Magus is literally an excuse. Literally. I think Crono can still get the job done, but Magus is the best excuse.

If Link can win this contest Pikachu winning is fine and dandy with me. If the guru cookie were to more or less hold I'd be in great shape!

but he almost certainly can't so I'm fine with Pikachu getting skewered

Though maybe Crono can inspire some faith in me by not losing to goddamn Pikachu


sorry, that's the Link rally test run :P
(or is it Lugia? *cue dramatic music*)


Lugia is useless and should be eliminated this round

But, uh, it would definitely be more than 53%, regardless of what weird stat shifting you wanna do!

Yeah, it's definitely over 53%. I'd probably move that up to at least 55%. I can't focus in on a number really, but this would be Crono's worst loss in that series.

Even good games from Square would help. The Square crew would look a hell of a lot better if the company hadn't pissed all over its fanbase. Nintendo may have released a stinker with the Wii, but Mario, Zelda, Smash, and Pokemon games are still very well received. Square - the entire freakin COMPANY - hasn't given its fanbase one thing worth a damn since 2006. TWO THOUSAND AND SIX.


Been longer than that for me. I haven't been wow'd by an FF game since FFX.

Square has released plenty of good games since then, but Final Fantasy is just gonna be way too divisive these days to ever produce a huge unanimous hit like they used to. Everything is stretched too thin these days, it's why there hasn't been a big blowout game since Brawl. People are split in a bunch of different directions, as far as the games they play and where they play them, to really create a real powerful contest entry.

Magus is an excuse but I'll just be pretty disappointed if Crono can't overcome that.

All I meant by that is that Crono losing because of Magus there is still a loss for Crono in my mind. Even if it's obvious he wins without him.

This is about Crono's legacy!

TWEWY refutes that IIRC, but only if you consider games Square published to be Square.

Yep. I mean, I'm sure if you go through enough comparisons over the years you can get to some stat adjusting point that shows otherwise, but it would be a huge surprise if Mario was held under 55%. I know some people here want to push Mario down as far as they can, but Crono giving Mario a tough fight ain't happening! If he does I guess I'm taking Crono > Snake! Dat CT boost.

I don't know how you pic sabotage Pikachu! I'm just assuming that someone could find a way if they really wanted to.

But we shouldn't be pic sabotaging anybody so ideally it wouldn't even come up but after Vincent I felt it deserved a mention!

If anything I think sabotage attempts have gone up since the Vincent match. It's open season as pretty much anything has a chance of getting through if it nominally conforms to Bacon's standards.

Not unless Tifa somehow gets an even worse pic than Vincent, which will be difficult.

The thing is, for all the joking about pictures, we've seen that they really can influence the contest in weird and unexpected ways. Even something innocuous like ZSS (NOBODY saw Samus/Tifa coming until it was happening before our eyes) might have docked Samus up to ten points. Though that was also potentially revolt against the female bracket. Obviously not every picture is going to be perfectly fair and that's one of the elements of unpredictability about this contest... but at the same time you don't want it to be a total crapshoot or it diminishes interest.
