GameFAQs Contests

From: LeonhartFour | #286
Man, I think we're vastly overestimating the value of rallying if we think it can help Gordon beat Tifa.

I also assumed Gordon would be doing significantly better than this on Peach. I was extremely pessimistic due to the picture and still gave him 55%. With a fairer pic, I would have probably given him the high 50s. Also, I've had Tifa in my bracket the entire time. Slack cutting, please!

Anyway, unless Gordon kills the rest of this match, he'll easily be the most disappointing Valve entrant outside of Ellis, who we all agree doesn't count. People were tossing around the idea of a Valve boost, but this is certainly not doing anything for that series. I think it's evidence that the other Blizzard guys just got extremely fortunate bracket placement.

Why do I always do that?! I blame it on the fact that only two PC gaming devs actually exist.

Except, she was wrong. I don't think she was around here during the Gamespot contest so she didn't know about that rallying.

I don't care enough about Gordon to bother rallying.

Albion never actually rallies, though, he just pretends to to get under some people's skin.

I dunno about 10,000 in an hour, but Gordon turned a close match with Link into a rout as soon as he got Super Steamed. It was the most enormous case of rallying we had ever seen.

Off to Space Science, keep crowbarring this *****, Freeman!

Gordon needs to get, like, no votes during the ASV to lose now.

It wouldn't surprise me if he managed.

Gamespot?

Mario > Link, baby. I'm pretty sure I'm still the only one who thinks that's still true for Gamespot even after Mario put better numbers on Freeman than Link.

Also, some more fun facts.

We had 17 brand new characters in the bracket this year. Out of those 17, only 4 have made it past the first round.

Not too good!

Price will look even better after Red beats MMX and rSFFs Link with the sprite round!
