Renegade Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 Guybrush Threepwood is losing to Bowser...this is just depressing.
Boner Kawanger Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 No...the GameFAQs Forums...now that's depressing. As is caring about this stupid popularity contest. Just keep telling yourlself "It's only the geeks!".
DrVenkman PhD Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 Excuse my ignorance but who the hell is Guybrush Threepwood?
Lightning Flik Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 Fuck. Blight lost to Magus. GOD DAMMIT.
KingPK Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 The main character of LucasArts' Monkey Island series. I like the site, and the guy who runs it seems like a good guy, but man, those forums....
DrVenkman PhD Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 Ok. In the brief time I spent playing that game on someone else's computer in the 90s, I didn't catch the guy's name. Thanks. On a happier note, my entry is perfect so far! hooray!
AndrewTS Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 Well, if it were Spike TV or something, Football Guy would go undefeated throughout the entire tournament. Didnt Gamefaqs just have a Character Battle in spring or something?
DrVenkman PhD Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Drew: The character battle is a Summer event, and this is year three. Spring 2004 debuted the GameFAQs Best Game Ever battle, which is 100% different!
Scroby Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Conker lost in the first round. Screw PS2 and hateful Nintendo fanboys. Conker should have advnaced!
Special K Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 You mean Luca Blight? 'Cause he's probably the best game villain ever. Certainly the most vicious. Of course, the fact that Suikoden II is so rare it fetches$80+ may be a factor, when everyone has played ct. I still get shivers when I see that cinema which shows Blight atop a hill of bodies, zoom in: craziest elated death face of doom ever!
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Yep. It was Luca Blight who went down to Magus. I believe he did in Flik's poll too.
Lightning Flik Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Yeah... But at least it was the Final Battle, which I could at least tolerate since it was the Final Battle, and not the freaking first fucking round.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 At least he didn't lose to say, Sephiroth.
Lightning Flik Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) In TSM's, Blight BEAT Sephiroth. ...I think I don't have the records now. Edited August 9, 2004 by Lightning Flik
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 In TSM's, Blight BEAT Sephiroth. ...I think I don't have the records now. I was pissed enough that Kefka lost to Sephiroth. Now, Kefka/Luca, that would be an interesting battle. As entertaining as Luca Blight is though, his brother-in-law is the better character.
The Czech Republic Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 I'm out of my element here. All I know is Kefka walks all over Sephiroth, easily. That silver-haired little prick is the most overrated video game character ever. I don't get the obsession.
Special K Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 He (Sephiroth) was broody and crazy and looked cool; had a cool sword too. He's not a bad character per se, but he is wildly overrated. He also had last boss music that may be the best song in a game to date. Also, SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS As if anyone didn't know, he killed a major character in pretty dramatic fashion. Though she's overrated too. Agreed Jowy is a tremendous character, but Luca is the shit in terms of pure villainy. Kefka and Galleon are the only other villains I'd put up on the pedestal with him.
Star Ocean 3 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 Kefka wasn't really developed as a villain at all...he's just some evil lunatic. Sephiroth has some interesting and original aspects to him.
Special K Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 Kefka may be a little 2-dimentional, but damn if he doensn;t go all the way with craziness and love for killing. Sephiroth is one of the first characters who went straight from angsty to straight nihilistic villainy, which was refreshing at the time. Often if a villain has their villainy explained, it goes so far into 'poor guy' that you become ambivalent. Sephiroth is sorta like the Joker in that he was an ok guy, had a bad day, and was too weak to handle it. He's a good foil for Cloud, since he has extraordinary physical powers, and limited moral strength, while Cloud is a fairly ordinary guy with pretty extraordinary will (if you think about it.). BTW, Kuja was the biggest attempt of a company to duplicate previous success with a character ever. He was EXACTLY Sephiroth, except for more effeminate.
chaosrage Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 In TSM's, Blight BEAT Sephiroth. ...I think I don't have the records now. I was pissed enough that Kefka lost to Sephiroth. Now, Kefka/Luca, that would be an interesting battle. As entertaining as Luca Blight is though, his brother-in-law is the better character. How would you feel if Kefka got his ass kicked by Knuckles the Echidna? Check gamefaqs.
Lightning Flik Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 WTF?! KEFKA GOT HIS ASS KICKED IN BY KNUCKLES?! WTF!? GOD DAMN I HATE GAMEFAQS!
Renegade Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Posted August 15, 2004 Actually this is quite amazing considering the boards are riddled with them sqaure folk, must be mating season or something.
AndrewTS Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 Actually this is quite amazing considering the boards are riddled with them sqaure folk, must be mating season or something. Yeah, nothing worthwhile to contribute... Kefka being beat is just a reassertion of the fact that Final Fantasy didn't actually get *good* until Final Fantasy VII, you fool.
DrVenkman PhD Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 Ok, so, what the hell? Last year I didn't realize Kefka had a cult following and totally counted him out of the bracket, thus lost several points for each round he actually advanced. I correct that mistake this year, so what happens? He LOSES. God. Damn. Funny thing is, according to the Contest Statistics, a total of 0% correctly predicted that bracket. Edit: Since been changed to 43%
Guest Kageho Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 I find that amazingly humorous. Kefka loses, yet everyone predicts him to win.
