Its happened less than the 124 times a noble niner has won in a row in 1v1s!

Just at random? Or was there any logic used beyond the #1 seeds? Looking at the Genova division, the #1, 4, 5, 8 & 13 seeds would all beat any charachter in the lower half. The only ones that might be close would be Yoshi vs Tifa or Gordon, even so, I think Yoshi wins.

Well, at this pace, it's looking like a done deal. Crono's about to save the Noble Nine.

It was also a done deal back when Crono pushed the lead to 350. If he can push it under that, then we'll start talking.

Crono's had loads of failed comebacks in this match...this is probably just another false dawn.

Crono's only had 1 failed comeback, against Mario in 2002. The other close matches he lost were matches he was leading, and was then destroyed by Europe or the day vote or both.

It would be hilarious for Crono to go from being in the finals to losing in the first round.

We also haven't discussed Tifa > Crono > Vincent. I would like to see some discussion there.
red sox 777 | Posted 2/14/2010 4:42:38 PM | message detail
Gah, bad update. Crono falls off a lot while Missingno rises a lot.

And that was Missingno's second best update of the match. His best one was the first update after the freeze occurred.

pretty obvious what's going on

whenever crono starts cutting consistently missingno spikes out of nowhere

yeah...>_>

Fair enough. Poor Protoman, I bet he could've got a win had he not been a 16.


Also, I really like the in-depth analysis the regulars on this board give for close matches like this. Keep it up guys!

you mean whenever Missingno spikes, Crono starts cutting out of nowhere!

It's all about perspective you see.

Go to sleep already, Europe! Actually, I just noticed, Crono is winning most of the European countries (most of which are at GMT +1), but he's losing the British Isles and Portugal all of which are on GMT.

Missingno still went down in North America.

Geolocation updates every 10 minutes so, so he must have went down in North America as a result of the update before that recent one where Crono got a 44 vote cut.

Yeah, something's not right here. I'd say randomness can't be checked, but when something happens continually in this match like clockwork every time it's looking a bit odd.

Crono gets most of it back, trend reestablished.
