After all the yelling about the seddings the high seeds will basically hold up if MC pulls this off. Only Yoshii as a 5 seed is a non Top 4 seed in the next round and the only match left with a possible non Top 4 seed winning is Ryu vs Sora, and I think Ryu will win.

Destroy that period.

That would be infinitely more worth it than just some "yup, obvious cheating" type of deal.

Hah! Win convincingly? There's nothing either of them could really do to win convincingly unless this spurt by Master Chief stops around 1,000.

But then again, Frog didn't really dominate Liquid Snake in the early hours of that poll either, so his night vote really wasn't expected to come in strong. But it still barely came in and gave him enough momentum to pull away at least.

But he PWNED Master Chief in the early hours of this poll.

62%? Hell....

The only reason this is here is because posts without sigs look ugly.

I wouldn't be so sure. At least, I don't think it's ALL cheating. I'd say maybe 10% of this at most. Then there is the fact that Frog probably has cheaters too.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

i am absolutely LOVING this comeback!! ^_^

before the bracket was even announced, i tried to warn everyone here that you were putting too much faith in Frog. i tried to convince everyone that they were totally overestimating Frog. and now Master Cheif, of all people, is putting that little amphibian in his place. HA!

then, this morning, i predicted that MC would make a small push when the Americans woke up and a huge push when the American kiddies got home from school. reading over how basically everyone else in the last topic had called the match with Frog as the official winner gave me a hearty laugh.

i do believe that besides MasterMage, i was the only person in this topic to pick Master Cheif over Frog. and, although i honestly don't think he can keep this up all night, i am really hoping MC can keep this up.

btw- down to 330 now.

How the bloody hell can Master Chief make such a comeback?! It defies two standard principles of gamefaqs:

2. Squarenix characters, particularly characters from FF7 & CT, will always perform well against competition.

Frog would have to lose to someone more pathetic than Tails to be a bigger flop than Joe, and few characters meet that requirement. MC doesn't, and Frog's won a match anyway.

---
That's it. I have reached my threshold of pain. I am going home and I am going to play Megaman, eat snack cakes, and do my woman.

StarCraft over Wind Waker is the most successful comeback to date, though Master Chief-Frog would trump it if it stands.

I would still consider Viewtiful Joe the biggest flop because he was an overwhelming board favorite to beat Tails and he lost by quite a bit. If Frog loses, it'll still be close.

---
Bomberman's Road to the Summer Championship
1st Round: (4)Squall Leonhart, 2nd Round: (5)Kirby

It was just yesterday that somebody (Wangalicious, I think) was arguin' that Frog would beat MC 62-38, and would take Frog over Aeris. He logic was that Crono was to Magus as Solid was to Liquid, and the fact that Frog beat Liquid showed that there was no hope for Master Chief.

I disproved that in two ways:

1) Comparing Crono-Magus-Frog to Cloud-Sephiroth-Aeris would have been more accurate (and currently is, still), and FF7 beating CT 42-58 only solidifies the gaps between them.

2) I waited 'til today. I don't deserve much credit for this though, 'cuz I did give up hope on him earlier...for shame.





Either way, I hope Frog goes to the next round and MC barely loses, so I can be as happy about today's result as I can be.

Frog getting into the contest is the only sign that Chrono Trigger had any useful momentum, and I think he woulda made it anyways if Chrono Trigger would have lost in the Elite Eight.

I really doubt Crono's gonna be gettin' much momentum from CT, either, believers of such.

well, i'll be back in about three hours to seee how this ends. we'll see if MC's miracle comeback is legit or not by then. we'll also see if Frog can bring it back with the night vote like he honestly should be able to.

either way, i'm certain this topic wil be 500'D and the next one will be well over half full.

Someone said this match parallels the Ryu/Jill development, and well, we all know what happened there... And in this case, MC won't get probably more than a 400-500 vote lead before the shift.

Bungie, as I've been told by someone on AIM, is Halo's creator. He advertised the contest. Look at the fifth article, starting from the top and going down.

But I don't know that I'd be complaining if Frog was doing this, so I should probably shut up. XD

Actually, I would like it if fans of all the characters did that sort of promotion (note: promotion not cheating). It's one of the few things that can make the matches unpredictable.

The thing is, he's saying he's been getting flooded with emails, so it wasn't like he did this intentionally. If someone is able to win via vote rallying, they should be able to.

Perhaps. But I'm sure I wouldn't be worried about it if Frog was doing this, so I won't worry about it.

Thursday is my ***** day. I have class from 2 until 8. Which sucks, but that's not the point. Anyway, I left for Calc II at 1:30, and Frog's lead had crossed 2000. Around 53%. I get back to my dorm at 8:15, click on results only, and say "Oh, he's still at 53%. Wait a sec...THAT'S MASTER CHIEF?" I looked at his vote pace in the updater topic. Nothing, no other character, could do what he did. Even Starcraft gained votes slower. This is ridiculous, and I am anxiously awaiting a Ceej topic.

