Right
now you're two points up on me(lol Kratos Aurion). You'll be at that
distance until WCC > Boss which will put you 4 up. Then 6 up when
Subby beats Roxas. Then you outright eliminated me if Dante beats Ryu I
believe, because at that point there will be no way for me to make up
the 8 points even with Tifa beating Gordon. --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

I'm
not impressed by Missingno's pic myself. It's not clear what exactly it
is- it's not universally recognizable like L-Block, certainly. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

I wonder if HG/SS hype is helping out Pikachu too as well as the reveals of the 5th generation this week --- http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/5665/snapshot20100201130420.png http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4007/snapshot20100201131229.png |

Oh well you're going t be 8 up anyways when Riku presumably beats Captain Falcon. Ryu can save me though. COME ON RYU! --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

From: ExThaNemesis | #045 Oh man I just realized that no matter what I can't defeat ngirl unless WCC somehow jobs to the Boss(not happening) or Sub-Zero loses. ...I'm eliminated already. =( Ryu > Dante AND Peach > Freeman should mean you win, even assuming WCC and Subby win. --- Though I didn't look THAT carefully. |

From: nintendogirl1 | #060 You shall be relegated to second place in our rivalry, bwahahaha.(see what I did there) From: charmander6000 | #059 Because The Boss is pretty goddamn weak and WCC just pulled an elite-status beat down.

I
think L-Block was more telling of a joke character's strength. If you
think the L-Block would win over WCC with ease (~60%) then The Boss has
a chance. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 42/50 - Today's Winners: Pikachu and Ellis |

From: ExThaNemesis | #061 You shall be relegated to second place in our rivalry, bwahahaha.(see what I did there) And despite your "superior status", you're still going to win absolutely nothing, because you can't manage to work out where you've been going wrong year after year even if I waved a giant sign in front of your face. Anyone could see you're going nowhere fast. Even I know enough to turn down Sol Cam- Nathan Drake who is never going to be worth anything despite what the quality of their game might have been in the past. --- Should've italixed second as well btw. |

Ngirl,
you are fast becoming one of my favourite users. You play Bioshock,
post in the football thread, do the oracle, give ExTha stick (I like
you too though ExTha!) and sticks the boot into Arsenal too! Bravo. --- PSN ~ Soidisant Oracle Challenge 2k10 ~~~ Individual: 5th ~~~ Team: 3rd (Partner BZer0) |

Good stuff. • Bioshock 1 is my #2 game of this Gen behind Portal • I'm a Geordie, how the hell can I not get behind the Toon and post about it? • I'd be kicking ass in the oracle if I stopped fallling asleep before submitting my entries. • ExTha banter is fun.

Me too if I didn't keep changing my predictions last minute (I'd be leading by like 12 ish >_>) Yes, especially when Arsenal are faltering Hell YEAH! Just as long as Leeds stay down there too! Not worried about Missingno. Should be an entertaining start if nothing else but I honestly don't think Crono has anything to worry about. Maybe if it had been a few rounds into the contest with a bandwagon behind it. --- PSN ~ Soidisant Oracle Challenge 2k10 ~~~ Individual: 5th ~~~ Team: 3rd (Partner BZer0) |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/10/2010 7:37:06 AM | message detail |
Missingno
has an outside chance of winning, but Crono is and should be the huge
favorite coming in. If L-Block couldn't pull it up, I can't see
Missingno pulling it off. People seem to forget just how strong Crono
is. He may have fallen, but he's still at the level of Vincent and
Squall. He's certainly no Sonic, where I might have actually been
tempted in taking the Missingno upset. In all honesty, Crono probably gets ~65% on Missingno. But hell, Missingno has a much better chance of upsetting Crono than Yoshi. --- Not Wylvane |

L Block has joke votes, Missingno has joke votes and the Pokemon fanbase. THIS COMBINATION IS NOT TO BE UNDERESTIMATED. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

From: The n00b Avenger | #072 L Block has joke votes, Missingno has joke votes and the Pokemon fanbase. THIS COMBINATION IS NOT TO BE UNDERESTIMATED. Why hello there Bidoof. What's that? You got crushed by Vincent? And vincent is equal to Crono? OK. --- Thanks for letting me know. |
The n00b Avenger | Posted 2/10/2010 7:48:57 AM | message detail |
If
you wanted to make a better comparison, you would use Mudkip. Bidoof is
like a fad not a lot of people even know about. And even the Mudkip fad
is nothing compared to Missingno. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

don't expect L-Block to get very many votes from the Tetris fanbase
that Missingno would get from the Pokemon fanbase, or WCC from the
Portal fanbase. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

Crono
will probably rock this thing pretty bad. I'd be surprised if it
managed to avoid getting doubled. I imagine the crazy Pokemon freakz
are good enough to get at least 25%, so I don't see Crono tripling it,
but this won't be close. --- wheresoever you go, go with all your heart |

So
Crono might lose?If that happens then I believe a lot of brackets are
screwed.Personally I also have him beating Yoshi.I guess we shall see
if Crono's popularity has finally fallen a lot.Man where are the days
when he defeated Mario? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |

I
just hope the people who think Missingno will cause the upset also go
for that in the Oracle. I can see why people think it might happen but
I don't think I'll be biting. --- PSN ~ Soidisant Oracle Challenge 2k10 ~~~ Individual: 5th ~~~ Team: 3rd (Partner BZer0) |

managed to avoid getting doubled. I imagine the crazy Pokemon freakz
are good enough to get at least 25%, so I don't see Crono tripling it,
but this won't be close. Anything more than a doubling seems out of reach for Crono. L-Block got 46.37% on Crono the first time and then got 43.92% on Crono in the next round. Also, I looked at the Oracle right now and the average Crono prediction is at 61.08% right now, not counting the one Missingno prediction.

Missingo
will not be L-Block, or even close in all likelihood. I'm not sure
where people are getting the idea this thing will even be noteworthy.
Unless you think people are so crazed about Pokemon that they'll vote
for it no matter what, or that people hate Crono that much or
something, but a 'joke character' doesn't come out of the gate

Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/10/2010 8:03:22 AM | message detail |
From: ZFS | #079 A doubling is Missingno's floor, IMO, and even then that's unlikely. Crono got 53.64% on L-Block in Round 2 and 56.08% on Round 3, and Missingno should be just as recognizable considering how huge RBY is here. No reason Missingno can't break 40% barring being very weak, which is unlikely considering he dominated his vote-in poll without a pic despite huge LFF. It's foolish to think Missingno doesn't have a small chance at an upset, and pretty ****ing idiotic to expect Missingno to struggle to get 30%. --- Not Wylvane |
