Dude's so buttmad over people's choice of games. --- http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1555051/cle.gif http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/1875n6uzefjuxgif/original.gif LoL IGN: Paintballreturns |
MMX with pretty consistent gains on Ryu --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
2Dover3D posted... Nanis23 posted...There is still the possibilty it will die off and Draven will slow down X can do this easily if Draven stop getting like 800 votes per update Not sure how Reddit works,but to me it feels like this is something that will die soon as most people that check the LoL reddit already voted |
Looks like my last minute switch to Ryu > X > Draven paid off in a way. >_> |
Karma Hunter posted... SnoicFactor posted...lol 51%.. this is link level, it will now go over. Well, I could see Link getting 51% on these two. Draven will obviously go waaay over that. His vote intake already far surpass Link. --- nt |
The Real Truth posted... This rally is working especially well because of how far GFQs has fallen over the years. People just don't come to the site anymore. Not true. Allen has said before that the site's seeing more Google traffic than ever, these days, but that very little of it ever actually touches the front page of the site. It's all traffic directed at individual game pages. --- Ace Detective for Hire http://i.imgur.com/cuD4Yfy.jpg |
My
only actual legit complaint (LoL fans being terrible isn't legit, I
admit this) is he's facing Link too early. If he wins that match, the
contest is over two rounds early and there isn't much else to get hyped
for. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
I
dunno, I think this is a pretty good percentage for Link in such a
match. Maybe even a touch better, but Draven has barely started. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
Increasing
site traffic is a good thing, but the problem is nearly all new voters
will never visit GameFAQs again except during rallied contest battles. Also, highly doubt any vote stuffing. League player base is worldwide and would have no need to stuff to win votes. --- --- --- |
I want Draven to win so big at this point that Jak and Chie are 2 and 3 in the X-Stats. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
With a Link/Snake/Mario there was at least some intrigue. Draven is just going to steamroll through now. Well, at least I still have the Expert going for me. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
Nanis23 posted... 2Dover3D posted...Nanis23 posted...There is still the possibilty it will die off and Draven will slow down Draven's vote intake did not die one bit when his rally got going against Jak. |
Draven has more votes than Link's entire match had last night. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
No,
it's decided by the people who want it more. Seriously, go to reddit.
Go to MM fansites. GO. NOW. Don't wait until this match is over, get
EVERYBODY to vote for MMX. You want the win? Go for the win. Influence
it. You're not a passive observer. You're a guy with know-how, someone
who understands how these contests go. Don't let someone else curbstomp
the guys you like. Try to turn the match around for them! The issue is that rallies are always bad and ruin contests. This is why most contests on this board ban them. If the way to "win" here is with rallies, I don't really see the point. Rallies are the whole problem. I don't give a **** about Draven in particular. --- "The courtroom is the garden of holy judgment. Those with lechery in their hearts should leave this sanctuary at once!" ~Franziska von Karma |
Dammit, the mafia boss actually had men! Who knew? Thinking Draven's still got some work to do here though. (Please stop all the LoL/Dota crap) --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
IngmarBirdman posted... So... at this point like why bother making brackets or doing any sort of predicting whatsoever? The bigger the rally, the less the entire contest history matters. At least Oracle survives because everybody bombs the same match and the others are normal. Because rallies can be influenced? Board 8 can be the opinion leader, if it chooses not to sit on its ass. But you gotta do work for that. No free lunches! |

At least Oracle survives because everybody bombs the same match and the others are normal. Expert mostly survives this too, I think. But yeah, almost every other part of this I lose interest in. Trying to "factor in" rallies was the worst part of Expert already! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Maybe they'll think Link is the final and forget to rally Draven against Sonic and Sephiroth --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
If Draven does this again against Link, he will absolutely murder him. He's just getting pure votes. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
SnoicFactor posted... Karma Hunter posted...SnoicFactor posted...lol 51%.. this is link level, it will now go over. Not even the slightest chance. Draven has about as much on Ryu as Link got on Raiden. Ryu v Raiden who ya got --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
RallyFAQS |
Has anybody looked at the vote totals? After only 50 minutes this match already has 9,200 votes. The prior two night matches only had 4,600 and 4,300 votes after 50 minutes. So there are around 5,000 rally votes that have been placed. I know this is what of the contest too but I can't help but think that it really ruins the legitimacy of it. --- Point Total: 44/46. Guru Status: Alive My Bracket Says: Night: Pikachu Day: Magus |
Rallies have always been legal in GameFAQs contests. Mario/Cloud 2k2 was decided by one! --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
KanzarisKelshen posted... kinsho3 posted...raginbull911 posted...People really need to stop moaning and complaining about cheating and stuffing and understand the situation. Just stop, man. This is like a rich man telling a poor man "You want more money? THEN GO. Invest millions in real estate and bonds. Open up multiple stores. Buy lawyers that know every single tax evasion trick in the book. Open up a Cayman Islands account. That's how you turn your life around!" --- Drop it to the floor... |
