Wouldn't
be surprised at all if Frog got more nominations than Magus. Magus was
highly nominated in 2004 and 2005 when we thought he was Potential
Noble Nine Breaker #1, but since then Frog has become even more of a
contest legend while Magus has become famous for being the biggest
failure in contest history. --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |

Ive
never understood why we always say that Magus is such a failure... he
never did anything to earn the hype we gave him, so its more that we
overhyped him then he really has done all that bad himself --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Vote Vault Boy! |

And this one, so as to eliminate the excuse of SFF in the Megaman match: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1774 --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |

c/p from my topic: I sent a ticket to Bacon complaining about Zoey and Louis in the same poll and he sent back this: Aerith and Cid in the same poll too, but no complaints there? Still, you won't be completely disappointed. So, yeah, Aeris and Cid are different because they're going to be powerful regardless of a split, so that really isn't fair. Also, what does he mean by "not completely disappointed?" Maybe a L4D2 character got in? Or maybe he just means in the bracket as a whole. Either way, does that mean he's done with the bracket? --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |

I
just hope he's figured out by now that SFF makes for bad matches. I
mean, this was clear after 2004, and it should be obvious by now. --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |
ZenOfThunder | Posted 12/14/2009 4:09:13 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
I dunno how he didn't see the flaw of putting characters from the same
series in the same match, especially ones with a limited fanbase like
Zoey and Louis. --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |

He means Francis is already in the bracket, clearly! --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
KleenexTissue50 | Posted 12/14/2009 4:11:54 PM | message detail |
I
know you're an L4D fan and everything Zen, but even if you assumed 100%
overlap and combined Zoey and Louis's votes, they still only get about
10%, which was only enough for 4th in that particular poll. They're
pretty much fodder anyway. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/14/2009 4:12:34 PM | message detail |
Why would you complain about Cid and Aerith being in the same poll when they got first and second place anyway? --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

i like sff it makes people whine which is always good. Plus im mainly a fan of games and all thats not heavily SFF'd (im not a nintendo fan) so thats why it doesnt bother me --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Vote Vault Boy! |

From: KleenexTissue50 | #212 I'd still like a rep in the poll. I don't mind if it's fodder; I'm more about just seeing my favorite characters on the front page. --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |

Sent in a feedback form: I have "a question or concern" about Character Battle 8. My concern is that despite being a contest staple and being the only character to have featured in the main bracket of every contest to date CATS will be ineligible to enter as a result of the Vote-In Polls. Should you fail to include him, people will ask "What happen" when the main bracket turn on. The Contest Board will riot because they believe that all your contests are belong to them. You will be on the path to destruction and people will ask you what you say when they announce that the bracket has no chance to survive and must make it's time. They will hold a minor and mostly irrelavant boycott of the contest to remove all vote for great justice. And I'll be sad. See how it turns out I guess. --- Who knows! |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #217 you know theres issues with this board when people would honestly complain when a turbo fodder character doesnt make the bracket when there will be actual snubs to complain about Who cares? I don't really give a damn, but it's a spot of fun and I think Bacon enjoys the contests. Will it actually be a major travesty? Of course not, but it gives us something to occupy our time with until the bracket gets released. --- Have a joke! |

And who exactly are these snubs that are more important than CATS? Anyone that doesn't make the bracket. --- 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 |

I'll
say that not all of our suggestions are necessarily good though. The
single biggest thing we got CJayC to change was the poll start time,
which 3 years later I'm not sure was such a great idea. --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |

Judging by those division names, the 1 seeds are... Link Sonic (Assuming it really is Chaos) Mario Sora Samus Cloud Snake Sephiroth --- The Gamer In Me My Signature's broken, just like your front door. |

If
you look at the BGE polls, the "current' division is displayed in the
bottom. Change the poll numbers around to get all of them. Guess this means the bracket pretty soon. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/14/2009 4:48:53 PM | message detail |
Sora is probably Heart, since he's been a 1 seed before. At least it looks like we'll get Snake/Sephy. Samus/Cloud not so great. Sonic finally gets to face Link. --- "Hold on a minute!
