Is the Crono/Missingno aftermath boosting the Soap/BD numbers here? Seem much larger than usual, but not sure if they really are.

Is that the most bracket support Crono's ever had?

The real question: How many zero brackets do we lose today?

By my count, 8 zero brackets.

Ness sucks and Big Daddy is laying a Big Daddy beatdown on Soap.

Meh, whatever.

I imagine there were a lot of people watching the end of Crono/Missingno and when the poll updated, they cast a vote in Big Daddy/Soap because they were there. Nothing fishy about the large vote numbers right now.

Missingno won fair and square, and Crono was trying to cheat more than Missingno.


That settles it.

Feels good to be right :)
Tohoya | Posted 2/14/2010 9:05:16 PM | message detail
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.

I think this is the most likely, but we said the same thing about L-Block. Nothing would surprise me at this point, honestly.
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 2/14/2010 9:05:25 PM | message detail
RIP Noble Nine! And...RATCHET outlasts Crono this contest??? Zounds.

KamikazePotato | Posted 2/14/2010 9:05:32 PM | message detail
In fact, after checking the attempted vote stuffing, Crono had more than double the attempted vote stuffs than Missingno. It's all legit, Missingno won fair and square.

And that's all she wrote.

Hmm nice, I lost 3 characters in the first 7 divisions and now I'll drop 2 more in back to back days. I had no idea how to score Soap. At first I had him losing to Big Daddy, then to Ness... then I started thinking, well Ness is weak enough and so is Big Daddy, that Soap, being from such a popular game may skate by to face Gordon or Peach.

Oh well... my entire bracket pretty much rests upon Snake > Sephiroth anyway.
Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/14/2010 9:05:50 PM | message detail
Well, I'll have missed a max of one match per division, with a couple being perfect. Overall, a solid first round for me.

Too damn bad I have Liquid in Round 2 and my silly Kratos > Sora upset.

Increased vote total after close matches generally proves rallying over cheating since it shows that more people are visiting.

I'll accept Bacon's word that he didn't find any cheaters, but it's still weird that Missingno had more registered voters, when there was a massive rally going on at the end.
