I did this a long time ago with Final Fantasy VI, although I can't remember who the people's choice was... but that's beside the point!

For those who don't know, a Royal Rumble in "professional wrestling" terms (or at least in my terms) means throwing gobs of wrestlers into one ring and staging a match until only one person is left standing. So since I finally finished playing Final Fantasy VIII a while back, I thought I'd set up a similar situation with all of the main characters (no really bad guys allowed, but Seifer and them qualify because I know I'd get my head bitten off if they weren't there) and see what people thought of that kind of matchup.

Basically, take each hero and antagonist and throw 'em into an arena with their best weapon. Since magic is so bizarre in this game, we'll throw that out the window. Anyway, they'll hypothetically beat the living daylights out of each other until, as mentioned before, one person remains standing as the champeen. Hope that's not too convoluted to understand.

So, yeah, who do you think would emerge victorious from this kind of epic fight?

Machinegun+grenades vs swords, fists etc... I think it would be Laguna.

I think Laguna would just mow 'em all down within seconds.

Not with powerful characters and GF's, I'd have to go with Rinoa...Angel Wing! :cool:

In theory Selphie would win with The End, but since that takes so long to find I would say Squall. Not much that can defend against a full-on Lionheart....

I voted for Squall. Like Darkness said not much -if anything- could defend against a full on Lionheart.

Zell, easily. The guy has been built up and trained like a pro wrestler. Plus, if this was a real Royal Rumble, I'm really doubting that you would be allowed to use the lethal weapons that the others have:)

Trowa: Ward... he already looks like a professional wrestler... *Sits and stares and sits and stares*

Rubedo: He gets our vote, for sure!

I like how even Irvine voted against Irvine. Awesome.

It's interesting how a lot of you have presented some intriguing arguments for whoever you voted for. That's a good thing. At least it's not an easy choice to make, for the most part.

Squall. I do 9999 with each hit at only level 20. Then, add in death, silence, blind, poison, invulnerability to all of those, and Lionheart. Simply put, they're screwed if they face my version.

I know, I'm being an ass but Lion Heart is two words.

i guess Selphie The End will end anything.

Hm, good point, but while she's trying frantically to redo her slots until The End appears, Ward will toss her skinny butt.
