6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno

And you guys are really overreacting here about Missingno winning. Crono's pretty damn strong, but Missingno's just barely beating him. He should have little trouble with Yoshi (though Yoshi could pull off a win here), but I'm doubting Missingno will pick up enough steam to beat Sephiroth. It's a huge jump from Crono to Sephiroth, after all, and I don't think Missingno's going to get past Sephy.

MissingNo had the toughest possible opponent

Link is here!?


Realistically, of course. Since it did so well in the vote-ins it obviously wouldn't get a 16 seed. And Crono tends to be a bit underseeded.

Is it too early to call it and say that Missingno won? Also, I can't wait to read this match's article on b8 wikia.
Jman_maximum | Posted 2/14/2010 8:00:02 PM | message detail
This was dicussed earlier, Crono turd of the round or Missingno star of the round or both?

neither

its a joke character. this match is 100% worthless when determining contest strength.
KanzarisKelshen | Posted 2/14/2010 8:00:08 PM | message detail
Don't give up like this, Crono. You can't do this! Even Mario would be willing to lend his clutch for the comeback here!

Seriously, what a horrible way for everything to end. :(

...or you will break the Noble Nine...AGAIN

People said the exact same things about L-Block gaining enough momentum to win his matches too a few years back.

lol 4-ways but L-Block went from around 41% on Kirby to something like 46% on Snake from Round 1 to Round 3.

I think it's silly to count Sephiroth out, but that you also can't just write Missingno out just because Sephiroth is obviously a much stronger opponent than Crono.

MissingNo ralliers would be totally torn on the L-Block/Charizard match.

I love that Pokemon is finally getting some real clout in the contests. Only the first gen, yeah, but better than nothing (not counting Mudkip and Bidoof).

this isn't a standard 1 on 1 match after all,its a 12 hour one (and it seems pretty obvious that Crono would win in a normal match too)

I can just imagine Crono appealing to the other Niners in a last desperate bid.

Cloud: You have my sword.
Sephiroth: And my sword.
Link: *silently gives Crono his sword*
Mario: *stares at Crono* ...*shakes head*
Link: *stomps on Mario's foot*
Mario: *hastily tosses Crono a mushroom*

I've always said the 4way NN losses were not legit. But this is definitely legit if Missingno pulls it off. It would have won a 24 hour match. Looks like we got a Terrific Ten now (the "been in all contests" rule is lame IMO).

Missingno is usually over level 100. you can rare candy it up to 255 then it resets to 0 right after. At least it did that in my version.
