The real question: How many zero brackets do we lose today?
I think...All of them.

Nah just kidding but it comes close.

Missingno, you magnificent glitch, this match is all kinds of awesome. GO! YOU CAN GET TO THE 500 HOLY BARRIER AGAIN BEFORE THE MATCH ENDS FOR THE HELL OF IT!

Missingno is going to end this match with a lead that is slightly over triple what his lead was last hour before Crono fell apart.

We're on pace for 91,000 here. That means we're looking at about 2,000 extra votes in the last 2 hours, which I would guess is beyond the capability of rallying.

Even if Bacon does look into it, he'll likely just say there was cheating on both sides and call it even

Revised it. I'd still like so more opinions. Gonna go tally the pic topic now.


Wait. *google*

Oh **** me, all those characters exist. Are you saying there will be no newcomers in CB9?

I would have loved to see Crono be upset by a character. But not a JOKE character. God, this contest is already going down the crapper

Vote totals the last two hours have been pretty high. It's not normal for a day match's final hours to go up in vote intake from previous hours. Usually they go down all match long per hour, but not this one.

Yeah, 2000 is more than I would think rallying could give us. My guess is there was a lot of rallying on both sides, and some stuffing on top of it.

Now, Mario could make a comeback from here no problem. And that's not even counting the fact that poll close times are merely a suggestion to him.

It's kinda sad to see the noble nine go down in flames, but then again, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Especially with Sonic's terrible performance lately.

This seems to be anathema to a Stats Topic that loves to overreact, but I think that Missingno will crush Yoshi and lose easily to Sephiroth.


Ditto - it won't beat Sephiroth.

It's worth noting Crono was the first Noble Niner to lose to a non-Noble Niner in the four-way format, too. He's always been my least favorite Noble Niner, but I don't like to see stuff like this happen to the guy either.

Not even the closest one this contest. Ken/Wesker was closer.

Ken/Wesker, Chrono Trigger/LttP and Frog/Liquid were closer wire-to-wire than this.

Amazing how three out of the four closest wire-to-wire matches involve Chrono Trigger

Didn't know Ken/Wesker was that close, must have been out that day or something.
