remember how people were whining about supposed misingno vote stuffing for the exact same reason last round

and then it turned out there was significantly less than crono was getting

remember


Bacon *caught* less Missingno stuffers. If the votes were getting through, then clearly they weren't being caught.

If the match is close enough and people still think there was enough cheating to turn the tide, send SB a feedback ticket about it.

whats more likely; people vote stuffing for missingno are aware of undetectble methods that other vote stuffers dont know about or

the incredibly visible rallying around the internet is creating somewhat inconsistent voting patterns

What does that have to do with my point? No one was arguing last round about whether more of the caught stuffers would be for Crono or Missingno.

Sephiroth is way ahead of Crono and Yoshi.If there are like 10000 twitter accounts rallying then he would lose but I think he can win with around 60%.Even as low as 55% but still he wins.

Seph should have no problem taking care of MN. Considering it's a night match, the monster ASV won't exist, too. It was a weak performance against Vincent, yes, but rSFF is a very cruel mistress.

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.

Last round, Missingno managed to get over 55% in California. I'm pretty sure that Missingno will win California again.

Sephiroth should be the favourite going into next round, but with it being a night vote Missingno would need less votes to rally in order to win and Sephiroth's board vote could give Missingno fans hope.

Indirectly stronger. In a head-to-head match with Charizard? I'm not sure. I think I would still go with Missingno. but there's potential for a lot of rSFF in that match.

I've gotta go with Charizard against Missingno. It's very, very hard for me to give any Pokemon the edge over Charizard; he was huge everywhere and has the badass appeal Pikachu doesn't without as much hate.

Yes, very good, especially recently. Missingno's problem seems to be that, unlike prime L-Block and WCC, he's not a frontloaded character. He starts out even and counts on later rallies and the day vote to get him through as the match goes on. He can't afford to "start out even" against Seph and then make it up in the dead of night. I don't think there's any character in the whole field who can actually gain percentage on Seph during the late night vote. Maybe Cloud. Maybe.

It's not as though I'm worried. This is what I wanted. I just never thought I'd see Yoshi jobbing with the ASV to Missingno.

And like I said, going 50/50 with Yoshi and Crono does not a Sephiroth defeater make.

Most of the idiot joke fans would already want Sephiroth to lose anyways, so I'm not seeing how Snake gains all that much anyways.

It was basically a massive stall by Vincent after that first hour, including a few good stretches where he was able to take back a decent amount of percentage. Seph didn't really 'catch fire' until the morning vote... which is relatively speaking, of course.

Missingno's winning the ASV, hurray! As I said earlier, this isn't surprising- the NES and SNES generations are voting for Yoshi, the N64 generation (part of which is still in high school) is voting for Missingno.

In the vote-in poll, Missingno actually was very frontloaded, falling from 19% in the first hour to 15.5% by the end of the day. It did well in the ASV that day too but couldn't match its incredible first few hours. There's a difference between being frontloaded in a poll starting at midnight and one starting at noon though......a very big difference.
