That Vincent pic is no good, as far as recognizability goes. Vincent is big on his design, and that is the complete opposite of his normal look. Someone actually went out and chose a pic from DoC and then made it the flashback version. Impressive.

That Bowser, though! Best.

Also, BT is pretty much 100% right about the Draven thing and this.

I generally never agree with him, too.

Why the hell would someone make that pic for Vincent, and even worse why would Bacon accept it??

Bacon is desperate for Pokemon to win confirmed...that explains this bracket I guess!

I've been away from my computer all day, but I'm still sure votes were stuffed for Draven. And I would like to prove it. I think the key to all of it is Indonesia. Indonesia gets a few thousand votes, and it is entirely inconceivable that no one there was on that subreddit when the entire rest of the world apparently was. It's completely illogical.

Can someone with more knowledge of these areas answer the following question: Could it be possible that someone had some sort of way to cycle IPs that the blocker didn't catch (possibly by using VPNs or something like that) and that Indonesia has something blocking free VPNs from being used for that country, therefore none of the stuffed votes came from Indonesia? Is this feasible?

I'm not trying to make you laugh, ExTha. I'm laughing at you. Vincent will be fine, or he won't. We'll know soon and spazzing out doesn't do anything for him. I want him to win as much as you do, since my bracket rides on this. Calm down, kick back, and get ready for the show.

Are you saying Indonesia gets 10% of a standard match's traffic? Because if so I have a bridge to sell you.

Indonesia is the vast majority of our Asian votes. It could be that a few thousand is too high nowadays because of lower votals, but it's still a very significant amount.

Asia is like 6% of the vote by geo trends, IIRC. It's something like 200 votes, tops.

Oh god, Vincent is so bad right now that he is losing to both Phoenix and Mewtwo despite both of them having to fight over control of the board vote. I know Vincent is going to overtake Phoenix eventually.

Lower votes in Asia just makes my point more legitimate. There weren't 200 people from reddit in that thread from Indonesia when there were hundreds (maybe thousands) from China? It just doesn't make sense.
