Look at that, Xenoblade character sucking. No shock.

Speaking of sucking, I meant that Kefka's up tomorrow. He's really gonna suck, eh?
#53 | Karma Hunter | Posted 7/25/2013 9:07:28 AM | message detail
Again, I would have taken anyone worth a damn to win this match (Altair has definitely fallen off). But... it's Ratchet and Shulk.

these matches are the worst how come Wrex couldn't have this pack

does anyone picture Ratchet still being around where he was in 2010 now or.. is he back to fodder?

There's only a few scripters, it's just that scripting is a lot quicker than voting the proper way. Top 10 is definitely possible without scripting (I got #10 without a script today).

Kefka only sucks when we expect him to be good, then he turns around and beats Arthas.

Obviously Spyro (and Clementine) are much stronger than Altair and Ratchet!

Yeah but we can't just arbitrarily throw around "third place factor" when we clearly don't understand it. Reyn had even less reason to get "third place factor'd" than Shulk because Reyn stood out more.

And I would expect Altair to fall off a bit in Round 2. He always does better in Round 1 because he gets a full body shot that shows off the Assassin duds, which is all anyone cares about in regards to Altair. In the face round, he'll probably get weaker, just like the other years.

I wonder if it's that more people who haven't played Xenoblade recognise Shulk (and his weapon?) as the main character and are voting him out of respect for the game. Long shot though.

Reyn's probably just really weak. I would've thought him to be 2nd-strongest pre-contest but the fact that he got a way lower seed than Shulk or Dunban probably tells the story.

Shulk is almost as strong as Liquid Snake! Who really should've been in the bracket to supply us with more absurdity.

Ratchet only lost that update by 13 votes. I doubt he can make a match of this, but he can at least keep it close enough to embarrass Altair.

I think you guys are overrating Reyn in relation to other Xenoblade characters:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960564-xenoblade-chronicles/63564514

It's reasonable that Shulk and Dunban are merely fodder while Reyn is turbo-fodder despite his few good lines.

Yeah, I don't know anyone who actually likes Reyn. Probably just some people who think "reyn time" is a funny meme nominating him.
