Also,
I'm not sure if Yoshimitsu being in this poll is good news or bad news
for the NRT. He was the least nominated of the five, I think. I don't
know if it's going to be this same group of people tomorrow with some
options removed or if it's going to be a completely different set of
characters. I must admit that I like this poll idea though. It's pretty neat. I just wish I knew exactly what Bacon was planning to do with this. Oh and before I forget, LOL Raiden --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

From: LeonhartFour | #201 Most of us are thinking it'll be several days of different groups of characters, with the top 4 or 6 each day making the bracket. Something like 96 of the characters are locked in and we choose the final 32. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Nominate Vault Boy! |

After
a bit of searching on 4chan, I see that someone made a post there about
voting for Mudkip. It was at posted at 8:25:15 AM and at 8:27 AM,
Mudkip got a 8.12% update. After that, the insane updates for Mudkip
started. Here are the later updates for Mudkip (starting from 8:32 AM):
16.08%, 17.71%, 13.12%, 14.10%, 14.54%, 16.90%, 10.59%, 14.10%, 15.07%,
14.81%, 12.88%, 17.25% (most recent at 9:27 AM) --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

It's
amazing that Missingno is doing so well considering he's relying
entirely on name recognition. You think if this was L-Block's first
poll, he'd do as well here without a pic? He's got real legitimate
strength. Now imagine Missingno with a pic. That should be insane. --- Not Wylvane |

Wow missingno took quite the drop overnight, it should still win either way. 1. Missingno 2. The Boss 3. Lightning 4. Axel 5. Scorpion 6. Mudkip 7. Toad 8. Alex Mercer 9. Raiden 10. Dan Hibiki 11. Yoshimitsu 12. Jigglypuff What happened to Raiden? The Boss must be doing a number on him. Scorpion, I have no idea what to think besides joke voted Missingno he was likely the strongest character of the bunch and right now he's in a losing battle against Axel. As for future polls, anyone that wasn't in the top 10 in the rally topic and needed a massive board rally is probably not on here. For those that are in the top 10 the only ones that might avoid a write-in vote are Prinny and Charizard and even they relied on massive board support. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

I
hope SB does this like how I did the game-NRT a long time ago: rerun
the poll four times, with each day removing the winner and two biggest
losers. We would see Missingno advance while Jiggly and Yoshimitsu be
removed for a nine-way poll with less Nintendo/Pokemon/fighter-LFF/SFF,
gradually remove the Square/MGS-SFF, help ensure we're getting the most
wanted characters (not necessarily strongest), plus the more we focus
on these characters the less likely we'll see other characters we
rallied for be at risk in other polls. For as cool of a poll as this
is, I don't want to see lots of characters "on the edge" or whatever
unless lots of characters from each poll (more than half) make it into
the contest and this is used just to eliminate some that aren't very
good choices. Just saying, I'm not going to like it if Doc's in a poll with any other Nintendo character, especially if Little Mac is also on the edge (and after seeing some familiar faces in the poll today, he very well could be). --- Please nominate DOC LOUIS from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

Also,
just gonna throw this out there...does anybody think MGS3-n-gang has
gotten stronger over the years? It clearly looked stronger this year in
BGE2 than it did in 2004's GotY-polls and it seems like Big Boss was
stronger than before last year (if it wasn't for Raiden, he would have
beaten Sonic instead of Kirby). Perhaps The Boss has grown a bit in
strength as well? --- Please nominate DOC LOUIS from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! T E A M C H O C O L A T E |

Woo Lightning. Probably gonna end up MissingNo. > Boss > Axel > Lightning at the end of the day, so let's hope the top 4 get in this !

Man,
I wake up, and find...THIS. Words cannot describe my feelings here. On
one hand, I'm loling hysterically at Missingno. being here and crushing
the competition (I love that glitch, Rare Candies and Master Balls were
sooooo useful). On the other hand, seeing The Boss winning is odd, and
the battle between Axel and Scorpion is interesting. Oh, and once again
KH acts like a completely independent entity. This is certainly one
poll for which to take out the popcorn. PS: Speaking of which, could somebody post the mjpop .gif? --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

