Parasite Eve's intro theme "primal eyes" sounds like it's setting the tone for a game all about hopeless confusion, and I love it. It also quite perfectly describes what happened here. I'm honestly quite interested in Parasite Eve - who's the board's biggest fan of the game? Transcience?
Oh yeah, the match itself. Well...CONFUSION rained as for the second match in a row, a character who seemed to be little more than a "hot chick" was killing the heck out of a far more mainstream character. But...come on, Terry Bogard hails from a fighting game franchise by some developer named SNK, while Aya Brea hails from a PlayStation series of Horror Survival/JRPG hybrids from none other than Squaresoft during the apex of its popularity. And Terry was supposed to win this? To me, Aya seems FAR more like a character someone could care for a whole lot. Quite frankly I'm surprised Aya didn't do better here, but I guess we could blame that on Parasite Eve not being very popular on GameFAQs. It's definitely more popular than Fatal Fury though, that's for sure. Then again I am a sucker for powerful female VG characters, and Aya Brea definitely seems to fit that mold.
Heck, Aya was even the bracket favorite! So I guess she was supposed to win after all, huh? At this point, the only thing I have a hard time believing is that, once again, Terry would show up in a future contest while Aya wouldn't. COME ON NOMINATORS!!! I know The 3rd Birthday wasn't exactly a smash hit or anything, but I'd like to see Aya back in action now that it's out and the franchise is somewhat relevant again.
