I still confuse Big Boss with The Boss
Who is the stronger one?

Holy s***, this match. I f***ing love it, pic sabotage or no.

I like fighting a rally with a rally, as it gets what Bacon wants: tons of new people visiting and perhaps sticking around the site. We could be getting 2007-level votals in a theoretical Draven/Mewtwo match. Downvoting Draven rallies just seems dickish and petty, which...oh wait, this is Board 8, of course people are in favor of that. At least you guys are too disorganized to pull it off!

That said, a rally falling apart for Mewtwo early on is not good news, though it's not like he needed it.


This still annoys me to extreme levels
I didn't care at all about Draving winning but THIS is annoying
Most of the board raged and cried,calling this stuffing and some even claim Draven needs to be disqulified
So yoi give them a way to win and instead they thumbs down the rally
Are you ****ing kidding me
Fine,i'll let it slide for now
But if Link lose next round and people STILL doesn't rally for Mewtwo this will really prove how ****y this community is and full of crybabies

Next round should just be the pic sabotage round. Just use the worst possible picture for every character.


Hmm.. your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

This is disgusting. I know it sounds stereotypical, but these contests truly are ruined. If Bacon doesn't have the presence of mind to ignore the obvious pic sabotage, he doesn't deserve to be the admin of the site.

And to the people calling this a Vincent decline, I have to ask what you're smoking. I don't even know what game that model is from. This would be like using a Battle Network picture for Mega Man.

Actually scratch that, because Mega Man at least has his name to fall back on. This could be any generic "Vincent" character and noone would know except the 50 people that played whatever crap FF7 spinoff this is from.

Vincent declining certainly factors into it somewhat (Mewtwo probably wins regardless) but the pic certainly was a deciding factor in him getting third.

A bunch of redditors stuck around while a bunch of GameFAQs regulars quit the site in disgust! Now the entire site is shaken up and FF7 has weakened significantly!

Watch out for Lugia > Cloud next round and Spyro > Sephiroth next round!

Don't know if this has been discussed, but if you've got Dante > Squirtle, you might as well pack it in now.

If Bacon is going to accept that crap and be okay with the results, Dante's getting a DmC pic and that'll be the end of it.


As someone who submitted a pic for EVERY GAME DANTE HAS EVER BEEN IN, DmC is honestly one of his better looks. In 3, 4, and MvC3, his art is trash.

I think this says a lot about Vincent if he looks this bad without his normal design. I mean it still says his name and everything and you'd have to be kind of dumb to not know Vincent Valentine is from FF7, but still. All he ever had going for him was his design and without it nobody cares about him it seems.
