MM, I highly doubt that he did that on his own. It would take forever without assistance, and considering how fast he was able to do it...

So where does this match rank overall?

I say fourth behind Mario/Crono II, Halo/Starcraft, and MC/Frog.

By the way, I am now convinced beyond any shadow of any doubt that CJayC reads this topic on a semi-regular basis. First we see a bracket that was obviously influenced by the Xsts and suggestions in the stats topic, then we see 5 minute poll updates --- the same time frame in creative's updater.

Makes you wonder.

Well there are other programs he could have done it on. I just meant it's not anything that is a GameFAQs, admin function. Probably not anyway. I could be wrong. I'm not an administrator on this site.

For a first round match with little bearing on anything, not as high as you ranked it. It's up there, though.

yeah, I was thinking the same. this match is great, but it's still only a first round match. imagine if this happened during Mario/Samus? the board would be going absolutely insane.

From: Kaidyn04 | Posted: 8/6/2005 10:34:45 PM | Message Detail
I like the idea on the boards of a Sudden Death! round of one hour of voting starting now to determine the fate of the match.

Mainly because Kefka has a good chance at winning >.>

Heh. I really need to start posting there and help it be more mainstream (because everything I touch around here becomes mainstream, and don't even try denying it). I keep meaning to, but forgetting.

I'm officially not nominating Kefka next year, he's a huge disappointment in these contests.

But I still want a FF6 character. I want Edgar, because he has the least likely chance of getting a horrible disfigured pic >.>

Well, it looks like some very important swtuff happened while I was gone. 1,800 votes still keeps kefka respectable looking enough, even if he isn't going to win. I guess those random surges kefka got really were done by vote stuffing after all.

No I love them.

Theory question: Could the timing of the vote removal effect the contest itself? Let us say the votes were removed earlier in the day, would that not inspire more Kefka rallying, which would be difficult to happen this late in the contest?

Well, Wind Waker was a more imposing opponent for StarCraft than Halo. Going into the match, everyone was saying, "Okay, Halo is an X-Box game and got anti-voted. Okay, the KHF is overrated and KH itself really isn't that strong. Now StarCraft is going up against a ZELDA game. It's the end of the line for StarCraft."

Even most StarCraft supporters thought that was as far as StarCraft would go. I was one of the most vocal SC supporters at the time, and my thoughts were, "StarCraft CAN win."

So SC's victory over Wind Waker is much more impressive, IMO.

I'm all for keeping the 5 minute updates (I usually just use sc2k5 anyway) but I like being able to watch the board vote in the first couple of minutes. if these are here to stay, I'll miss seeing CATS over MC for a couple seconds or other similar things.

There's only 3 weird updates during that.

Which is enough. They were cheating better in this match than in the one against SSBM, because they didn't need to rush as much as they did against SSBM, because WW would have beaten Starcraft by less, whereas SSBM was comfortably winning.

I'll stick to my conspiracy theory, thank you.
