I don't even class this Chrono person as one of the elite anyway.He always limps his way through the early rounds while the rest breeze through.


Yeah, he never beat MARIO handily or anything like that.


I said earlier round.

That was a little better. It's PROJECTION TIME!

Based on Crono vs. Kerrigan/Missile, Pikachu wins with 51.81%.

It's relevant if you have any respect for the contest mythology. They don't have the same aura as when they were undefeated, but it doesn't really matter. They're the noble nine.

Crono beat Mario back when Rareware and Camelot used to make good games. The times have changed.

It's pretty sad that Magus is dragging Crono harder than Wolf dragged Fox
Sure,Magus is stronger than Wolf...but Crono is stronger than Fox as well
We really need some forumla to calculate this

That's because Crono and Magus have more overlap. I'm really convinced now that Fox is getting more of his strength from Smash than he is from his own games.

Crono/Magus is almost going like their 1v1 match went. Amazing how this didn't change despite Crono arguably being much stronger than 70-30 indirectly nowadays
#469 | TheOneAboveAll | Posted 8/26/2013 9:27:04 AM | message detail
That's more like it, Crono! Now maybe a cut or two? Please?

Of course he is. Frankly, most of Fox's games suck. He hasn't had a really good game come out since the N64.

I don't see how Magus losing to Otacon is better than Crono losing to Pikachu for CT fans
At least we know Pikachu is strong...Magus losing to Otacon would just show how much Magus fallen over the years

By the way, I don't know how much chance Crono really has of outfighting Pikachu in the last hour, but if it's within 300 at 11 PM, I'm not going to give up hope.

For sure. Crono spiked massively that update. I would expect a big drop soon to make up for it.

I must give Crono some respect
Being so strong by having only one game is really an achievment (yeah I know Cloud and Sephiroth are from only game game too,ignoring spin-offs...but they are from a giant series as well..and no Chrono Cross doesn't count)
I really can't think of any other character that has some strength here but he is from a single game that doesn't have sequals or spin-off games


edit: YEAH DRAVEN DOESNT COUNT TOO

It was Otacon's first match, he could have had decent strenght. I blame the MGS fans for this.

Crono still gained 3% from this point on against Missile/Kerrigan. And that was with a Missile rally that damaged his percentage by probably at least 1%. Let's say 1.5%. He's currently at 44.48% on Pikachu, so that same increase would give him 49%.

Which, given current votals, is........about 600 votes. Well.....a pathway to victory appears?

Excellent performance by Pikachu, but hopefully Pokemon fans are smart next round and give most of this to Blue. I doubt it, but he'd be the most epic final 9er. I can dream.

That was just an observation.

Even if Pikachu climbed back to 50% in the near future, Crono will push him back under at night in a worst-case scenario.

People literally whining about a surprising result that doesn't involve rallying.

Do you guys really prefer everything being the exact f***ing same every damn time? Would you prefer this to be like 2003, where Magus would be crushing Pikachu?

It's nice to see Pikachu go from struggling to beat Parappa the Rapper to being able to go toe-to-toe, if not beating a N9er. He's come a long way from even his crazy runs in multi-ways. He certainly couldn't come close to Crono in 08.
