Was there a large influx of votes in that last hour? If not, I'd sooner
attribute it to an afternoon shift before online articles. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

He's getting stronger with each match, and tomorrow is the grand
finale, and everyone knows it. There's going to be some kinda Internet
army. I can almost envision the server crashing or something. Hmm... are you sure? L-Block got 30% last round against 3 stronger chacters of radically different fanbases. This round, he's only doing 5% better despite facing a much weaker four-pack of characters that are soemwhat similar (compared to last round anyways) --- Hochiminh155's Trail to Victory Future winner of the Summer 2007 Contest |

Are you guys serious? Votes increased by nearly 100 per update ~5-6
minutes after the article was linked for about 30 minutes and then
returned to the normal amount afterwards. Why would you even bother
denying the effect there's no reason to. --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

was the article just posted? if so, do people f5 the hell out of kotaku? a 30 minute spike looks more like vote stuffing to me than an article posted online somewhere. --- xyzzy "And Snake has scaled the mountain. He is within 10% of a Tetris block." -yoblazer33 |

Could have been the article, sure, but shouldn't a votal increase accompany something like that? --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

You mean the votal increase I just pointed out? Besides, there were 30 comments in that 30 minute timespan. When you consider that there's probably a lot more people reading than those that leave comments, there's probably a pretty good amount. I don't even know why I'm debating this, it's a small obvious effect on a contest that there's no reason to deny --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

if we got L > Cloud, I'd get more points than him... as would everyone else in the guru, so no. ...and yes that counts as a trend for MC, too bad he'd need about 100 votes an update to win. --- Explicit Content. hungry like the wolf |

L-Block has gone international! I just searched Yahoo and Google and L-Block is being voted for in every language! I don't think Link has much to worry about tomorrow. But Cloud should start peaking over his shoulder. Nostalgia vote+Joke Vote+ largest rally we have ever seen is going to L-Block. Snake steals some of the Playstation+Badass vote. Link>L-Block is slightly possible. But Link is guaranteed to win pretty much. --- Leader of the Master Chief Bandwagon Believe |

When you have a board vote as strong as L-Block, even a fusion of Link and Cloud would drop a ton of % after it. --- And if we armed them all with two swords, we'd have four times the votes! Official Head of the L-Block Belief Core! |

a fusion of Cloud and Link could maintain 70% in this match. --- Explicit Content. hungry like the wolf |

no it couldn't. 60% though. --- xyzzy "And Snake has scaled the mountain. He is within 10% of a Tetris block." -yoblazer33 |

What a wonderful contest for me to sign up for. ...You know that tired old line about the contest having lost all credibility? Well... <_< See, I never once went in this thing with the idea that this contest had "credibility". Between bracket votes, stuffing/rallying and fifteen different Factors causing shifts, this contest doesn't really even indicate who Gamefaqs likes best, much less gamers in general. At least the top two characters have been pretty clear since '04. ...until now.... |
