TRE
or someone said this earlier, but Missingno hasn't been in a Pokemon
game since the originals. People who played those when they were
younger are in college or beyond at this point. People were probably playing RBY through 2000 or later, it was a cultural phenomenon more than a game. Someone who was 8 in 2000 would be 18 now. It's true that a lot of the N64 generation is already out of high school, but that's why RBY's day vote isn't like Melee's. Any way you slice it, Yoshi's in an even worse situation day vote wise here if you believe he's winning the NES/SNES generations. We saw this last year too- this generational division is why Zelda 1 crushed the old school Mario games so badly (since Zelda became a bigger franchise than Mario with the N64 onwards, so younger voters didn't really care about any of the games and just voted for Zelda), and it's why SM64 then beat LTTP badly with the ASV. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

There
are still dummy Pokemon in the new games that fans sometimes refer to
as being Missingno.. However, I don't believe they are officially
called Missingno. in game and they don't look anything like the Pokemon
RB Missingno.. Also those new "Missingno." don't have a famous glitch
associated with them and for the most part only show up if you use a
cheating device to actively look for them. --- Every night will have a day. Even forever has to come to an end. 2/14/2010 24:00 EST |

Seph
is the huge favorite now, but Missingno's ASV dominance suggests that
L-Block is even deader than before against Charizard. QUESTION: What is the biggest match of Round 3? For me, it's Sora/Bowser. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

TRE,
let me say I'm highly looking forward to you being on The Show. I
remember some Pokemon tournament you went to in Seattle, and there were
pictures but you wouldn't tell anyone which one you were. Everyone
ended up assuming you were one of the two Asian kids. How all is that going, anyway? Did you end up going to any more major tournaments and doing well? --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ http://img.imgcake.com/UltisMoneyMgifyv.gif |

Electoral Vote- 4 PM Update: Missingno 290 Yoshi 246 Missingno is winning most of the East now. I expect as the ASV rolls on he'll start picking up a lot of the Western states too. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

Also,
depending on how badly you think Crono beats Yoshi...this match could
end up be very transitive! Account for Missingo facing Crono in a day
match where he would overperform, and Missingno facing Yoshi in a day
match where he would underperform... --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

Crono/Missingno
makes a little more sense after this crazy ASV. It being a day match
clearly hurt Crono even more than we thought. Sephiroth should be heavily favored now. He gets the Missingno that lost to Yoshi those first two hours, except Missingno will be even weaker than that. --- KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest. |

Round 3 is pretty boring for me and my jaded eyes. Umm... If Leon can muster up a picture that makes him not look like an absolute joke, I'll be anticipating Leon v Ryu greatly, mostly for the implications it would bring. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

round. He'll then put the fear into Mario by leading for an hour or 2. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

From: Karma Hunter | #461 Round 3 has some really intriguing matches though! Sora/Bowser and Charizard/L-Block. Leon/Ryu like you said, Squall/Auron and Sephiroth/Missingno if you really wanna stretch. --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |
red sox 777 | Posted 3/3/2010 1:10:26 PM | message detail |
Missingno/Sephiroth
is the biggest match of round 3, just like Missingno/Crono was the
biggest match of round 1 and Missingno/Yoshi is the biggest match of
round 2. It will take until round 4 before Missingno isn't involved in
the biggest match of the round, though he'll be back for rounds 5, 6,
and 7 assuming he makes it there. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |
HaRRicH | Posted 3/3/2010 1:11:04 PM | message detail |
NEW TIGER! Anyway, personally, Auron/Squall's the biggest match for me next round -- I've been willing to take Auron over him for years and this is a big legit heavy-weight match. Contest-wise though, it has to be Seph/Missingno. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

That's great to hear and I'll try to do a good job, but don't expect too much. I'm even quieter when talking than I am when posting. <_< I haven't really entered any major Pokemon tournaments since then. Scary thought, TRE isn't even the best Pokemon player on this board. I'm not even close! Why do there have to be so many great Pokemon players here. >_> --- Every night will have a day. Even forever has to come to an end. 2/14/2010 24:00 EST |

I'm not even close! Why do there have to be so many great Pokemon players here. >_> I was more-so saying it as a comment on Board 8's general Pokemon quality. At one point we had something like 3 of the best Pokemon players on the net? I remember that time you guys all entered that tournament on Smogon and you all kicked ass.

From: voltch | #478 I am incredibly mediocre. I will every so often have one match that I will play absolutely perfectly, but a lot of the time I can be forced into simple mistakes.

no one in their right mind would have called for Crono > Seph. Sup, red sox! I was reading through the topic and saw this. Extha, I did not take Crono over Sephiroth this year, and I've said repeatedly that it was impossible. Crono > Sephiroth is something I want to happen, but it was never going to happen. It's also been my ultimate upset special since 2003, and I have taken it before, twice, just not since 2006. Strangely enough, I got a net gain of 8 points overall from taking Crono > Seph twice......see if you can figure out how that happened! --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

Man, did I call Missingno winning the ASV, or what? Hardcore GameFAQs users will more favor Yoshi, and will be the main fanbase voting before the ASV, when the casual users, who favor Missingno and his Pokemon/joke persona, will vote in higher numbers since they'll be busy with work/school until then.
