Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 861

It should be a lot different against Sephiroth, but hell, you might be right. A lot of people here aren't buying into this Missingno crap at all. I doubt people will care nearly as much about brackets by then (few Gurus will be left alive, for example), but maybe they'll just want the glitch killed before it wins the contest. I still think it wrecks Seph in the opening five, though.


It's like I said earlier: Killing Crono was a great start, but unlike 2007, jokes have vocal detractors now. There are far more people who want MN snuffed out ASAP than in 2007 with L.

Wow, 59% updates for Missingno. Missingno couldn't even do that against Crono. I know Missingno pulled off a 57% update on him though, near the end of the match.

I'm guessing these huge updates are a product of heavy Nintendo SFF.

Odd that he's winning the ASV though, since I'd half expect the kiddies who primarily vote in the ASV to not have even been three years old when the first gen came out.

This isn't that surprising. Charizard did the same against Kratos.

4chan is not the only place on the internet that rallies.

It's obvious that rally is happening - how much is debatable - but you'd be daft to deny it exists.

Yoshi led all day until just now. Missingno is demolishing this ASV. Scary indeed, but he doesn't get this advantage against Seph.

Yoshi had the lead, MissingNo. beasted all over his face around 2:50, pulled a 59% update, people too busy laughing to consider the possibility of stuffing.

Also, since he's not godstomping Yoshi, odds of him losing to Sephiroth are good.

Time | Yoshi | Missingno
1:00 | 50.98% | 49.02%
2:00 | 49.56% | 50.44%
3:00 | 47.50% | 52.50%

Man, what a Power Hour for Yoshi. Makes me wonder how on earth did he lose the board vote and Power Hour to Sora last contest. I mean yeah, Fox was there to LFF Yoshi, but Squall should have handicapped Sora a little bit. That, and Sora's board vote sucks compared to Yoshi's.

Unless it's LUELinks or some Pokemon site, it's not currently rallying; it's "rallying."

And for the love of god, stop acting like 4chan means something in these contests.

If it were up to them, Mudkip would have won every match he was in since 2007 and wouldn't have missed the bracket.

Only, like, 100 of them give a rat's ass about our contests.

TRE has it.

Unlike any other Pokemon character, Missingno. hasn't been seen in well over a decade, and the "kiddies" alive around that time were either in pre-school or learning to wipe their own asses. There's no reason for them to favor MN over Yoshi.

OK, there's no hard proof at the moment of anything, but I am beginning to suspect that there is some rallying going on. These are huge numbers for a performance against a fellow Day Character.

Seems people here don't understand the ASV. The ASV has a large spike in votes compared to the during school hours, due to many more people here to vote. Yoshi has stayed stable in votes; That is the sign of a character losing the ASV, because he should be getting more votes per update due to the more votes coming in due to the ASV. Missingno is the only one benefiting from the spike of votes that come from the ASV. This means that he is without a doubt winning the ASV on his own. Rallying/cheating wouldn't have any effect on the vote intake Yoshi is having.

...Wait, wait, wait.

Missingno...MISSINGNO...Is beating YOSHI IN THE ASV?
...What...
...HOW.

I voted for Missingno and I have him winning in my bracket but, I really, REALLY didn't expect this.


Yoshi had the lead, MissingNo. beasted all over his face around 2:50, pulled a 59% update, people too busy laughing to consider the possibility of stuffing.

Also, since he's not godstomping Yoshi, odds of him losing to Sephiroth are good.


Missingno is the master of making matches entertaining though. He will have a lead over Seph for a while, but will probably lose. The first hour or so will be really fun to watch.

Does Yoshi still have a chance?

How about making it a Pokeball-power that either duplicates every item on the stage or instant-kills everyone once?

I don't know Missingno well, but that's what I gather.

*Everyone* boosts with the ASV/Day Vote. Characters that do well with this just boost by more. If Yoshi's votals aren't increasing, then it's a sign the ASV hasn't arrived yet.

Missingno is at 50% on Cali and was down a few updates ago. The Cali kids could easily be just as kind to the glitch as anyone else. I think Missingno will end this with easy wins in all the big states.

The top tiers will overwhelmingly favor Crono winning the match. It would be ugly if Yoshi won but it'll be worse with Missingno. winning. Missinono. doesn't exactly have casual support either so even brackets with lower scores will do poorly.
