Really all there is to say about this, oh Crono. At least it looks like he'd BARELY beat Pikachu 1 on 1.

LOL to all the people who though Crono would beat Pikachu with Magus in the poll! This match always felt like an Pikachu win for me.



God, if you are out there you will STRIKE THIS HEATHEN DOWN.


I'm surprised Crono isn't wearing a suit.

Crono should get better as the day progresses into night. With perhaps a small snapback around 3 PM for the last vestiges of the ASV.


Looking at the trends from last week's matches, there didn't seem to be any ASV at all. Maybe this week will give us some really diluted ASV trends.

You're calling this already? Cocky much?

This is pretty much going down how I expected. Poll starts out with Pikachu taking over half of the vote, then Pikachu bleeds a couple percentage throughout the match to still easily win.

this is a sad day for all of us old contest veterans. A noble niner defeated by this thing that used to be obliterated by Fox


This. If this result holds, the Noble Nine is truly dead. It was never just about the streak, it was about characters and their contest dominance. Now, though, it's truly over.


Crono is not a NN worthy ever since 2006 or something
What are you crying about?
If it was Squirtle>Cloud or something like that then it would make sense

Crono! That's not good enough! This isn't 1v1, it's not enough to bring Pikachu's percentage under 50%!

Argh. If/when Crono goes down I really don't think there's anything left in this contest I'm looking forward to.

How terrible!

I think using the streak to define the Noble Nine was always a flawed method. It's more about the top 9 characters. Probably not the top 9 anymore.

So who's legitimately stronger than Crono? Charizard? Luigi? Mega Man X?

I think you can remove Cloud and add in Mega man. There's obviously no CT boost, just Cloud bombing hard.

And that was with a Missile rally holding Crono down. Without it, he'd have probably gone up at least 6%.

Alright yeah I'm back

The noble nine is the noble nine. They defined the first, like, 6-8 years of this contest, and they're still pretty strong. Yes, they can lose matches, but they're still an elite group of special characters. They cannot and will not ever "die"...well, unless one of them gets snubbed from a contest at some point, but that'd be lame.

xp1337 just stop. It's okay. Given likely trends Crono makes this look good, makes it clear he'd kick Pikachu's ass cleanly 1-1, and we settle for that.

Hm, being generous to Crono and assuming he goes up by 6% as suggested, it could wind up very close indeed. Maybe, just maybe, The Noble Nine are still themselves.

That's the old noble nine. Now we have a new noble nine. Just wait two years when the X180 and PS4 get established. We will see characters from the 360 and PS3 get stronger.

The noble nine is simply the term for the nine strongest of the first several contests. There can't be a noble nine again.

Also welcome to the league of draven etc.
