It's over. GG Neku. --- ~ Ringworm ~ |
that seemed rally-ish enough --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Karma Hunter posted... Replies are a decent gauge of how a rally is going, but they're not definitive. A lot of votes are going to be from people that just click on the GameFAQs link and vote without making any comment at all. Yeah I know, but it never helps to be at the top of the page. More replies means more eyes are going to see it. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
If Catherine wins because of a rally, I sympathize with the Neku pickers --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
--Smurf-- posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...Sorozone posted...Yep, there is a rally. Definitely not a good plan. --- *shrug* |
This could be the first time I'm on the right side of a rally so let's hope Catherine holds out. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Catherine
stopped stalling pretty much the moment that thread went up, it's about
the third today so can pretty much count on more if she needs them.
It's a popular game on /v/ so wouldn't be hard to convince people.
She'll probably start dropping again when she has a lead and it'll
repeat until the end but no chance they'll let her lose. Match is over, it was good. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
Then00bAvenger posted... If Catherine wins because of a rally, I sympathize with the Neku pickers Eh I've got Neku but I don't feel bad if he loses. Catherine would probably be winning more comfortably if she had some TJF than any rally could provide. This is just an equalizer of sorts <_< though I just can't get my upset picks to connect in these close matches, haha man darn you Falcon and Pac-Man --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
is it just me or does 4chan have a lot more influence on this contest like are we just now noticing this stuff or do they suddenly have more interest in the contests of a site with rapidly declining traffic --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
Well, that's a rally. I love how 4chan likes to try to control this contest (and succeed many times) |
I wouldn't call it over yet, theres still a few hours left and its only a 100 vote lead. |
Vaas goes down but Catherine only stalls. Some people seeing the rally are being rebels and going with Neku, imo --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Rally
or not, Catherine and Neku was going to be close either way. Neku may
have narrowly won(hell he still might), people knew going in(or at least
getting close to match time) that it was probably going to be a
crapshoot. Unless you pick Vaas. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
Then00bAvenger posted... If Catherine wins because of a rally, I sympathize with the Neku pickers Yeah, I'm never all that thrilled to end up picking correctly because of a rally. I mean, I have Catherine in both my bracket and expert but... to get it right because of a rally? I feel like I was wrong and just lucked into it. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Janus5000 posted... is it just me or does 4chan have a lot more influence on this contest They have more influence because the vote totals have declined so precipitously. We'd barely even notice them doing stuff if we still had the potential of pulling down day matches with 85k votes. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Then00bAvenger posted... Someone is going to break this tie after 10 PM and I don't know who it is. Neku has Europe in his corner, while Catherine is slightly ahead in Canada and the US. Make of that what you will. |
Janus5000 posted... is it just me or does 4chan have a lot more influence on this contest They decided the winner of 2007 contest. Yes, they have a big sleeping potential that can wake up when you expect the least. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Well, that's a rally. where have they succeeded so far |
Not
sure why we're giving 4chan so much credit. This and maybe the Tharja
match are the only ones they've affected in any meaningful way so far. --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
Janus5000 posted... is it just me or does 4chan have a lot more influence on this contest Probably low votals and the nature of multi-ways, a group of a few hundred can do a lot of damage now that they probably couldn't before. The rallies on /v/ aren't even organised they're just guys randomly saying "hey vote for x". --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
Then00bAvenger posted... Vaas goes down but Catherine only stalls. Some yeah but keep in mind there's a big picture of Catherine drawing people to the topic with no mention of Neku at all. If you click on a Catherine topic, there's an overwhelming chance you're gonna be predisposed to vote for Catherine. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Janus5000 posted...is it just me or does 4chan have a lot more influence on this contest 4chan didn't decide 2007, that was KOTAKU --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Votals being awful + this format make rallying a lot more effective. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
2007 finals was far more than just 4chan. mainly it was Gamefaqs --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
2007 was the entire Internet, not silly 4chan |
