This
match would be better if we hadn't seen this exact thing last round,
except put the two games, what, 400 votes closer and toss in LttP
making both look bad. --- http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j69/War13104/CenaJFrog.gif hey look i'm war and i'm stupid - WVI |

It's
hard to get excited about all-day stalls. We need big time comebacks
like Sandbag/Magus to really get excited about anything in this format,
honestly. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

I
think the only long stall match I'm interested in was Crono/Vincent II
because Crono's epic day stall just made absolutely no sense. But even
then, had it not been for Crono's comeback at the end, the stall would
probably have meant nothing to me. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

So ZFS and Leon did not enjoy what was easily the best match ever? ALttP vs CT? Can't say I am that surprised honestly. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted. Posted by Mark Milton |

CT/LttP
was the one match where I did. Partly because CT is one of my favorite
games, partly because it was a match that mattered with games that
mattered. Super Metroid and Mario Kart fighting for second to lost next
round -- who cares? --- a metal slime appears |

It's also been abundantly clear for hours Mario Kart would win. I don't think so. The small SMK uptrend looks over. The last hour has been a stall slightly favoring Metroid. If this continues, the edge goes to Samus unless Kart really fights (gets rallied) at the end. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Cell phones. Hmm? I'm not immediately getting this. Although, this sounds vaguely familiar. As for stalls, I thought we were talking about in the 4-way format. Not that I would put LttP/CT in the Top 5 matches anyway. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

LeonhartFour | Posted 5/13/2009 7:00:31 PM | message detail |
And
for some reason, all day back-and-forth affairs are much more exciting
in a one-on-one environment. Matches like Frog/Liquid and CT/LTTP were
thrilling. Actually, I think matches like this are boring because insta-updates are gone. You have to wait five minutes to see if anything happened. That's part of what made Kefka/Vercetti epic. We would have never known about those BARRIERS with 5 minute updates. Yeah, I know people like Ulti are against it and want even 15 minute updates back, but it makes matches like this boring. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

Mario Kart won the last hour last time, and big. Super Metroid won the last two hours of the match, and big. I don't know what match you saw. Both are right. Super Metroid won overall during the last 2 hours, but SMK won the last hour, just not enough to cancel out what Metroid did beforehand. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

10:59:02 - Metroid leads by 241 12:00:00 - Metroid wins by 154 In a prolonged stall match, I consider 90 votes in an hour pretty big. And tonight, way more people want Mario Kart to win than in Round 1. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ "You are the king of derailing topics, by the way." -Lucid |

bingo. put this 1 on 1 and it means something instead of two games fighting for 19%. anyway, this was Super Metroid's hour last time, so maybe we'll get a close match. but I'm skeptical of following the trends of that match because it was so damn weird. --- xyzzy |

The contest is boring because: A) Too much turbofodder crap got in because of 128 entrants B) Games are once again separated by generation, meaning we miss great potential matches like Mario World vs Brawl for example C) Now that we have a handle on where these games are, the rest of the contest is pretty predictable D) 4-ways completely defeat the purpose of seeing which game is better because of all the SFF. --- http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

There was no instant updates in Kefka/Cetti According to this page, there were: http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Tommy_Vercetti_vs_Kefka_2005 At around 12:30 AM EST, CJayC implemented updates on the poll, and right in the middle of a match. This was a clear sign that something odd was going on, and a few people started calling for Vercetti's victory fanfare already. Unlike 2002/2003, the poll updates were in five minute increments rather than fifteen. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

Yeah,
I couldn't remember if Ceej brought back updates during the match or
the one after it, but there were definitely insta-updates for most of
the match until cheat votes were taken away. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #431 In the 3 years we have done this god awful format, I have two, literally two matches which I would even put top 20 matches all time. And they both involved a fun little rat and Crono (though Pikachu was not important in the least in the second, just kind of there). Crono>Pikachu>L Block>The Plan Samus>Crono>Vincent>Save Us Rat. And it is probably stretching it to put the first one up there, since the match actually sucked, it was just incredibly fun watching that ****ing block burn to someone who nearly lost to Parapa the Rapper once. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted.

Honestly, the good matches in this format have involved a CT character or Pikachu. Kinda weird.
