But yeah, if Draven wins this thing this is probably the final Gamefaqs Contest. Kinda sad to see SBAllen but so much love into this one with all the nostalgia and character unveils and all and for it to just be won by a massive rally by some random LoL character.


why would "a bunch of new people come to the site" be a reason to stop contests

Well none of them are probably ever coming back when this is done so it's not like it does much either way.

I don't think he's gonna be upset that this site gets more traffic than usual.

And did contests end after L-Block?


L-block was a thing that built up over time and generally increased traffic. This is just going to be blips on the radar every draven match and then vanish.

MMX received 225 votes that update.
Draven received 555 votes that update.

I had to calculate Draven's twice to see if that number was right.
Really considered taking him to the finals but didn't because of how badly WoW/Warcraft flopped.

SBAllen better do something about this. If this is a real rally, this contest has literally lost all relevancy, and this is going to transform what could have been a fun contest into a complete joke for the next few weeks.

If this is a legit rally, it hasn't even picked up steam yet. These things take time, and Draven has only been at it for ten minutes. The kind of updates he'll be pulling an hour from now - THAT could be scary.

L-Block never went from beating fodder to beating a Noble 9 contender in one round. This is a new beast. And it looks like this

http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5227.jpg

seriously that face is now arguably the most perfect match pic ever


Not just the face, but the whole picture, MMX's quote, Ryu's quote (I like to pretend it says "us" in place of "Sheng Long")

Personally, I think it's great that new people are pumping life into this thing. The vote totals have been f***ing anemic all contest.

*That* is the kind of thing that'd kill the Character Battle. Not Draven fans being passionate and throwing off the status quo.

He's shredding a quasi-Noble 9er already. I think everyone in this topic already expects it to happen to Link. We may get heat from newbies popping into the board to vent, but B8 already sees the writing on the wall.

I remember that SBallen post saying that not only Missingno's votes weren't stuffed, there were new anti-cheating measures implemented within a day that for some reason weren't in the system before that stopped absolutely all cheating from happening that match.

So either Draven's cheaters are magical voodoo cheaters with stuffing methods the Tidus stuffers can only dream of, or this is not stuffing. Or they are both stuffing and we are going to be told it's legit.

All those options seem okay to me!
