Board 8 > Was Samus>Sonic our first case of cheating in the contest?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know Mario shenanigans came after, so was there any other in the first rounds of the contest, or was this the start of the slope...

Probably Mega Man/Ms. Pac-Man

no way he breaks 90% there without cheating

True story/confession (though I think Ive said it before over the years) I thought MM was going to win because he was just absolutely eviscerating everyone. And yeah, Seph was beating everyone soundly too.... but still....

Mega Man was probably legit the 4th strongest character in those first three contests but really fell off the map somewhere in late 2004/early 2005. I thought for sure he'd be champ if Clinkeroth got pulled from the bracket but nope.

Crono was probably 4.

At worst 5th.

That cheating piece of shit Mario for whats its worth was probably legit 7th

1 Link
2 Cloud
3 Seph
4 Crono
5 MegaMan
6 Samus
7 Mario
8 Sonic
9 Snake

And if its just 2002, Sonic jumps both the Nintendo reps, hence the point of this topic... he absolutely was stronger that year. Fuck CJayC for allowing that shit to go on

Pretty sure all of the matches had cheating.

Oh, I thought it was Guybrush Threepwood's... every match he's been in.

I should probably preface this as real cheating.

Yes every match ever Im sure had some random guy double vote, or other small things which wouldnt matter unless done in masse... Samus as far as I recall was the first one to ever actually do it enmasse
