you know how we always say joke characters have static percentage?

50.3% seems enough to win the contest imo

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....

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.


Missingno's barely beating Crono, a character who's bad during the day, in a day match. And I'd say that this match is more about how far Chrono Trigger's fallen than anything else, really. I'd expect Sephiroth to get at least 60% on Crono.

This brings up an interesting question if Missing No keeps this momentum go. How exactly would the fanfic writers of this board write for him? >_>

Time | Crono
1:00 | 48.85%
2:00 | 48.57%
3:00 | 50.06%
4:00 | 49.90%
5:00 | 50.80%
6:00 | 50.49%
7:00 | 48.58%

Something seems off about that.

people don't seem to understand the point of a bandwagon. L Block went from losing to Kirby easily in round 1 to almost going even with Snake in round 3. If Missingno even gets close to that kinda boost from bangwagoning, then Seph is done.

Regardless of whether or not how much CT has fallen, the fact remains that he's breaking the Noble Nine chain.

Having only two updates where you pull over 300 votes will do that to you in a high-votal match.

Figures I go get a nice fettuccine alfredo and get laid really good for Valentine's, and Crono bombs the entire time.

Now I come back, he cuts 56 votes. PRIORITIES.

Sonic and Megaman will be passed within another hour.

A 56 vote cut is an aberration, but it's indicative of a trend, as long as the Missingno ralliers don't panic and start up another hour of rallying.

A lot of that was Missingno falling off a cliff. Yes, Crono's votes went up, but Missingno's collapsed.

And another huge Crono cut. Cut of 43!

Votals projection back over 89,000 to 89,036. Assuming this ends 50/50, both Crono and Missingno would beat out Mario in votes and thus beat out every night match winner with the sole exception of Link in votes.

Because I'm all for upsets and exciting matches, not the same old same old. And if its Crono that has to fall for the noble nine to fall, then so be it.

Crono getting bandwagoned to victory this year would be way more surprising than Missingno repeating L-Block's run!
