yoblazer that is disappointing


It's one thing if he gets it right legitimately, but to get it right like this and try to hamster-rationalize that he got it because of his expert predicting skills is just deplorable.

This is just the board vote, right? Phoenix isn't really going to manage second place here?


He's slowed down. Whether Vincent will actually start cutting any time soon remains to be seen.

Yeah and Barret getting nearly doubled by Sonic was in line with pre contest expectations too.

Also Solid Sprite still wins his matches.

RIP FF7.


So when Cloud and Seph and Tifa look fine (as Aeris already has), what do I get from you?

And Sprite Snake has only won his matches because he's been fed cupcakes (yes, Bowser's a cupcake, that's why he's bombed like crazy every single year since 2005 because people can't let it go). If Snake had to go up against someone like Sonic in the sprite round he'd lose every time.

I have to agree here. If Vincent is looking this bad against Mewtwo, surely Squall who is roughly equal to Vincent and gets heavily anti-voted would likely find himself in a big hole at the start of the match.

Aeris didn't really look fine, though. She looked weak as hell against Hero/Rinoa and then jobbed to Shep. I mean I am not claiming that they have fallen off a cliff, I claimed they lost a step. Aeris has... lost a step. Clearly. She needed to lose a step to lose to Shep there. Tifa is going to be very hard not to look fine when she is facing dragonborn and going to sff yuna, and seph will look bad yeah.

Cloud I have already stated I think will hold up pretty well though.

Shep should have creamed Aeris, she's already lost a step before this contest. Zelda made her look as weak as Yuna. The fact that she went 51-49 and made a damn good argument for her winning a night match speaks volumes FOR FF7, not against.

Nah, not really. Shep "should have creamed" is only fanboy mass effect talk. Real talk: Shep has never been that impressive and the only time he has even given the faint idea of being strong is when he went through a Pikachu who was overhyped due to, oh hi solid sprite.

Vincent probably loses to Mewtwo in a normal match based on this, and I'd call Mewtwo a 1 v 1 favorite at this point, but I would not be at all surprised if he won easily if the pics were normal.

Real talk - you're hilariously wrong. There's a reason why Shep was the Guru Favorite. People didn't put stock into the stupid Pikachu match, people put stock into ME1+2+3 and it being the premiere current gen series for GameFAQs.

Vincent's a really shallow character so I think it's expected that he should drop off the most of any FFVII character as the game gets further from our memories. I'm not endorsing that asinine Smurf "badasses are going to drop" theory as much as just applying this to the more minor characters in the game. I don't think Seph or Cloud are going to fall off a cliff. Heck I doubt Aeris fell that much either, because she's memorable.

I mean this is part pic too but even with a legit pic I think Mewtwo's winning this. This is just too big a gap to be all pic.

Yeah because we know being the guru favorite clearly always the right idea. Also I am a guru who had shep, and while I switched to aerith to jumpstart my poor expert (rip picking 2nd and 3rd too much in round 1) I picked shep because of aeris weakening, not shep boosting originally. You literally have not a single ounce of evidence to say I am wrong. You just like to hear yourself talk. Seriously, it is all you do. Act like you are smart. You aren't very good at it though so you should probably stop.

Someone said this before, but I'm pretty sure Vincent is so completely unrecognizable not even the Final Fantasy VII fans are aware this is their Vincent. Unfortunately for him, his name is kind of generic, and when seeing that thing, there's a pretty high chance they think it's a different character altogether. He looks like he belongs in some romance visual novel!

I'd say this pic disadvantage is much bigger than anything Samus or Solid Snake could ever get. At least you read Solid Snake and Samus and you know exactly who they are, no room for confusion. Not so much with Vincent here.

Vincent would probably still lose to Mewtwo the things are looking, but it'd be a MUCH closer battle.

If you're resorting to ad hominem, my inclination is that your argument is the compromised one. It is not that difficult to beat Aeris. Even using the worst estimates of Pikachu's strength Shepard should have been easily favored after an expected ME2/3 boost, and the fact that Aeris made it so close flies in the face of your arguments.
