GameFAQs Contests

This was a tough division, too. I'll be content with 7/8.

I'm willing to call the ASV irrelevant here. There's no way the MGS fanbase loses one of their own to Nathan Drake. It's not happening.

PS3 HIERARCHY

"The great GF...Bahamut."
"...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..."

Considering Uncharted 2 lost the ASV to Dragon Age, the ASV is going to be a bit diluted anyway thanks to night votes bleeding into day matches, and MGS fans being a hell of a lot more dedicated than Uncharted fans...

Feeling very confident in The Boss.

Oh wow, now that's an update. Yeah, Boss has this unless she crumbles in the ASV as if she were facing MC.

so who said drake was an easy pick?
This match was a tough one and it could still be close in the end.

Cube has a strong Power Hour, but can't quite match that level in any other hour. Sandal did his best work in the dead zone, as expected.

The people at work/school is really hurting the vote totals right now. I wonder what they'll hit considering both characters are high fodder.

Nice spike by The Boss.

People that were high on Uncharted 2's performance in the GotY

Most of them came down to Earth after though.

What trends do we have so far for the SNV in this contest? You would think that it would be stronger this contest because you got more people online at that time who haven't already voted.

Maybe in some cases it could undo the damage from bad ASVs
---
I used to have a good sig. Now my account is only a shadow of its former glory.

There's only one obvious explanation for Drake bombing.

There was a sudden site shift away from western gaming between X/Price and Drake/Boss, causing a massive Western deboost!

Brilliant!

"I can set you free, mate."

This is still a huge boost for Drake. His 2008 self get 70-30d here, maybe more.

The people at work/school is really hurting the vote totals right now. I wonder what they'll hit considering both characters are high fodder.

In the past 3 day matches, it was possible to maintain 700+ votes per update even after we got out of the first hour. We just got out of the first hour and we're already dropping below 600 votes per update, but I'll blame that on younger voters not being able to vote at this time of the day because of school. I bet we'll probably drop to around 400-500 votes per update before the ASV bumps that up to around 500-600 votes per update.

What an absolute abortion of a first division for me. I usually get only one wrong in the first division, and here I've gone and gotten three of them wrong. What a joke. ****ing Uncharted toolboxes. I hadn't even given this match a second thought before HURRRRRR Uncharted 2 best game of the year hurrrrr.

Hate you Board 8.

Nearly 400 vote lead for The Boss after the first hour. She should easily top 1000 by the time we get to the ASV at this rate.
---
"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"
"Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!"

The Boss ends the Power Hour with the biggest % lead since the EBV... I think it's safe to say that this match is over. Also, I think that Drake got the huge benefit of bracket votes.

I'm guessing early that The Boss will be about 20% of brackets.

The Boss is just beating the dog **** out of Drake now.

You've got no one to blame but yourself if you listen to Board 8 when making your bracket!

Maybe in some cases it could undo the damage from bad ASVs

Or exacerbate it - MGS for example has a horrid SNV, even worse than its notorious ASV.

...why are you looking at me like that it's not irrational to keep holding out hope for Drake right

Heh, Drake spikes AND Boss collapses that update, and Drake is only able to make up 2.

Go figure. After The Boss has her two best updates of the match, Drake gets his first cut.
---
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

The Boss obviously won the power hour. Drake pretty much needs to stall for two hours in order to at least have a chance.

lol, Drake remembered he was in the match and decided to cut 2 votes. Beats losing 50+ votes an update!

The FFVI characters were weaksauce five years ago. Ugly to contemplate where they are now, especially after their game in last year's contest.

A flat chest is a status symbol, it has immeasurable value. - Mayumi-chan

Yeah, I'd be surprised if Drake lost to Celes or Terra. Well, at least Terra has Dissidia now, and she was probably stronger than Celes to begin with. That Revan/Terra match still has me a bit nervous.
---
"The great GF...Bahamut."
"...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..."

This is starting to remind me of Ammy/Shadow where the best Shadow could ever do was stall or cut a few votes before Ammy went back to tearing into him.

---

That Revan/Terra match still has me a bit nervous.

I don't get this line of thought. Revan should be, like... 10x the strength of HK-47. I'm still not sure why he got allowed into this contest.

(well, I guess we have precedent, lol Villains Contest spoiling ToS)

I'd be more concerned if any major region was going for Drake but even in the UK he's barely in the lead.
---
sigh.....

Some people seem to think that HK-47 will be stronger than Revan.

---
Some people are silly.

I don't get this line of thought. Revan should be, like... 10x the strength of HK-47.

Well, I've never played KOTOR, so I don't know what to expect from him. I figure there's a reason why HK-47 got in three times before Revan got in once. Not that it necessarily means ANYTHING, but it still makes me a bit nervous all the same.

He's leading in Canada.

Nathan Drake is in the poll, not Uncharted 2. Huge difference.

If you'd played the game, you'd understand. There's not really a precedent for it...

...well, try this. Y'know how the individual Pokemon got in before Pokemon Trainer Red? Imagine that, except now imagine that Red is by far the most cared about character in his series.

Remember that this is the Best CHARACTER Ever contest, not game. Although there are some people who will vote simply because of the game, the big votes come from those who defend the character.

Then why wouldn't Red have gotten in first?!
