Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1161

What the hell.


Par for this contest I guess....you literally have to expect the unexpected. Even if the "unexpected" involves expecting the previously expected winner to unexpectedly rally.

LFF is awful. Sora shouldn't even be in the match right now. >_>

Neither should Pikachu.


Unrallyed Pikachu would probably beat Sora 24 hours 1v1.


Oh, by "in the match" did you mean like keeping the votes close? I was talking about Pikachu literally being in this 3-pack because of LFF.

Another big cut, still above quota. Those updates were Sora's biggest vote intakes in 5 hours. Is Sora trying to rally here?


No, he just entered Final Form. C'mon Drive Gauge, hold out!

You don't want this to come down to an update or two Sora since you'll lose for sure.

****, LoL has even warped expectations too. "Expect The Unexpected" used to be Riot's slogan a year ago.

Pikachu is only here because of Crono/Magus. Blue may only be here because of Fox/Wolf. The only matches that exist where Pokemon happen to meet up is because of other matches where they took advantage of LFF.


That's fair. I did want Crono here anyways.

Yeah, I meant keeping it close. I'm totally fine with Crono being here instead.

Sora is expected to easily beat Pikachu 1v1. To be losing to him despite another Pokemon character in the poll is way beyond a disappointing performance from him.

Sora is still mad about that time Snake embarrassed him in 05. He's going to do everything he can to win this match so that Snake loses to a turtle next round.

No, I would have taken Pikachu to beat Sora 1v1. He went 45/55 against Snake in 2010, which is more than Sora would have done.

Over the last 3 updates though, I think he's on pace still. I can't remember what the cut was before the 7-vote gain for Pika, gamefaqscontests isn't loading for me.

Crono's actually used this contest to mostly redeem himself!

Sure, it wasn't quite the REDEMPTION I was hoping for, but given everything that's happened Crono's turned out pretty well!

Because Sora is disappointing horribly because he is incredibly pathetic.

A Tetris piece went from doubling a Kid Icarus side character to beating Auron. Still expecting logic from these contests is a terrible idea.

Snake against 2 Pokemon helps him more than being against a Pokemon and Sora who is a flop to Pokemon based on this match.

If Sora is in the poll, the entire PokeForce is behind Squirtle, instead of Pikachu and Squirtle splitting.

Yes, I know Pikachu is beating Sora despite Blue in the poll but trust me Pikachu being in the next round is good for Ekans.

Basing stats on Sprite Snake is a terrible idea.

In 2005 Bowser went even with Sprite Snake.

In 2006 Crono beat Bowser 57-43.

That year Snake 55-45'd a character who safely beat Crono.
