Alright,
I just figured out that a total of 94 votes were removed from Guybrush.
All 94 votes came during the first hour of the match. That explains
why Guybrush was killing Max Payne for the first 26 minutes of the match
before Max Payne started stalling Guybrush again. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Karma Hunter posted... Hey uh does anyone know why we have a day off between the semifinals and the final match Bonus poll akin to the "Third place match" of Rivalry Rumble So if Cloud gets to the final, we get Snake/Samus/Sephiroth If Snake gets there, we get Cloud/Sephiroth/Samus Go Cloud --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |
Consistently inconsistent is consistent also i thought the <3 displayed my joking nature, perhaps i should have used ;) or ;p --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, 49ers and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) Professional UotY Mentor to Leo3Leo, McFlubbin and Jeff Zero |

Guybrush Stuffwood, seriously? To what depths will people sink? Turns out that all of Link's contest wins are fradulent! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Karma Hunter posted...Hey uh does anyone know why we have a day off between the semifinals and the final match Ew those matches aren't even really that interesting (Snake/Samus/Seph kind of but Seph should have more overlap with Snake if the BR is anything to judge by). Hopefully we'll get Samus > Cloud/Seph to hopefully build more backlash for the final~ --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
LeonhartFour posted... Karma Hunter posted...Hey uh does anyone know why we have a day off between the semifinals and the final match Snake/Samus/Sephiroth is the perfect match. FF7 vs Samus is dumb. --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
If he keeps doing that I may have to delay updating the top 10 just to make sure he has fully screened the match. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 51/64 Today's Picks: Vivi and Ganondorf |
Snake/Samus/Sephiroth is the ultimate match produce a heated 3-way race. It is the closest match to a 33.33/33.33/33.33 result. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Yeah unless Bacon removes more votes it looks like Max is just gonna stall from here to the end. Oh well! --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

That just seems so odd and underwhelming a number. --- *shrug* |
Clearly Guybrush stuffed 300 votes somewhere else because this should just be a tie the entire way otherwise. Chop chop Bacon --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
As for why all of Guybrush's stuffed votes came during the first hour: I'm guessing the vote stuffing from the previous match spilled over to this match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Mega Man/Crono/Sonic would be better than Snake/Samus/Sephiroth --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, 49ers and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) Professional UotY Mentor to Leo3Leo, McFlubbin and Jeff Zero |
Karma Hunter posted... No, wait, Ganondorf did beat Luigi in a fourway that one time before losing to him in the next round. But as Liquid demonstrated and Big Boss is gonna show us in a couple of weeks, that's not that impressive. Think you're not going to like those results, if you think Big Boss has it easy there. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

That would be more impressive if Big Boss didn't have some pretty clear cut paths over the years! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

Picking Big Boss > Mario wouldn't exactly help my argument. <_< --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Magus
I remember, that was the one tough one I was thinking about. Can't
believe Big Boss over Kirby was the upset at the time. In any case, I
haven't missed any either! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Well it looks like at least one of us is gonna have their streak snapped this year, then. Both of us if Big Boss can take down Sephiroth MAKE IT HAPPEN PUNISHED SNAKE --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
That
said, Big Boss is easier choice next round because of Ness, but I think
Luigi makes it close regardless (and would definitely win 1v1). Luigi
has had a lot of reason to benefit from these past few years, being more
relevant and in focus than he ever has been during these contests.
Hard to imagine that not being good for him. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Geemer02 posted...An additional Cheat Challenge should be created where users guess which of the three characters lose the most votes due to stuffers. Imagine the wild unpredictability of every match! --- I do not have a signature. |
Karma Hunter posted... Well it looks like at least one of us is gonna have their streak snapped this year, then. nah Luigi will push Ness to below Chester levels ...... damn it Ness why are you screwing up this match |
I'd take Luigi in a 1v1 as well but I'm not at all worried about BB. Ness hurts the Mean Green so much. Also, if BB cruises to an easy win, will that persuade anyone to give Drake a shot at Pokemon Trainer Blue? Anyone at all? --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |

Luigi has had a lot of reason to benefit from these past few years, being more relevant and in focus than he ever has been during these contests. Hard to imagine that not being good for him. Big Boss has more reason to boost the last few years than literally anyone else in the contest. --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
I hope Luigi SFFs Ness into the ground 50/45/5 Luigi/Big Boss/Ness LET'S GO --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Big
Boss has almost had this identical setup with Kirby and Lucas, and he
ended up beating both of them combined. By a ton. Luigi is stronger than
Kirby, yes... but not by that much. And not NEARLY as much as Ness is
stronger than Lucas. I feel about as confident as you can possibly feel
picking against Nintendo on this site. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
I'll
take what Luigi has had, a combination of big games and marketing, to
trump PW and a MGS5 announcement. Not that it will necessarily be the
winning formula with Ness hanging around, but I think 'biggest character
boost' going to Big Boss is exaggerated, though maybe up there because
of everyone else simply dropping or being stagnant, for one reason or
another. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
(I don't feel particularly good about Luigi to be honest... might flip on him for expert). Drake over Blue seems extremely unlikely, though. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Honestly,
my feelings on Drake, such as he can be considered to really have a
chance (I'll be charitable and put Blue as a 10:1 favorite right now),
will be influenced by what Luigi can do to Ness. If Ness hangs around a
lot and obviously costs Luigi the match by a lot, it'll mean there's
some potential for G&W to do the same. ...but really, G&W not getting ridiculously crushed seems hard for me to swallow, no matter what Ness does. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
I
took Drake over Blue in my bracket, but that was before Drake kinda
sucked against Pac-Man. Blue's about where I had him, but I figured
Drake would be more popular than he is. I guess there's Game & Watch
to consider, but I dunno. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
A 94 vote stuff seems oddly appropriate for Guybrush. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
From what I can figure, I believe some of these stuffed votes came from London in the UK. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
LordoftheMorons posted... I hope Luigi SFFs Ness into the ground Fox SFF'd Wolf as hard as you could possibly SFF someone and still lost. It's hard to imagine Luigi SFFing Ness that hard when Mario got 82% on Ness directly in 2005. Of course, Luigi has the benefit of being stronger than Big Boss already (presumably), so he's got a little wiggle room. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |

Chester didn't get SFF'd by anyone! --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |
Yeah, there is no way the Earthbound faithful is going to let Ness fall that low. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
But
seriously, Fox SFF'd Wolf down to Link/Ganondorf and Snake/Raiden
numbers, the kind of SFF differential you'd expect to see when the
fanbase so overwhelmingly prefers the winner that people who prefer the
loser are seen as weirdos (Hi Moltar, hi Lopen). I don't think that was
totally legit and I wouldn't expect to see Fox/Wolf go that way 1-on-1. I
think Star Fox fans were just smart enough to know who to give their
vote to if they wanted someone to advance. That's basically Luigi's best hope, that they'll react in a similar manner. I don't think the Earthbound contingent, regardless of how small it may be, will let that happen though. --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |
crazy
theory to make myself more confident in Luigi: Earthbound voters feel
burned by Nintendo and would vote Big Boss otherwise...! (lol) |
