I
hate the MK-example for Sub-Zero; there aren't a lot of people who care
about MK anymore and it didn't even release the day of the match (I
think it was two days before). Nobody's taking MC in a rematch anyway.
Let's collectively agree that example sucks, please. Still, FF13 was without a doubt the most hyped game here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3703 Lightning broke 36% on Sonic without an American release, too...so yeah, there was definitely hype for today here. Considering this is a FAQ-site and RPG-funzone, it would be no surprise if some FF-characters in the next few days over-performed, especially today. If Cloud terrifyingly kills CF tomorrow, we'll have some more proof. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

People
gave reasons as to why Missingno would not increase in popularity, but
no one gave any reasons as to why he would suddenly drop. I did for many topics. My reasoning back then was that Yoshi was a much harder character to rally against because of him being so loved. I was using SMB/Warcraft of an example. It didn't work out that way, but it was still an interesting theory on how Yoshi could have won. I still think it had an effect in the match, but it wasn't enough apparently. --- Good Times, Great Memories |
red sox 777 | Posted 3/9/2010 10:38:57 AM | message detail |
Nah,
Ulti, transience, and others talked at length about how Yoshi was
universally liked and was therefore the ideal counter for a joke
character. I specifically remember multiple people claiming that Yoshi
would be a harder barrier for MN than Sephiroth. Although, even if Missingno was perfectly linear between those 2 matches, it probably still doesn't look all that horrible for Crono when you realize that Crono probably wins with around 52% without rallying, and Missingno ended up winning with 51.5%. Since that was a day match, it probably translates into 56%+ for Crono over Yoshi in a 24-hour match. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!!

Er....51.5% on Yoshi. 51.5 - 48 = 3.5 + 2.5 for the difference between a day and night match = 56% for Crono over Yoshi. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

He
could have. It all depends on how low you're putting Crono. If Crono is
still up there with Sonic and Vincent in the bottom tier of elites,
then MissingNo definitely did falter between rounds. --- Calling Pokemon RBY a top 10 game was the most insane contest jibba-jabba ever Woe unto he who sig bets with the near-invincible Lord High creativename |

It
was pretty obvious that there was more rallying in Crono/Missingno
based on vote totals. How the rallied votes split is up for debate. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 125/160 - Today's Winners: Samus and Zelda |
red sox 777 | Posted 3/9/2010 10:45:38 AM | message detail |
And
56% really isn't satisfactory for a 24-hour match, since Squall got 58%
last year. But Crono can get to the 55-56% area without any decrease in
Missingno's strength from round to round, other than MN not needing to
really rally against Yoshi. If you do believe that Yoshi is a counter
to joke characters, Crono can reach 58% or higher, which would be
satisfactory. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

From: Haguile | #258 Your best-case scenario was Jecht being on the same level as Travis Touchdown? From: LOLContests | #268 If Tidus was my kid, I'd act like Jecht too! Anyway, if Jecht is really getting a FF13 release boost, wouldn't the votals be higher than usual from the fresh influx of casual fans who are visiting the site? I should check the votals. --- Not Wylvane |

Jecht
is a guy who barely beat Phoenix Wright and Ratchet. Yet he has 40% on
Zelda in the day? How is this possible? I'll tell you. This is the
power of the FFXIII boost. |

*IF*
Missingno was transitive between rounds 1 and 2, he won't break 40% on
Seph. If Yoshi was his biggest obstacle, he might make it all the way
to Link. --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.· Writhe in my cage of torment, my friend. |

From: charmander6000 | #274 Now I want to compare Jecht's votals today to his previous matches, except his first two matches were in the night while today's is a day match. **** it, I'll post them anyway. 2:01/14:01 vs Phoenix: 7781 vs Ratchet: 7678 vs Zelda: 6421 Not very useful since, you know, night/day difference and all, but what the hell! --- Not Wylvane |

Not_Wylvane | Posted 3/9/2010 11:09:20 AM | message detail |
But
my original point is that if FF13 really was boosting Jecht, this match
would have higher votals. Look at Mario/Cloud, even though that's an
extreme example and a really shaky one considering the massive rallying
Mario got. But then that's the only comparable match we have anyway. So this probably isn't so much FF13 release boost as much as Jecht actually being this strong and, more likely, Zelda being much weaker. What does Jecht need on Zelda for Ratchet to escape being doubled by her? --- Not Wylvane |

Hochimihnister | Posted 3/9/2010 11:12:28 AM | message detail |
But my original point is that if FF13 really was boosting Jecht, this match would have higher votals. Why? The votals don't matter, only how well Jecht is doing on Zelda. And he's doing much better than he should. Look at Mario/Cloud Absolutely not. Worthless example. |

It's
not just going to bring in new fans (At least not yet, wait a few days
before they get the game and need to use the strategy guides). For now,
it's putting the site as a whole in FF mode. |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 3/9/2010 11:15:20 AM | message detail |
From: charmander6000 | #280 So Zelda can't even double Ratchet. Something is definitely off about this match. Jecht is getting a FF13 boost, Ratchet and Phoenix have boosted and Jecht is legit, Zelda has significantly dropped, or a combo of the three. My money's on a Zelda drop myself. Phoenix and Ratchet have no real reason to boost, and the votals certainly contradict any indication of a FF13 boost today. --- Not Wylvane |
Hochimihnister | Posted 3/9/2010 11:17:51 AM | message detail |
Votals are irrelevent to a FFXIII boost. Who uses votals
for a legitimate argument? Jecht always has bad totals. A worthless
argument. The correct answer is Zelda losing a step in conjunction with
a FFXIII boost. Sorry, but Ratchet doesn't go from 19% on Dante and
barly beating Nana to being on Ezio's level |

The
vote-totals is a valid enough argument against FF13 boosting Jecht

contest in R1/R2...so I don't know how valid that is to defend him. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

than trying to figure it out yourself? Is that really what gamers have

just gained .1% against Zelda in the ASV on that last update. Not only
is the FFXIII boost allowing FF characters to boost to incredible
levels, it is also allowing them to defy the very fabric of trends
themselves. |

irriadin | Posted 3/9/2010 12:51:38 PM | message detail |
Yea,
but it was an extremely arbitrary move to tie getting the most powerful
weapon in the game to not opening specific treasure chests throughout
the game. I mean, think about that. Not only does it make absolutely no
sense in the context of the game, but it encourages people not
to open chests! The game designer is supposed to reward players for
opening chests and such. Granted, some of the chests are Mimics, but
those give you a substantial reward once you kill them. FYI, FFXII is my 2nd favorite FF, but that Zodiac Spear thing is just horrific game design. --- "I do read sometimes." Mat Cauthon, The Wheel of Time. |
