FF Character Tournament Madness! Winner revealed!

[eestlinc]

I should have helped with the seeding. I'd say each of these four matchups is pretty even. Celes and Shadow are both decent, Locke and Cecil are both very powerful, Terra and Edgar are about equally great, and same with Rydia and Kain.

Here are the results of Round 2 of the Glory Days Division:

1 Celes (VI) - ||||\||||\||||\|||| 19
9 Shadow (VI) - ||||\||||\||||\| 16

5 Locke (VI) - ||||\||||\||||\||||\ 20
4 Cecil (IV) - ||||\||||\||||\|| 17

6 Edgar (VI) - ||||\||||\|||| 14
3 Terra (VI) - ||||\||||\||||\||| 18

7 Kain (IV) - ||||\||||\||||\|| 17
2 Rydia (IV) - ||||\||||\||||\|||| 19

So Celes, Locke, Terra, and Rydia will advance to the Sweet 16! On to a new division, the Old School Division, where this great series got its start. Even if most of the characters weren't much for personality development, they were still useful nonetheless. Round 1:

1 Ninja (I) vs.
16 Josef (II)

8 Onion Kid (III) vs.
9 Ninja (III)

5 Black Wizard (I) vs.
12 White Wizard (I)

4 Knight (I) vs.
13 Phoebe (MQ)

6 Gus (II) vs.
11 Sage (III)

3 Summoner (III) vs.
14 Red Wizard (I)

7 Maria (II) vs.
10 Lionhart (II)

2 Frionel (II) vs.
15 Gordon (II)

Some good matchups already. White Wizard/Black Wizard and a sibling rivalry with Maria/Lionhart.

The thread was posted before the poll was. It takes a long time to make these polls! Anyway, please vote in the poll.

Vote for one character in each lettered pair, as always.

[Martyr]

Oh, I'm ridiculous. FOr some reason, I never saw any of the preceeding posts or the poll or anything.

But I've done the poll now.

Shame that I couldn't vote on Gus and the Sage at the same time.

[Del Murder]

For some reason new threads get posted without the poll while the user writes the poll. It's dumb.

[Llanowar]

Just goes to show you how absolutely PATHETIC MQ is in the eyes of most FF players. Only one was put in the poll and that one has recieved ZERO votes LOL how could they put the Final Fantasy name on that game? The one disgrace to the FF series that I have ever played. I don't love FF:CC, but at least it isn't a disgrace like MQ was.

[Masamune·1600]

And I voted thus:

Ninja (FFI). Josef's not really all that impressive. I'll take the Sasuke-wielding Ninja.

Ninja (FFIII). Probably the most powerful character in the old-school division. Ragnarok in one hand, Masamune in the other. Need I say more? I will. Also has a very powerful version of Throw.

Black Wizard (FFI). Tough call. But I'll go with the offensive magic.

Knight (FFI). The original sword-guy.

Sage (FFIII). The ultimate magical powerhouse. Has all summons and all magic.

Summoner (FFIII). Tough call. I would have taken the DoS Red Wizard, thanks to Lightbringer, but that doesn't strike me as very old-school. The real RW falls short.

Lionheart (FFII). The only battle where I actually had to look beyond battle utility. Lionheart's just, well, cooler than Maria. By a lot.

Frionel (FFII). My Frionel is powered up excessively. Gordon is....the FFII equivalent of Edward/Gilbert (ouch). This qualifies as a rout.


For obvious reasons, with the old-school games, character development isn't a high priority.

Er, don't you mean Old School?

Anyway, this division was kind of hard to choose from, if only because I've never actually played any of these Final Fantasies before. I might be better off abstaining from this one.

[TurkSlayer]

I haven't played FFIII or MQ, but I've played the others. Err... I forgot what I voted for...

And as for Shadow losing, CURSE YOU CELES SUPPORTERS!!!! j/k I like Celes too, but Shadow was better.

[ShivaBlizzard8]

I can't believe Summoner is losing. The first summoner! Let's go, people!

[Ultima Shadow]

*gasp* I... I can't belive Shadow lost... Farwell, cruel world. *comites sucide*

Oh, wait... Rydia haven't lost yet. Go Rydia, go! Go Rydia, go! Go Rydia, go! Go Rydia, go! Go Rydia, go!

Ninja, Ninja, Black Wizard, Knight, Sage, Summoner, Maria, Frionel.

[Del Murder]

Er, don't you mean Old School?

I certainly did. Thanks.

Still some close battles here! Round 2 will come tomorrow.

No Sabin? No Way!
