Because
you can now vote in the match directly from the poll results page, it
would be easier to rally. In the past, you had to link to the site's
front page and expect the site visitors to find the match on the front
page. Now you can link directly to the poll results page instead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Another 7 votes --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 0/0 Today's Picks: Link and Raiden |
2 cuts in a row. --- POKEFEAR |

Translation - Joke characters gonna be strong. --- Can anyone provide me with a decent challenge!? |
Edit: I'm dumb. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Metal Gear sucks. Abandon all bets on Snake. Sora > Snake. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
My oracle would be looking great if I had accounted for the fact that Alan Wake would be weaker than Tingle. facepalm --- Can anyone provide me with a decent challenge!? |
Kotetsu534 posted... Doesn't look like there's a viewable leaderboard for the expert challenge, which changes things a bit from last time (when you could tell how many people were ahead/equal/behind you). There is a leaderboard for the Expert Challenge. You can find the leaderboards here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_leaderboard We still need stats pages for both the bracket and expert challenges, though. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I
figured Waluigi would perform better than expected, though
unfortunately I thought Alan Wake would get well over 20% after Tingle
and Isaac did so well. Turns out he'd struggle to beat Tanner. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Nanis23 posted...So um.. I see.. I understand you have an updater of your own,can you give me the link please? |
Here is my updater: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdDRUSTZackRwVk9sN204bjhlT1lSa2c&gid=1 I have a script that is automatically tracking updates, but I still have to manually add them to that page. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Waluigi is now quadrupling Alan Wake. Alan is just breaking all kinds of records here, next stop, single digit city. --- When you've got a pretty-boy monkey on your back constantly calling you a puppet, you hardly want to seem like you're happy to be used. - DSakaCharanJ |
3/118 in the oracle...pretty good for my first oracle pick ever. --- POKEFEAR |
/v/ is on Waluigi's case With the low vote totals this year, it will be interesting to see if 4chan rallies can affect matches to a significant degree. Obviously they won't be completely controlling every outcome as with the Gamespot battles though. Not enough kids to troll and comments to laugh at to be worth that kind of effort. |
Well, this is still NintendoFAQs. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_code?c=5vsjNPEzTFfxNmO426ofUiDZYFTl1zjtMn |
Takfloyd_mkII__ posted... /v/ is on Waluigi's case If they really care, then Waluigi should win this. /v/ loves Waluigi and the votals are so low that they can't really handle big time rallying. |
4chan's at it again? Oh my, all of the joke entrants will definitely get a boost. |
Alan
Wake will end this tournament as our weakest all time character, won't
he? (As of now; it's quite possible we'll have bigger uber-fodder late
on in this 243-character bracker.) |
Where the heck did *that* come from? Is someone rallying Raiden? |
There's still Cirno against Tifa although 4chan might rally extremely hard that match to make it not a complete blowout |
There's a post suggesting which characters to rally in the rest of division 1. Jigglypuff is one of them. --- POKEFEAR |
waluigi overperforms while I'm at work so good --- ~Zen |
Got a link? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Just got on /v/, there are tons of topics, one is probably on the front page at all time. --- "A game with amazing story and mediocre gameplay usually beats a game with amazing gameplay and mediocre story." - Vlado, Gaming Expert |

