That was a legit cut. The last one... >_>

Crono's last 3 updates have been within 6 votes of each other (253, 254, and 248 in order). Missingno just dropped in the middle one (233, 209, 237).


*shrugs*

Then I tip my hat. That was a great cut. Missingo just gained 3.

This match is why 1v1 is so awesome.

Agreed, though taking a break from it for 2 years was nice. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and made 1v1 new all over again.

And there is again, another update that got over 500 votes. Seems like rallying/stuffing going on. There is only one other match where there some updates that got over 500 votes or more during the last 2 hours. That was the L-Block/Link final match of 2007.

Match LXI: (3) Soap MacTavish vs. (14) Big Daddy

Information

Name: Soap MacTavish
Game/Series: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Previous Contest: N/A
Performance: N/A

Name: Big Daddy
Game/Series: Bioshock
Previous Contest: 2008
Performance: 4th in round 1

Analysis

This match didn’t really get the attention it deserved, especially when Price was able to have a respectable performance at the beginning of the round. Most people believe that Big Daddy would have a free pass to the next round and while I believe the guy will win I don’t think he’ll have as easy of a time as some people expect.

With Price showing that the duo can be at least low mid-cards Soap is shaping up to have decent strength. Remember last contest Big Daddy only showed strength of someone that is high fodder meaning that an upset could happen should last contest’s conditions be repeated. Of course a lot has changed since the previous contest and the board’s apathy for this match is not really helping.

While Big Daddy didn’t look great in 2008 some people suspect that Gordon Freeman may have been the cause of that. Freeman’s performance against Scorpion jumped between the two rounds and while some people blame the picture others think Big Daddy may have been at least a partial factor in that match. To help seal the deal Bioshock 2 was released just last week thus silencing a match that could have been debated.

While Soap does have a chance at winning he is the underdog of this match. Big Daddy also had a pretty good performance in the vote-in complementing his expected boost from Bioshock 2. Still I believe that Soap will put up a respectable performance once the board vote dies off.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Big Daddy > Soap MacTavish

charmander6000’s Prediction: Big Daddy wins, 54.73% - 45.27%

I think it's fairly obvious that MissingNo has been cheated for the entire match -- consistent cheating is easy to make look like consistent voting.

It's really sad that this contest is pretty much a sham and it's very hard to tell what's legitimate about it and what isn't.

If you believe anything about this match is legit then you are blind. It's hard for me to be excited about a match like this when you know it's only close because of cheating.
