I guess you miss the topic where the admin of the site confirmed there was no vote-stuffing then. Like when the creator of the site said he wasn't going to merge the site? Oh, right, I forgot how honest them administrators are. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

From: Fayt_Esteed | #292 *sigh* Guy has two of the best, most beautiful games ever, and he loses to Tails? I actually said I would close my first account if he lost(ViewtifulJC) *sigh* --- holy crap, you used an apostrophe to make a word plural at least 3 times in that post. that's like cryptonite to me if I was batman - Bako Ikporamee |

There's
really nothing wrong with getting attached to how your favorite
characters do. Maybe it means nothing to you, but people just feel
differently about things. It's just a matter of preference. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

And
the people saying, "Dude, my favorite characters lose all the time!"
have favorite characters who don't have high expectations of doing well
in these contests. With Crono, it's a bit different. It doesn't bother
me when Balthier loses, for instance, because I already know he's
fodder, but Squall losing is a different matter. I can get that. I know I felt a little deflated when WCC beat Mega Man despite liking the box and understanding LFF. I'm ultimately here for the celebration and comparisons of video games and their characters though, so it only affects me so much. Anyway, BD's winning easily. Does anybody feel better with Gordon now, or is Bioshock 2 behind this...or both? --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Oh, right, I forgot how honest them administrators are. The mere fact you're comparing one of the most major decisions made in the history of this site to some pointless contest is hilarious. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

From: Gooper Blooper | #294 But most people want to see him suck now! He's become such a pathetic joke that people want to see him suffer. It's better when you get attached to characters who exceed expectations. Watching Cecil, Vault Boy, and Shepard giving some great performances was awesome for me, and it makes me more excited to see what Shepard does to Pikachu and what Cecil (and hopefully Rydia) and Vault Boy may do next year. --- Not Wylvane |

He still told us it wouldn't happen. Also stuffing has always been prevalent in the contest and there has rarely been anything done about it. Why start now when it causes so much exposure? --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

Just
because there's stuffing in a match doesn't mean Bacon's a lier.

Missingno
got the internet to rally around him (it was going on since the first
hour). He would have lost by thousands without the rallying, probably.
Here's the final list of winners Crono beat in total votes: Night Winners Red Luigi Weighted Companion Cube Sonic the Hedgehog Ganondorf Kirby Vivi Mario Zidane Megaman Ryu Hayabusa Sora Kefka L-Block Charizard Samus Roxas Phoenix Zelda Cloud Riku Leon Kennedy Ryu Solid Snake Pikachu Auron Terra Sephiroth Yoshi (That's all night winners so far except for Link). Day Winners Alucard Amaterasu The Boss Knuckles the Echidna Ken GlaDOS Altair Zack Fair Laharl Bowser Isaac Sub-Zero Ratchet Ezio Chris Redfield Sackboy Noble Niners by vote count: 1. Link 48367 2. Crono 45277 3. Mario 44525 4. Samus 39941 5. Cloud 39732 6. Sephiroth 39295 7. Snake 37482 8. Sonic 34159 9.

He still told us it wouldn't happen. So, his boss did it, he had no say in that matter. SBAllen however has full control of this contest. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 49/60 - Today's Winners: Big Daddy and Ness |

From: EternalxCourage | #310 So basically you're going to use stuffing as an excuse when we see Zelda kicking Ezio's ass. --- Not Wylvane |

Also stuffing has always been prevalent in the contest and there has rarely been anything done about it. Why start now when it causes so much exposure? Why bother posting a topic about it only to lie? Sballin has ignored countless stuffing calls before. I think he has better things to do than post topics on here and lie about checking for stuffing if he didn't. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |
charmander6000 | Posted 2/14/2010 9:48:33 PM | message detail |
Crono was the only Noble Niner with a day match? Yup 7 of them were 1 seeds and Mega Man was in a night match. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 49/60 - Today's Winners: Big Daddy and Ness |

Between
BD's 2008-showing against Gordon compared to today plus his vote-in
pre-BS2 and seeing Price impress against MMX, maybe there's something
there. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

EternalxCourage | Posted 2/14/2010 9:49:56 PM | message detail |
Why would I? Zelda is expected to win. But it's not a match people care about enough to stuff in. It's always been the matches involving the 'best' characters. This is no exception. Bacon probably allows the stuffing because without the stuffing the match isn't even close -- Crono wins easily -- the site gains more exposure because with the stuffing the match is close and therefore people are willing to rally (as no one will actually rally in a match that they have no chance of affecting the outcome). --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

