Obviously
Missingno. could not do this even without all the rallying in the
world, but obviously Sephiroth has to be putting his foot down with SFF
at this point too. --- :> |

he's
still getting almost 10% less than expected here. Regardless of what
the Seph Defense Squad (aka SDS) tries to argue here, this is a
downright atrocious match for Seph. Theres no reason he shouldn't be
sffing another "Bad Ass Bishy" from his same game into the ground. This
isn't just lack of SFF; its proof that no matter who Seph faces, he
will face heavy anti votes. And when you get Heavy Anti Votes + a
massively strong joke character with a bandwagon, Seph is in for a
world of hurt. SFF only matters in SFF matches. This performance is only an issue if Sephiroth really is SFFing Vincent and it's hiding Sephiroth's fall in strength. And we already knew Sephiroth would get anti-voted against just about everyone or at least the characters near his strength. He's still 3rd strongest despite the anti-votes. --- Every night will have a day. Even forever has to come to an end. 2/14/2010 24:00 EST |

From: ExThaNemesis | #045 No. Missingno isn't the type to blow out characters, since rallying will only do enough to keep him in the lead, nothing more. He can do 50.5/49.5 on Seph, though. --- http://gameaxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sephiroth.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli fanboyism |

People
are definitely overreacting here. Sephiroth has never shown to be an
sff machine, infact it's the opposite. Yet you people expected 10% sff
blowout? Really? --- hmmmmmmmm |

Well, let's see here. Jokeymanz time 2007: Bidoof went from 18.5% on Link to 20.5% on Link. Zelda was added in the second poll. Mudkip went from 37.6% on Luigi to 47% on Luigi. Ganondorf was added in the second poll. 2008: Mudkip went from 40.48% on X to 38.64% on X. Mario and Zelda were added to the second poll. So 2007 Mudkip is the only joke-pokemon that looked better in the second round...and after seeing Liquid/Luigi/Bowser and Mario/X/Zelda I'm okay with blaming a good portion of that on LFF. Arguing for Sephiroth feels pretty dirty but I'm not feeling the bandwagon thing. On the bright side, Bidoof led Vincent for quite a while so at least we'll get a good laugh at Sephiroth's expense. --- Mustache...and Green... |

When
it comes to expecting characters to do a certain amount of SFF, it
doesn't really mean much to me. Sephiroth has never conformed to our
expectations before anyway. This is the guy who can go from this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2871 to this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2899 For no reason. Well, it's hardly baseless speculation for KP to say that Sephiroth could be getting SFF on Vincent at this minute. Assuming he finishes at 62% it's not conclusively bad for Seph (especially if you have a high opinion of Crono/Vincent), but it's certainly a negative, in a match where we were expecting absolutely no useful information. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |

Considering I had Seph pegged at 70%+ here, he's got a looooooooong way to go. Although I can understand the defensiveness of the Seph supporters here, to even go so far as to try and rebound with putting the burden of proof on Snake (and his matches against two essential unknowns along with an overrated rat next match). But hey, if Seph's got nothing to worry about, then Squall/Auron should easily break 40% on Snake come the Sweet Sixteen, right? --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Sephiroth
is doing 10% worse than you clowns expected. So what? Your
finger-in-the-wind expectations in a SFF match are meaningless. If you
thought Seph was going to get 70%, you don't understand contests. I
explicitly warned you all right before the match that there was no way
Seph was getting 70%. I know you're all eager to see Seph drop and I
have Snake > Seph in my bracket. But I am a pragmaticist. That means
I am pragmatic. |

Missingno gets any kinda boost close to that with his already noble
nine level strength, Seph is done. --- http://gameaxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sephiroth.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli fanboyism |

The thing about Missingo is that he could easily build a lead of like 2K in the first couple hours alone. In a 12-hour match, a night match where vote totals are even lower, that's going to be almost impossible for Sephiroth to come back against. Especially since if he does come back and take the lead, Missingno could easily cheat/rally in the last couple hours and win by a hair. Pretty good chance that's exactly what happens, actually. It makes sense to worry about Sephiroth. (although as Leon said, it's dumb to use this match as a reason to worry) --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

It
blows me away that some people think Missingno can build a 1 or 2k lead
on Sephiroth in a night match. I'd give him 200 at maximum. You saw
what Sephiroth did after the first update here. Don't see Missingno
leading past the first hour, really. --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |
vcharon | Posted 3/2/2010 9:51:52 PM | message detail |
This
match doesn't change my opinion or anything. I've thought Sephiroth,
and everyone else, was in trouble ever since Crono went down. Joke
characters are just too hard to gauge. Missingno. could come out firing
on all cylinders with all its rallying again, or like some have
suggested since it's "just Yoshi" they may let up a bit and let Yoshi
look halfway decent. You can't really be sure what's going to happen
with a joke. --- :> |

Man,
I wish I had your optimism, guys. It's almost like you're more
confident with this current result than you would be if Sephiroth had
70%. I'm trying to look at things objectively, and objectively, if
Sephiroth loses the board vote this handily to Vincent, he's going to
have one hell of a good time with Missingno's board vote. Remember what happened against Crono? Crono was leading at the freeze before Missingno blasted him with the 10 minute update. The very fact that Missingno was almost tied at the freeze got people excited. Sephiroth will not be tied with Missingno at the freeze. I hope the night vote proves too much, both in terms of favoring Sephiroth and getting the damned Missingno rally effort to bed, but once again, I have serious doubts. If Missingno wins without trouble tomorrow, I consider Seph/Miss a 50/50 affair. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Where is this idea of Missingno getting this ridiculous lead coming from, anyway? I mean, I know he'll get joke votes and stuff, and Sephiroth gets anti-votes and everything, but this isn't going to be like the finals of 2007. --- Sephiroth > Snake |

The thing about Missingo is that he could easily build a lead of like 2K in the first couple hours alone. Man, I really doubt Missingno's going to have that kind of momentum in a night match, 1-on-1. But if he does, he's got the contest won. Nothing's going to stop it from doing the same thing to Link. --- "Spoil it for me.

And
yeah, the Seph/Missingno match determines who wins the contest, no
doubt. If Missingno wins, nothing will stop him from building the
bandwagon to take down Link by the finals. If Seph wins, then Link is
our winner. --- http://gameaxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sephiroth.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli fanboyism |

Luigi
came back from down over 900 votes to lead Mudkip by 500 at noon, and
Luigi is not exactly known for his night vote. That was obviously
pretty depressed vote totals as well - 38k between them. If Mudkip decides to do what he did against Crono, yes, that would hurt - but that was probably only a swing of 600 or so in those last 40 minutes. That's impressive but we're probably not going to see something like that at 5 AM. --- Mustache...and Green... |

Eh? I'm confused. Why wouldn't they? There's a decent chance Squall/Auron breaks 45%. 40% should be a lock. Squall got 42.5% against Snake in 2006.

I'm
not really sure why people expected Sephiroth to win the board vote
against Vincent! I mean, I know Vinny's FFVII, too, but Sephiroth is an
anti-vote machine regardless of who he's facing (except for Mario,
apparently. I've said since 2007 that Sephiroth is Mario's Kryptonite,
it's crazy how he can just dominate him like nobody's business
regardless of the setting). --- "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!" |

From: ExThaNemesis | #351 Look at the Link/Snake/Cloud/Crono final (ugh...hate that match, for obvious reason!). Snake builds a lead of 1K over Cloud in no time at all. He gets it up to almost 3K in about 3 hours. And that's with Link and Crono sucking up half the votes. The difference in 'natural' strength between Cloud/Snake and Sephiroth/Missingno is also probably comparable.
