Ganon beat Yuna 61-39 in 2k5. Yuna advancing over Ganon is less likely than Zero going to round 4. He's only expected to lose 55-45 to Vincent/Crono TuRtLe ~~~ 149/192 in the contest. Next pick: Ganondorf > Luigi BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

But weren't there 4chan people who openly talked about cheating? It's
not going to affect the results, but when another large site is openly
discussing cheating in this contest, I think the least we can ask for
is one simple post from the man in charge. Don't let us down, Bacon.

Ganon beat Yuna 61-39 in 2k5. Yuna advancing over Ganon is less
likely than Zero going to round 4. He's only expected to lose 55-45 to
Vincent/Crono And Bowser beat Ryu 59-41. How did that one work out again? Oh yeah, and there's a little thing called Luigi in that match too. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

Glad I woke up to see Mudkip in 3rd just like I predicted last night.
These joke characters just can't sustain the might of guys like Ganon
and Luigi even if they do split their fanbase. --- SC2k7: 88/128, tied for 1364th Today's Pick: Mega Man > Knux (whoops) |

How do they know their cheating works? 5-minute updates mask any
cheating, and l fully expect that Ceej/Bacon have some system in place
to catch cheaters. People have been claiming to votestuff since the dinosaurs, and only twice has CJay validified that somebody cheated (Kefka/Vercetti and one more I can't remember). Remember Starcraft/Halo (at least I think it was Starcraft/Halo) where he said about 4000 votes came from asia? That was a rally, not a stuff. TuRtLe ~~~ 149/192 in the contest. Next pick: Ganondorf > Luigi BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

It's still plenty plausible actually. I'm sure you won't find many
other people saying that, but Luigi can still take 2nd next round, I
just like his chances the least. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

And Bowser beat Ryu 59-41. How did that one work out again? Oh yeah, and there's a little thing called Luigi in that match too. But Bowser/Ryu as we saw was a very fishy match. And my point was Yuna advancing over Luigi/Ganon SFF is less likely than Zero advancing due to Vincent/Crono SFF due to Zero being closer than Yuna is. TuRtLe ~~~ 149/192 in the contest.

Well, in that case, I don't think it's unreasonable for Bacon to still let us know what's up. "Hey guys, their "cheating" didn't even work. We blocked it all. See ya!" CJayC would have done it! Oh, and the other match is Starcraft/SSBM. Kinda obvious when it gained 800 votes in one (15 minute) update. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

BT, it was confirmed their cheating methods worked. And they were
working till this morning when Bacon woke up and did something about it
is my guess --- Dood! I'm another alt of Albion Hero! |

Oh so that's fishy because you want it to
be then. Well I'll take it at face value, and say Bowser still kicks
Ryu's ass in a 1v1 match. You want to take Ryu? Go for it. There's also
obvious, blatant SFF between Luigi and Ganon, you're hoping there's SFF between Vincent and Crono. Big difference. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

Actually looking at the vote totals... mudkips votes every update NEVER
dropped off... its just that there were an explosion of votes for the
others due to it being the morning vote. So they are prolly still
cheating --- Dood! I'm another alt of Albion Hero! |

Oh, and the other match is Starcraft/SSBM. Kinda obvious when it gained 800 votes in one (15 minute) update. Kinda like how it was obvious cheating when Frog gained 500 votes in an hour after he was dropping all day? For all we know, somebody posted on a highly populated Korean Starcraft board, and we all know how crazy Koreans are about Starcraft. Unless Bacon outright says they were cheated votes, I'll stand by it being a massive 4chan rally. A lot of people in this topic don't seem to realize how utterly stupid and hive-minded /b/ can be.

