All I can think of is that Missingno has a great chance right now.

Character Battle VIII - 141/176 - Today's Winners: Solid Snake and Squall

From what I recall, Missingno did the worst during the dead hours.

Sephy will cream him during that time, and I am not sure if he has what it takes to survive that timeframe, with less votals in a night match. Missingno will have to rely entirely on his Power Hour, which is not as good as Crono and Yoshi's. Granted, Crono and Yoshi have awesome Power Hour's on their own, and Sephy's sucks, but Sephy will be bringing the pain from 3-7 or so.
MetricTrout | Posted 3/11/2010 5:31:28 AM | message detail
On the other hand, if Missingno beats Sephiroth, should he be considered the favorite against Link?
Wii_TuRtLe | Posted 3/11/2010 5:44:20 AM | message detail
Just saw the result

lol snake

Looks like either Snake has dropped to below where he was in 2006, or Pikachu is a legit contender for near-elite status. Sprite round or not, this is ugly.

Missingno's board vote could be stronger in a night match than in a day match.

Snake has lost his boosted status from Brawl and MGS4 hype. He's probably back down to being the weakest of the N9, or at least second weakest (next to Crono).

So...we bet against the MGS series in debated matches in the next games contest?
Not_Wylvane | Posted 3/11/2010 7:40:48 AM | message detail
I'm just happy Pikachu is as strong as I thought him to be. Even in a non-sprite round match, I'd expect him to break 40%, and just imagine what Pikachu would do in a day match!

Missingno won't have his Pokemon fanbase with him this time, so he's going to have to rely on joke votes against Sephiroth. It's feasible, but Seph isn't Crono! Seph has most of the advantages, so all Missingno can do is hope to keep it competitively close and that rallies will arise to keep him even with Seph for the rest of the match.

If Missingno can beat Seph in the night, it will deserve to win the contest.

Pikachu impressing makes Crono and Yoshi look great, aww yeah!

Guybrush remake = Guybrush to finally win a match sometime around CBXVIII aww yeah!

Bowser/Pikachu: We're basically getting this in a few days with Bowser/Zard. Unless it is extremely close (<.5%) I take whoever wins that match to win Bowser/Pika. I except Bowser but a Zard upset wouldn't be impossible.

Yoshi/Pika: I pick Yoshi out of bias and what he did to a joke-boosted Missingno. Still it would be close, and if Zard can beat Bowser then I'd definitely swing toward Pika.

I can't show this without the trends for the vote-in poll, but I'm almost certain that Missingno did substantially better in the first 12 hours than the last 12 hours in that poll.

And Snake is fine. He's probably still around his 2006 strength, even if he's fallen off his 2008 strength (and that's not conclusive yet). Pikachu did well enough that I think Megaman and Crono, and maybe Sonic, should be favored over him in the sprite round, but in a normal round he'll be fine.

ToadYoshi | Posted 3/11/2010 8:48:46 AM | message detail
I agree that Snake is fine. In a match with relatively little SFF, the votes were going to be skewed against a blowout, and Pokémon has impressed with almost every opportunity in this contest. Combined with Sprei Round knocking him down a percent or two he looks ok.Obviously not Steroid Snake anymore but not bottom-tier NN either.

LeonhartFour | Posted 3/11/2010 8:53:16 AM | message detail
The reason Snake is still going up is the reason Cloud and Sephiroth go up most of the poll. He was so far below where he would normally be that he has nowhere to go but up.

Or you could say the opposite about Pikachu, I guess.

Huh. About even then. Sephiroth should be about even too, so the day/night thing probably doesn't matter too much. Rallying is worth more in a match with fewer votes though.

The reason Snake is still going up is the reason Cloud and Sephiroth go up most of the poll. He was so far below where he would normally be that he has nowhere to go but up.

Pikachu was cutting into Snake's percentage during the early part of the morning vote (the BSV period). Once we got out of the early part of the morning vote and moved into the later part (the DSV), that's when Snake started going up again.

Night match. Considering how well Missingno did with the ASV v. Yoshi, this is a legitimate argument.
