I heard through the grape vine that Albion is rallying for Chief?

Final nail in the coffin. Worst waste of life.

Good thing he's dead to me, or I'd be upset.

let's do something better

a vote ZERO topic.

Because advertising for a console character who's relevance in gaming has pratfalled in the last ten years on a MMO/PC-Gaming centric website is going to get him a huge rally? Especially when there's a big, internet trend-friendly Cube in the way?

If you're going to rally for Mega Man, you're gonna have to go hit some retro gaming sites. MMO-Champion Mega Man rally will have all the potency of pushing for gay marriage in the Bible Belt.

Meeh. Whatever.
Lopen | Posted 11/9/2008 1:21:03 PM | message detail
No, seriously, KH is right. It's not about where you rally, it's about what the topic title is. Mega Man fans exist everywhere. I do not doubt that a "vote Mega Man" topic on a Portal fan board would get almost as many Mega Man votes as Cube votes.

In fact, time to give this a shot...! Vote Mega Man topic on totally random board activate...!

heres where your wrong. The mega man fans on MMO champion DONT KNOW that mega man is in that match. Screw the WCC fans, they are already gonna vote for WCC, they KNOW hes in the match. Get mega man some publicity on that site. There are plenty of mega man supporters on a website as large as mmo champion.

There's a higher chance they don't vote for your character just to spite you.

In a 1v1 that is likely true, but in a fourway it'll be divided by 3, and overall I suspect it would be a (likely small) net gain for the rallied character.

Mega Man fans could always use capcom message boards if they wanted to maximize the chances of their character gaining (or in general when rallying for a character, any of the corresponding company's message boards). I do agree that votes for PC characters are probably far easier to obtain. I can't imagine it being worthwhile for anyone to dedicate a large amount of time in order to secure a few hundred votes though!

The worst part about trolls is that all you can do is plug you ears and watch. Albion knows this, and that's why he pulls this crap. And in all honesty, that makes him perhaps THE biggest coward in the world.

even in a 1v1 it would help more than hurt. People will just ignore the topic more than click on it, vote against your guy, and reply with a nice big **** you. The point is, get a mega man topic on that website and keep it bumped to hell.

By the way, Albion's rallies on MMOChampion seem to have garnered approximately 3 votes for Snake and 1 for Mega Man.

Just FYI.

You know, I figure the best way to cancel out the WCC-rally (for whatever Albion's rally is worth.....) is to post topics in the same place his topics are and simply request people to vote with all four characters in the topic title. When people are fully aware of their choices -- especially if it is kept above WCC-specific rally-topics -- then people can choose for themselves. The site may be WCC-biased, but ultimately awareness would stifle a lot of whatever the current WCC-rally means. Not only that, but the topic posts would probably give a better idea of who the site(s) really support(s).

Plus the stats Kamikaze put together over the 1 hour I stopped rallying to prove a point:


MM vs. Cube - 10:58 to 13:39 - 47.6%
MM: 5167 (average of 161.5 votes an update)
WCC: 5688 (average of 177.8 votes an update)
32 updates

MM vs. Cube - 13:44 to 14:34 - 50.83%
MM: 1517 (average of 151.7 votes an update)
WCC: 1467 (average of 146.7 votes an update)
10 updates


Rallying vs. no Rallying



As you can see, even if it loks like they don't really care from the very few posts, its obvious it does effect things.

Ehh I think this is a different situation then that. Hogger was ALL rallying power, he doesn't have any legit strength, and I went out to dinner with some friends for a couple hours that night when is when Ramza started his coemback. I'm not going anywhere today

Sora will be SFF'd, but I don't believe he will be SFF'd to the level of Squall due to it being a different series that has a different demographic