Nah,
MissingNo. are safe to catch. The Hall of Fame will get messed up, but
no data will get permanently corrupted. If you catch a level 0 'M and
try to store withdraw it from the PC, the game might lock up, but the
data won't get messed up. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |
KamikazePotato | Posted 12/8/2009 9:56:53 AM | message detail |
Psh. I caught Missingno too, you just have to know the rules that go with catching him. 1. If Missingno gets stored in your PC, he will screw things up. So, when catching him, have an empty slot in your party. 2. Missingno can be used tin battle with without any repercussions, although he can only use Sky Attack, Water Gun, and Water Gun. 3. Once Missingno receives any amount of exp, he will level up to Level 100 (even if he was already over Level 100) and evolve into Kanghaskan (results may vary). 4. One Missingno has 'evolved', storing him in the PC is safe. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

From: Psycho_Kenshin | #225 If you're an MGS fan, you know the difference between The Boss and Big Boss. Plus, Big Boss is popular because of MGS3, so if you like Big Boss, you've probably played MGS3, which means you know The Boss. --- "So cold. I am always by your side."

Axel
has been making significant gains on Lightning since the ASV kicked
off. He'll pass her in 2 to 3 hours at the current pace. Axel's gains
on The Boss probably aren't enough to knock her out, though. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality. Never forget..." |
red sox 777 | Posted 12/8/2009 12:56:44 PM | message detail |
Hmm,
Axel's about 50 ahead of where he was 2 hours ago against Boss. Don't
know whether he lost some before 3 and then gained it all back and more
or not though, which makes a difference as to his chances of passing
her. I think he'll probably do it though- unlike Nintendo, Kingdom
Hearts only gets stronger as the ASV goes on and that strength
continues right on into the SNV. --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |

Over
the last hour, Axel gained 112 votes on Lightning and 76 on The Boss.
The bulk of the 112 against Lightning came from the first 30 minutes
after the ASV hit. During the second half of the hour, Lightning was
stalling Axel. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality. Never forget..." |

Axel's
really surprising me here. I'd have figured he'd be turbofodder levels,
and his 30% on Mega Man was just a result of KH2 being so recent.
Unless the spinoff games have given him staying power (assuming he's in
them, I stay away from that garbage franchise). Also, anybody find it odd that Toad was specified as being in "SMB2" while noone else was given a specific game (aside from Lightning, but that's to be expected) --- http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Hey
NGamer, I was playing around on the Wiki (good stuff right there) and
fond myself drawn to follow Pokémon R/B/Y's astonishing path in BGE2. Would it be possible to implement into all the contest matches an "in the next round" link somewhere prominent to see what happened in the next round to the character/game(s) that won the match you're currently looking at? And by the same token, a "previous round", though that would require two links, one for each feeder match. With for example "Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow and Majora's Mask in the Previous Round" and "Metal Gear Solid and Pokemon Gold/Silver in the Previous Round" --- Just a thought. |
Ngamer64 | Posted 12/8/2009 3:00:22 PM | message detail |
Thanks for the kind words, missy. Yes, Carvey and I have had talks on this subject, and in fact he even began putting those "Next Round" links into place last year. For an example see http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Zack_vs_Wario_vs_Cecil_vs_Jade_Curtiss_2008 But he must got gotten bored, as he didn't finish '08 or bring those over to BGE2. I'll talk to him about it. --- KrahenProphet is the King of the Gurus! All Hail! thengamer.com/guru | thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com |

Ngamer64 | Posted 12/8/2009 3:06:20 PM | message detail |
And now for a BOLD PREDICTION If tonight's poll is these same options but pared down (as in Miss advanced into the bracket and bottom options Yoshi and Jiggly cut out), then we're looking at a 64 character bracket. Most likely with 60 locked in already and these Play-Ins deciding the final 4 spots. If tonight's poll features 12 entirely new options, it will be because 96 were locked to start, meaning we're back to a 128 character bracket. (And almost certainly tag teams.) I'm... kind of leaning toward it being the latter at the moment. But I'd sure prefer it to be the former! --- KrahenProphet is the King of the Gurus!

Cyclo_Reaper | Posted 12/8/2009 3:08:32 PM | message detail |
I'm
pretty sure it'll be the latter, because some of these characters seem
kinda odd to be on the edge of a 64 entry contest. I mean seriously, a
character not even on the nom list and doesnt even have a game out got
enough noms to be on the edge of 64 entries? I find that hard to believe --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Nominate Vault Boy! |
