Don't let tranny hear you say VVVVVV has no fans!

I'd say Not Dave, too, since he's the one who gifted the game to me on Steam, but he's not here anymore.

Just wondering: this is easily the worst, weakest "heated" match we've ever had, right? I'm sure fodder has slugged it out for third place in the 4ways, but I don't think it's ever been between two entrants with... maybe zero fans between them.

I'm sure there's more.

So, I don't know if this has been brought up but Konami released Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection, exclusively for the PS3 10 days ago.

Solid Snake/Big Boss boost? The Boss put up pretty good numbers for being a NPC.

Otacon > Magus looks really good.

Who else actually has Viridian in second?

I do and it's cool that he's getting 2nd in a fodder match though I've been interested in Skullgirls

I will actually be surprised if Peacock doesn't finish second.

This is like the slowest comeback ever though.

I also have the Captain in #2 -- he may not have many fans for just himself, but VVVVVV has multiple releases and an endearing quality about it that made me side with the lil' guy.

Not bad, Big Boss.

I also have Viridian in second.

But I've learned a lesson from this match. In close matches, go with the Board favorite; if it's close, the board will make sure their favorite wins. That's assuming Peacock completes the comeback, of course.

Huh thought VVVVVV would keep running with this.

Still think he wins with the morning vote (if he even loses the lead) but maybe a 500 vote rally could in fact turn it.

That's what I'm thinking. Helps that he is winning in bot USA and Canada, if just barely. He just has to hang around for a few hours, whether that be a few votes ahead, or behind, and with these small updates, that's what's probably going to happen.

Peacock would need some kind of FGC-related rally. Maybe there's a subreddit for fighting games?

I'm tellin' ya, rallying is not a good idea for this match. People don't care for a rally when the character can't win, so it's gonna just end up getting more Viridian voters and spite voters to notice the poll without giving Peacock enough of a boost.

90% of the rally votes would go to Big Boss anyway, 7% to the intended target and 3% to the other guy.

Yeah, SEP is right. Let this match play out as is. Trying to tamper with it will most likely backfire. You can't control the people you rally and Big Boss has crazy reach with Peacock not having enough.

The idea here is to try and rally for Viridian and hope that you can get them to vote for Peacock through reverse psychology instead. Someone actually did this for Sephiroth/Missingno by attempting to rally for Sephiroth, only to get a surge of Missingno votes instead.

Pretty interesting to be honest.

Skullgirls is a game that managed to get 16k people to give money to its crowdfunding program.

And yet.. those results. If 16k people donate money for a Skullgirls project you can bet the fanbase is considerably larger than that.

Probably a mix of more people being interested in... Every other aspect of Skullgirls aside from the actual game itself... And the fact that people literally have nothing to gain by voting for her, here.

In terms of design, I think Eliza would probably appeal to GameFAQS best.