2007 Final had, like, 200,000 votes. No one decided that final, it was something everyone got in on. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Looks like I'm going to be rallied out of some points. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Well done, 4chan, though I'm sure you'll come back to screw me over in an even bigger match. I figured Catherine's more rabid fanbase would give her the edge here. So far, things are looking up for her, though this match is not over yet. --- Drop it to the floor... |
The Mana Sword posted... Not sure why we're giving 4chan so much credit. This and maybe the Tharja match are the only ones they've affected in any meaningful way so far. they got missile 2nd, made reimu's start look very weird as well out of what I noticed. Reddit played a big part in Draven's business and they came very close to being successful with Tiny Tina as well. It's a big enough influence. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
Any
site would be able to alter the poll's result if a match is this close,
vote totals don't matter too much a 50/50 match with 10k votes will
have the same lead as a 50/50 match with 100k votes. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 43/54 Today's Picks: Samus and Vaas |
--Smurf-- posted... The Mana Sword posted...Not sure why we're giving 4chan so much credit. This and maybe the Tharja match are the only ones they've affected in any meaningful way so far. I highly doubt Missile was solely on the backs of 4chan. And again, none of those other things were actually meaningful. --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
--Smurf-- posted... they got missile 2nd Conjecture. Even without that rally, Missile would likely have won 2nd anyway. --- Drop it to the floor... |
Conjecture. Even without that rally, Missile would likely have won 2nd anyway. Doubt it, after their rally Kerrigan was gaining, it would have been a narrow win in her favour instead. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 43/54 Today's Picks: Samus and Vaas |
kinsho3 posted... --Smurf-- posted...they got missile 2nd Judging by how the poll was going when they weren't rallying, this is stupid. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
4chan getting ready to roll Catherine right out of the Closest Wire-To-Wire category --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
IIRC, the freakin' "vote for the worst" American Idol troll site rallied for L-Block. 2007 was special. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Anyway,
point is, as charmander said, any site could sway the results of a
close match if they wanted to. It just drives me crazy when everyone
gets on 4chan's nuts as if they're some omniscient being that can
control the Internet as they see fit. I hate that. --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
kinsho3 posted... --Smurf-- posted...they got missile 2nd Missile is the one I would say was entirely on the back of 4chan, they had threads on /v/ and /b/ at the same time with hundreds of posts in each. Kerrigan was winning every hour they weren't rallying, Missile took 650 votes over her in just 2 hours. It was as blatant as they come. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |

It just drives me crazy when everyone gets on 4chan's nuts as if they're some omniscient being that can control the Internet as they see fit. I hate that. Nobody said that, all the rallying was unorganised. It's just a place people can pluck a few hundred like minded people to vote the way they want pretty easily and quickly. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
Karma Hunter posted... kinsho3 posted...--Smurf-- posted...they got missile 2nd Convincing argument you have there. I'm looking at the trend charts and I see Missile shooting out the gate with a 700-vote lead, part of it on the backs of 4-chan. Then I see Kerrigan slowly wittle away at the lead for the remainder of the match, though her cuts are not nearly enough to come back. --- Drop it to the floor... |
Catherine went from +18 to +185 in an hour. This is over. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
kinsho3 posted... Karma Hunter posted...kinsho3 posted...--Smurf-- posted...they got missile 2nd Not to mention the massively inflated votals in the early part of the poll when Missile was doing all the damage. Or how Crono was being dragged 4% below his finishing percentage for no real reason during those hours. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
--Smurf-- posted... kinsho3 posted...--Smurf-- posted...they got missile 2nd Fair enough, you actually bothered to provide evidence earlier. I just remembered the pic you posted earlier on in the topic of that 4chan thread that had hundreds of replies. All right, it's possible Missile did win because of 4chan. If Kerrigan did win, I think she would have won by a fairly narrow margin anyway. --- Drop it to the floor... |
This got boring fast. --- *shrug* |
I still think this is exciting. This could be like the only time an Atlus character ever wins a match >_> --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
4chan making sure they don't have to return for this match. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 43/54 Today's Picks: Samus and Vaas |
And now this isn't even the closest wire-to-wire match anymore. What a bummer. --- Nominate Spring Breeze Dancin' from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for Character Battle IX! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc |
