Yeah, L-Block winning is great, I'm just annoyed at the scoring system costing me a prize. It really was a terrible scoring system... I remember getting annoyed by it a few times in round 1, maybe round 2, where I felt like I definitely had made a better pick than those around me, yet they went up in the ranks, and I went down. If it happened to me at the end of the contest? probably be pissed. --- Explicit Content. hungry like the wolf |

The worst thing about L-Block's win is Tetris's loss back in 2k4.
Seriously, why does L get so much more support when Tetris is so much
more awesome? It saddens me that all the L loving kiddies weren't
hardcore enough to go and give Tetris the push it needed to beat LoZ... --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Hmm.. alright, yeah. Still we've seen linking before, and while I
know people have been against it, I don't think it's been anywhere
close to this kind of scale, but I think everyone would agree with
that. It doesn't seem the same, just because I would think Mario would
have been the favorite back then since it's friggin' Mario! (darn you
2k5). Just seems like it's not the same, but i get your point. The scale is different, for sure, but the end result being "tainted" by outside influence and whatnot is where they're the same. People around here seem to love citing Mario/Cloud as the most amazing result or whatever, but it's not a whole lot different from this in that it shouldn't have happened. Of course, the difference is that people around here generally don't like Cloud while they love Mario. In this case, it's an inanimate object beating Link, so it's all rotten and such. Just kinda funny how that happens. I can understand being kinda upset if you were in contention to win the whole contest and lost because of it or something, but most people complaining about this match make no sense to me -- and Cloud and Snake are my two favorites in the poll! --- "With each passing day, the world finds new and exciting ways to kill a man." |

So while you guys are all sending SBAllen feedback tickets asking for
even more stuff, I sent him one congratulating him for an awesome
contest. Come on. You know he deserves it, and he might have mixed feelings about this if his first contest is a total rejection of the past winner. Send him a nice ticket! --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar L-Block revolted against its soviet masters and brought down the Berlin wall. Line by line.- poisson |

championship :) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

The "internet" in general doesn't care about this contest. Has anyone checked the results when they google "vote for L-Block" Very few of these are referring to the character contest. For comparison purposes, number of sites: Vote for L-Block: 20,900 Vote for Samus: 169,000 Vote for Megaman: 903,000 Vote for Mario: 2,850,000 Vote for Link: 105,000,000 This is almost solely a gamefaqs phenomenon, with moderate help from a few sites. The rest of the world doesn't care. I can't believe that I'm delighted that Link came within 120 votes of L-block that last update. --- HMMMmmmMMMMMmmmmm............... |

I think the only reason I can't get excited about L-block winning the
contest is that I was seriously waiting to have a board-wide epic lol
at hochi. Then the block came and took away the spotlight. :( I'll get you next time, hochi! --- If you fail at life you try suicide. If you fail at suicide, what's next? Failing at poetry... - Fidormula |

As long as Tetris doesn't beat SMB3 I'm cool with Tetris rallying next
contest. But if it does the unthinkable... well it won't be pretty... --- L-Block may seem like a winner but even it couldn't rally enough to beat EC in this year's Guru Contest! Congrats |

Eh, I'm not outraged at this or anything. If this is what makes people
happy, good for them. I'm more upset at the fact, as smitelf said, that
something like this makes all of our analysis and work (as big a labor
of love as it may be) kinda useless. I said before that this is what a
lifelong political analyst must feel like if Stephen Colbert won the
presidency, and I stand by that. They wouldn't necessarily feel angry,
just kinda useless. BUT MARIO VS. CLOUD MAN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME. THAT WAS GREATNESS. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... Explicit Content pwn me... in the Guru Contest! |

They're all for pure fun entertainment value - as if that needs to be said :) This wasn't any less serious than any other in a way I can think of.
