A 77/23% update against Chie.

I wonder if he can bring this sort of rally power to round 2

Against Mega Man X and Ryu?

That would be a sight to see.

At this point, I wouldn't rule that out. Remember Pikachu/Dante/Leon/Ammy?

Yeah, but Draven hardly has the recognition or the raw strength of f***ing Pikachu.

You know, I got Draven>Chie>Jak for Expert pick
So I was like "lol at least I got Chie right"

........yeah


You thought Chie would be better than Jak? Odd choice...


I don't know
I see more people talk about Persona than Jak and Daxtar
And Jak was always pathetic in those contests
#104 | izNotPerfect | Posted 7/12/2013 1:44:34 AM | message detail
And Draven takes 2nd place.

No looking back from here.

Draven's rally is also likely being boosted by the fact nobody cares about Chie, outside niche JRPG lovers, and Jak.

Rallying like this against MMX and Ryu is an entirely different story.

Honestly see Draven rallying being less effective against Mega Man X and Ryu if he gets there. Like, it works against these two because LoL players are like "okay sure who are these two scrubs" but against icons like MMX and Ryu I'm not sure they'd blindly vote for Draven, who I maintain isn't one of the favorites of the fanbase.

Well, now my Expert bracket sucks a little less badly. Now if he could just overtake Jak...

I'd put Draven in the top five, under Teemo for sure. Rammus would probably be strong too, and just about any yordle (Ziggs, for instance).

Yeah Jak decimated Draven. Jak.

It would have to be a planned rally a couple days in advance for him an upset to happen there. Even then I would think it would be unlikely because Mega Man X and Ryu probably have a few decent rally sites people could go to.

Yeah, Ryu has the fighting game community behind him, and Mega Man fans have their corner of the internet out there.

But on raw strength alone, both X and Ryu have had legit performances in the past. As for as I'm concerned, Draven is still fodder.

Not only would it have to be a planned rally. It would need to be something the creators of LoL piped into their game for days in advance and even then I don't think it would be enough because like Lopen said, Ryu and X are icons that will still manage to steal away some of the rally.

Draven is gaining more than 100 votes per update on Jak. He'll have the lead in about 2 hours. The rallying is picking up, not slowing down.

On Twitch, League has 38k viewers, Dota2 has 20k, and the next highest is WoW with 5.7k. I think it's safe to say the MOBA's practically own Twitch.

Well that's not fair because there's nothing fighting game related actually going on right now. Fighting game streams can be pretty popular when they're actually relevant.

Then again maybe the majority of them aren't on twitch I don't even remember.

Draven is cutting about 100 votes per update off Jak's lead since moving up to 2nd place. We're also getting close to 300 votes per update at this time of the day.

Jesus Christ this is awesome. Mega Man X would probably be scoring well over 60% on these jobbers but next round with Ryu holding him down and only so many gameFAQs votes to throw around, I could see Draven taking that. Draven's innate weakness on gameFAQs won't be holding him back with Ryu/MMX splitting the gameFAQs vote pretty evenly.

What will be holding him back is that LoL players might in greater numbers vote for Ryu/MMX over him. I don't see him taking that but it's conceivable.

I'm just glad this joker's in Link's division.

80.5% update against Chie, 75.5% update against Jak. That was a monster.

Also came close to getting more votes in that 5 minute period than he did in the opening 5 minutes

I didn't check thoroughly but I think Jak's biggest lead on Draven was 2582 votes. Such a comeback would be a record in amount of votes. That's impressive considering the low vote totals compared to other contests.

So I hate to be "that guy" (actually I don't-- I'm usually that guy) but anyone think that Draven might be being stuffed under the cover of the rally right now? The updates feel a little consistent for legit rally numbers to me. Like in the past rallies were more spiky in terms of vote intake. Draven's variance has been pretty minimal from update to update for the last half an hour or so.

I have no clue at all. At 1:59 AM, this match had 9095 votes. At 2:00 AM in the Yoshi match, there were 9448 votes. The Yoshi match went on to get 30487 votes. This match probably would have gotten about 29000 votes without any rallied votes at all. So we'll need at least 9000 rallied votes to beat Raiden/Waluigi/Wake.
