You know, we actually did talk about a non-human contest before. Or an animal contest. Only nominate vieo game animals. Sonic would win but still.

Yeah, looks like it was just the board vote. Let's see if Missile can at least hold onto second place until the one-hour mark.


Missile gained 4 minutes ago

1 minute to next update..going to be interesting

That's impossible. Sonic is not a dog.

I think we should replace the sprite round with "pictures of the characters as dogs"

Yeah, I hadn't noticed the large gain when I made that post. Still saw the falling totals from the previous updates.

Considering the fact both games are Capcom I will be very surprised if Missile name isn't because of his AA counterpart


Shu Takumi was responsible for both the original Phoenix trilogy and Ghost Trick so this Missile is definitely referencing the AA one. All are great games.

Of course. Should've suspected 4chan would be involved with this. Of course, even with that huge spike, Crono's lead increased by more than 100.

#478 | TheOneAboveAll | Posted 7/31/2013 9:56:54 AM | message detail
Missile's not beating Crono anyway. This rally will probably let him beat Kerrigan. The only thing it can do is mess up Crono's percentage.
#479 | Not_Wylvane | Posted 7/31/2013 9:57:42 AM | message detail
Maybe if Missile were a cat, he'd be beating Crono right now.

If it was like in the L-Block contest that 2 characters make it to next round,Missile would probably get a bandwagon similar to what L-Block got
Too bad doing a second place upset in this contest doesn't matter

Yeah, in the end, this rally should end up being pretty meaningless. Crono's still going to win easily so unless Kerrigan manages to make it close at the end, the result should be legit.

Fair enough, assuming Missile's percentage is inflated (you doubt, forshame), Crono's got like 77% on Kerrigan right now... he was expected to get 81% back in his prime going through Vincent/Kerrigan, so assuming she's not hurting from LPF or anything it's not bad at all.

...Yeah, that's not happening. Crono's still picking up huge chunks over the other two. Good luck even being able to prevent a 100-vote loss.

(Well, at the moment, anyway. Vote totals are always at their highest early in the match, so if they can keep it going throughout the match, they might be able to eventually create some stalls.)