My issues with Shdwdde's bracket

North Division

(4) Metroid Prime
(13) Max Payne

Seriously, a Max Payne game? I can't see it doing well.

(6) Super Metroid
(11) Gunstar Heroes

I think we've seen enough of GH. It deserved some recognition and got it, there's so many others that need in now.

(3) Halo
(14) Fire Emblem

Fire Emblem can take a break too.

(2) Super Mario Bros 3
(15) Gunstar Heroes

How many times does this game get in? :)

East Division

(8) Tetris
(9) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

No need for MM if we're keeping 2k4 games as well.

(5) Metal Gear Solid
(12) Duck Hunt

DH had its chance, it should stay out unless be do divisions by era agian.

(4) Goldeneye
(13) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

We already saw this, wasted match

(6) Chrono Cross
(11) Phantasy Star IV

PS4 can take a rest

(3) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
(14) Suikoden II

Vice City will no doubt be replaced by San Andreas.

South Division

(4) Mega Man X
(13) Dance Dance Revolution

I love DDR. I play more DDR than anyone in this topic, no doubt. DDR just doesn't have a place here.

(6) Sonic the Hedgehog 2
(11) Paper Mario

Still skipping Sonic 3? the fanboys will lynch you

West Division

(5) Half-Life/Counter-Strike
(12) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

KotOR won't be returning.


My issues with HarricH's Bracket

8-Sonic 2 vs 9-Castlevania: SotN

Still odd seeign SOnic 2 in there when we know the fanboys want 3.

4-Devil May Cry vs 13-Pac-Man

Pac doesn't deserve to return.

3-Final Fantasy 10 vs 14-Fatal Fury

I love Fatal Fury, you guys know I do, I still say Samurai Shodown has a better chance to connect with the masses. In it's day (when Fighters were at their height) SamSho was only out done by SF2 and MK.

8-Twisted Metal 2 vs 9-Quake ("borrowed" this one from Chich, I think; it's good)

You're damn right it's good.

4-Metal Gear Solid vs 13-WWF No Mercy

A wresting game seems unlikely to me.

8-Diablo 2 vs 9-Starcraft

I can't see D2 over SC in the brackets.

5-GTA:VC vs 12-Super Mario Sunshine

And I still say San Andreas wil simply overtake VC due to being newer. I think no GTA will ever have as great of a soundtrack as VC, but I know it's not going to remain the favorite.

My issues with jonthomson's bracket

(3) Zelda: Wind Waker vs. (14) Fire Emblem

I know FE has a lot of fans, but it doesn't really belong... yet.

(7) Sonic 2 vs. (10) Metal Gear Solid 2

Okay, now SOnic 2 is my favorite in the series, so it's what I'd choose, but I jsut feel like Sonic 3 is more likely next time.

(1) Chrono Trigger vs. (16) Elite

That's make a new recond or two. I've only heard of Elite during nominations for my music tournament, IIRC.

(3) Final Fantasy X vs. (14) Star Wars: KOTOR

I've said what I had to say on KotOR

(1) Zelda OoT vs. (16) Chuckie Egg

Wait, my bad... now THIS is the ultimate record breaker. A murder in the making.

(5) GTA: Vice City vs. (12) Duck Hunt

...

(3) FF3/6 vs. (14) Championship Manager

Well, 3 super blowouts in one bracket, eh? Interesting. though yeah, DKC is much better in there.

~Blade X~

It's back above 600... I don't think the night vote is going to take full force for a while yet.

HM... I lost a lot of respect for you today. You called my logic asinine yesterday for thinking Frog would get raped during the day vote. If a 3000 vote swing isn't raping, well then I may just have to step down from Board 8. Your disillusions of Mega Man winning it all are fine, but nobody of sound mind and body can say MC did anything but treat Frog like a ho for those 8 or so hours. I am not going to lie either; I think that there is some ethical issues with this match. But there is no way MC got 3000 cheat votes. A couple hundred, though, I do not believe is out of the question, Bungie-posting or not. If anything, I would argue the fact that it made an appearance outside GameFAQs on their board goes more to show there is some cheating more than it does that is where the mass voting comes from. But that's the accountant in me. Frog could still take this, but I am not holding my breath.

Well, at least Frog is stalling MC now. If he can go up 2200 votes during the early vote, he could hypothetically come back. MC's day vote ratio, however, is still completely insane. 100 vote gain in 7 minutes? I don't buy that.

