Wow, that comparison makes Red/Blue look really really good. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |

Well,
this is disappointing for Snake after playing the role of FFVII Troll
in 2008 and 2010. I guess he has two handicaps that are affecting him
here: 1. Liquid is a flaky entrant and only really a rival in one game. 2. The rivalry aspect could be limiting Snake's Nintendo support, which has been a steroid syringe in his ass since 2006. Watching Frog/Magus suck (and extrapolating to Crono), it's now reasonable to call all three of Snake's matches a disappoint. |
And to think, shrinking voter base was Crono Trigger's best chance at being powerful again. --- http://img.imgcake.com/drakeryn/alecjpguz.jpg |
First
pair (Ryu/Ken vs. Snake/Snake): I'd still take Snakes, though if those
polls were the only info I had, I'd take Ryu/Ken. Assuming Ryu/Ken =
Snakes, and Cloud/Seph finish at 63% here, the Trainers get around 47%
on Cloud/Seph, which is very very good. Enough to beat Mario/Bowser
good. Second pair: Trainers/Luigi may be an SFF match, and Waluigi is horrible anyway, so not much useful info on their side. But advantage Cloud/Seph, because Kratos/Zeus should be substantially stronger than Luigi/Waluigi, and any SFF Trainers got is gravy. Third pair: Even less useful info, because both matches are SFF beatdowns. Though I guess since they're both SFF beatdowns, Link's is more impressive if we are to try to compare them. So Trainers look pretty good to be the 4th strongest rivalry in the bracket, and they've got a shot at #3. They've got a better shot at winning than Mario/Bowser, if they can get a big bandwagon. That shouldn't be too hard if they beat Mario, and are up against Link/Cloud, the forces who always win, in the final. You bet Link/Cloud are going to get anti-voted against Pokemon in the final. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
. Liquid is a flaky entrant and only really a rival in one game. 2. The rivalry aspect could be limiting Snake's Nintendo support, which has been a steroid syringe in his ass since 2006. Snake's biggest problem is not any of those but simply that he's facing Cloud AND Sephiroth on a team. That's just way too much power for him to handle. There's only one character who can even attempt to contain this team by himself, and his name is Link. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
People overrating trainers big time. They have no chance against mario. And again people put too much importance on 1 v 1. We all know cloud/seph would never get 60% on snake. Cloud/seph together are just beasts. They can beat link. They WILL beat him --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
Question: What would Snake get on Cloud 1-on-1 these days with no Brawl boost and no bandwagon? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

From: IngmarBirdman | #2301 SFF makes it uncomparable. Cloud/Sephiroth vs. Squall/Seifer will be how you can compare to Link/Ganon vs. MM/Wily. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
17% for Alucard?Man is that low!And for today's match Cloudoth is doing all right. --- 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~ |
I'm
expecting Squall/Seifer to get absolutely embarrassed there. I'm
probably one of the bigger FFVIII fans around, and I'll be voting for
the FFVII duo. Other than maybe the opening cinematic being awesome,
there's just no reason to vote for their rivalry at all. --- Black Turtle and Zelda always win! |
Mario-Bowser vs Trainers and Cloud-Seph vs Link-Ganon will the closest matches of this contest. --- ... |
nice
performance - not good enough to put Link on notice but maybe the first
impressive FF7 match in 2-3 years. though maybe this is Snake being a
lot worse than we thought. he's yet to have an impressive performance
really. really curious to see Samus vs. Red after this. not even sure why. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
We
can all agree Sephiroth is by far and away the strongest 2nd half
Rivalry in the contest, Cloud being the #2 guy on the site overall.
Combine them together and you've got one hell of a pairing...the pairing
that can beat Link. Link is the favourite, but if there is anything out
there that can beat him..it's this contest because Ganondorf is
irrelevant and may hurt Link. People always think the LAW applies but Link beat Cloud by what? 53%? You have to look at it this way 47% of the site voted against Link and For Cloud. HE only has to make up that small%. He has Seph with him and he can do damage. I can't wait for next weeks match...almost has that Brawl/Melee Hype to it. Also just want to say that this will be the first time I'll vote in FFVII's favour ahead of Zelda in contest history and i've been voting since 2002, but as a rivalry contest...link/ganon don't deserve to win it. I'd put Mario/Bowser ahead of anything. There maybe many more people like me. P.S yes the SS disappointment has something to do with me antivoting Link. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
Djoker you are just dumb if you think after three Link matches that Ganondorf is hurting Link. --- "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 |

