GameFAQs Contests

Foolish Alucard. He thought he had plotted this match out meticulously, made sure it took place during the night, and would coast to victory on the infallible authority of The Plan.

But he forgot one critical thing that he shared with his opponents: video game character overlap. if only he had realized

I don't know why I didn't notice the RPG/Sony overlap with Alucard and Rydia. And Falcon being the sole Nintendo character in the match is also a big deal. Feel like I should have saw this coming.

There isn't any Sony overlap between Alucard and Rydia.

Pretty sure FFIV has had ports on Sony consoles, also add to the fact her appearance in Dissidia.

Looks like Alucard is getting serious.

Don't count Falcon out yet

He still has the morning vote to look forward to

Also, I like how Alucard has 2666

Almost 400 vote lead now

FFIV has appeared on Nintendo consoles, too! And in more frequent numbers. Falcon is the real victim of LFF here.

Again, not saying it's impossible. Just saying that Alucard better start bringing in that night vote sooner rather than later.

I think your guesses are pretty good, but let me point one thing out: Falcon doesn't have an ace morning vote. I know popular wisdom is 'morning vote is Nintendo's best hour' but that's a lie. The morning vote is the best block of gaming icons who aren't 100% nostalgia fueled (hence why it's the best hour of Sonic and Mario for instance, and not Megaman). Mid-level Nintendo is actually way more ASV focused when it derives its strength from Smash, and kind of all over the place when it doesn't.

It's the summer. There is no ASV.

Seriously people need to stop saying this

If Alucard loses it's because he's weaker straight up. Rydia isn't doing anything here.

Doesn't this match kind of confirm no matter which way it goes that Falcon is cleanly above Alucard if the latter is struggling to win a night match?

He doesn't have to have an ace morning vote to have a better morning vote than Alucard, though.

Does this make Magus look weaker against Otacon?

Yeah probably. I didn't say that if Alucard wins he's stronger, here!

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Magus is probably even weaker now than back in 2010.

Otacon could pull it off.

Yeah, this.


Also, LOL Falcon gaining 40 votes at 1:45 AM. If Alucard hasn't started cutting by 2:30 he's gonna be in some trouble.

Otacon winning that match absolutely eviscerates my infallible bracket (Pikachu going so far you don't even know), but that may be the sweetest way for it to go out.

Otacon's not going to be anything great, so who knows. I'd feel better about Magus than I would a bottom tier MGS character, anyway.

Rydia does have more reason to overlap with Falcon than Alucard! Really, she's probably not affecting one significantly more than the other.

Final Fantasy 4 has been ported to so many systems, I think my toaster can play it. Can't really call system SFF on that.

Mini cut spotted. Either Falcon's about to take it all back and then some, or Alucard finally awoke from his slumber.

I hate being 'that guy' here, but that huge vote spike for Falcon reeked of vote stuffing. That was an abnormal spike considering the kind of updates he's been having....

or Falcon will just take it back and not then some

Yeah, I'm guessing all that happens during the night is Alucard making mini cuts while Falcon slowly builds the lead.

Prove me wrong, Alucard.

Didn't expect Falcon to gain again this late. 16 votes, it's something...plus it's maintaining 400+. Geez.

Two almost cuts by Rydia on Alucard... what Alucard needs to be doing now is cutting Falcon, not almost getting cut himself!

I have this weird feeling that Rydia is going to win the night vote and the real battle is going to be Rydia vs Alucard for 2nd

No problem!

Huh, I think this is one of those matches that has had its outcome changed with the lower votals.

Poor Alucard.

Not sticking a fork in the plan just yet, but Alucard needs to get a move on. Where's Edouble when you need him

It's almost as if these contest noobs can't read.

Alucard won't start consistant cuts until 2:00am. The fact that Falcon has been unable to extend his lead in 40 minutes should be pretty telling.

The cycle of life and death continues. We will live. And they will die.

This is going to play out exactly like last night. Alucard will get a few random cuts like Wheatley did, but Falcon will win easily.

I'll be falling off the leaderboard here. When I first saw the bracket I thought about taking Falcon but then I changed my mind. Ugh.

I wouldn't bet the farm on that - the groupthink is strong in us. I'm not convinced many perfects and -1s had Falcon to begin with.

Rydia almost cut Falcon there

Rydia's totally winning an update at some point in the night

Yeah this isn't going to involve Alucard gaining a massive amount this is more going to be about if Falcon can avoid shaving his %s a lot.

Rydia almost cut Falcon too... only a 1 vote difference.

random cut #1 or the start of a trend?

Achromatic posted...

Normally I'd agree, but Alucard's best time (even in a 24-hour match) has always been this early-morning/late-night vote. Whereas Falcon isn't getting the benefit of afternoon-evening votes which would surely go in his favor.

The match isn't over, in fact I have a gut feeling that this is going to be a true barnburner at the end. But Alucard should have gotten a huge boost with this being a night vote; if he doesn't crush Falcon beyond the hope of a morning comeback, I think it's safe to say that Falcon is just a straight-up stronger character.

Main reason I took Alucard is because I remembered him beating Falcon twice before. I just completely forgot who the opposition were in those matches >_>

Assuming nothing insane happens, this is the biggest surprise win of the contest so far for me. I took Alucard without a second thought.