I just find it very strange that when MC was busy making up over TWO THOUSAND VOTES, Heroic Mario kept on saying that it wouldn't be enough and MC had no chance. Then when Frog cut about 20 votes into MC's lead, he declared the start of a huge comeback... I like HM plenty and I still do (because not liking him over something like this is just stupid) but he really should just be a bit more realistic...

Er, I dont think anyone was expecting MC NOT to make a lot of progress during the day vote. But 3000 votes? There obviously was some outside force influencing this match, especially due to the sheer speed of the comeback. This is downright ridiculous. I think you can handily attribute a large number of votes to the link on bungie, so i don't think that its nessecarily cheating, but there obviously is quite a bit of craziness going on here.

Well, Frog has a lot more comeback potential in him right now than Jill did and she almost made it. Sure, the Chief has a slightly larger lead than Hayabusa did at his peak, but Frog is also clearly a much stronger force in the night than Jill.

"That's interesting because I don't remember Frog gaining crap on Liquid during the night."

Apparently you don't have any grasp of how that match went... there wasn't a day vote or a night vote, both charactre were at their strognest during the same time of day, both were at their weakest at the same time of day. Their variations were very minor compared to most characters.

Frog actually did gain on Liquid during the night and put it away. He just pulled it under 100 in the last few minutes.

Would you expect Jill to gain like mad during the (very) late night vote? Not usually, but since she won the early vote, it made since for her to win the night vote. Same with Frog. He'll take the night vote, it's a question of how much he takes the night vote by. Personally, I'm not holding my breath, but I'm generally a pessimistic guy. I gave up on Hayabusa, too.

Don't overestimate the "outside help" because it was nothing out of the ordinary. He made a post to vote for MC, that's about it, and that's all it was either. It's nowhere even close to the degree of Mario's help from PGC.

I did no such thing, and Frog doesn't need to gain that much. As of now he needs to get it back under control and gain 700 or so to put it safely away.

Very cool, well since my bracket sucks anyways I hope for your sake, and the sake of the board being thrown into turmaoil that teh chief wins. Hell the ladder was enough for me to vote for him anyways.

It was a hyperbole. But you said "much stronger" and Jill gained back 450 as it was. If anything he has about the same potential.

"If anything he has about the same potential."

Are you nuts? He built a much bigger lead than she did, he has much more potnetial. I didn't say he was much more likely, I said he had more potential, and the only people who would disagree with that are people who aren't reading correctly.

I just interpreted it differently. I thought of it as you saying he WOULD gain significantly more than Jill.

North:
1-Final Fantasy 7 vs 16-Conker's Bad Fur Day

East:
1-LoZ:OoT vs 16-Donkey Kong

8-Mortal Kombat 2 vs 9-Doom

5-Soul Calibur 2 vs 12-Sonic and Knuckles
I am not sure if Sonic and Knuckles should be in this match and even if it was.. Not a 12 seed.. This should be replaced by Megaman X(too many games so a 12 seed sounds about right)

4-Super Mario 64 vs 13-Earthworm Jim
EJ should be a 15-16 seed

6-Super Mario RPG vs 11-Earthbound

3-Final Fantasy 10 vs 14-Fatal Fury
Although Fatal Fury is an awesome game, I don't think it truly deserver a spot in Best. Game. Ever. Fatal Fury should be replace by Megaman 2(same reason as Megaman X)

7-Super Mario Kart vs 10-Mario Kart 64
These two games should not go head-to-head first round.. That's just blasphemy.. =)

2-Final Fantasy 3/6 vs 15-Shenmue
Shenmue is worthy, but there can be another replacement..

South:
1-Chrono Trigger vs 16-Duck Hunt

8-Twisted Metal 2 vs 9-Quake
If these two were to make it, they'll be in a much lower seed.

5-Metroid Prime vs 12-Pong

4-Metal Gear Solid vs 13-WWF No Mercy
No offense to wrestling or anything but WWF or any WWE game should make it into the contest..

6-Tetris vs 11-Metroid

3-Metal Gear Solid 2 vs 14-Star Wars:KotOR

7-Street Fighter 2 vs 10-Donkey Kong Country

2-SSBM vs 15-Tecmo Super Bowl
Techmo Super Bowl.. A valiant and worthy game..

West:
1-Super Mario Bros. 3 vs 16-Zero Wing
Zero Wing.. What the heck.. Might as well since CATS is quite popular here on gamefaqs

8-Kingdom Hearts vs 9-GTA:VC

5-Diablo 2 vs 12-Super Mario Sunshine
Not sure if Sunshine would make it..

4-Starcraft vs 13-Bionic Commando
A big ? on Bionic Commando.. I doubt it'll make it... Another title like Final Fantasy VIII deserves it more but also with a higher seed..

