2) Joke fatigue. By then the joke could get stale (and probably does I think). It didn't stop L-Block until the next year, but I would hope so. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |

Right now, FFVII's board vote is even worse than it was in 2007 or 2005 FFVII's board vote has always been horrible. It hasn't looked any worse now than in any other year. Its day vote prowess disappearing is another story and has nothing to do with its board vote. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness!

If Missingno makes the finals, the only character I want to be there with the stupid glitch to show it what's what is L-Block. Shaped like a boot to kick the fake boot's ass. --- Sephiroth > Snake |

I
would expect Crono/Sephiroth to follow Crono/Vincent 2007 trends
roughly. Crono and Vincent are no longer quite so imbalanced trendwise
but Sephiroth's early vote is worse than Vincent's which should make up
for that. Crono lost over 10% from the freeze to the 12-hour mark, and
I'd expect Missingno to lose more (although he'll have a better day
vote and Europe vote than Crono, so perhaps not). Crono being at 60% on
Vincent at the freeze probably implies he'd be leading Sephiroth at the
freeze. Anyway, assuming Missingno/Sephiroth follows Crono/Vincent 2007 trends, Missingno needs about 56.5% at the end of the first hour to win. If there's 12,000 votes at that time, Missingno would need 1500+ votes within the first hour. His lead would need to hit 2700 or so by 4 AM for him to withstand the storm once it comes. That's assuming no rallying. If Missingno can rally or stuff several thousand votes, those quotas will be a lot lower. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |

Missingno does not beat Link. No one is ever going to beat Link 1 v 1 for at least a decade. FF7 Remake cloud would. Especially if it goes to a nintendo console as well. --- hmmmmmmmm |

I'm
hoping Joke Fatigue sets in very early as well (like, 11 hours from now
sorta early). I just get the feeling that 4ways have gotten voters
"smarter" and more impatient with things. L-Block took over a year to
wear off, but I think these days, it's plausible for a joke to lose its
humor (and strength) in the middle of a contest. I also think that's
more likely to happen with Missingno against Yoshi than against
Sephiroth. It's hard to imagine Missingno getting to the big bad FFVII
villain and getting 39%. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Wait - wouldn't the Cloud/Missingo semifinal be a 24 match as well? If Missingo beats Sephiroth, Cloud extracting revenge is a very strong possibility, if that's a 24 hour match. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I
am one of those people that believe that Sephiroth could lose the board
vote to Mario. Just look at FFVII/OoT from the last Games Contest.
Prior to the final, FFVII always lost the board vote. We were expecting
that when FFVII was put up against the one game that could defeat it in
a match, that FFVII would pull through and win the board vote over OoT.
But no, FFVII still got utterly decimated by OoT with the board
vote. If that happens to FFVII, it will most likely happen to Sephiroth
when he's against Mario. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

The
idea of Missingno having enough juice to beat Cloud 1v1 for 24 hours
but having absolutely zero shot at Link is a product of bias talking.
Link isn't 60-40ing the second strongest character in the bracket yet. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

If that happens to FFVII, it will most likely happen to Sephiroth when
he's against Mario. In retrospect, that was wishful thinking. Everyone knew the FFVII/OOT 1v1 poll was the true final, and voters who had voted OOT to topple FFVII weren't about to switch and give FFVII a 2nd championship just like that. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |

Seriously,
you people need to remember that Link does not have voters. He has
androids. Androids who will tirelessly vote him over everything else.
Look at the polls with L-Block and Snake in the finals. Cloud suffers
due to more creative people voting elsewhere. Link stays the same
because his fanbase lack the cognitive thought necessary to vote for
someone other than him. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

From: red sox 777 | #507 Missingo stuffing/rallying against Sephiroth is guaranteed. The glitch will cheat. It's just a question of if the bangwagoning can boost it to the point where such stuffing can make the difference, because the bandwagoning boost is the more important thing. From: PartOfYourWorld | #509 Oh yes, for sure. It's not just Missingno that would be getting stale, but we've already seen jokes win. It wouldn't be something new. But as you say, there's no chance it sets in against Sephiroth. Against Yoshi, I could see it being somewhat close because the base won't bother to rally against a weaker character. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Hey
now, we Link fans do have cognitive thoughts! Just because we're
indoctrinated from a young age into Link fandom, and we receive daily
voting instructions from Nintendo Contest Headquarters does not mean
we're incapable of independent thoughts! Like choosing to vote for Link
rather than doing it because we're ordered to! Seriously though, there is a difference between Link and Sephiroth, and Missingno can beat Sephiroth and lose to Link. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi |

From: UltimaterializerX | #069 Yoshi > Missingno Why are you continuously trying to bring this up? It's a bigger longshot than Missingno>Sephiroth at this point. Ulti isn't going to expand any his vague justifications for this prediction. That way if it happens he can claim he was a genius for knowing it all along, and if Yoshi gets stomped he can claim it was just a gut feeling that he wasn't trying to justify logically. --- From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie.

Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 3/2/2010 10:10:33 PM | message detail |
Interesting
that Sephiroth is doing better in the areas where FFVII is stronger,
Europe/Asia. NA is probably voting for Vincent because Sephiroth is the
higher profile FFVII character, anti-voting him. Or it could just be
character design, with guns being more popular over here. --- KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest. |
TheOneAboveAll | Posted 3/2/2010 10:10:35 PM | message detail |
Do
we have any proof yet that MissingNo. is a joke? I'm still not
convinced he doesn't have legitimate strength. He may be a humorous
option, but I still feel the vast majority of his strength comes from
those who loved him being there to not have to grind through hours of
training Pokemon. I guess we'll find out in about 11 hours. If he can
blow out Yoshi, he's legit (which gives him less of a chance at Sephy
because his strength is equal to Crono's and quite below Sephiroth's).
If it's also a close match, then I guess the joke is in and we have no
idea what will happen later on. |

I
doubt it, because Link isn't going to be without a brand new, heavily
hyped game himself. A FFVII remake isn't going to happen any time in
the near future, an announcement or otherwise, but I wouldn't be one
taking Cloud to win any matches on it. An announcement of the game now
certainly isn't going to have the same punch it would have a couple of
years ago, though it would obviously get lots of hype. --- study the past if you would define the future |

From: redrocket | #132 I've said multiple times why I feel that way. Yoshi is the fan favorite of the Mario series, rallying against him would be extremely hard. Missingno has to be naturally stronger than Yoshi by a lot to win, because rallying against YOSHI is ridiculous. You know what one of the biggest rally hot spots for Missingno was against Crono? Luelinks. If people try rallying against Yoshi on LL, it would end up doing more harm than good. --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.· "As always Ulti, I bow to thou wisdom." -Meeks54 |

Do we have any proof yet that MissingNo. is a joke? I'm still not convinced he doesn't have legitimate strength. I'm a Missingno. fan and I do think there exists a fair number of people who like Missingno..

From: redrocket | #652 Haha, ownage :) So true though ^_^ From: ZFS | #659 The hype on this site for any Zelda game wouldn't even be 1/3rd the hype for a FF7 remake, and you know that. Yes, an announcement alone wouldn't be enough. But like I said, a year or two before the game comes out, and Link would probably be toast, and rather easily. Remember that Link gets his strength from a bazillion games (his own, and the Smash series), while Cloud gets his from two (FF7+KH). Two!! The boost a FF7 remake would give him would be enormous. Not to mention it would totally revitalize the FF7 day vote as well, especially with it being multiplatform (which would likely be a given). But of course, the remake ain't ever happening, luckily for LInk. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
