For redsox: A Yoshi victory here does not mean Crono is weak. In fact, there is a good chance Crono is stronger 1v1. It took the perfect storm for him to lose, and Yoshi matches up with Missingno quite well. Anyone who says Crono lacks legitimate strength is ridiculous; so were the opponents they each faced round 1. Magus could have had Laharl or Lloyd, Frog could have had Wesker or Captain John Price, and Crono could have had literally anyone else from 13 and below. Crono team ain't out yet. Also, Bacon should set up Crono v. Yoshi for next contest. I know he's done straight seeding for the last few, but match setups like that are a great reason to sometimes eschew the nominations in favor of a better bracket. --- Guru contest: Burned by Zard Yoshi > Missingno Believe!! |

To
be fair Ulti that was a pretty spot on analysis they got you with the
whole "Ulti's not going to elaborate so that if Yoshi wins he can talk
about how obvious it was, and if it's wrong he can back off by saying
it was just a gut feeling he didn't have any logic for." thing. But all of us have done the same thing, so it's not too big a deal. |

Ugh. I'm not sure I can take yet another close match with Missingno. @_@ Whoever wins will be crushed by Sephiroth though. --- Proud to be EPic. 2009-10 New Jersey Nets: 6-53 - No longer chasing history! |

Crono
is still strong, just not as strong as he used to be. He's dropped
really far. I wouldn't be surprised if he got six seeded or something
for CBIX. --- (|| ' ' ||) Visio Vestri - Character Battle VIII Fanfiction Project . /|_|\ http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=53091233 |

Look
at all you sissies in fear voting for Yoshi. This is what the make-up
of your average Snake fan is? Sephiroth fans? We were voting for
Missingno. because we wanted Sephiroth to get the glory of knocking it
out. This post is so stupid that it could only have been made by a Sephiroth fanboy. Pre-emptive stats! Yoshi – 50.00% Missingno – 49.72% Crono – 49.43% Jak – 23.38% LOL Jak. I said 5 minutes into that match that it was probably platformer SFF. Yoshi putting a beatdown on Jak says nothing about his strength. --- "I can set you free, mate."

By normal I mean non-rallied. And we have no idea what a non-rallied Missingno means (well ignoring the whole "Missingno never got enough nominations to make the contest until this year" thing.) We probably won't know until next year. His true "strength" could legitimately be anywhere from Yoshi to Guybrush. My intuition is that he probably has similar long term strength to WCC, but that's me just pulling a number out of thin air. |

In
fairness, sometimes it's really just not worth it to argue certain
picks for whatever reason. Like I could argue Snake's chances against
Sephiroth until the cows come home, but I don't see him being able to
shine until he hits Auron/Squall. So I just leave it at "I feel good
about his chances" and let it be. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Considering
that Missingno trashed the vote-in with no rallying I find that hard to
believe, but that just opens another can of worms. I wasn't here for the vote-in, but is there an obvious reason why Missingno wasn't rallied for that poll? That day's vote-in has the highest total combined votes of any vote-in poll, which suggests rallying for that day as well.

Actually,
I can easily understand people voting for Missingno. Pokemon was slow
as balls and no matter how much fans claim to love it, very, very few people actually wanted to level up all their Pokeys the old fashioned way. Missingno was a godsend.

characters may not be transitive, but Missingno let a Chrono Trigger
