Master Moltar 10/19/18 9:12:16 AM #103:	Round 1 Vivi vs. Yu Narukami Moltars Analysis Very unfortunate placement for the Persona 4 protag here. I dont think hes super weak, but Vivi is just on another level. Vivi has always looked really solid, but in the last Character Battle he took it to that next level by beating Mario (with Ganondorf in the same poll). Itll be interesting to see if Vivi has returned to his normal strength, but unless he absolutely crushes or flops, we wont know for sure until the later rounds. Moltars Bracket: Vivi Moltars Prediction: Vivi 66% transiences Analysis Vivi's kind of a fraud, yeah? Leon likes to talk about how Mewtwo is fraudulent but Vivi's exactly that - a weird and random rally and then a bandwagon effect once people saw he could do the impossible. Vivi's a defining midcarder, the guy who can get 57% on DK or Master Chief and 43% on Kirby or Zelda. He's not better than Squall. I did see some people talking about how Joker is likely better than Yu, and I don't agree - I think P4 was a defining game for a lot of people whereas P5 is iterative. Joker's got a better design but I'd back Yu since his game's a lot more iconic. I think Yu's probably good enough to beat a quarter of the guys in this JV bracket. I wish he had a better path. I'll have more to say about Vivi next round, but suffice to say he's not losing to a Persona character. transience's prediction: Vivi with 69.78% Leonharts Analysis Why doesnt Allen ever put Vivis last name in the polls? I guess theres some debate over whether it should be Ornitier or Orunitia, but its been the former in most stuff, so roll with that, I say. Oh right, theres a match. Even if Vivi isnt as strong as he showed in CBIX, he shouldnt have any trouble beating a character who lost to Shadow the Hedgehog. I kinda wish Narukami had gotten a better draw because I think he couldve won a match with the right setup, but this isnt it. Leonharts Vote: Yu Narukami Leonharts Prediction: Vivi Ornitier with 68.60% Kleenexs Analysis Im pretty surprised Yu even got in at this point. Especially since Persona 5 is the far new game, Im not sure whos still nominating this goober, but here we are. Vivi is the actual interesting part of this match though. Hes coming in hot after beating goddamn Mario in the last contest. Yes, this was 5 years ago, and yes, 2013 was kind of a mess, but thats still nothing to sneeze at. Vivi has always been solid if not spectacular in previous showings, so I wonder if he can build on his success, or if 2013 was just a big fluke. This is a winnable division for Vivi if hes truly arrived at elite status, and Yu should provide a decent bunching bad to gauge his strength before he meets some of the bigger threats. Kleenexs Prediction: Vivi with 71% Guests Analysis - garetha200 Shouldn't be close at all, nice chill match for everyone to vote in and immediately ignore. Vivi is coming off an amazing 2013 contest, albeit not 100% off his base strength, so hopefully we'll get a better read on him this year. This match won't provide that though, as Vivi really is one of the best possible characters to beat up on Yu. As much as Persona 4 is a beloved GameFAQs fanboy type game, FF9 can rival it, as was evidenced by its If It Were Up to Board 8 victory, so he should crush Yu with ease on both the casual and hardcore groups. I really think we could see a tripling here, which would mean only good things for Vivi's chances against Leon in round 3. Really don't have much to write here, I just signed up for this because I really like FF9, FF9 second best FF behind FFX change my mind Vivi gonna drop a DOOMSDAY on Yu with 75% of the vote Crew Consensus: Vivi casts Winaga --- Moltar Status: contest hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ <cite>Master Moltar posted [p:910791181] in Character ...