You have to look at it this way IMO, most of the voters are casual, I believe 50% of the voters don't sit and analyse which rivalry is better. That's why I would still go with Link with this too. --- ... |
From: Achromatic | #468 And you're being pessimistic. Ok lets put it this way. Seph boosts Cloud more then Ganon Boosts Link. I'm not saying Link has no chance or anything like that, if you refer back to what i've been saying all week..i'm just saying Clo9ud/Seph have a shot. If zelda is ever going to lose to FF ever again....this is pretty much the only tournament left. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
From: The_Djoker | #470 Yeah, I disagree with this too. I don't think Cloud/Sephiroth have a shot in hell. This is why: This site loves the Legend of Zelda. It may not be a blowout over final fantasy, but it is clear every time for several years running now. For a site that loves Link, that generally likes Ganondorf, and adores almost every single Zelda title the rivalry between those two characters is going to be a big deal. This is less a reflection of each character and more a reflection of gameFAQs love of the games and the series. Link/Ganondorf I have always thought would get a good boost from the format just because of how beloved their games are. Posting 75% on Megaman tends to make me think I was right. --- http://img.imgcake.com/Chris2pngas.png |
or ff7 remake then cloud 55-45s link |
An FF7 remake would not save Cloud and Sephiroth. --- "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 |
From: Achromatic | #471 75% for what is a virtual SFF blowout isn't anything special. MM is abysmal in Europe, only really strong in US and Zelda is stronger...you take that away MM will end up looking like crap Saying Cloud has no shot at all is just wrong. He does have a Shot. People just look at Link winning every contest and thinks that's that. Yes he's the favourite but we're talking about a guy on his own is virtually the ONLY character in the history of this contest the only GAME in the history of this contest to beat Zelda. Yes it' improbable but if it's going to happen this is the only format and contest it can ever happen in. You've got Cloud/Seph two of the top 5 strongest characters on the site as 1 entry. amefaqs loves Zelda? I've been on Gamefaqs for a long long time, i know it loves Zelda...you know another game Gamfaqs loves? FFVII. The staple and the evolution of Gamefaqs was based off the success of FFVII(and OoT) in the late 90's. These games have the biggest fanbases on this site for a reason. So yes Zelda should be favoured Link is the favourite, but don't completely discount Cloud here. He has a shot. I wanna see you debate other matches because you seem to think it's so simple. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/rivals_battle_stats.html # 5 Achromatic sure let's debate other matches, I've been spot on in this contest so far. But in the afternoon, as sadly it is work time --- "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 |
Achromatic posted... An FF7 remake would not save Cloud and Sephiroth. Now that's dumb. --- ... |
From: Achromatic | #473 Sure it wouldn't. I'm sure Countless Zelda games, Smash Bros appearance and the increase of the Nintendo fanbase on GF over the last 10 years didn't help Link either. If a FFVII remake (on PS3) happened, you can bet your ass Cloud/Seph get stronger. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
From: Achromatic | #475 I bet you have Samus over Trainers then? What is your Bracket Score. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |

Achromatic posted... http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/rivals_battle_stats.html # 5 Achromatic Whom have you picked a as your winner? --- ... |
Speaking
as someone who predicted 63% for this match and Cloud in my bracket, I
think Link would get 64-65%. So it's within the margin of error for
maybe beating Link, but I think Link should still be the favorite. |
I
don't think anyone is denying link isn't the favourite. I knew he was
the favourite when i picked Cloud. I just have this feeling things won't
go the way of the LAW. But that's why we have these debates. Lets see
what happens Next Sunday. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
Link
will always be the massive, massive, unbelievable he could even lose
favorite over Cloud going into a match because it's been like 7 years
since Cloud has even threatened Link. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Link
is the huge favorite because people have gotten burned too much
doubting Link and Zelda. The site does love Zelda, but it also loves
FFVII. 53% of the site likes Zelda more than FFVII. 47% of the site
likes FFVII more than Zelda. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Link is the huge favorite because his series isn't dead. --- Black: 3310-7431-2094 |
From: The_Djoker | #478 I have trainers over Samus, actually. Easily. Not even close. My bracket score is worse because I made a couple of poor decisions, most that I regretted right after the bracket closed (ironically mostly overestimating FF games) --- Behold the majesty that is Doom. Feast upon his greatness, and know you will never measure up. http://img.imgcake.com/Punny/scenemaybecompletepngre.png |
GranzonEx posted... Link is the huge favorite because his series isn't dead. Final Fantasy series is not dead either. Its still multi million seller. The quality is not as good as it once was but same thing happening with Zelda. --- ... |
Southwest Division Alucard vs. Dracula – 50.00% Frog vs. Magus – 46.75% Chell vs. GLaDOS – 45.34% Phoenix Wright vs. Miles Edgeworth – 43.33% Raiden vs. Vamp – 41.02% Gordon Freeman vs. Dr. Breen – 37.65% Ness vs. Giygas – 37.11% Commander Shepard vs. Saren Arterius – 36.77% Man, now I feel like a total Goober for taking Frog > Sheppard in that division finals. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
Saren's fault. 62% about to be breached, what has Clouderoth been averaging during the day? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
Looks like they've been pulling in about 63% since 9 AM. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Cloud seems to have stabilized around 12 PM and it's stayed that way since then. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
From: Lieutenant Kettch | #464 What? Squall/Seifer is a good rivalry, and they're excellent foils. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
From: Achromatic | #486 What do you have in Your bracket, Trainers or Samus. Obviously BAttle Bracket people will choose the huge favourite(trainers). --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
From: red sox 777 | #484 Or hates less. I just can't see as much Antivoting for Cloud/Seph against Link/Ganondorf. honestly, this is going to be a lot closer than people think it's going to be. I've said before, if there is a contest where FF can have a shot...it's this. Seph/Cloud together is as strong as you're going to get in terms of a Dual Pairing. I don't care if Links the favourite, i know this, we know the LAW, but i'm not going to go back on what i thougt pre-Contest. Also lets say for argument sake Link ends up Losing. What would be your reaction? --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
Jubilation cause I probably won the contest. And then dismay that someone else has the same bracket and my tiebreaker is higher. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
From: The_Djoker | #494 People thought FF was a LOCK for the series contest too. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
Celebration
for getting Cloud > Link right and for finally overthrowing Link's
reign of tyranny. And, next year I could root for Link without feeling
any compunction over him winning too much. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
I
wasn't around for that contest, but it just doesn't make sense that the
FF series would have a more unified fanbase than Zelda. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
From: pjbasis | #498 No, no it didn't. The fact that OoT got close to FF VII alone should have been a huge clue they had no chance. The second strongest FF would get ROLLED by ALttP And there are alot of stronger Zelda games than FF games at that point too. We saw Windwaker and LoZ kill everything that moved (till met by cheaters) in the games contest, not so for other FF games. They looked good to be sure (especially FF VI) but just not the same strength as the rest of Zelda. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
