Draven rallying is occuring on Twitch right now. Expect a big Draven boost and a second place finish.


dat drop in percentage
#402 | swirIdude | Posted 7/11/2013 9:09:58 PM | message detail
Ok maybe the rallying will show up later...or be meaningless.

I'm ok with Chie not being last.

Even though my Expert Challenge isn't going great, my Bracket is doing great. Aside from the Tharja/Juliet/Tina match, I've been right so far in terms of my Bracket.

I bet on Draven either being ok or risk him sucking complete ass.

Oh well. Only thing I even care about LoL at this point is the Porn, and its mostly Ahri anyways.

This is as good as time as any to recommend the first Jak and Daxter in HD. I'm playing through it now, and it holds up pretty well! They don't make platformers in this mold anymore.

LoL actually is the most played game in the world, but the issue any one character will have is ensemble cast + worst gaming community on the planet.

The point I wanted to make was that WoW for many years was the most played game in the world, and I'm sure it's still easily top 5 or so. That has never meant anything for its characters.

I would be shocked if Spyro lost his match.

Fodder matches this contest are going to have a huge "casual voters have only heard of one out of the three characters" theme going on.

I swapped Jak and Chie. My only correct pick is Draven for last place.

Oops, that's -4 isn't it? I kan maf!!

Draven was a gamble. I mean a large rally could happen.

I just didn't expect a Godstomp by Jak.

I don't think you have that much to fear here. Wheatley should still win that, these guys have nothing to do with him at all.

I feel like Chie would've had a chance if Draven had some casual pull (which Jak evidently does). It turns few know who he is and fewer care. Shoulda guessed.

It's too early to tell for sure, but does anyone think it's possible that Playstation characters got a decent boost? With all the positive PS4 hype.

Draven could rally like 10000 votes and still lose with Jak pounding him like this combined with Jak taking like 30% of his rallied votes cause the league fanbase doesn't actually like Draven

Wheatley has casual pull, and yoblazer is completely incorrect about Portal 2 not having the buzz or being as big as Portal 1. Not saying Crash can't win, but the people supporting him are acting like it's some lock when it really isn't. Wheatley is not Draven.

I bet PS All Stars had at least a minor impact. It was the most popular PS3 board for quite a while.
#446 | Sorozone | Posted 7/11/2013 9:29:07 PM | message detail
It also may be unlikely, but Jak could be getting some kind of Naughty Dog boost. Considering how high they have risen in being one of the better developers in recent years.

Not sure why you guys are so quick to calling this one over. Not until Jak hits the 500 vote barrier here. Keep in mind that Tiny Tina was down by several hundred votes yesterday.

Chie still has a chance, especially with a rabid fanbase like the Persona one here. With that said, Jak still looks likely to take the match though...
