Also... I was hesitating between voting for Alucard or Liquid this morning... Should've gone with Alucard, the margin would've been only 2 votes Uh... unless you didn't vote (or voted for one of the other two), it would've been one vote. <_< --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing.

Seriously, there's no other explanation for such a hugely won update. If you're gonna take Liquid down due to vote stuffing, you have to strip Snake of his win against Sephiroth last year too. They were pretty much the same damn concept. I was actually expecting Liquid to do that.... dunno how MGS fans pull that crap off. |

It was a 20 vote swing in the last update. Not massive by any means. Keep telling yourself that. Honestly, the excitement of a match is close to zero when clear vote stuffing was fueling both sides at the end. --- sig |

TuRtLe ~~~ 60/76 in the contest. Next pick: The Plan > Ness BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyismRound 1- Division 6 Group A Characters Involved: Amatersersrsu New fodder so bad, I'm not even going to correctly spell his name. Dante Summer 2002 Contest East Division - 4 Seed Eastern Round 1 --- Defeated (13) Q*Bert, 40745 [70.01%] - 17453 [29.99%] Eastern Quarterfinal --- Lost to (5) Crono, 22055 [33.42%] - 43939 [66.58%] Extrapolated Strength --- 18th Place [25.02%] Summer 2003 Contest West Division - 4 Seed Western Round 1 --- Defeated (13) Ryo Hazuki, 74068 [77.65%] - 21316 [22.35%] Western Quarterfinal --- Lost to (5) Ryu, 43649 [45.99%] - 51258 [54.01%] Extrapolated Strength --- 21st Place [27.32%] Summer 2004 Contest Chaos Division - 4 Seed Chaos Round 1 --- Defeated (13) Ratchet, 59437 [80.28%] - 14602 [19.72%] Chaos Quarterfinal --- Defeated (12) Miles "Tails" Prower, 45109 [57.40%] - 33472 [42.60%] Chaos Semifinal --- Lost to (1) Sonic the Hedgehog, 30033 [37.97%] - 49057 [62.03%] Extrapolated Strength --- 23rd [25.49%] Summer 2005 Contest Devil Division - 1 Seed Devil Round 1 --- Defeated (8) Terra, 69379 [71.5%] - 27652 [28.5%] Devil Semifinal --- Lost to (5) Vincent, 45893 [46.00%] - 53882 [54.00%] Extrapolated Strength --- 17th Place [29.99%] Summer 2006 Contest Patriot Division - 2 Seed Patriot Round 1 --- Defeated (2) Ryu Hayabusa, 77894 [65.20%] - 41576 [34.80%] Patriot Semifinal --- Lost to (6) Yoshi, 64072 [49.45%] - 65497 [50.55%] Extrapolated Strength --- 11th Place [39.73%] Dante's always been a force on this site. Expect him to dominate this fourpack. Little Mac Summer 2002 Contest South Division - 15 Seed Southern Round 1 --- Lost to (2) Link, 11076 [15.69%] - 59509 [84.31%] Extrapolated Strength --- 38th Place [15.69%] Little Mac returns for the first time since 2002. Matt the Mii Another fodderific newcomer. The lead boxing dude in Wii Sports Predictions: Dante takes this fourpack easily. Second place is up for debate though. Ammy, Matt and Mac all have arguments in their favour. Mac got 16% on Link, which should be enough to win this. He's also had his game released on the virtual console recently. Matt is a Mii, and is a representative of the popular Wii console. He could do well, or he could bomb. Ammy is from a cultish PS2 game Okami, but I think he takes last here. TuRtLe's Prediction: Dante 50%, Mac 20%, Ammy 15%, Matt 15% TuRtLe's Bracket: Dante > Matt TuRtLe's Vote: Danta |

seeing as alucard was blatantly stuffing for the previous 3 hours, lulz. First of all, characters don't vote stuff, people do, lulz. Secondly, there was blatant vote stuffing from both sides, but not from over three hours ago until now, more within the last half hour-20 minutes. I don't even care who won, I'm indifferent to both characters, it's just stupid to hear people running around calling it some sort of epic ordeal. --- sig |

I -knew- Little Mac was worthless... and... everyone should've seen
this coming, since Simon Belmont, another old-school character, bombed
horribly in this format. Old-school voters being dilligent was a
blatantly false idea. (watch Little Mac suddenly turn this around now) --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Alucard was being pretty stable until that one big cut at 11. Had the
match been allowed to run its paces, it still would have been a
nailbiter, but then we could say the result was legit, as opposed to
some jerkwad giving away a $20 alt on Luelinks. TuRtLe ~~~ 60/76 in the contest. Next pick: The Plan > Ness BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
