Yeah, feedback ticket: GameFAQs Feedback I have a suggestion for the Poll of the Day. Message From HaRRicH on 06/03/2009 Could you please double-check the legitimacy of the SMB1/SMB3/SMW/LoZ-poll? It has had some very weird trends and a particularly large spike for SMB1 near the very end of the match. Here is a graph from www.gamefaqscontests.com about how they went per update, if you like: http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=3502&type=1&seconds=60&max=0 It's a big match to many of us, and it would mean a LOT to hear you comment on the match's results. Thank you. Message From GameFAQs on 06/03/2009 Nothing unusual at all, no weird voting patterns, not much to say. New voters (first visit during the poll): SMB 10.6% Zelda 31.1% SMB3 27.7% SMW: 30.6% Final 10000 votes: SMB: 9.98% Zelda: 29.3% SMB3: 28.1% SMW: 28.0% New user votes in the final 10000: SMB: 10.3% Zelda: 29.8% SMB3: 29.3% SMW: 30.6% --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

I'm
also going to send SB a feedback ticket asking for him to double-check
for cheating in this battle since it's erratic and such a close match
with a potentially-massive upset. If Missingno does this and breaks the
Noble Nine in his first match, it needs to do it fairly. I remember the last time he checked for cheating. He give us percentages on what the match results looked like when you only considered the votes from anonymous users, which are votes that are made from people who didn't vote from an account. He also gave us the percentages on what the match results looked like when you considered only the votes that were made while logged into an account. I think SB should add a feature on the poll results page where you can see what the poll results looks like from anonymous users only and from registered users only. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

This
is easy guys, we just need 528 Crono fans to rally one friend each and
rely on the night vote to finish Missingo. Contest saved! Except you
can't rally anybody who was going to vote anyway, and Missingno needs
to inexplicably stall and not push back when Crono finally ties it. Yeah, not looking too good for Crono, but sometimes you gotta believe! --- Guru contest: 56/59 (T1) Misses: Boss, Altair, Kefka. Next big match: Big Daddy > Soap |

For reference, there are a lot more people on twitter for Missingno, including 9 in the last hour, compared to Crono's 17 for the entire match. Probably doesn't amount to much, but you never know. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

Oh, rallied MissingNo > anti-voted Sephiroth. The real question now is Snake/MissingNo. Can Snake redeem his loss to L-Block? |

While
this is funny to laugh at Missingno beating crono, it's really sad how
a joke character is going to win this contest again just like L-Block
did a couple years back. It's going to ruin a good contest. --- AKA Super Luigi. Go Samus. Ness. Solid Snake. Mario. (2K10 Character Contest) |

If Missingno can get past Sephiroth then the only obstacle left is Link, and even that is extremely shaky. The bandwagon can only grow after Sephiroth, and I only even mention Link because he's pretty much the resident Contest God, if anyone could stop it at that point, it'd be him, but even that's doubtful. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

Jman_maximum | Posted 2/14/2010 4:01:36 PM | message detail |
these things shouldn't even be eligible in the first place but i guess that's part of what makes them "funny" to people. at this point i don't really see anything funny in this, we all already know that joke characters have potential to be contest winners, so the funny part is gone. why don't people rally for a totally random character instead? CATS winning the contest would be 100 times more funny than any cubes ,blocks, road bricks or whatever. |
RPGuy96 | Posted 2/14/2010 4:01:48 PM | message detail |
Fortunately,
the only reasonably interesting match in the bottom half that MissingNo
could screw up is Snake/Sephiroth. For once it's kind of a good thing
that the later rounds of bottom half of the bracket are so bad. --- Mustache...and Green... |

The
last hour and a half have been horrible for Crono. Well, there's still
5 hours left. Plenty of time to make up 572 votes in 1v1, if Crono will
make a move. --- 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.... |

From: Solid_Mike86 | #223 Christ, this is far from set in stone. I remember Lopen laughably saying that L-Block was "basically Link now" after he won his first round match in 08. Link then won the contest routinely while L-Block lost to Pikachu (and Crono, funnily enough). If Missingno wins this he'll likely beat Yoshi, but I can't see him beating Sephiroth in a million years. --- "Go and read some more Wikipedia I'm sure they have a good article on spases." - Lil69Leo |

Snake vs Seph was one of the most anticipated matches in this contest though |
KleenexTissue50 | Posted 2/14/2010 4:03:59 PM | message detail |
It
is a bit of a bummer that we finally get a 1v1 and something like this
happens, but I'm not convinced that Missingno has what it takes to get
through Yoshi and Sephiroth yet. Then again, that's what we were saying after Round 1 in 2007, so who knows. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |
HaRRicH | Posted 2/14/2010 4:04:53 PM | message detail |
Missingno's
barely beating Crono in a day-match. Sephiroth probably 60-40's Crono
or close to it. Assuming Missingno pulls the upset off, it then faces
Sephiroth in a night-match. This is a killer performance, but this
isn't Sephiroth-killer material either, and the bandwagon will take a
break next round with Yoshi anyway. Not that taking a break with
Kingdom Hearts stopped Starcraft between Halo and LoZ:WW, but neither
of those games are close to Sephiroth-tier either. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

why are people even mentioning Yoshi? is there some weird unknown factor that makes Yposhi SFF joke characters or something i'm unaware of? Missingno is beating Crono right now, a much stronger character. he doesn't even need a bandwagon to easily cruise by Yoshi. |

Well
if Missingno draws from Nintendo and joke votes then Yoshi could take
away the Nintendo side(similar to Snake's brawl hype power being sapped
by Nintendo) It's not impossible --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Im
sorry, but if people are going to do everything they can to have
Missingno beat CRONO, then i see no reason why it cant happen against
Sephiroth. Sure Sephy is stronger, but people will still rally for the
joke character. --- AKA Super Luigi. Go Samus. Ness. Solid Snake. Mario. (2K10 Character Contest) |