It's still plenty plausible actually. I'm sure you won't find many
other people saying that, but Luigi can still take 2nd next round, I
just like his chances the least. Yeah, I'm not willing to call it impossible just yet. The dynamics will be shifted completely with Mudkip out and Chief in. I know it's grasping, but I'm willing to believe that Mudkip may be hurting Luigi a smidgen more. I also get this feeling that Luigi won't lose as much of his fanbase as the competition gets stronger. Nothing but hunches, but hopefully one of them will be right. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

And Crono never dropped off when the ASV hit, it was just an explosion of Zero votes coming in. Does that mean Crono cheated? TuRtLe ~~~ 149/192 in the contest. Next pick: Ganondorf > Luigi BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

If someone posted on a Korean board about it, they wouldn't all hear
about it at the exact same time, and all go vote 800 votes in 15
minutes and then no more. --- SC2k7: 88/128, tied for 1364th Today's Pick: Mega Man > Knux (whoops) |

How do two entrants go even for a significant amount of time, and then, boom, 800 vote gain? --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

It was also right in the middle range for the contest as for as votals went. What, about 1,500 votes less than average? BLATANT OBVIOUS SFF BOOK IT And even if there IS SFF in that match, you're totally straying from the point, which is MC > Yuna. Stop twisting everything back to Zero. This was about Bowser/Ryu, matches we've already seen go down, and the relationship those matches have to the upcoming MC/Yuna/Ganon/Luigi pack. Stop trying to twist **** around. seriously. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

I'm looking at the update for SC/SSBM, and all I see is a consistant Starcraft comeback. It wasn't 800 votes then stop. TuRtLe ~~~ 149/192 in the contest. Next pick: Ganondorf > Luigi BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Very well. Yuna advancing is less likely than Sub-Zero advancing because Subby is closer to Sqora than Yuna is to Luigidorf. TuRtLe ~~~ 149/192 in the contest. Next pick: Ganondorf > Luigi BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

How? By doing to you're stupid upset what everyone else did to mine? The elitist hypocrisy around here is unbelievable. I thought it was mainly KH, but the last few days it seems to have spread to all the stats topic regulars. Is it THAT horrible when BT is right about something?

You're just as bad as Vlado. Do you not realize that new people come
into these topics all the time and start posting? My first contest that
I paid attention to was Summer 2K4, and I probably didn't post in here
until Villains. People don't hate you because they're elitist, it's
because you're a dick. There's no weekly meeting where we all talk
about how we're going to make fun of you, and hate you, and ignore you,
we all just do. Stop trying to shift the blame. You're the problem, not us. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

Once again, I fail to see how this is my fault. Maybe if you guys would
stop shooting down every idea that disagrees with your beloved CS&D

And that 800 votes is what started the comeback. Somebody posted on a
popular Korean SC forum, many people saw it at first and voted, and the
votes kept trickling in until the end of the poll. TuRtLe ~~~ 149/192 in the contest. Next pick: Ganondorf > Luigi BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Turtle, we've all had ridiculous upsets. I have Luigi getting to the Elite 8. We've had some people
who have taken Mega Man over Link, for Pete's sake! Don't you think
it's a bit strange how no one else claims to be mistreated or
disrespected? Do you think that maybe, just maybe, you had a hand to
play in this yourself? --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Squall > Gannondorf. Auron, Bowser, Gannondorf and Squall have always been close to eachother. Even though mudkipz might be playing kind of part in making these totals obscure this result helps to further my thought that Squall is stronger than Gannondorf.

Squall and Vincent were near equal 2 years in a row, one of them being a 1v1 match. I'd take Squall over Ganondorf. TuRtLe ~~~ 149/192 in the contest. Next pick: Ganondorf > Luigi BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I've always supported Squall > Ganon, but I'm not so sure anymore.
With everything we've seen, I'm starting to think Squall overperformed
on Vincent in 2K5, and I'm not taking much of anything out of his match
with Snake last year. I really don't know who I'd pick if a match were
to happen today. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

I'd probably take Squall. Ganon doesn't really seem to have got any

stronger from KH2. --- "To be forgotten is worse than death"-Freya FFIX |

I am less concerned with Squall > Gannon than I would be Squall > Auron after seeing Aurons match this year. Perhaps if Squall crushed Aeris AND Sora (and laura) close to the same way his last fourpack went. Which would assume Squall (and Aeris) will SFF Sora to hell. KB |
