Right, then.  Checking a FAQ because I didn't do the Abyss, I'd just like to point out that apparently Ragu's attack in WA3 was One Hundred Billion Degrees, which is less than One Trillion Degrees by a full order of magnitude.  So not his best showing at all.  (Edit: And Ragu wasn't it anyway.  Huh, I don't remember Boomerang having that attack; go figure.)

Actually serious proposal I was thinking about anyway, and happens to be appropriate: Would there be any interest in a "Guess the Obscure RPG character?"  I'm thinking something along the lines of the "Guess the quote" quizzes ran awhile back.  There would be 10-15 sets of 3-5 clues, and people would (privately) send in their guess for each set, with most of the characters being from lesser played games like Growlanser Generations, Vanguard Bandits, Dragon Quest V, new stuff like Lost Odyssey, and so on.

See, the annoyance of characters from obscure RPGs is when effort is put into figuring out who someone is only to find out that they were from a game that only 15% of the guessers played.  If there are a whole bunch of "guess the character" questions at once, and you only expect to know a few of them, it'd reduce the annoyance considerably ("This doesn't ring a bell at all; next set.").  I already have a few good cluesets written for this...  any thoughts/suggestions?  (If you've got a good clueset for a character from an obscure game, PM it to me or tell me over IRC, assuming there's any interest, of course.)

At last, what takes you guys so long?

1. I am very powerful, perhaps broken?
He is a optional super boss, duh?

2. Though my power rarely shows, well relatively speaking anyway.
Being optional boss, you don't necessraily see him.

3. I defies gravity.
7th Moon battle animation in WA3

4. Speaking of my broken power, I have declined from my peak.
He never gets as strong as he did in WA2

5. I am acquainted with Coliseum, and in one occasion I had my second worst experience.
You find him in coliseum in ACF and WA4. And RAQUEL SMASH OHKO is pretty bad.

6. 1999 is THE year of my life.
He is Angolmois, of course 1999 is his year. WA2, that has his strongest incarnation is 1999 too.

7. I am not Sailor Moon nor Saix, but I am sure I can do better at what they do.
7th Moon

8. Curse that stupid prophet, that is the worst experience of my life.
Getting used as a underling mid boss by Malik has to be worse than Raquel SAMSH

9. 1 trillion degree? I can do better than that back in 1999!!
Great Disaster, Great Devastation out hots Ragu and only avaliable in WA2 which is 1999.

Anyway, shale, your go.

Ding ding ding.

1. I’m good with kids.
Jeanne trusts him implicitly, and Yoshiko practically adopts him.

2. Despite my poor communication skills.
He can’t talk. To anybody other than wolves, at least.

3. On second thought, maybe that helps.
Given how much of a jerk he is to the other wolves, staying silent probably makes him more likable.

4. Human kids, anyway.
As above, he tends to be a jackass to younger wolves. As well as older wolves.

5. I don’t get along as well with my own species.
The number of wolves you meet and don’t fight is in the low single digits.

Cid has the floor.
