How bad do you figure Draven does without a rally..? How about with a rally? --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
Match LXXXIV: (3) Draven vs. (15) Ryu vs. (7) Mega Man X Previous Round Draven – 40.47% Jak – 33.20% Chie Satonaka – 26.34% Ryu – 56.19% Yuri Lowell – 26.41% Face McShooty – 17.40% Mega Man X – 65.22% Jigglypuff – 24.01% Welkin Gunther – 10.76% Analysis Draven should finish in last, but considering he is here due to the largest rallies we have ever seen you can never be so confident. Teemo’s performance last round also makes things more difficult to predict. I know he is not the favourite among fans, but not only was there no rally there were almost no attempts in trying to rally for him. Should there be no rally Draven likely struggles to finish above 10% against the two near-elites. Even if Draven gets a rally it is not guarantee that he will win. I predict Draven will need 11-12000 net votes from the rally which is more than what he did against Jak and Chie. In theory he is capable of getting that many votes, but the rally will need to start earlier and have a longer peak. There is also the issue that it will likely be harder to rally for Draven in this match as more people know and like Mega Man X or Ryu than Jak or Chie and will probably vote for them, negating some of the rally power. Back to the regular match Mega Man X and Ryu had some debate, it is unlikely that Mega Man X is as strong as Mega Man and Ryu has decent strength where he could capitalize on it. We still do not know Mega Man X’s true strength, but at least we have some idea. Ocelot’s performance on Auron places Mega Man X as the strongest non-Noble Nine character, but it was likely Auron suffered LFF from Roxas and trying to use Ocelot as a constant is very dangerous. Still that gives Mega Man X quite the buffer to work with and Ryu did not impress last round. I assume Yuri Lowell is somehow stronger now than in 2010, if not Mega Man X is going to win in crushing fashion. I also doubt there will be any Capcom SFF, unlike Nintendo Capcom characters tend to be more separate, even though most of them have had cross-over games. Because this match can go in different directions I have decided to make my prediction in a way to maximize my oracle. charmander6000’s Bracket: Mega Man X > Ryu and Draven charmander6000’s Prediction: Mega Man X – 44.68%, Ryu – 35.38%, Draven – 19.94% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |

What's up with the high votals in this match? Was there a rally going on today? --- Be a good little washing machine, now... o_0 |
Nope, strong characters from different fanbases bring in votes. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
I
see no evidence of rallies. You have 3 very different fanbases
represented in this match and 2 of those characters are big names. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

MarioSuperstar posted... Are there any prepared draven rallies? ... I've got one ready for the LoL forums in NA and Europe, as well as Reddit and 4chan. Gotta go all out to have a chance! |
what happened to preparing a rally during division 8 |
1337gamerpr0 posted... what happened to preparing a rally during division 8 I already did that? But only a fool puts up a topic early when you can't even vote, that was for coordinating people to get as many eyes sites in on the rally as possible come match time. You have to strike the iron when it's hot! |
you should play poker, you might be able to bluff lots of people there |
ChenKenichiFan posted... Doesn't this round also need a bonus 12-hour match a la Chester/Kaim/Dancin' before we move into the 24 hour matches? If so, it would be the perfect time to throw a non-game character in a test match against an established game entrant. There was a suggestion for Link/Batman/Goku, but there were a few people against that idea because we don't want a bonus match to give us any information about the strength of any fictional characters before they officially make their debut in an actual bracket. It's better to have a fictional character contest where we know nothing about any of these fictional characters. It will make for a more unpredictable contest. If Batman had bombed in the bonus match, it would kill off any hope of having a fictional character contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Eh I think Draven will bomb. Don't even like draven, so many other characters from LoL with more appeal. |
I want Garrus/Mordin/Wrex or just a favorite non-Shepard ME character poll after the contest --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |

Yes, but if Batman is going to bomb I'd rather know about it beforehand than waste a whole contest on having weak random characters in it. They don't belong already, but if they could mix things up maybe they're worth having once (I'm personally against it but I understand those who want it). But if they're going to bomb anyway, then I'd much rather know about it and have a 1v1 normal contest instead. |
Can someone link the pic? I haven't seen it yet/not sure how to find it exactly. |

