I don't expect Seifer to be all that strong either. I just thought he'd be strong enough to deal with Celes! Now I'm not so sure! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
If
the Old Square 'overperformances' are just them legitimizing their past
strength, then Seifer might still be in good shape because Celes'
strength was...well, pretty awful! |
Locke didn't look very strong, i still think Celes takes third easily --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
xp1337 posted... Am I totally crazy for starting to wonder about Seifer/Celes now? I still have complete confidence in Knuckles winning but the match between those two just got more interesting to me. I'd have no confidence in Seifer finishing 2nd there anyway. With the way Sonic characters have looked so far I'd be very surprised if Knuckles could lose to Celes, let alone with SFF involved. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
What da FAQ Kefka? --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A. Scalia |
turbopuns posted... spooky96 posted...I'm thinking Skyrim dude> Tifa. Games =/= characters. Skyrim would be extremely strong in a games contest but I'm not expecting much out of Dragonborn. Characters that don't really have much "set" characterization don't do well. It's kind of like how Gordon Freeman was worthless before HL2, because he was barely even referred to by name and stuff. "Dragonborn" isn't even a name. I wanted to learn more about the character, so I went to the Elder Scrolls wiki and looked up "Dragonborn". It's apparently a type of person, "a rare individual who has been born with the blood and soul of a Dragon, but the body of a mortal, and can naturally learn and speak their ancient and powerful tongue." The protagonist of Skyrim is "the Last Dragonborn". So I guess he/she wasn't even really nominated under the correct name. Appearance And again, there's that last sentence. Race and gender are left to the player's discretion. While Shepard has managed to make this work okay for him/her, I have trouble expecting great things out of such highly customizable characters. I could be completely wrong. It certainly wouldn't be the first time. But I don't think the Skyrim protagonist will be anywhere near as strong in a character battle as the game itself would be in a games contest. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Kefka has over FIFTY percent of the vote in Canada. Canada loves FFVI for whatever reason. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 29/34 Today's Picks: Lara Croft and Ryu H. |
After
how much Rinoa sucked it up I wouldn't have much faith in Seifer at
all. It's more a contest of who sucks more between Celes and Seifer. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Zack Fair should not be doing so well against Kefka. Is SFF coming into play here or are the people that would liek either character too far apart due to the nature of both characters? --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Zack recovers from the dip slightly. He has to turn North Am around to win though! And that's gonna be hard...real hard. |
So
is Rydia at the top of the Strongest characters to not win a contest
match list? I'm trying to think of who else could be up there... |
Hell yeah mah boy Ryu be cutting --- Drop it to the floor... |
charmander6000 posted... Kefka has over FIFTY percent of the vote in Canada. Damn right we do! Also, Kefka +25 on Zack last split. --- I pwn you all! |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... turbopuns posted...spooky96 posted...I'm thinking Skyrim dude> Tifa. This is great and all, but I don't think you're considering that Skyrim fans will see dragonborn and recognize it and vote him because they like skyrim. You are making it way too complicated. |
So
when I filled out my bracket I had Kefka going two rounds because it
was obvious. I changed that to Zack going two rounds 3 days before the
tournament started because anyone with knowledge of past contests knows
that Zack should kill Kefka. Oops... |
MegatokyoEd posted... North America is killing Zack right now. Most of that is coming at Ryu's expense. The Xbox 360 is not as strong in Canada compared to the US and that affects Ryu's performance in Canada. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Ugh, I hate Kefka so much. Thanks for the -6 in Expert and the 3 lost bracket points, you stupid clown. Why is he suddenly stronger than Zack? Why can't that clown ever make sense? --- Bracket score: 33 / Expert score: 174 |
--Smurf-- posted... LOLContests posted...--Smurf-- posted...It's good that character strength is dynamic, it's just strange when the ones boosting are playstation characters from 15 years ago and old square from 20 years ago. Even Pokemon took a good 10 years for it to do anything on the site. Crash and Ratchet looked pretty good last contest, nothing really changed there. When has Jak ever looked bad, Yoshi match aside? Not to mention the fact that Lara just had a new well-received game this year, so she's not reall a character "from" 10 years ago. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |

Sums up my point nicely about not paying attention to the details. |
Oh you people with '10 years of analyzing contests' and 'Kefka chokes every single time' it is known --- sig |
--Smurf-- posted... xp1337 posted...Am I totally crazy for starting to wonder about Seifer/Celes now? I still have complete confidence in Knuckles winning but the match between those two just got more interesting to me. Maybe I wasn't clear. I have always had complete confidence in Knuckles in that match. What I meant was I took Seifer > Celes without thinking too much and now I'm wondering if it merits thinking. ...Or maybe if it should have before. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Kefka: So... you think you hit me!? That was simply my shadow! --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |

Well, this is a good result for you Gilgamesh > Booker people --- F*** BT |
ctesjbuvf posted... If Kefka wins, I'll go ahead and say we're seeing a case of rSFF here. Zack is stronger overall, but the FF fanbase prefer Kefka above him, so while Zack has more support from the outside, the fact that the fanbase prefer Kefka will be what gives him the win. Hmm, I didn't even consider that idea when I saw this result. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Last split Kefka +20 to Zack, Zack -1 to Ryu. Pack it up folks. --- I pwn you all! |

Real talk, I have Kefka and you're out of your mind. Ragging on the stats is all well and good but I'm positive you've been on the wrong side more often than they have, unless you've won a whole slew of contests that I'm not aware of. --- sig |
Oh you people with '10 years of analyzing contests' and 'Kefka chokes every single time' it is known Kefka loves to screw with the board, you have a better chance with him by going against the board consensus --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 29/34 Today's Picks: Lara Croft and Ryu H. |
Good to see the rightful winner winning, even if I took ZackFAQs in the lolbracket --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
Wait...some
people had Kefka not winning? Was that the popular opinion? Because
I have Kefka winning in my bracket because....I dunno seemed obvious. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
yeah.
that's almost like declaring a match over because of the board vote.
we've already seen a much bigger come back. a 300 vote difference for
FF7 after the power hour isn't much, honestly. |
FFVII is weaker, just didn't think Hayabusa would go down with him. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 29/34 Today's Picks: Lara Croft and Ryu H. |

I changed that to Zack going two rounds 3 days before the tournament started because anyone with knowledge of past contests knows that Zack should kill Kefka. Real talk, I don't think you even know what my point was that I'm referring to. I said "it's times like these" when it pays off. I never claimed to be the master of the contest or anything. |
SliceSabre posted... Wait...some people had Kefka not winning? Was that the popular opinion? Because I have Kefka winning in my bracket because....I dunno seemed obvious. Most people here had Kefka not winning. And it was an extremely popular opinion. Casuals going to wreck the board in prediction percentage in this match. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
The most surprising thing is probably both FF reps being above Ryu H. Though it's definitely possible he's weakened since NG3 got terrible reception. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
*votes in poll* *Sees results* WTF KEFKA IS WINNING? XD LOL ZACKFAQS --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |
TheKoolAidShoto posted... Well, this is a good result for you Gilgamesh > Booker people Don't pursue LU BU!!! Being a fan of DW i can only hope --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BMcwhStCYAAr-mC.jpg Dallas Cowboys and Mavs |

I changed that to Zack going two rounds 3 days before the tournament started because anyone with knowledge of past contests knows that Zack should kill Kefka. No, I was referring to exactly that. There's plenty of deceptively 'obvious' results that the board consensus will save you from annihilating your bracket on - specifically, most every other time Kefka's bombed in the past! Obviously this Kefka wouldn't do anything humiliating like lose to Tommy Vercetti now, and I took him full in mind that it was a crazy-ish pick - but times like these are called "getting lucky". --- sig |
xp1337 posted... SliceSabre posted...Wait...some people had Kefka not winning? Was that the popular opinion? Because I have Kefka winning in my bracket because....I dunno seemed obvious. Just like last year. Why do we always underestimate Kefka again? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Not
at 300 votes yet. Next update will probably do it, but it's a sight for
sore eyes to see Zack end Kefka's power hour with a diminished gain. |
Last split: Kefka +10 to Zack Zack +27 to Ryu --- I pwn you all! |
First hour is over. Kefka leads by 294. Currently got 54.57% against Zack. Hmm...... --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Zack's popularity was one of the weirdest things to me in the 2010 contest as well If you told me before that contest that he was going to do better than Cid Highwind I would never believe you --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

OK then I don't understand your thought process at all. B8 picks Zack. Casuals pick Kefka. Kefka wins. "It's times like these that it pays off to be a casual." "No, you're wrong." ...what? |
What the hell... I had Ryu H winning this and didn't really think much about it. I was positive Zack and Kefka would kill each other. F***ing Kefka, man.. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Zack
gained percentage on Kefka, but lost votes. Once again, I'll be stupid
and believe that he'll continue to gain percentage because then
eventually he'll start cutting too. And I'll likely be disappointed once
more! --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |

Plenty of people had Kefka>Vercetti, Kefka>Diablo and were horrified to see him nearly lose to Pac-man. --- Fast Falcon ate my bracket for dinner in the guru contest. |