tgs2 posted... There's still Cirno against Tifa although 4chan might rally extremely hard that match to make it not a complete blowout Not 4chan, but the Touhou fanbase definitely will, and they're the definition of dedicated. To give you an idea, I know guys who are ready to make 2ch posts during the Touhou matches to try to rally them. It probably won't matter, but it doesn't mean it won't be interesting to see them try. |
Raiden was at 53% and Waluigi was at 35% in the first 15 mins. If 4chan could do so much damage, i fear for the other matches. --- The cycle of life and death continues. We will live. And they will die. |
JustForFun1988 posted... Raiden was at 53% and Waluigi was at 35% in the first 15 mins. If 4chan could do so much damage, i fear for the other matches. On one hand, it's good that the internet is in on the contests because more votes is good times. On the other hand, we can't let 4chan pull this off. Let's do some work and make sure Raiden survives here, gents. |
When does Nintendo Power Hour typically occur? I really want Waluigi to pull the upset... --- If you believe in Jesus Christ and are 100% proud put this as your signature Fan of the 49ers, San Jose Sharks, San Francisco Giants, and San Jose Sabercats |
KanzarisKelshen posted... JustForFun1988 posted...Raiden was at 53% and Waluigi was at 35% in the first 15 mins. If 4chan could do so much damage, i fear for the other matches. too bad waluigi time --- The official rad dude of the Pokemon X board. |
So they turned a 60% match into a 53% match. 4chan tends to give up too early if results don't go their way right away. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 0/0 Today's Picks: Link and Raiden |
KanzarisKelshen posted... JustForFun1988 posted...Raiden was at 53% and Waluigi was at 35% in the first 15 mins. If 4chan could do so much damage, i fear for the other matches. Relax. Even with these low votals, all 4chan managed was to pull in some cuts that amounted to barely a stall for 40 minutes. 4chan (and other places) can add votes, but they're not going to be unilaterally determining matches. If they get their teeth into a dead-even match, though, then things might get quite interesting. |
I really wonder who will be /v/ main joke character,since there are so many of them Prepare for /vp/ to rally all Pokemon characters too |
Did somebody sat waluigi time? Aww yeah waluigi time --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |

If 4chan could do so much damage, i fear for the other matches. They could destroy the contest if one of the mods there stickied a rally thread. They usually get thousands of posts in a matter of hours. --- "A game with amazing story and mediocre gameplay usually beats a game with amazing gameplay and mediocre story." - Vlado, Gaming Expert |
I think you guys are giving 4chan way too much credit. --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
The last two updates had Raiden gain 30 votes each. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 0/0 Today's Picks: Link and Raiden |
WellThoughtName posted... They could destroy the contest if one of the mods there stickied a rally thread. Still unlikely. Thousands of posts does not mean thousands of people voting. They'd have 500 tops, which isn't enough to destroy the contest. They can run havoc on Gamespot's contests because they get as many votes in days what we get here in 12 hours, but they can't determine GameFAQs contests. |
There's another 4chan rally over at /b/ now, in addition to the existing rally on /v/. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Effective rallying, apparently, as Raiden gains another 30 votes. |
So why did 4chan literally sway every match on gamespot but can't do anything similar in ours? --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
ItGetsWorse posted... So why did 4chan literally sway every match on gamespot but can't do anything similar in ours? Because we have far more votes in a fraction of the time. We're too big for 4chan to significantly alter, though they obviously do have some affect. GameSpot's tournaments are small enough that 4chan can literally pick every winner. |
Well,
they've got me a little nervous about some of my expert bracket picks
now. But if they can't get anything done in the next few votes, maybe
they'll quit out of embarrassment. --- http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr263/crypto_magnum/Polycosm_sig.jpg |
Yeah, they had no issue of closing in an 80/20 match on GameSpot yet they are struggling to make cuts in an 60/40 match. Things might get interesting later on though if the lead hovers at 400 votes, a match that is 45/44 might give them more inspiration even if the vote gap is the same. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 0/0 Today's Picks: Link and Raiden |
Don't really think /b/ cares too much about gamefaqs But if they are,it's probably for some character they can like (a joke or something very /b/ish,I don't know) Not Waluigi anyway |
Has this poll been stuck at 400 all day or is it just me. Currently at work. --- Get the X out. Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it. |
lol 50 vote gain |
With
most of these contest matches happening during the summer vacation
period, there won't be an ASV for most of the contest. We'll start
seeing regular ASV trends during the last few 12-hour matches before we
switch over to 24-hour matches. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
WALUIGI TIME --- Jon Thomson - HKP: 179, 180's: 16, top kill: 160 congrats supernicedog |
