Samus vs Vincent is going to be a great match (yes, he'll get there, unless Kerrigan is very extremely weak)


Crono still has to be the clear favorite. (and while I expect Samus to beat him, you can't dismiss Mario either)


How the hell can Ramza, of all people, be above any and all old-FF characters, strength-wise. That just sounds...wrong.

Final Fantasy Tactics is huge at this site. People brought this up back in the Game contest.

Cecil's weakness certainly surprised me, and Terra's did a little bit too. But it would seem that outside of Chrono Trigger, the old school characters just aren't appreciated here. I have a feeling that perhaps a lot of that has to do with not having their easily recognized sprite pictures...but, that's just speculation. I just think that a lot of their appeal comes from nostalgia, which isn't going to be captured on a name recognition basis by foreign looking pictures.

But I recall hearing that Ramza was the high point for Cecil, and I agreed with that at the time. And I never thought Terra would be that high. So Ramza being stronger than them isn't surprising; but I agree that the magnitude of the difference is surprising (especially for Cecil).
