MissingNo? really?
It's not even a character, it's a glitch, it has no story...
how can than beat 2 other characters?


NoFunAllowedFAQs


that's right, NoFunAllowedFAQs still has a chance here

and judging by Masa's ridiculous reactions to this match I'd say it's a brighter future for all of us

I'm talking so much rubbish. The sequel isn't even till the next division!

Tidus starts the third hour better than he finished the second, at least.

I kind of wish SBAllen didn't have to put both Tidus and Rikku up against two jokes in round 1...and then Auron gets one in round 2. Even with wins, Auron, Tidus, and Yuna are all then forced into matches with other Final Fantasy characters. FFX got a really bad draw this contest.

Tidus is clearly stronger than Alucard (I think), but unfortunately he's not up against Falcon here. Even if he could mount a comeback, he'd need a mighty lead by the time it was over because people will rally or stuff Missingno. if it really gets to that point.

It's not really clear. Alucard/Tidus would be a hotly debated match.

...maybe in Tidus's favor if he can finally work one over on the Pokeglitch!

I think holding up to a guy that beat Crono is better than holding up to Captain Falcon.

Granted, Tidus hasn't come back yet... I guess that's just assuming he can. Even if he keeps it as close as it is now, that's pretty good evidence Tidus is pretty decent.

On this vote stuffer - while there's a good chance he's completely full of s***, but lot of people thought the George Romero thing was BS too, and they were wrong.

Also based on this match Tidus is almost Sephiroth level.

Dat FFSHD boost.

Yep, I was feeling pretty bad about this one. I felt pretty good about Squall early on and only waffled between Squall/The Miz once I went all in for Pokemon. Since I was taking Pokemon in just about everything else, it only made sense to take it here as well, but it's not to be. Heck, I'd even argue that the better Pokemon does in R2, the worse Missingno's chances are. Wins by Mewtwo, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Pokemon Trainer Blue will get people even sicker of Missingno/Pokemon in general when it's the glitch's turn against Squall.

So what you're saying is Missingno will win when Amichaelcole interferes to stop Jerry "Whatever" Lawler from grabbing the WWE Championship.

i don't think anyone will have that great of expectations for Tidus after this. doubling Banjo isn't exactly a feat of strength.

Then assuming roughly consistent Tidus, you should probably take Tidus to beat Alucard!

Augh Tidus why must you be so uncharismatic.

If this was Auron I think he'd be winning.

Hell, Yuna might put a much bigger scare in the glitch.

Missingno +10 for the latest half hour. Tidus definitely stalling him out, but it remains to be seen if he can build decent momentum of his own. Comebacks have been vanishingly rare this year.

Victim blamer. NO ONE deserves to be abused. NO ONE! And Tidus haters should redirect their hate at Jecht. Cause it's better to be whatever Tidus haters hate him for than being abusive.

Jecht was the true victim there, a victim of the cruel fates which gave him Tidus as a son.

Blaming Jecht is victim blaming too.

While that last point isn't so cut-and-dry, I'm honestly surprised that Tidus is even this close to Missingno in the first place. You'd think that Missingno would be one of the best characters to take advantage of Tidus's anti-votes, then again maybe note. Maybe anti-votes are mitigated in this format (helping to give credence to my theory about Master Chief sucking due to his generic character design)?

Missingno's suffering from that sophomore joke backlash (I have no idea how anyone possibly argued with a straight face this thing wasn't a joke, really guys). Tidus is the beneficiary of its anti-votes because he's the best person positioned to take it down today.

In some ways it's a better setup than what Squall will have next round despite him being a lot weaker, since DogFAQs is way outta Banjo's league.

Missingno has a crazy spike at the end of the hour to finish it at Missingno +14. This is the problem with Tidus's attempt to comeback so far - you expect some wonky updates, but they seem to be completely one-sided against him despite the fact that he's winning the majority of the updates.

Doesn't bode well.

A major difference is that Missingno should get the clutch, so if its close Tidus loses.

Also I don't think Tidus is as strong overnight as Alucard - I might be wrong there though. Anyone know about that?

Really hope Tidus wins somehow though, these inanimate characters were fun at first but have long overstayed their welcome IMO.

And that's two in a row. One or two more and I'll be ready to finally call it absent the possibility of votes being removed.

...and that's probably nonzero taking a glance at the Geolocation map

Edit: I should probably specify I'm also lumping Tidus in with that too. Hey if they'll do it for GUYBRUSH
