Crono should still be the favourite against Yoshi, there's no reason for him to take a drop.

Now if Yoshi impresses against Sephiroth then maybe the upset is possible.

Seriously KP, rofl at the guy who put 42% on Squall managing to beat Crono a year later. Crono was the victim of cruel circumstance and the stupidity of voters. He'd take Yoshi easily.

but remember Yoshi's run in '07? That...definetely wasn't terrible, by any means.

It was hardly great. And he almost to Fox in 2008

Lead of 100.

If Missingno doesn't get his glitchy ass in gear this is over.

Yoshi's 2k7 run was average (and a tad disappointing in retrospect).

And people taking Yoshi > Crono in any format need a reality check. Do you even remember the votes that Crono mustered up to try save himself?

And that could very well be the case! Remember that Yoshi got 76% against Jak, which looks extremely good after what Ratchet and Crash did.

Someone please explain to me why Crono would still be a big favourite over Yoshi, when we're currently watching a match showing evidence to the contrary. It's under the same, fair conditions!

If you think he wins based on something over than raw stats (kind of like Mario > Samus), then fine, but over than that, uhh...

We are at average votals at this point for a weekday match. This makes me think we are having absolutely no rallies at this point... if Missingno gets rallies at any point, he's got this won.

Yoshi just plain isn't that good. He gets free passes because of his circumstances, and his most impressive year is filled with them (horrible match against Riku, DMC2 Dante, and ending against Solid ****). You want to put him well above the Bowser/Luigi/Kirby tier, be my guest.

Seriously, I like CT, Crono, and contest legitimacy just as much as the next guy but to say that Crono would clean Yoshi without a sweat is just foolishness. That's like me saying that Sephiroth would clean Snake without a sweat. Do any of you actually take me seriously when I say that?

Wasn't the reason why people thought Yoshi could win is because Yoshi is a harder character to rally against than Crono. The match had 91k votes when the second highest had 81k, if that's not mass rallying on both sides then I don't know what is.

Maybe a drop off in people who grew up on Dragonball Z has to do with Crono dropping. Laugh all you want, but it helps explain why Frog has dropped off less than the other two over the years.

I guess you completely ignored how we argued about transitive voting.

From: KamikazePotato | #423

Do a random poll of anybody and 80% of them would pick Yoshi over Jak. Jak sucks.

You mean going from barely losing to Vincent to barely winning is a drop? Heck Crono went up in strength between 2002 and 2004 before cooling off.
