Yoshi
> Crono makes a lot of sense when you think about it. At least Yoshi
appears in new games at least yearly. What the hell has Crono done
lately? Star in a DS port of his old game? How many new fans could that
possibly have brought in? Crono's strength has always been confusing to me. I know this is a RPG happy site, but to be among the top 10 characters is pretty surprising. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 97/120 - Today's Winners: Sephiroth and Crono |

Shepard
is awesome, but I'm not under any delusions that GameFAQs is cognizant
of that fact! Pikachu's last match was pretty bad for him (and good for
Shep), there's no other way to slice that without bias. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

I'm assuming there's no rallying because everyone's busy at school/work. Crono/Missingno was a weekend match... So as long as Missy is able to keep Yoshi from getting too far away, he still has a shot come ASV, but only if the ralliers can get people to vote glitch instead of Yoshi. And TINY PERCENTAGE CUT WOO --- And then the car wash cost five dollars. Pokemon Platinum: 1719 9497 5082 |

I don't get it.How Missingno beat Crono and lost to Yoshi?Yeah rallying okay but where is the rallying now? It's the same reason why Kefka stomped Arthas, Liquid Snake got destroyed by Altair and Tails somehow got 39% against Kratos: This contest is freakin' wacko. --- CURRENT BRACKET SCORE: 106. Next five choices: Crono, Big Daddy, Gordon, Link, Luigi |

Confirm/Deny: At least a small portion of Crono's strength comes from the fact that he looks like a Dragon Ball Z character. --- (|| ' ' ||) Visio Vestri - Character Battle VIII Fanfiction Project . /|_|\ http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=53091233 |

61% on Shepard = 50%+ on the Ryu/Dante/Yoshi tier, eh. What's wrong with Shepard being a mid to low midcarder weeks after his new game came out? And it's entirely possible that Pikachu got anti-votes in that match as well. --- "Right... today we'll be discussing the philosophy of putting a bullet in someone's head"--Marcus Fenix Yesmar |

Hey,
I'll admit I went with bad, yet reasonable assumptions of Crono and
good assumptions of Yoshi in making my bracket. I'm not trying to sound
obnoxious or trollish here, but it's getting me two points again, at
present). Call it lucky, or bad logic if you want, but I guess it can't
be that bad if it's producing results. Course, Missingno may have made all that moot. --- "Eet's game time..." |

I love it how every voting spike suddenly becomes a "rally". Well then, Yoshi's had a couple of "rallies" too this match. The ASV will almost always favor a Pokemon. I think Yoshi needs a lead of at least 400 for me to even consider him surviving, and 800-1000 for me to feel safe (which is definitely not happening). |

I think Missingno could stage a comeback with the ASV. The question is, will it be enough? An hour in and Yoshi hasn't hit 200 yet, but he should still have a sizable lead in several hours. --- Not Wylvane |

From: charmander6000 | #051 Agreed. I had no ****ing clue who Crono was before I came to this site (and saw the polls). Crono fans here should be happy that he's even in the top 20. --- CBVIII: 75/87 - 92 pts, tied for 385th Day Pick: Dante Night Pick: Solid Snake |

Just
because we don't know Shep's exact strength doesn't mean we can't set
reasonable upper bounds for him. In Pikachu's cleanest matches, we know
he's not on that tier. 55% on Ike, 42% on Leon, 54% on Tidus... he's
not that good. We've known this! --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

I
just realized, after all the years of Mario and Crono being rivals,
Crono has finally stooped so low that he'd have a hard time beating Mario's ride. That's like Epona beating Cloud or something. --- (|| ' ' ||) Visio Vestri - Character Battle VIII Fanfiction Project . /|_|\ http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=53091233 |

Big cut. But it came from a huge Yoshi drop, so it shouldn't last so long. And please look at the vote intake before anyone claims this is a rally. |

Missingno's gotten 2 posts on Twitter so far. He won both updates. The second Twitter post was made about 1 minute before the update that Missingno won at 12:30 PM, which I don't think is enough time for a rallying post to have any effect on an update. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

From: ZenOfThunder | #066 I was going to bring this point up earlier, lol. Pretty sad. Even if Crono still beats Yoshi... Crono's gone from 53% on Mario to probably the same percentage on Yoshi. --- CBVIII: 75/87 - 92 pts, tied for 385th Day Pick: Dante Night Pick: Solid Snake |

There's
still only so high you can push Shepard even with ME2's release, which
is the only point I was making there. There aren't a lot of realistic
possibilities where Pikachu is that high. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Man,
it's like every result is making me feel more nervous about Sora. Yeah,
this makes CT look bad, but it also makes Mario look good. Yeah,
Missingno is dropping the ball, but he raised the flag high and proud
on a Sunday. A Mario character has Sora next. If he gets past that, he
gets a strong Pokemon on a Sunday. It's a veritable gauntlet of
Nintendo spikes and fire. If Sora can pull this off, he is undoubtedly,
unquestionably, unequivocally THE most clutch entrant in contest
history. --- Yoblazer: http://i29.tinypic.com/dqhyf5.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

From: KamikazePotato | #022 You just spent 2 weeks saying Yoshi winning this match was a pipe dream (exact quote), because Crono would have beaten him 55-45. Don't even try the damage control here. Also my memory isn't what it used to be, but wasn't the entire stats topic dismissing Yoshi today? Wasn't he supposed to lose 55-45 en route to building a 2000 vote lead on Sephiroth and making a finals fun? redrocket Posted 3/3/2010 1:10:11 AM 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. creativename: Haha, ownage :) So true though ^_^ "Why are you continuously trying to bring [Yoshi > Missingno] up? It's a bigger longshot than Missingno>Sephiroth at this point." And then cue the standard stats topic damage control. Anyone who dismissed Yoshi today based on stats or whatever was just completely embarrassing themselves. He was always going to be a gigantic threat to win this match. From: red sox 777 | #062 Yeah, but those Twitter "rallies" don't really mean anything. I have what, 10 followers? Can't imagine much of GameFAQs being that different. If someone managed to get Shaq to post a rally update, then sure it would matter. But random GF people with no followers don't mean much, I just do it for fun. --- ------ --------- |
