Squirtle dropping like a stone now. He might barely finish the Power Hour above 60%. Need to wait an update or two to see that though.

Am I the only person who thinks Delita would probably outperform Ramza? Maybe I'm in the minority but I don't think Ramza will be the strongest character from FFT (obviously FFT originals only). Not that I think any FFT char would be worth an awful lot anyway.

I did nom Delita but he wasn't even in the database when I did it iirc.

Yes.

Because he wouldn't.

This is a good result for Squirtle if he can hold it, and would make him the well-deserved favorite over Dante. Should he drop too much below what Dante got on Laharl I'd feel good about backing the Son of Sparda.

I was just thinking first Lugia and now Squirtle.

Although the fact that many pokemon could be above the fodder line is quite telling.

Delita, no.

I could honestly see TG Cid doing better than Ramza though. He's pretty famous for being an overpowered, broken cheat character

I'd rather see Wiegraf in before Delita. Sadly, Ramza's still the best representative of Tactics.

voted Ramza btw.

An easy match across the board. Everyone in the Top 208 gets the match right. -4s (35 points), -5s (34 points) and -6s (33 points) were each 1 bracket away from a 100% prediction percentage. It isn't until the -14s (25 points) that the prediction percentage falls below 90.

No one fell off the Top 49.

Man I feel like a random pokemon could win a good number of Round 1 matches in this bracket.


It seems like Gamefaqs is just brainwashed to vote for whatever pokemon they see. Kinda sad really


Jigglypuff and Lucario are far weaker than the likes of Charizard, Pikachu, and Mewtwo. Pokemon has about as much variance as anything else.

Don't get me wrong, I voted Ramza and FFT is my favourite game of all time. I just didn't think Ramza was the most likeable or standout character amongst the fanbase. He wasn't unlikeable but I dunno, sometimes I feel people like him more for buttpants than his actual character.

Squirtle has more votes at the 10 minute mark than Lugia had at the 13th, and the poll has almost the same votes that one did three minutes later, for what it's worth.

You guys are looking at the percents wrong. Squirtle finishing at 60% is meaningless; it's a 3-way poll. To accurately gauge his chances, you look at him vs. Ramza. Denton shouldn't even be in the equation.