I can fully understand the 'expectations' thing, but I always try to minimize the bad matches and concentrate on the good ones. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
Tohoya | Posted 2/14/2010 9:51:34 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
it's all about expectations. For my part, my favorite character has
come from nowhere to pull out 3 pretty unexpected wins that were full
of awesome. I love you, Ammy! Do the impossible and get to round 3! |

And it looks like we're going to end up with 6 vote-in characters winning matches. That's not too bad, really. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |

To
be honest, I don't even play video games anymore (got 1 new game in the
past 3 years), so all I really care about on this site is the contests,
really. But yeah, let's go Team Pokemon. Red > MMX, Charizard > Mario, Pikachu > Snake, Missingno > Link let's do this. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

So basically you're going to use stuffing as an excuse when we see Zelda kicking Ezio's ass.

Anyway I've clearly pointed out that it's usually only prevalent in important/big name matches anyway. It doesn't matter though. You guys will always act the same. Someone chop my arms off already. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

Man,
it's kind of shocking, but I hadn't thought of this...MN is the
strongest Pokémon character, isn't he? The idea of him being above Pika
and Charizard is...unsettling, really. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |
xp1337 | Posted 2/14/2010 9:59:45 PM | message detail |
I take the opposite side here, I want Crono avenged. I know it'll make Crono look bad in the X-Stats, but I want to see Missingno annihilated. If Yoshi can somehow Nintendo SFF it into the ground, I'd love it. If Sephiroth can stop it, I wouldn't really be satisfied, but I'd like it. If Sephiroth can't, I'd run all the way back to Link and set up a fort waiting for Missingno to arrive and hope Link could pull a miracle. In any of those cases, I'm still going to view this as the worst result in contest history, but... Though I can definitely understand the view of wanting Missingno to tear up the contest now, it's just not for me. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

EternalxCourage | Posted 2/14/2010 10:01:31 PM | message detail |
Charizard is probably the strongest pokemon straight up. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |
MarioSuperstar | Posted 2/14/2010 10:02:13 PM | message detail |
At this point we do have to consider Missingno the strongest. I doubt Crono has fallen that far. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |
xp1337 | Posted 2/14/2010 10:03:09 PM | message detail |
You
know, I could almost buy Pikachu being the stronger indirectly than
Charizard. Missingno indirectly being the strongest of the trio, but
Charizard and Pikachu both being able to win directly against
Missingno, and Charizard > Pikachu. ...That's crazy and has to be horribly wrong, that's way too convoluted to be plausible. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k10 (52/59) Crono v Missingno |

I'm more intrigued about Missingno being the strongest joke character. --- Not Wylvane |
xp1337 | Posted 2/14/2010 10:05:56 PM | message detail |
From: Not_Wylvane | #338 I'm more intrigued about Missingno being the strongest joke character. Doing a Round 1 comparison to 2007 L-Block I don't see how this could be in doubt. 41% or so on Kirby v Beating Crono? Even if Crono did fall, that's a really long way to make Round 1 2007 L-Block stronger. Now, can Missingno be as effective at building strength as 2007 L-Block? That remains to be seen obviously. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k10 (52/59) Crono v Missingno |

I wonder if some angry Crono fanboy is going to try to sabotage Missingno by submitting a non-pixelated mess pic. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

The
votals tell a lot about Missingno's strength. Yesterday in a day match
Vincent only got 6000 more votes than Crono did today- and he got 77%
in that match. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

From: xp1337 | #339 Hell, you can just look at 2008 where we had Crono vs L-Block directly, where L-Block had an established fanbase. L-Block couldn't even beat Pikachu, let alone Crono. And Missingno has shown he's stronger than both Pikachu and L-Block just based on that. --- Not Wylvane |
KleenexTissue50 | Posted 2/14/2010 10:09:40 PM | message detail |
It's
a tough thing to figure out, because Missingno didn't really have joke
trends like we saw with L-Block. His trends, for the most part, seemed
pretty normal. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |

I
think something that should be heavily considered is Missingno not
being a joke at all. His trends fell exactly in line with Chrono
Trigger vs. Pokemon, excepting those last two hours. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

That's if you think Crono has stayed still from 08. Now, can Missingno be as effective at building strength as 2007 L-Block? That remains to be seen obviously. I doubt this. I think people who don't even play video games can be persuaded to vote for L Block. I do think that Missingno, whether or not he does make it into the late rounds, has more staying power than L Block. He'll have more legit strength when he's not being rallied for. --- -Heals severely dry skin -18 hour moisturization -Fragrance free -With Vitamin E |
