Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 625

Black Turtle mocking you for having no life is like Stephen Hawking insulting your walking ability, I'm just at a loss for words here.

MMX is still in the contest while Cube is the last remaining joke character, should Cube go out today the rest of the contest runs the risk of being predictable and dull, simply having him in the next match brings some spice and variety to it. It's in everyones interest that he wins, so good on Albion for trying to keep things interesting.

...

you are aware that if cube wins, his next match will be against Cloud and Solid Snake?

Yep, I am. WoW players are big portal fans in general, too.

If it's necessary, you should also bump your rally topics if they fall off the first page of the topic list.

On my main site I rally at, MMO-Champion (biggest unofficial Wow Site), the top 5 topics are always kept on the main page of the site so anyone who goes to check WoW news will see it. I keep it bumped by ninja bumping it on the main page, and thats how I get 10k views during an entire day with my rally topics.

We have 10 matches left and 5 of them are interesting without the cube.

Kirby/MC/Dante
Mario/X/Zack
Samus/Crono/Vincent
Sonic/Kirby/MC/Dante
Mario/X/Zack/Samus/Crono/Vincent

You can even stretch it and say Sonic/Auron and Cloud/Sephiroth/Snake would be interesting too.

Which is more interesting, a cube with a far less transitive voter base plus rally potential or a character with a rigid strength who is guaranteed to finish 15k+ behind 2nd place?

Main problem there is that mods delete rallying topics almost right away, due to "No advertising" rules.

That sucks. I guess you could go and find some large forums to rally on besides the ones you are rallying on right now.

Cube isn't adding any spice. It's just going to get destroyed next round. You're not doing anything but being an annoyance at this point. Shut up, stop rallying, and let the contest go its course. You've already done enough damage.

It's funny to contrast the rise and decline between Snake and Mega Man over the years. Just 4 years ago MM hit Snake for 57% and now Snake is only 5000 votes from doubling the guy. Cube beating him today would give him a nice SFF excuse for his suck, in reality I doubt MM has the clout to be in the noble 9 anymore in either format.

If it isn't adding any spice and doesn't matter if it gets to next round cuz its gonna be destroyed, who cares if he wins here, right? So why ask me to stop rallying?

I've got Snake > Mega Man in my bracket and I still voted for WCC anyways. Besides, my bracket is screwed now that L-Block is out of the contest. And even if L-Block did win the entire contest, I still wouldn't have been able to make it on the leaderboard.

They never are, but its the view count you have to take a look at. not every single person who votes will post. In a little over an hour, I've got about 1000 hits.
