I still don't get people thinking Jade is a woman. He has never looked like a girl to me.

I've got zero points in the last two matches and I'm still top 15 on the Expert leaderboards

dat hivemind mentality

I did the same and dropped from -5 to -6 for making the leaderboard.

On one hand, apparently it will take a meltdown for me to drop out of that range, but on the other... I'm not sure I'll ever get there!

All this confusion must mean Jade is doing so well because of the anime girl factor.

Yeah honestly Jade just look like a guy with long hair. Yuri looks so feminine that he's made fun of it in his own game, but Jade just has long hair. Nothing else about him really looks like a girl.

Took him long enough, and it took him a piss-weak three pack.

Now he's going to be so embarrassing that he lets his main lead defeat Pikachu with him in the same match. You'd never see Sephiroth letting Cloud do anything of that sort!

Jade has a stereotypical anime pretty boy design.

I don't know how you could confuse him for a girl unless you've never seen an anime design outside of DBZ.

About the only thing that could make CT's implosion more complete is if Crono can't cannibalize his votes somehow and he ends up standing up better to him than he did when they went 1v1.

I have no idea how that would even be remotely possible, but I can see it.

If it was near the end of a contest, I wouldn't be too surprised if Pikachu managed just that. Why can't people acknowledge that weird crap happens now - usually to Pokemon's benefit and Square's detriment, and that certain characters can get hugely bandwagoned and gain in strength as contests roll on (again, Pokemon).

Hey, I like Magus well enough. Doesn't change the fact that he's super weak in these things, but definitely the best CT character outside of maybe Robo.

I meant a relatively weaker character.

If Pikachu beat Cloud and Sephiroth I would die.

I dunno, I'm one of those weird people who loves the contest so much that it affects my opinions of the characters. It took me a few years before I could actively like Solid Snake again. And well, I have MWC/Cena-esque hatred toward Link.

Magus is looking about consistent with his 2010 performance here. I want to say that Chrono Trigger has floored. It's not improving, but it's not getting worse from here either.

Well, you can't really acknowledge that without similarly acknowledging that Pikachu has a very realistic shot at beating Cloud in a 3way with Sephiroth, especially if it's near the end of a contest.

Also if you don't love Frog just a little bit extra because of his contest exploits, you don't have a soul.

I know there are probably some salty MC and Axel pickers out there, but for the majority of us sitting there mashing F5 with Frog's theme blaring from the speakers is a precious memory.
