o

For some reason I thought Samus went against Sephiroth. My b.

Oh right, it was Link vs. Mario finals.

So I change my mind -- if Sonic had beaten Samus I think he would have beaten Link because of the vast amount of support there would have been towards a Mario vs. Sonic finals. It would have been so fitting.

Sweet Jesus.

I guess this confirms that Kefka got a hefty boost, so Arthas may not be as trash as we thought.

Oh I know that he would have lost to Link in the finals -- but he would have made it there. I'm sure of it. He might even have won by being the iconic figure in the finals. But you never know now because he got cheated out of his place.

With every advance in defence there is another advance in offence. The reality is that security will always be one step behind, because you can't create security against a threat you don't know about yet. Chances are there are ways of stuffing that SBallin' or whoever created the security for the site hasn't encountered yet. I know my fair share of pokemon players and a lot of the ones online are very skilled with hacking and computer science.

You're going to tell me that people rallied 20,000+ votes? I doubt it very much.


To be fair, the one cheating method that still works is something anyone can do. Who really knows.

Really, just outdoing Frog is pretty impressive -- especially since he won a vote-in over Rikku and CTDS was released after our last Character Battle, though it apparently did nothing for CT's crew -- and Frog was just under 37% on Bowser. Kefka is definitively beating Frog.

What he said was "more attempted cheating votes for Crono were found than for Missingno."

So yes, he did catch some for Missingno.

You know...Just throwing some crazy idea out here:

Maybe, just maybe, Missingno actually won fair and square?

He spiked every time that Crono challenged him, and went insane at the end of the match to seal it. Thats not random variation; thats intentional variation.

Hm the only problem is that maybe CT dropped this year. We'll see how much the CT got weaker. If Missingno has trouble with Yoshi, then Kefka is not really that impressive. If he destroys him, then Crono was still relevant, and Missingno and Kefka are just that good.

My point is that just because something can be done easily doesn't mean you want to do it. Plus, I was already banned once for cheating back in 2004, so that has kinda scared me off from doing it again.

Can't you turn that argument around and say that Crono was the one cheating?
You seriously think that the one considered the favorite by the brackets and with more die hard fans has no chance at all of having cheated?

*facepalms at this last page*

But seriously, Kefka is so awful with the day vote that he could lose it to virtually anyone at this point. Even Frog managed to stalemate Bowser somewhat compared to this.

62.53% for Bowser in that last hour, by the way.

Thats basically my point. In an ASV dilluted format, a jump of 3.5% and possibly more in upcoming hours is as much as you can hope for.

You know, I wish that in the next CB we had to predict who was going to win in each continent instead of just a general prediction.

That would make it much harder to predict anything. I doubt there would be perfect brackets for more than 2 or 3 rounds.
