Face it, Sesshiroth is just another lame-ass bishonen with an overcompensating sword.

C wut I did thar? :monster: Seriously, I could write an essay on how bad of a villain he is.

Anyway, back on topic, videos still aren't up yet. They should give us a two-fer and give us Zidane and Kuja too, we've heard Squall and Ultimecia already.

Except Kefka isn't a rip-off of the Joker, despite what people think. They made that connection on their own, but simple logic (Kefka originated from a Japanese video game, the Joker from American comics) will show that he isn't. Sephiroth, on the other hand, is just another anime villain.

People only make the association since his Dissidia redesign, that makes him look a lot more like the joker than past designs.

He still doesn't look as deranged and warped, but I preferred his old more deceptive appearance from his Psone appearance. There's a lot of similarities between the characters, but there's enough of a difference between the two to not call Kefka a rip off. Even though the Joker came along long before Kefka, I doubt SE was looking to American comics for inspiration.

Yeah, I'm really digging Ultimecia's voice. Very nice.

Squall's is no surprise. It's good enough. Ultimecia looks really fun to play as.

GameSpot's exhibition match this week is fail - Cloud vs Sephiroth. As if we didn't see enough of these guys last week, and in the demo. No, they have to give us more of them. This isn't a Sesshiroth-hater thing, really, between the exhibitions last week and the demo, we've seen these guys already, give us some characters we haven't.

And Cloud's intro to Sesshiroth, ew, lame. I never thought I'd say this, but in this one case, Sesshiroth is cooler than Cloud.

AHAHAHHAHA

Oh God, that's great. Cloud sounds like he's going to calmly, but assertively ask Sephiroth to consider paying him back the 20 dollars he loaned to him to cover his share of the apartment's cable bill and take out the trash he's let piled up.

What the fuck?

Who translated that line and told Burton to talk like that? I want to punch them in the mouth.

Cloud's lines sound generally great too. It's just THAT one. What the fuck?

"I've got some things....to settle with you."

Not..."Let's settle this." or..."This ends now." Or maybe..."Let's settle this once and for all." But...that. That's just piss poor localization and word choice there.

And whoever was playing Cloud either was trying to draw the fight out by purposefully playing like they had no clue what they were doing, or..they just had no clue what they were doing. That was just nuts. And why was "Clash on the Big Bridge" the song for that fight?

Just...that fight made no sense. I will say that I am glad they kept Cloud's quote for when he goes into his EX Mode the same in his AC outfit. "The power of Mako!" Damn straight..Cloud's a fucking mako reactor.

And it definitely looks like Cloud's Meteorain is faster. And that he seems a bit faster two in regards to his attacks. Anyone else notice that?

... And the train one :monster:

It's not so much he said it badly. It's that it's just entirely wrong, so I don't blame Burton. :monster:

This line has him sounding like he's trying to muster the balls to confront Sephiroth and calmly and rationally tell him what he's doing is wrong and that he'd appreciate it if he stopped his harassment.

Cloud sounds the same as he did in AC to me. Like a stoner.

Steve Burton can do better and has. So I have no idea how he slipped up here. Oh well, guess he's not quite the perfect Cloud like Sakurai yet. :monster:

Props to Newburn's delivery of the "ignorant traitor" line though. That was perfect. At least Sephiroth sounds like he's itching to kill here.

No. It's when you EX Mode as Cloud in his AC outfit. It says in a dialogue box "The Power of Mako!"

Yeah, they just couldn't DARE actually give Cloud's AC sword a name. So they decided to be smart asses and say that instead :monster:

I know, would it be so wrong? They could call it "Giant Steel Dildo Sword of Doom Mk-II", and I'd accept it so long as it was named.

However, you know what I suspect?

People will think MAKO is the name of the sword.
