Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!!
Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi

Missingno hasn't led at the freeze yet. I know Sephiroth's on an entirely different plane than Yoshi and Crono, but I want to wait about 15-20 minutes to see how it'll play out (unless Sephiroth's got like 55%+ at the freeze, otherwise it's over).

I'd call Missingno a pretty huge favorite if he's got 60% at the freeze.

I mean seriously, sox, Pikachu had 52% at the freeze and Snake was barely able to turn 7%. If Missingno has 60% one update in, Seph has to turn 10 huge percentage points just to get things tied, and you KNOW people are gonna stay up and make that job even more difficult if Missingno has such an incredible start. Seph better at least 45% at the freeze, otherwise, I'm crapping bricks.

Analysis

This match has received very little hype when you consider that this is one of the most anticipated matches of the entire contest. One reason could be that instead of having a relatively even split in bracket support this match is really lopsided in Squall’s favour. Another problem is that there aren’t any factors worth discussing that would favour one over the other. Even right now I’m reduced to nit-picking the previous two rounds and the performances of other characters related to these two guys.

In the first round Auron was able to perform as expected against Aerith, but as it was said before performing as expected isn’t enough to win over Squall. To add to things Final Fantasy VII hasn’t been looking that great this contest which doesn’t help Auron’s case. In the second round Auron actually underperformed against Zero, but at the same time it seems that Mega Man characters have rebounded a bit since their last contest.

Squall also performed as expected in the first round which keeps him at least constant with his 2007 performance. The second round had Terra not only avoiding SFF, but also putting up a decent performance against Squall. First failing to SFF an opponent does not imply that a character is weak, just ask Samus and second I think it’s safe to say that Dissidia played a large role in giving Old Final Fantasy characters a boost this contest. Bowser was able to cleanly defeat Sora earlier this round after letting Kefka put up decent numbers on him. On the other hand the match could mean bad things for Squall because of Sora, but it seems all things Kingdom Hearts related has taken a hit this year.

I don’t think the contest has changed anyone’s perception of this match. The match will be close unless SFF becomes a factor, but I don’t see Auron getting the extra strength to push him over the top. I feel that a lot of Auron’s support comes from the fact that he was able to easily defeat Sonic in the previous contest. Personally I think Squall could have done the same thing in that contest and the only reason he didn’t in 2007 was because of Brawl hype. Auron does have a chance for an upset, but right now I’m just not seeing it.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Squall > Auron

charmander6000’s Prediction: Squall wins, 52.11% - 47.89%

It's possible. I won't deny that Sonic has looked better this year than the last two years, but back in 2007, I think Squall would have beat him.

If you assume Ken = Akuma, it predicts Sonic winning with 51.58%. Any extra weirdness with Bacondorf or anything like that, and it gets closer.

Sounds like a solid argument for Akuma > Ken to me though!

So Squall continues on his quest of only losing once outside of the noble nine, and has the same record as Chrono,but doesn't get in.

I think the Auron supporters' biggest argument was that Auron beat Sonic and Squall didn't, so I think there was still some skepticism about it.
---

I still say Ken > Akuma, but only slightly because I'd take Squall over Ganondorf with a percentage either similar to or a bit larger than this one.

Nah, I think Squall and Auron would beat Ganondorf pretty easily at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if they could both put up 55% on him. Vincent, too.

Speaking of which, Akuma = Ken projects Squall to beat Ganondorf with 55.78%.
---
Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created.

Auron was always a fine pick, and I'm actually surprised he didn't get more support, but Squall's near-win over Vincent in 2005 sealed this match for me right away. I figured if Squall can nearly equal the FFVII party badass, he can beat the X version, even if the X version is that game's strongest character.

Eh, I haven't been impressed with Ganondorf in a while. Nearly losing to Luigi in 2007 even without a bad pic was sign enough to me that he wasn't as strong as he used to be. I don't think that match is close, and Vinny won with 52.5%~ back in 2006 anyway.

Placeholder anti-capslock sig.

I mean seriously, sox, Pikachu had 52% at the freeze and Snake was barely able to turn 7%. If Missingno has 60% one update in, Seph has to turn 10 huge percentage points just to get things tied, and you KNOW people are gonna stay up and make that job even more difficult if Missingno has such an incredible start. Seph better at least 45% at the freeze, otherwise, I'm crapping bricks.

Well, Sephiroth is going to be able to turn a lot more than Snake's 7%, by virtue of being Sephiroth. I think Crono/Vincent 2007 trends will be more or less applicable tonight, and Crono had 60% at the freeze in that one. Vincent turned 10% by noon. Just yesterday we saw Cloud turn 11% from the freeze to noon. I think Missingno's dropoff is going to be worse than Crono's if anything, based on the vote-in poll- even if he "loses" the first update to Crono, he'll still win the first hour over him considerably sans rallying, meaning that his first update relative to the rest of the match is probably better than Crono's.

Basically, if Missingno only has 60% at the freeze, I expect to see something like this for the hourlies without rallying:

1 AM 56%
2 AM 53%
3 AM 51%
4 AM 49%
5 AM 41%
6 AM 39%
7 AM 45%
8 AM 45%
9 AM 45%
10 AM 45%
11 AM 44%
12 PM 44%

Missingno can't win with that, without a lot of rallying.

I don't think so. I'd probably take Crono over Snake in the sprite round, and since Crono and Squall are likely quite close, that probably extends to Squall too. Snake still ended up winning with over 55% too.

Originally I switched from Squall to Auron but I thought about it and decided to just go with which character I prefer more. Plus Final Fantasy VIII being a huge recent hit on PSN was just enough to tip the scale for me.

Well, Crono and Vincent are on the same strength level (or close enough) and Yoshi's a step below. Vincent had 41.79% at the freeze. I know they have better board votes than Vincent, but I don't think it'd be good enough to get the lead on Sephiroth.

What do you think got it at 60% in the first place?

It's not really the same thing. What gets Missingno a lead early is the hype and excitement that this match has been generating ever since Missingno beat Crono. Natural trends also play a huge part in it.

When I say "rallying," I mean for people to go out further, and bring people to the match on the day of the match. Though yes, Missingno will almost certainly get this too. The problem is that without it, and with only 60% at the freeze, Sephiroth probably wins with 52% or more, so that's already at least 2000 votes Missingno needs to rally- and the time of the match is not conducive to rallying for the reason that most people will be asleep for most of the match.
---
Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!!
Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi

You're either overestimating Missingno's board vote and drop off, underestimating Sephiroth's board vote or secretly know a bunch of sites that are assembling people to vote right at the beginning of the match.

Why expect a serge of voters when they certainly weren't there against Crono and Yoshi?

Assuming no mass rallying at the start I expect Sephiroth to actually perform better during the board vote compare to what we are use to since there seems to be an anti-rallying group forming on this board.