6-Goldeneye vs 11-Half-Life

3-Super Mario World vs 14-Xenogears

7-Mega Man 2 vs 10-Punch-out!!
Punch-Out..worthy but not a 10 seed.. Give it a 15 seed will do..

2-LoZ:LttP vs 15-Astroids
Astroids.. Classic but replaceable..

Overall.. Nice bracket Harrich.. Kudos to you.. =)

"I demand a moderator"
"I demand pie!" - OooO

It's too early for the real comeback anyway. As much as I wish he could start immeadiately I know that's not how it works. If this IS legit MC will hold his ground until the last 45 minutes or so before Frog makes his real push back. And, MC may even look like he is starting to gain around 11. But make no mistake, MC cannot hold himself steady for the last 45 minutes of the match. If Frog starts the beats before then, then he's going to be looking mighty fine.

And AGAIN under 600...

wow. MC is still holding out. Frog has a little over four hours to make up about 600 votes. it's definitely not out of the question, but he better start pushing a little harder soon.

isn't it strange, though, how few accusations of cheating there will be if Frog makes a sudden huge push to comeback at the end of the match, even if it's comparable to MC's earlier rush of votes?

Damn that's a heartbreaker, but maybe... just maybe... Frog will keep it under 600 this time and even take it to 550 in his next mini surge.

Pshaw. How could Frog cheat? He isn't the X-Box character in this match. It would simply be illogical.

redline15: sarcastic lurker

Woops, read that wrogn earlier... Jill made her big comeback starting at 9:15, not 11:15. My bad, my bad.

Well, I was talking to a friend of mine who runs a lot of proxy servers on his computer, and I asked him to vote with one to see if it had been used. Sure enough, it had. He went through ~100 proxy servers on his list to see if they had voted, and he said every single one he tried had voted. So, apparantly, proxy servers have been used to vote for one character or another. He didn't vote stuff, and if one of them would have gone through, he would have stopped and left his vote count at one, but every proxy server he tried to vote with had already been used.

Take it how you will.

Gamefaqs is biased, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Starcraft was the board's favorite until it beat Wind Waker. At that point, it was pretty much **** on because it beat Link, the darling of many.

Well, Frog is already fighting back as we speak, it's a long journey to travel, but he certainly isn't hoping for last minute antics like Jill did.

Yes, please send those proxies to CJayC. He's probably already noticed, but it can't hurt.

"was the board's favorite until it beat Wind Waker."

That match, at that time, was supicious. Though there was no evidence of cheating our suspicions did prove to be warrented as SC undoubtedly cheated agianst SSBM. When anyone does anything odd like that the board has doubts. Hell, even Mario fans were suspicious of the plumber after MvC2. We are, as a whole, accoustomed to predictable voting trends and when things differ significantly there is always somebody there to disect it. Yes, it tends to be the opposition, but that's because they blindly hope there is cheating as much as the suspect's fans hope there isn't.

Oh, and I don't expect to see 600 out of MC again. Not the comeback people are hoping for, no doubt, but a step in the right direction.

another question - if MC does manage to hold out for the win, how many people do you think will drop off the Top 50?

I expect the predictions to be as lopsided as with Zero... MC will have the people who are already screwed picking him in droves and the people at the top of the list won't have been "fooled" into taking the mainstream character.

But that's IF he wins, which he won't.

3 hours and 410 votes to go. i wish i could stay up to watch the ending here, but i need sleep. *yawn* it's still anyone's match, but it's really looking like Frog will get the night vote this time. ah, well. even if Master Cheif fades out at the end, at least he made Frog work his green rear end off for a victory, which is miles better than almost everyone else in this topic thought before the contest started.

There's nothign funny about that. Winning by a mere 20 votes would kick ass... for either side, I suppose... but taking the votes away from Frog after him looking liek the winner would hurt. Good thing that the voting trends followed along a very legitimate trail and that cheating wasn't all that likely. And of course, that Frog is gonna win.
---
True love is a fairy tale. I'm damaged, so how would I know? - Plummet: Damaged

If you people don't know it by now, then something is wrong. Cjay has addressed cheating before. There is no way to tell for certain who cheating will fall in favor of. Sure it was probably strong for MC to take the lead but how do we know it isn't strong for Frog to try to gain it back? If Cjay won't do anything about cheating in Crono vs. Mario or Samus vs. Sonic or even Ryu vs. Jill then he certainly will not do anything other than maybe create a topic for this match. The results will stand. You heard it here. Good luck to both, a strong comeback would be fun. Maybe some last minute flip flops.

Why, for having a match with predictable patterns? It's a lot like Ryu H vs. Jill in terms of who was strong when, and Frog happens to be better at this time than Jill. His come back will be deserved, and neither one of them will be shown to be all that weak.
