Crono vs. Serge

[Kebrel]

Just because any can use elements doesn't mean they will or even effectively. Plus was the elements just the equivalent to magic from the Reptite realm? That would mean they're just as good as the other.

[V_Translanka]

Uh, no...They were created via the "Power Spots" found in El Nido (which would mean, what? they're some byproduct of Chronopolis creating El Nido?)...And yeah, just because they can doesn't mean they would...but in this instance you might as well say they will if you're going to go off of a specific equipment set-up for their battle against one another...

And, also, would Serge still have the Chrono Cross anyways...? I don't think he would...But since this is a ridiculous scenario anyways, maybe you're (MDenham) thinking that it's taking place in that small window when Serge got the Chrono Cross and then used it on the Devourer of Time? I suppose it's debatable what happened afterwords...probably depending on where you stand in regards to the merge or something...

I still say Crono did more and is more skilled (not limited to just what he did, but certainly a majority of it).

Didn't they say that each represented an element of the earth?  The dragonians created them to channel that power JUST LIKE ZEAL. That would mean Elements are the power of the planet and Magic is the power of the person, two sides of the same coin.

[V_Translanka]

I don't remember them saying that...Maybe you could refresh me w/a specific quote? I remember them saying that they each Dragon had corresponding stars and that the White Dragon was represented by the moon (& Harle by the red moon)...But I don't recall them saying that the Dragonian Elements represented elements of the earth...

[Kebrel]

Steena:
   As you may well know, the
   natural world is composed of
   a balance of the 6 Elements.
   These Elements are...
   White, black, red, blue,
   green, and yellow.
   Each one pairs up with another
   to maintain the balance which
   the natural world relies upon.

Direa:
   The gods that represent
   each Element are called the
   '"Dragon Gods."'
   Since they symbolize the
   powers of nature, they are
   also commonly referred to
   as the '"Gods of Nature."'

Steena:
   If the sun is white,
   the shadow is black...
   The flame red and
   the water blue...
   Green are the leaves of the
   forest and the blowing winds.
   Yellow are the forces of
   mother earth.

I maybe interpreting this wrong but that was my impression .

Even though I'd normally pick Serge as a matter of favoritism, but I came to a conclusion.  Even if Serge's moves are more powerful, he can only do them once.  Twice with Riddel.  But If you give Crono the gold stud, he can do Luminaire countless times.

[V_Translanka]

Kebrel, that seems to be saying that each Dragon just represents one of the Elements...and that they symbolize the powers of nature...I guess that can be interpreted in the way you were saying...But I don't know if I'd say they were the equivalent of the 4 element CT Magic system...

But If you give Crono the gold stud, he can do Luminaire countless times.

Not to mention Crono doesn't have to allocate his Items, HA! Ethers+Gold Stud+Confuse/Luminaire=Nigh Infinite Death for Serge...

[Delta Dragon]

Or if you want to go more towards endurance and not strike with all your magic, you could give him the green dream.  Not to mention both Life 1 and 2 are a lot better than revive.  Plus, if Serge runs out of revive elements, he can't rely on items for it. 
    This is weird, I'm putting up reasons for the character who I don't want to win, but think he would win.

[V_Translanka]

Uh, how would Life or Revive Elements help either of them...? You can't cast either if you're KO'd...>_>

[Delta Dragon]

True.  All the more reason to use the green dream.

[x_XTacTX_x]

Was there an accessory in CC that revived the user when they died? I think I recall something like that...

[Delta Dragon]

Not that I recall.  Unless I missed it.

[BROJ]

Was there an accessory in CC that revived the user when they died? I think I recall something like that...

Nope; just went over the accessory list...

[x_XTacTX_x]

I definitely think Crono would win... Especially if he has the Rainbow.

But then again, it all depends on who attacks first. Crono has to wait to attack, but Serge can just go right on ahead and whoop his ass three times before Crono can fight back. And finish with an element.

[V_Translanka]

Yeah, but then we're not talking about Crono vs Serge, but ATB vs CSB...I mean, are we talking the two characters or the two game's mechanics?
