Someone get Sakurai to rally for Kirby.


I'd like just one match without a rally. That would be nice.

Somehow Sephiroth looks better to me here than he did in his previous 2 matches about this time in.

Why are people forgetting that Seph was the third strongest character on the site for a half decade? Even if he has fallen, he'll still put up some beastly numbers.


Probably the second strongest in 2k2/2k3. He lost to Cloud in 2k3, but SFF is a likely factor. Indirectly he was probably stronger(i could be wrong).

Sephiroth has never been stronger than Cloud, ever. That's just not how the FF7 fanbase works.

Also assuming Sephiroth comes back and wins this, it'll be one of the bigger surprises I've seen this contest.

Which is saying something considering he's the overwhelming bracket favorite!


I've yet to see anything in this contest that told me that Kirby would be able to make up the 63/37 difference from the 2010 xstats. FF7 looking a little weaker than the last contest isn't the same as dropping out of the elite tier.

Looks like my upset pick of Seph on top paid off! I knew it didn't seem right to doubt him against two characters that are, with all due respect, not good enough to do this. Now I just need to land a couple more crazy predictions right and I'll be making some fine headway!

If there was a contest 1998-2001, I guarantee he'd have beaten Cloud. FFVII fans only began to like Cloud more as we became teenagers and the badass villain factor diminished while the angst became more appealing,

Yeah, my expert bracket is in a shape that requires me to go against the grain. Hopefully this will be pay off.

I don't really know who I'm rooting for here. I like Kirby the most and due to Draven who really cares about the main bracket (I apparently semi-Palmered my expert and made it a karma bracket?), but I don't know if I can take any more NN defeats!

Though next round, Sephiroth will have to deal with a supercharged and bandwagoned Mewtwo, so he'll probably finish in 3rd place next round. It's going to be hard rallying for Sephiroth outside of any Final Fantasy communities, so it makes sense for Mewtwo to get most of the anti-Draven votes that backfired from a Draven rally.

Sephiroth has never been stronger than Cloud, ever. That's just not how the FF7 fanbase works.

Despite the wonkiness of the Mario/Cloud match, I firmly believe Seph was stronger than Cloud in 2K2.

Remember that Cloud had *faaar* more reason to boost from Kingdom Hearts than Seph. Seph was just an optional boss fight. Cloud was a legit character.

And even despite having much better reasons to boost, he still barely edged out Seph in 2K3.

No he wasn't. X-stat projections predict Seph/Cloud almost perfectly. Just like they predicted Cloud/Link almost perfectly.

It would be the ultimate signature of Sephiroth's unpredictable nature if this was the one match where he decided not to rise like crazy all match. Let's see if it happens!

Indeed. Seph was the most popular FF7 character within the fanbase until KH.

Big Boss is doing fine to me. Occasional stalls on Sephiroth are nothing to joke at, even if it's a Sephiroth currently 100 votes behind Bandwagon Kirby.

Plus his crappy sprite showing up to some voters, while I'm (probably) overstating the effect, is definitely hurting him a touch.

Even if you say that hurts him by, like, 10 x-stat points, with 8 pics it means it's hurting him like what - half a percent here?

...but yeah you probably knew that.

Yeah Big Boss isn't anything but maybe a half percent, a percent if you wanted to be extremely generous. He's not close enough to either character for that to be a factor.

But those stalls he's put on them would have been legitimate cuts if you take that picture out, oh yes...!

Is it possible to just make that the default? I'm guess it's probably the sorting option that's used the most.
