Missingno is the best thing about RB. Pokemon fans are lame.

Pokemon is general is pretty lame... Which makes Missingno pretty lame too...


Agree with the first part of that statement.

Missingno is cool for being a glitch with an awesome name, and now it's even better for embarassing Crono.

If Crono can't beat him, why would Yoshi?

This is Pokemon vs. CT. Next match is Pokemon vs. Mario.

What does it being Pokemon vs Mario have to do with anything? Pokemon has always avoided SFF from Nintendo characters, there's no way Yoshi being there instead is going to affect Missingno.

If Missingno wins here, he's the huge favorite to reach Snake. Nintendo fans will have no need to support Yoshi, and Seph won't be able to catch up after a scary first hour. Once he beats Seph, Tifa/Gordon will pose no threat, and then it's a date with Snake in the quarters. A beloved guy like Snake can conceivably end its run, but it won't be easy against an entrant that beat Seph. If Missingno beats Snake, Cloud won't pose much trouble, meaning it'll be a Link/no finals showdown for all the marbles.

Even if Crono advances, anyone without Charizard > Sora/Bowser may as well burn their brackets now, because Char is clearly torching his division and will likely do a great job against Mario.

Just a bit of final analysis for you guys. I hope these new guys stick around and enjoy the contest. =)

A rallied joke versus the cadaver previously known as Chrono Trigger is not the same as beating the fan favorite Nintendo character. The whole group of near-elite Nintendo fan favorites (Yoshi, Bowser, Kirby, Luigi) should win that 1v1 easily.

Today is really all about the fall of CT above anything else.

IF Nintendo fans are smart, they'd vote for Missingno. Yoshi has no chance at Seph, so if they want to knock out Seph, Missingno is their man.

Seems strange to storm off in a huff over a Missingno win, that's something I'd expect of a lesser user than Yoblazer. So I presume there's some sort of bet?

Missingno's definitely not a lock to beat Yoshi, but you'd be crazy not to think he's at least the favorite there, considering Frog looked decent against Bowser and Crono has no reason to take a total nosedive, not to mention Missingno doing incredibly well in a poll with Jigglypuff and fellow joke Pokey Mudkip.

Can't blame them, though.

If a flavor of the year joke is just going to win every time, is it really worth paying attention to the contests any more? We ***** about Link, but there's always potential for a shift in time. With jokes winning every year, we get the same tired result, but zero "originality" complaints since it's just a new face winning every year. No desire for change, no hope for the contests.

**** sucks.

I will never understand all this Pokemon love.

Well, Crono broke the Noble Nine in 4-ways, and he'll break the Noble Nine in 1-on-1s. Way to make Sonic's next two rounds totally pointless!

But I'd still rather have Missingno break the Noble Nine than Ganondorf!

Yes, because L-Block totally won last year therefore making it clear that joke characters always win.

And then what? What does that accomplish? If you need a new joke character every year to take Link down, what exactly have you done other than making another path in this contest easy to predict?

If Missingno wins this contest, expect him to get the same treatment that L-Block got in his second contest where he was being anti-voted in round 2 and round 3. So I don't expect Missingno to pull off 2 contest wins at all.

Crono ties his biggest cut of the match with 17 there. The votals pace has fallen off a bit, so our projection based on Price/MMX is back below 90,000.

So they'll just nominate a different, unused joke character and watch it all happen again.

I didn't mean you when it came to leaving. I meant Sox and Yoblazer. But seriously, is it not boring having Link win every year? Would you rather know the winner before the contest even starts, or have a chance at having a different winner? I know my choice is obvious
