The
fact that there's a question about L-Block's chances against Laharl
should tell you everything you need to know about his chances with Link. There's a bit of difference there considering L-Block hadn't even had a match yet! The fact that there's a question about L-Block's chances against an LFFed Kirby should tell you everything you need to know about his chances with Link, then! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

Why
is everyone trying to read Crono through Vincent through 4-ways?
Assuming Crono=Missingno. we'll know exactly how these two stack up in
about a week-and-a-half. Unless Missingno gets a huge bandwagon by then
(which I doubt, I think the ridiculous votals from round 1 show he has
legitimate strength coming in), that match will give us an
almost-perfect read of how Crono/Sephiroth would have gone. Missingno will probably overrate Crono- you could say that if Missingno makes it to Sephiroth, Missingno's percentage will set an upper bound for Crono. This match, on the other hand, underrates Crono- you could say that Vincent's final percentage is a lower bound for Crono. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |

Vincent
being able to resist SFF isn't surprising. He got slaughtered in 2007
for the same reason that Seph got humiliated by Kirby last contest.
When the stronger FF7 character needed support in 4-ways, the FF7
fan-base put all their support behind the stronger entrant. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

And
there is no question about Missingno. > Yoshi. There's just one
person here with a crazy Nintendo SFF theory that makes Yoshi destroy
Missingno. If anything, Missingno. will be the one doing the SFFing. (I love it how SFF became a verb.) |

From: LeonhartFour | #433 Oh come on. Don't tell me that Seph finishing at 63% as opposed to 73% is meaningless in his next match. Mario hit 70% against Bowser. Link hit 88% against Ganondorf. Heck, Seph himself nearly hit 68% against Auron once upon a time, and Auron isn't even from his game. Heavy SFF in the 1v1 format does exist, and Seph SHOULD be rocking it to the tune of at least a doubling. Now, things will look better if he has a turnaround and gets the doubling, but this is bad right now. I'm not even arguing that Seph has gotten much weaker legitimately, but he just lost the board vote handily to someone with an awful board vote. He's getting anti-voted, flat and simple. I wish him luck trying to get out of whatever hole Missingno puts him in after ten minutes, but I have my doubts.

Missingno
barely beat Crono in a day-match, and there was decent speculation
Missingno had already rallied several thousand votes against him. Crono
has been practically even with Vincent since 2007, and Vincent's
probably not being SFF'd that hard against Sephiroth unless Seph really
picks up the pace. Missingno has to face Sephiroth in a night-match and
will need to rally multiple times more than it did against Crono. Just saying, Missingno's got a hell of an obstacle in the way if that glitch wants to win the contest. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

What does Sephiroth's SFF ability have to do with his ability to beat Missingno? SFF ability is correlated with strength. Also, it could be that he's doing poorly here because his base strength, before SFF, is not as far above Vincent as we thought. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |

SFF
ability is correlated with strength. Also, it could be that he's doing
poorly here because his base strength, before SFF, is not as far above
Vincent as we thought. He's going to end up 62-63% on Vincent, which is about as far above him as he should have been in the first place. Sephiroth's SFF ability has always been questionable.

I doubt Crono's dropped significantly enough to go from being equal to Vincent to losing to Yoshi. Plus, Missingno beat Crono in Round 1 straight-out. I imagine Missingno won't look as impressive against Yoshi since he won't need rallies like he did against Crono, and having an easier R2 opponent may hurt his bandwagoning chances against Sephiroth, but unless Yoshi had some weird-ass boost (which is possible I guess after the way he manhandled Jak) I can't see him beating Missingno or Crono. Only reason I'd even entertain it is the relative strength of Crash and Ratchet suggesting that Jak may have a bit of strength as well! A bit of a stretch, but Yoshi looked damn impressive and I don't buy platformer SFF. --- Not Wylvane |

Only way Yoshi is beating Missingno is either a) Missingno was only expected to get below 42% on Crono and he was rallied that much and people go, but it's ****ing Yoshi this round b) An anti-rally forms like it did for Pikachu/L-Block --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 97/120 - Today's Winners: Sephiroth and Crono |

Whoa, Hochi with the DBZ reference. Haven't seen those here in way too long. Why are we all assuming that Crono=Vincent? In there last 1v1 Crono 55/45d him. In both 4-way matches they had together, the other characters in the poll would clearly leech of Crono more than Vincent. Crono is decently close to Nintendo (for the same reasons as Mega Man, unless you assume that most of Crono's strength is from emulations, which actually isn't so ridiculous), while Vincent is nowhere near. I would still believe Crono 55/45s Vincent unless I see some statistics here to say otherwise (e.g. Sephiroth 60/40ing Missingno.). |

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 3/2/2010 9:30:16 PM | message detail |
The
only way Yoshi wins is if the Nintendo fanbase sides with him
decisively or if voters get tired of Missingno after an astonishing one match.
I won't say it's impossible, but Missingno just went even with Crono,
who is at Vincent's level, who is likely at Squall's level, who put up
57% on Yoshi a year ago. Even if things don't correlate perfectly,
Yoshi does not have the intrinsic strength to hang at that level
without some zaniness going on. Fortunately, a damned glitch in the
poll can mean a lot of zaniness. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

If Missingno had a couple more rounds, I'd be more apt for Missingno > Sephiroth. Round 3 against what should be an easy win against Yoshi? Kicking Crono's ass, impressive as it was, is one thing, but taking on Sephiroth is another. Sephiroth's the easy favorite in my eyes. I'm not stupid enough to take any bets on either, though!
