With a better pic I'd say Crono takes 58-60% against Vincent, especially with a round-one style pic. IMO that was one of Crono's worst pics ever.
---
Opus 13 in C minor.

...what you say makes no sense at all. Ooo! Crono did worse on Link in 2k4 than Mario did on Link in 2k2! Mario > Crono lololololol

The thing is, Mario didn't face Link directly in 2k4, so comparing Crono to Mario through Link doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Cloud faced Link directly in both 2k4 and 2k5, so it makes sense to compare the two Clouds through Link.

I wish a character I liked was strong in these contests.

Don't you like Zelda? I'd consider her pretty strong.

Yeah, I like Zelda, but...she's just a cliche princess, that I only like because of her SSBM look and moveset.

Anyway...
Who is your favorite Final Fantasy VIII character?

Squall 29.83% 7926

Quistis 7.84% 2084

oh, and my favourite characters either suck too much to make the contest or finish dead last. I never really cared that much as to if they won, because it's obvious it's the most popular character and I generally like less popular characters.

PGC rudely interfered in Cloud vs. Mario 2k2, resulting in Mario beating Cloud by the hair of his teeth.

To this day, while I've heard people be more angry about others links (when HBO linked to MC/Frog, for example), I still haven't heard of any links that was as "evil" and "uncalled for" as the PGC link. I'd like an explanation on why PGC has a heart like the Grinch compared to other places who link.

---
Jman_gamerX8:Link::me:Jay Solano.

Mario/Cloud?

If you look deeper, that IS the most infamous match, EVER.

PGC linked to that match on the very day that SMS was released.

Had it been any other days, Cloud would still win safely.

He was on route to a 55/45 win by mid morning, and was still increasing his percentage!

SC links was done by fans, not official sites like PGC.

And it's not the link itself that is the biggest issue, it just happened that it's SMS's release day!

well, in my opinion, you can't separate PGC and SMS coming out on the same day. nobody really knows which was more important. M/C II still has people talking about it today (not to mention their tight match in 2002), whereas Mario/Cloud at least has a reason to be legit.

PGC isn't any more "official" than halo.bungie.org, but both links presumably turned otherwise dull matches into two of the most exciting in contest history. I don't see how that can possibly be a bad thing, especially considering we got the right winners in both matches as well.
---
Congrats to Jman_gamerX8, who pwned all the Gurus in SC2k5!

Right, I understand it was SMS's release day, and I realize that linkage to GameFAQs that day ON TOP OF the already-added traffic Mario was gettin' due to the game being released gave Mario the win...

...I just wanna know why PGC is such a bad site for doing what every site that links hopes to do: get the character it supports to win. I guess because it was actually successful, in which case imagine the hell MC would catch nowadays if he actually beat Frog.

Well, in terms of no major vote-stuffing going on, then yes, that match is "legitimate".

If vote-stuffing is what you're looking for, the answer is Mario/Crono II.

Crono had an 800 vote lead, and he was still extending it since it's his strongest time (second night vote).

But less than 2 hours before the match ends, Mario viciously began to cut down his lead and eventually took the match in a close one.

If you compare it with any other Mario/Crono match, you know it's impossible for Mario to mount such a massive comeback during those hours.

Unfortunately, Ceej couldn't find enough evidence of massive vote-stuffing, so the match is called in Mario's favor.

I think the fact that Ceej actually got pissed-off at PGC answered your questions right there.

Btw, ever since that incident, PGC mods would instantly ban anyone for so much as mentioning a match in GameFAQs.

And it's also the wrong winner in both matches.

Wait, wait, you voted Servbot, Morrigan, Donkey Kong, Cloud, Crono, Link, Captain Olimar, Shadow the Hedgehog, Crono, Sephiroth, JC Denton, Bowser, Crono, Joanna Dark, Ness, Zero, Samus, Solid Snake, Crono and Sephiroth over Mario?

I can see for some characters, but other characters must all be anti-votes. I never really anti-vote a character.

I think the only time that I haven't voted for Mario was Ness and Bowser, and both of those were out of pity. Mario over Cloud was by far the best day in contest history.
---
Congrats to Jman_gamerX8, who pwned all the Gurus in SC2k5!

Now that I think about it, I think I have only voted against Mario once in any contest (and I've been around for them all), and it was a pity-vote for a character I like almost as much as him...that's right, Solid Snake.

I pity vote all the time. I probably pity voted for Tanner.

I can't think of a character that I've voted for every single time.. besides someone who's been in like once, of course. Samus is close, but she had to go up against Yuri.
