Board 8 > Congratulations Velvet

(+) Yeah! (+)

First win for a Tales character since Lloyd beat Wesker in 2005.
---

Just wonder if Estelle will end up being the first Trails character to win...well, anything.

Probably not.

But now was as good a time as any for Sunderland to...eat Crowe.
---

Shame it had to be at the expense of a great character like James, but a win is a win.
---

Well excellent survival horrors that would be featured in top 100 of all time lists just aren't as popular as anime game of the year so what can ya do

Idk, with the treatment that GameFAQs gives Vesperia, he might actually cut down a good swathe of enemies before going down himself.

Hell, he does so well with the fanbase in general that Japan literally had to ban him from character polls.

Velvet isnt bad but I feel bad for james

Poor Yuri lol.

Though admittedly, the FF and Fighter fanbases are pretty strong overall. JRPG not so much, given all the 'weeb game' insults thrown around lol.

Doubt she's going to survive her first match.

It's a damn shame, too.
---

Isaac as it stands is a little stronger than Lloyd, so for Estelle to win you have to believe she's quite a bit stronger than Lloyd, and given that Trails is even more niche than Tales I very much doubt that's the case.
---

While it sucks that Yuri couldn't have a win under his belt as well, Velvet's a pretty rad character herself, so she's is pretty deserving of this win.

Be honest, you don't know who James is either

I'm not upset or anything (my bracket is already busted), but I'm surprised she's done so well. I didn't expect any of the Tales characters to get that kind of traction.

James is probably just that weak. I mean, Pyramid Head got in multiple times before he did, and it took a concentrated rally to make it happen. His pic probably doesn't help, but TBH a quick Google search tells me there aren't too many decent pics of James.