UltimaterializerX posted... My only actual legit complaint (LoL fans being terrible isn't legit, I admit this) is he's facing Link too early. If he wins that match, the contest is over two rounds early and there isn't much else to get hyped for. Draven vs Mario is way more hype than Draven vs. Link to me. Intuitively, yes, Link's stronger, but Mario is Mario. He's the kryptonite of rallies because he's too respected. Why can't he pull this off, in theory? |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Fr0zoN posted...Man this would be so much more enjoyable without the gloating of LoL .....fan(s)? I dont know what it is. It's like you have a sense of achievement or something when literally all that's happened is a much wider audience has been exposed to the gamefaqs contest rendering it completely pointless. I could understand if Draven had legit strength on gamefaqs and proved himself but I dunno, seeing another site completely dominating a gamefaqs contest just grates I guess. |
Wow, Draven/Ryu/MMX have essentially flipped percentages based off the early minutes. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... UltimaterializerX posted...My only actual legit complaint (LoL fans being terrible isn't legit, I admit this) is he's facing Link too early. If he wins that match, the contest is over two rounds early and there isn't much else to get hyped for. Shut up. Seriously. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
what's wrong with rallying i don't get this contest **** you people obsess over it's a popularity contest and right now some random LoL character is more popular than two has-been entities. --- http://yankeesfansunite.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/brett-gardner-33.jpg http://www.bellettiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/_mg_1335.jpg |
Mario/Cloud had a 500 vote spike around dinner that was allowed to stick. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
kinsho3 posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...kinsho3 posted...raginbull911 posted...People really need to stop moaning and complaining about cheating and stuffing and understand the situation. You know what? I'm gonna look for a Capcom reddit now and make a post there. If MMX gains, this proves, beyond a shadow of doubt proves, that it only takes one man to make a difference. If he doesn't, what it proves is that Draven is winning because of one of two things: Stuffing (possible, I rule nothing out until Bacon makes the final call), or because, you know, it has the biggest AND most devoted fanbase in the world. |
Fr0zoN posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Fr0zoN posted...Man this would be so much more enjoyable without the gloating of LoL .....fan(s)? It completely invalidates the contest and renders all the time we spent discussing and arguing about it meaningless when DRAVEN RALLY was the entire determining factor. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
BrettGardner_ posted... what's wrong with rallying Ryu a has-been? Yeah, sure. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
KanzarisKelshen posted... UltimaterializerX posted...My only actual legit complaint (LoL fans being terrible isn't legit, I admit this) is he's facing Link too early. If he wins that match, the contest is over two rounds early and there isn't much else to get hyped for. I legitimately don't believe that you believe this. If Link goes down it's over. And based on this Link's demise is near inevitable! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
10,265 votes in less than one hour! --- Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation. |
And you guys thought western characters couldn't compete on this backwards ass stuck in the 90s website --- F*** BT |
I can respect LoL, but Ashe would have been much cooler in this spot. She's the tutorial character, after all. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
Heh,
can you imagine if Draven reached the finals only for the combined
powers of the internet to give Mario the win. Or hell, L-BLOCK hahaha --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Can
someone explain to me why Draven can pull this off but not Teemo? I
looked at the popularity charts for LOL champions and Teemo seems to be
one of the top 3 and Draven isn't even in the top 10. --- 3DS FC: 2707-1839-1832 Name: Chomp |
Fr0zoN posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Fr0zoN posted...Man this would be so much more enjoyable without the gloating of LoL .....fan(s)? I don't know why, though. GameFAQS contests were the largest polls in the internet, the entire internet, at their peak. They were literally the embodiment of what the mainstream thought of games and characters. Why are we opposed to this being a thing again? |
I'd love this if it was Garen or Ezreal or whatever. Draven's kinda whatever, and he's very annoying to fight against. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
If a rally of this size happens in Link's match next round, we're looking at getting over 80000 votes for sure. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
NewCastlEmperor posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Go to MM fansites. GO. NOW. that is a hopeless cause. The league of legends subreddit probably dwarfs every major mega man community combined. |
Hey I'm not gonna let this get me down. I'll at least take solace in mah boi Snake getting further in a contest than Link! Also now no one can prove that Snake wouldn't have beaten Link if Draven hadn't gotten in the way, an ambiguous ending for everyone <_< --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Because Teemo is awful. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I
still feel this is bogus but it's a lot less obvious this time and
enough of it might be legitimate that even being thorough with vote
stuffing checks has Draven winning. Also there won't be anything
thorough about checking for that so yeah. MMX could definitely come back if the vote stuffers are blowing their load to create excitement and there isn't that much rally backbone to it. Keep in mind MMX was extending his lead like 200 and update before this hit full throttle. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Qwaar posted... BrettGardner_ posted...what's wrong with rallying because the Street Fighter franchise is so huge these days. --- http://yankeesfansunite.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/brett-gardner-33.jpg http://www.bellettiphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/_mg_1335.jpg |
