all casual gamers know mudkip? ...are you dense? All casual gamers that I know do. o.O My definition of casual is more of the Wii crowd than the Game Fuel believe bunch, though. ~~~ Ashe.

If Mudkip were to win, I'd probably fall out of my chair laughing. ...But then I'd cry... Also...if these joke characters really are a hindrance on these polls, Vincent looks even better now. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

Mudkip is not a pure joke character. A pure joke character would fall
apart in the day. I'd say his fanbase is half joke and half Pokemon
fans. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

| If he didn't have the "half joke," wouldn't he get beaten relatively easily? |

Mudkip's votes were staying pretty suspiciously constant here for a time when they should be dropping. I see people talking about how 4chan is not paying attention here, but the data clearly invites suspicions. And yes, Mudkip will do decent in the day - I agree with those who say he's not a joke. Most of his strength is PokePower. But it's probable a non-trivial amount of his votes right now are shady. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Nidoran F got 19% on Samus and Mudkip is more liked in the Pokemon

| He's getting rallied to hell right now; of course he'll drop. However, it seems nearly impossible for him to fall to third. He was impressive against Luigi in the day, and he'll build enough of a lead soon to easily sustain him. He's a guarantee to advance, and the big favorite to win outright. |

He might drop during the day, but if this keeps going through the night, it's definitely too late for Luigi. --- http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=6054&game=4&diff=4 |

have been dropping steadily. Ganon and Luigi have just been dropping
faster... --- From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie. The black wind howls, and one of you will snap into a Slim Jim ooh yeeeah! -sonicblastpunch |

So, with Ganondorf and Mudkip both being locks to advance at this point
(because there is no way Luigi can come back the moment this insanity
stops)... What are the odds of either MC > Yuna or MC > Kips? D: ~~~ Ashe. The Cream of Final Fantasy Fanboyism. http://www.destructoid.com/elephant//ul/9855-550x-contra-poster-2-dsf.jpg |

Mudkip's getting the same full force vote stuffing that Bidoof got... nothing to worry about. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Why does it have to be stuffing though? 4chan has at least 2000
people on at this time of night, and they're an even bigger hindmind
than even this place. I have no idea why you don't understand the concept of cheat votes. It's not as clear-cut here, but you refused to accept for Bidoof IIRC, and that was about as obvious as could be. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

After Pikachu's smooth win, I can't see how anyone can shrug off ANY Pokemon strength as not there. --- And if we armed them all with two swords, we'd have four times the votes! |

I see people talking about how 4chan is not paying attention here, but the data clearly invites suspicions. If anything, that lends itself more to vote stuffing, rather than it just being a huge group of people voting for Mudkip. Honestly, how many people from 4-chan do you really think are in on this joke? And if there are that many people who are into it, why wouldn't all their votes be crammed into an update or two? It makes no sense for it to be spread out so evenly like it is. I'm convinced it's either his actual strength, with a little 4chan on top, or it's stuffing, and he's going to drop pretty good during the day. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

Gah. The fact that Mudkip stands a chance at advancing here is nuts. People seriously like this thing that much? --- let's mosey |

Nidoran F got 19% on Samus and Mudkip is more liked in the Pokemon
fanbase than her. Stop acting like random Pokemon can't have strength
because they can. Indeed. This is why I hope there's an audit - with Mudkip having some legit strength, and Luigi/Ganon LFF, there's a good chance of Mudkip placing here. And a few thousand cheat votes could well make the difference in that case. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

After Pikachu's smooth win, I can't see how anyone can shrug off ANY Pokemon strength as not there. Pikachu is an icon. Mudkip is a disgrace. There's no question Pokemon has gained some strength since '03. But enough for Random Pokemon #342 + Obscure Internet Fad to = first place? Doubt it. |

| How can you say for sure that they have to be
stuffed votes? Like I said, you've got everyone on 4chan legitimately
voting and this is the kind of result you'll get, a massive front-end
rally. Don't forget other sites like LL that would love to get a random
Pokemon through. TuRtLe ~~~ 141/184 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Zero BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

...and if they were so concerned with Mudkip winning in a poll on
another site, they'd all be voting in the first couple of updates. It's
like hardcore poll watchers here, most of the boards vote is casted in
the opening minutes. It doesn't make sense to me for it to be so
continuous, if they're going to vote for him, they're gonna do it right
away. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

Mudkip's votes behaving a lot more normally now. GG Honestly, how many people from 4-chan do you really think are in on this joke? And if there are that many people who are into it, why wouldn't all their votes be crammed into an update or two? It makes no sense for it to be spread out so evenly like it is. Well it's fairly obvious the "rally" notion is likely complete crap. Either it's stuffing, or they're having no impact, as you said. MadGamer This is the most absurd thing I have ever seen... This would definitely be the most absurd thing that's ever happened in these contests. I had never even heard of Mudkip before. Keno And...also...if Mudkip ends up winning here...suddenly Ganondorf/Tidus looks up in question again. WTF indeed!

Either it's stuffing, or they're having no impact, as you said. Can you explain why this is? Like I said, a mere increase of 1000 total votes is easily explained by rallying when a site as large as 4chan is involved. --- From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie.
