I say Sabin! (ffVI)
He'd Blitz the hell outta Crono...
Just picture his dumbfounded face while Sabin goes all Bum Rush on his ass :twisted:

I'd have to agree with the above post. For me it's gotta be someone out of FFVI, my second-favourite RPG after CT. Probably Sabin or Shadow.

Dude, it's gotta be Chuck Norris. He is like the only person in the univers with such godlike powers as Crono.

LOL... for some reason, I always confuse Chuck Norris' action films with Michael Dudikoff's these days. I immediately think of his cameo in Dodgeball, but as for his hilariously-awesome 80s stuff, I keep getting the Delta Force series mixed up with American Ninja.

Wow, surprised this is alive again.

As for Sabin. I did my research, and... c'mon. No way! It takes a large number of FF6 guys to beat Kefka! Kefka to Lavos, Kefka's tougher, but not by a whole lot(Kefka's in the air). By the way, just to state since he was brought up earlier, I DO NOT include the towers beneath him. When I say Kefka, I mean kefka. Not Kefka and friends.
Back to the point.
Those guys barely beat beat Kefka. Kefka about 10% tougher than Lavos. Crono outright owned Lavos. ON HIS OWN.

Just from the stats of their opponents, I think it's safe to say, Sabin couldn't top Crono. Terra's tougher than that guy and she'd get creamed by Crono. Step one for proving a match with Crono - you don't get 100% obliterated instantly by the Luminaire. The character has to be able to survive.
Luminaire's tougher than Kefka(ALONE), what chance does your Sabin have now?

Chuck Norris argument, legit :lol:. Can u impr0v3 !t?

Well, if Sabin (actually, anyone) had any holy-absorbing equipment (or that offers immunity), Luminaire as a threat is over (if such things are allowed in this, of course).

But, you still need something against his physical attacks.

Well, we've sort of said that there shouldn't be any situational equipment going on (meaning no one has just the right equip they need to counter Crono)...unless maybe that's part of their character (like how Batman or Dr. Doom would both be retroactively prepared)...

But yeah, I could go with Sabin. Bum Rush/Illusion Battle Dance (was Woosley trying to make him sound gay?) is a very good attack that puts Sabin up there with Crono's Confuse...And with the Espers, Sabin has the ability to learn all Magics, increase his stats dramatically, and have 1 summon handy. That's pretty impressive.

Chuck Norris has already been gone over, I believe...Bruce Lee killed him in Enter the Dragon. 'nuff said.

Hmm... I'd vote Utena Tenjou. She'd rip the rose off his chest faster than you can say 'zettai unmei mokushiroku'. What with the prince's sword and all...

If not Utena, then maybe people doing Carameldansen. Because they would drive Crono completely nuts and he'd kill himself to get the funky techno beat out of his head.

Jesus could beat him.  He didn't even need a Time Egg to revive.
No, he still needed it. Check the retranslation.  :lol:

My vote's on Link, just cause that's a fight I'd like to see. Cue CT battle music, Holy arrow hits Crono in eye, Link does spin-sword attack into view, is frozen by Marle, uses lantern to get out of ice, is decimated by Luminaire. Crono uses Enertron, eye heals kinda.

But Link had a fairy, and stabs Crono in other eye with triforce while Crono's in the Enertron.

Badabing.

I like the Crono v. Link battle.  It could go on for a loooong time....

I voted for Chuck Norris back when I voted.  I am pleased to see that others finally feel the same way about it.  Maybe Ron Burgundy could do it, with the help of his News Team, of course.

Crono v. Ron Burgundy
Marle v. Veronica Corningstone
Robo v. Champ Kind
Magus v. Brian Fantana
Lucca v. Brick Tamlan
Frog v. Baxter

Jesus would lose...he's a pacifist! Heck, he'd probably choose to die against Crono so that he wouldn't have to lift his sword...he'd probably make it into a big thing about him & his dad in the end though...geeze...us...

You think he'd even bring a sword?

As for you saying Chuck before, now Link are you saying Shee? I could(and I should)make it possible to change your vote. In fact... whether that's what your saying or not, I'm doing just that.
But um, this is a one on one fight. For awhile there was ideas of other teams going at it with the Chrono team, but if we want that, there was an older topic that transformed from one thing to just that. Can't remember what it was, I'd know it if I saw it but I'm not going through the files right now.

Point is, you wanna change your vote? Go ahead. Oh, and for the hell of it, I'll see if I can't add some of the really REALLY good options we've mentioned as well(namely Samus whom everyone agreed upon within the first 3 pages).

I added options, but I don't know how to make it possible to change one's vote if they wish... Sorry! :(

I meant so Crono wouldn't have to lift his sword.

You should have just completely reset the poll, I think...But part of that is me not agreeing with all of the stupid popularity-over-practicality Link & Clod votes (I'm also betting some people made multiples to bump vote counts...I mean, I'm fairly sure this is the most votes of almost any poll ever at the Compendium)...and why pre-Magic god Kefka? That doesn't really make sense...I also just don't like the little comments made in the poll itself...lol

I only changed it so that you can change your vote though...
