Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1137

Oh, 4chan did this again.

I guess this makes sense. 4chan messed with GS's contests from the word "go," but never touched ours outside of very minor BattleToads/Bidoof/etc rallies. But now that our votals have crashed, I suppose 4chan finally sees some potential for tomfoolery here.

I would venture to guess we're about to see WCC return with a vengeance. Also, Vivi's prediction percentage should be among the lowest in contest history.

People still think Missingno winning tomorrow would be an 'upset', huh

Somehow people still view Pokemon as scrappy underdogs.

It's like they don't even pay attention.

Vivi, you see those down 144 and up 243 updates?

I tried rallying for Mario on r/nintendo like ten hours ago, but the mods said they blocked my post from the new tab because two other guys submitted rally threads within minutes of mine. So they decided to block all three of them.

Heck if I know how to use that website.

This is the second-closest W2W match of all time, unless a huge late Mario rally spoils it.

It was only above SotC > MGS2's max lead of 188 for two updates, as well

Vivi's streak had BETTER be from rallying and not from vote stuffing.

The U of U vs. Utah State football game is neck and neck right now, too, but....that's nothing compared to this match! But I will likely regret watching the GFAQs match....

Why this was ever an argument I don't know. I always argue for Mario and have never used this! If that mattered Mario/Crono wouldn't have been 50/50, and he wouldn't constantly get beat by Sephiroth!

A Crono/Mario-esque update could cause a lead change IN ONE UPDATE. I'm still on the edge of my seat.

Don't forget L-Block's resurgence, Squirtle curbstomping Dante, The Boss coming close to Sub-Zero... etc.

It's been nuts. And it isn't going to ease up either. The rallies are just getting more and more bats***.

"Up 243" is more votes than the peak lead in this match.

It's more votes than Mario's peak lead in that match against Crono too! And 100 votes higher than Mario's 2nd biggest update of the day.

It absolutely has relevance here. Ever since the whole Warcraft thing, Mario's commonly been considered kryptonite for rallies.

Like ZFS, I never really bought into this, personally. But if anyone here did, well, here's your nail in the coffin.

Seal the deal Vivi. If we can just push off Mario's clutch for 40 more minutes......
