh fight. And Ridley steals a hatchling. And they fight some more. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion |
I used the Brawl version, it has better graphics <_____> --- "Dude, haven't you paid attention? Ulti's nuts are far too large to fit under your mere mortal boots." -Alec |
From: NeoElfboy | #2060 Yeah, since Kefka wipes out all of Terra's kind and then attempts to use her a a weapon to conquer a world, it is a very legit and powerful rivalry. Cyan and Kefka would be a rivalry as well - though their interactions are more limited than Leo/Kefka, what Kefka does to Cyan is beyond nightmarish. Kefka is really one evil ****er, and for that reason can be considered the rival of a lot of characters. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Terra shows up at the final battle whether you recruited her or not though, right? --- http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8516/whatisdesiresig.gif |
It saddens me seeing Vyse being so insanely weak. :*( --- - |
Man,
Samus better hope that this is the product of FF6 looking decent in its
match picture for a change if she plans on even making it past the next
round. Loving my Bosses pick right now. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Rivalry Guru Champion! |
From: UltimaterializerX | #421 It is still a Melee stage --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Browns and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) The most American Canadian on Board 8 - #9 Bro on Board 8 |
That stage is waaaaaay better in Brawl though. --- Get the X out. Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it. |
hahaha violation hunters those NKLs are so awful Yesmar and vcharon, keep pretending it means some victory for you two --- When the government has a knife at your throat and a hand on your wallet, it matters not whether it is the right hand or left hand. |
Zylo the wolf posted... Now watch Samus being unable to double Terra/Kefka tomorrow! Looks like I underestimated the FFVI duo a lot, but this makes me even more confident that Ryu/Ken will beat Samus/Bossfight IF they get past The Trainers... Or maybe my foolish The Bosses > SMAUS pick wasn't a foolish pick after all.... Now watch The Bosses lose to Chris/Wesker! --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me |
Been worried about RE > MGS tomorrow since round 1. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://images.starcraftmazter.net/4chan/for_forums/thats_the_joke.jpg |
Not bad for FF VI.Also nice job Luster with the 0 bracket.I don't think I have ever seen anyone posting a zero bracket. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Wasn't
there a 0 bracket in the villain's contest (Shoenin, if I recall) but
people kinda went "yeah 16 matches in round 1, who cares"? --- I don't know of any cases of a straight woman finding a man "too gorgeous" to kill. -Mega They've never met Ulti. -RPGLord95 |
Shoe got a 0 in villains and there were a bunch in the series contest this is the first time someone's gotten a 0 in a 32 match R1 though, yeah --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
Oh, cool! Nice job, Machine. Note that I am lovingly calling Luster a machine in the same way the Sportscenter commercial did for Pujols. --- http://content.screencast.com/users/WiggumFan267/folders/Jing/media/4fabcc51-f4ba-4f18-99e5-a10fd6df53e6/2011-03-02_2313.png |
He isn't a machine. He is just Luster. --- "intention doesn't matter? clearly your cashier degree did not require a law course." - ND to Joyrock on the legality of drinking a soda before paying |
sheesh Samus is so screwed --- xyzzy |
No
one noticed this earlier, but Terra/Kefka finally got their first cut.
When they pulled it off, they also got a second one in a row. In the past, I've only bothered to do 1 zero bracket attempt per contest, although I chose to do 2 of them for this contest. The 2 zero bracket attempts were almost identical, with the exception of the Phoenix/Gordon match. Prior to the start of the contest, that was the match I felt would give me the most trouble. This was before I had any idea that rivalries would matter. th3l3fty | Posted 11/25/2011 5:43:59 AM | message detail | quote this is the first time someone's gotten a 0 in a 32 match R1 though, yeah The big difference comes from this contest being the most predictable contest out of those that had 63 matches. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
lol how is this match even close this contest has lost all credibility --- Jon Thomson - HKP: 179, 180's: 2, top kill: 156 gg Black Turtle |
I certainly didn't expect Samus to be this weak. That opens a few possibilities. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
I
really wanted to see Samus/Ridley at least match Ryu/Ken's performance
to like their chances reaching the Final Four...and this is not that
performance. They better hope Terra/Kefka are really this good of a
team, because I'm still not sold on that idea. If the Bosses don't embarrass themselves tomorrow, I'm probably taking that upset. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
I still think Samus can beat the bosses. The trainers however, no way. They will storm right up to Mario. |
Unless
you think that Terra/Kefka simply represents FF VI as a whole, which
does pretty well in the game contests, or that they're much stronger
than Fox/Wolf as a rival pair, this doesn't bode well for Samus/Ridley
at all. Well, at least we all know who to pick for battle. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whitelens/MadokaMagicaMessagejpguj.jpg http://img.imgcake.com/whitelens/MadokaThanksjpgen.jpg |
Is this really that bad of a result? Samus will likely gain like 1.5-2% from here, so 62% won't be horrible. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Today's match making me feel better about Bosses > Samus --- http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/188/340xf.jpg http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png |
Not sure why everyone is crapping on Samus here. It's clear that there are several factors to explain this: 1) Low votals are helping older Square characters. We've seen this all contest with the FF and Chrono Trigger folks. 2) Dissidia and Dissidia 2 have clearly boosted Kefka and Terra. Even look at their performances in the last CB for further proof. 3) Sprite pics have resulted in massive overperformances for Old Square in the past. See angel Kefka. I'm a little surprised with how close this is, but we also have all day for the percentage to go up again. I still think Samus beats Ryu/Ken and thrashes the Bosses next round. --- Game of the Decade? More like Guru of the Decade mirite? |
Today's match making me feel better about RE > MGS3 LOL |
Stop
worrying. This is clearly a sign that Terra/Kefka are the new
Cloud/Sephiroth. Samus will finally beat Mario and get her revenge from
2005. You know this contest sucks when the only thing to look forward to is random Ulti trolling. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
I
still think Samus has enough raw power to beat a non-iconic rivalry
like Bosses (although that match will certainly be in question now), but
yeah, she's dead against either the Trainers or Fighters. Either of
those teams would be winning more easily here, and I very much doubt
non-transitivity would help Samus in that case, Noble 9 or not. --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: Wii_TuRtLe | #445 1. Older Square hasn't exactly looked that good. I'd say Terra/Kefka have been the exception here, not the rule. I don't think you can call Cecil/Golbez's performance good after what we saw the Trainers do to Luigi a few days ago. I'm willing to give Raiden/Vamp a little credit, but that wasn't really a strong performance for Frog/Magus. Not really seeing any boost from Crono's performance either. 2. Yes, but you're looking at them as a pair doing better against Samus/Ridley than Kefka did against Bowser and Terra did against Squall individually. That's not a good sign for Samus. 3. That one I'm more willing to buy than anything else. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
Also,
I'm wondering how much Samus is actually going to rise here. Samus has
always been very balanced in terms of trends. She doesn't have a strong
day vote. No ASV today means that Terra/Kefka may not get hit as hard as
they usually do, too. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
