GameFAQs Contests

This match should be very telling about what we can expect from this thing in future matches should it make it that far. If Missingno rocks Yoshi's face, then Sephiroth could be in trouble. If he picks up a modest win, he'll probably be stopped (though we can't rule it out because there's no one easier to rally against than Sephiroth).

Best case scenario, Yoshi takes care of business and we can get this stupid thing out of here early. Wouldn't bet on it, though.

Bracket: Crono
Favorites: Yoshi
Prediction: Missingno with 56.12%



Red Sox’s Analysis

This is the biggest match of round 2! Missingno pulled off a shocking win over Crono last round with the help of a few thousand rallied votes, and now he continues on his path towards winning the contest. Yoshi is weaker than Crono, but he's a scary opponent because he's a poor enemy for a joke character. If Missingno gets past here, he should look good against Sephiroth win or lose, but against Yoshi there's potential for him and Crono to look very bad. Missingno should have this though, because he doesn't even need to get a bandwagon beyond what he already got last round.

I'm nervous about this, because failure would make Crono look very bad. You better not lose this, Missingno.

Prediction: Missingno with 56.00%
Upset Potential: 5%
Upper Bound: Missingno with 62%
Lower Bound: Missingno with 50.01%



Guest’s Analysis - Luis_Sera89

Well, I have Yoshi winning here in my bracket. Only difference is that I thought he’d be beating Crono in the day rather than Missingno! The reasoning there was the likelihood of the continuation of a steady CT drop, combined with it’s horrendous day vote giving Yoshi the edge, but then Missingno went and potentially proved that a whole round earlier than I thought it would.

There are two trains of thought here as far as I’m concerned. 1) Crono dropped off with Magus and co. and a decently strong Missingno took advantage of a close match in the day to rally itself to victory; or 2) Crono’s drop was minimal, and Missingno is near elite or better and took advantage of a close match etc. A lot of people in the aftermath of the match, and still are, surprisingly eager to assume the latter of the two scenarios, which I consider a lot more farfetched than the former. Before the rallying, day match and everything else that went with it, that still leaves Missingno’s strength at something far higher than I’d ever be willing to put him at. It makes him the strongest Pokemon entrant for starters, which I find hard to swallow, and indeed stronger than a whole lot of other contest mainstays too, like, for example, Yoshi. I don’t know if people just immediately pronounced Missingno as the next L-Block and have pegged him as being strong as a result, but that’s taking more things for granted and is a little more wishful/negative (delete as appropriate) thinking than simply assuming round 1 was more indicative of Crono’s weakness than anything else. The continued decline of a character we’ve been seeing for years is a much easier sell than something, a joke character of all things, coming out of the blue and staking it’s unquestioned claim for overall victory in round 1. We’ve seen it before after all. Tifa immediately jumps to mind.

As for the match though, Missingno didn’t beat Crono by any more than I thought Yoshi would, and rather than ponder over the intricacies of “SMB > Pokemon”, and any momentum Missingno may have gathered, I’m just going to say they largely cancel each other out. Sephiroth, never mind Link, needn’t worry too much here.

Yoshi with 52.6%


Crew Consensus: Yoshi has some good support, but the glitch is the slight Crew favorite

I'll also say I think Yoshi/Missingno may be the Starcraft/KH of Missingno's run.

FACT or FICTION: assuming Missingno wins (and it should), everybody on the leaderboard misses the match again.

I was going to say FICTION but it turns out that one guy with MissingNo winning is gone, replaced with a guy who has Cloud winning it all.

So, yeah, probably fact.

haha that was awesome

Well I'll be eagerly watching more Pokemon shenanigans in...a minute.

Yoshi will win today's match.

His incredible board vote will put him up by 50-75 at the freeze (remember, Crono was leading at the freeze). Then he'll put up a respectable showing at the 10 minute mark and drop to a 25-50 lead, but as the board vote wears off he'll slowly go up. There will be Missingno rallies, but eventually his support falls off and after he goes down by 300 or so his fans will give up and Yoshi will cruise. Remember when Crono was cutting an an incredible rate and cut from 588 to 130 in an hour before Missingno fans got it together and rallied the lead back up to 500? Imagine that except Yoshi does that while barely leading, going from up 300 or so to up by 50 then up and out of range. Yoshi by 500ish.

Or Missingno will smash face and win with 60%. Which would be a horrible thing.

But you gotta Believe!

Seriously, what the **** happened to Crono? Hell, Crono/Missingno was easily the biggest match so far, so it's not like Crono's ridiculously weak.

Maybe Yoshi has boosted from becoming relevant again? I don't even know what to think here.
---
Not Wylvane

It's a bit early to be calling for Crono's head. Even he took the board vote off it, so I'd expect Yoshi to perform better here than at any other point during the match.

Really high prediction percentages as expected. Top 22 tiers go perfect. Missingno. vs Yoshi will cause a lot more brackets to get killed regardless of who wins.

No one fell off the Top 50.

The difference is Yoshi isn't one of the Noble Nine getting anti-voted. Everybody loves Yoshi. Also you better believe LUE is pushing some extra votes his way over Missingno, which was not true last round with Crono.
