Squall/Seifer


When has anyone outside of the cadre of loyally devoted FF8 fans ever cared about Seifer? There's no reason to have any pairing from FF8, considering that it has perhaps the weakest cast of the modern FF games.

Of all the fighting game rivalries you could pick, you go with this? I mean really. Is your combining factor here that one is a literal bear and the other is a bear in the gay subcultural context? You can do better.

From: Chrono1219 | #005
Arthas/Illidan


I know there is some sense of rivalry here, but I also feel like you're not supposed to root for either of them, and what good is a rivalry in which either side winning is a bad thing?

Probably outdoes IX, XII, and XIII. Squall would crush any character from any of those games (sans Vivi and Lightning, but he'd still win easily), and after that, it's all a push.

So it's probably in the upper half, in fact!

But Squall being really strong is good enough.

Siegfried/Nightmare.


In the most popular game in the series, they're the same character

From: SuorGenoveffa | #008
Charizard/Blastoise


I like the idea, but it doesn't feel right without Venusaur. Sure, he's not as well-loved as those two, but in two of the three releases of the original Pokemon games, he's on the cart (JP original and LG).

From: BlackMageJawa | #009

Does Redd really develop a rivalry with Nook? I don't remember it at all in the first game, and I don't think recent incarnations have done all that well to warrant this one.

Actually, they're never the same character. Even in 2, it makes it clear that Nightmare is his own entity and is controlling Sieg, since Nightmare is and always has been a manifestation of the sword itself, regardless of the wielder..

I think you owe me a nomination, sir.

It's certainly a viable nomination, but does Akuma spoil the party somehow? Lord knows people love him a lot, perhaps more than is due. I'll give you a maybe.

From: Djungelurban | #023

you do realize that if this pairing makes it, you would technically be rooting for a Medusa Head, right?

I like the idea, but I don't know if you can justifiably say "Angry Bird" as a character. There are several of them.

No offense, but this is supremely boring. Furthermore, I don't know that the casual voterbase would understand the difference.

but how many people voting will know that? the fanbase of the SC series has steadily dropped since 2, I doubt many people know that Siegfried returned.

From: LillySatou | #032
Emiya Shirou/Kotomine Kirei


I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about video games and video game characters. If I've never heard of a character in a pair, or don't remember them, it's a bad sign. If I can't remember or have never heard of either, it's a horrible sign.

this is late-series pokemon, right? get outta town with this junk. the only pokemon who have shown any discernible strength are from the original games, there's no reason to waste a nomination, or even worse, a bracket spot, on something that will fail spectacularly. unless someone can make a rivalry involving tanner.

I hadn't looked at the nomination page. By virtue of that, though, there is no need for me to use a nomination on it!