So
I was unexpectedly without internet until tonight, I seem to have
missed one or two fun things. Where are the topics archived? Didn't see it on creativenames' site or ngamer's, though I may have been looking at the wrong thing. --- Menji has reclaimed what was his by rights. I was more of a man with his than with my own combined. ##Alec |
Incidentally, as it turns out Luster is the secret mastermind behind the Draven rally. Don't tell anyone! |
This might be our most-hyped match since... Missingno/Sephiroth, maybe. And we have Draven to thank for that. Never mind, this match is going to be boring as anything. We're not thanking Draven for anything. |
Since Leon did not do a trend chart for Chester/Caim/Dancin', I will do it instead. Time | Chester | Caim | Dancin' | Votes 0:05 | 23.42% | 37.03% | 39.56% | 316 1:00 | 20.42% | 50.60% | 28.98% | 2688 2:00 | 20.86% | 54.79% | 24.35% | 2004 3:00 | 20.23% | 57.44% | 22.33% | 1760 4:00 | 18.79% | 56.49% | 24.72% | 1517 5:00 | 20.58% | 54.70% | 24.72% | 1404 6:00 | 20.16% | 54.27% | 25.56% | 1240 7:00 | 20.14% | 56.85% | 23.02% | 1008 8:00 | 20.77% | 56.53% | 22.70% | 987 9:00 | 18.94% | 55.92% | 25.14% | 903 10:00 | 19.06% | 56.41% | 24.53% | 897 11:00 | 20.92% | 54.67% | 24.41% | 889 12:00 | 18.24% | 57.81% | 23.96% | 839 Look at those horrible hourly vote totals. Caim starts off really bad in the beginning, but does an FF7 impression here by rising for the entire match. Caim does better in the second half. Dancin' is the exact opposite, as it started off with an extremely strong board vote and had a lead on Caim for the first 5 minutes before Caim stormed ahead easily. Dancin' performs best in the first hour. Oddly enough, Chester's best hour is not the first hour of the match. Chester's best hour is near the end of the match, but he never wins a single hour over Dancin'. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Luster We don't need to be completely in the blind regarding the strength of fictional characters, but we also don't need to see the strongest, biggest guys until we get an actual contest. That's why I'm suggest a happy medium in Vegeta. Vegeta vs. Dante (or someone thereabouts). If Vegeta wins or makes it close, we at least know that several fictional characters will have respectable strength in a Character Battle. If he gets creamed, well then, I guess SBAllen wins. Is there any way we can get the ball rolling on this as you did with the bonus fodder match? I'll help if needed. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
AxemRedRanger posted... You know, I was going to no-pick everyone this match this because of DravenFEAR... Good man! No guts, no glory! That's the way to win a contest! |
I'm
a coward. I'm only picking X for this match, nothing for 2nd and 3rd.
If X wins good, but at least I won't get out of the league if the entire
order is wrong. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... Never mind, this match is going to be boring as anything. We're not thanking Draven for anything. Even if it's "interesting," I refuse to thank Draven. If anything, that would make me even less thankful! |
yoblazer, here's what I did to get the bonus match set up: 1. Create a topic allowing for other users to suggest ideas for bonus matches. Any user can vouch for any of the suggestions posted in the topic. After about 1 or 2 days, the suggestions were copied over to Notepad and tallied up. I took the ten most popular suggestions based on the number of nominations. If there were multiple suggestions with just 1 nomination, I eliminated the ones I thought would get the least number of votes in a voting topic. 2. Create a poll topic with the 10 most popular suggestions. The poll will last for about 1 day and then the 5 least popular options will be eliminated. 3. Create a final voting topic using the 5 most popular suggestions. If any suggestions use characters that are not in the contest, someone can use the topic to submit a profile picture, quote, and description for those characters. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Just
going to stick with X > Ryu > Draven and hope that if Draven
pulls anything the rest of the leaderboard falls with me. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

I so badly want to put Ryu in first. But I don't dare. |
God,
help X and Ryu smite the evil one next match. Also, if you can, make
sure you put Ryu at a distant second early in the match. --- Drop it to the floor... |
If Draven wins this then he wins the contest |
Fr0zoN posted... If Draven wins this then he wins the contest I don't buy this. The Link match will be something else entirely, and it's not just because it's Link. If Draven just buries MMX/Ryu, then sure, maybe, but if he squeaks by then it isn't necessarily enough. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

Fr0zoN posted... If Draven wins this then he wins the contest There's a Link in the way. Don't get me wrong I'd be f***ing stoked if Link lost to someone who could then be taken down via backlash and then Snake --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
