Hoping for a minor WoW rally. Just enough to get me my 6 points.

Oh, but you are going to get them. It's just that they will come with a minus sign to the left. Cuz Poison is going to win.

This 4chan rally is going to die down eventually and Thrall will start coming back again. 4chan rarely ever rallies more than 1000 votes in a match.

I thought the whole trans thing was just an excuse they tried using during localization so they didn't have to change the game. I didn't think it was actually canon once they switched her out instead?

They did, but Capcom decided to stick with it as canon for North America.

Capcom is weird sometimes in that they have a different canon for North America and Japan for their games sometimes, due to "censorship" in localization.

All it takes is one person who cares enough to post a topic and then plenty of people will see it. Its not the coordinated efforts like they had for the Gamespot contests or anything.

maybe they're trying to affect the oracle. or even more devious, crew accuracy points.

The problem with a WoW rally is that WoW works differently from LoL. Most players do not visit the forums at battle.net. You would have to actively rally in WoW itself and have multiple people doing so across several of the realm servers.

The American playtester complained about hitting women so they turned around and said they weren't actually women. Remember this was the 80's.

They're not really trying.

If they really wanted to affect anything they'd rally on /b/

They were able to affect the result of the Tharja match because it was extremely close before they stepped in to help Tharja.

Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave.

They changed it because they were worried about what American audiences would think about a bunch of guys beating up women.

So Poison became a cross-dresser instead.

also we may have a match on our hands

I read there were some issues about having a woman as a playable character in a fighting game. So they changed her to a man so the media wouldn't complain.

This was the early 90s, when guys beating up on women was pretty taboo

Poison definitely spiked on that update, but Elizabeth dropped off a lot, too.
---
http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif

Poison is now closer to first place than Thrall is to second place.

Also 4chan as a whole doesn't really like rigging Gamefaqs contests because you can't easily see tears.

No comment sections and all.

And butthurt is the only reason they even try to affect things in the first place.

"A game with amazing story and mediocre gameplay usually beats a game with amazing gameplay and mediocre story." - Vlado, Gaming Expert

As someone who is trans I kind of always support Poison, and until I looked at this board I assumed she would beat Thrall, but then I saw the analysis and became worried. So atm I'm on course for 6 points...makes up for that damn Viridian loss.

Poison winning over Thrall is a surprise? I had no idea. But needless to say, I didn't make a bracket for the 375th contest running, so no one is threatened by this.

Poison still gained 60 votes on Thrall, though.

Damn, was 11th/T-4th on Expert, too. Oh well.

I honestly don't think Poison has a chance in the long run. Gonna root for her anyway, just for the lulz of having a match decided so obviously by TJF and nothing else lol

She only fell in percentage, she still won the update. If it's close near the end Elizabeth should win. She is winning comfortably in the US.

Nice show from Elizabeth. Haven't even played BioShock Infinite, and she got my vote here. Poison and Thrall are some competition alright.
