GameFAQs Contests

I'm actually more displeased with this than the Draven rally - that's something the contest rules tell you has the potential to happen right off the bat, and if it is I may dislike it, but so be it.

But a rigged result like this is poor form. It's like Bacon sticking a thumb in the eye of the fans. And now I'll never really know if my crazy upset would have 100% pulled it off in a fair match!

Who are the idiots that t-down the reddit rally?
OK I was not mad before when Draven owned X who is one of my most liked characters but im mad now
I don't care how much pic sabotaged Vincent got,he was supposed to be the clear favorite and some "elites" laughed at everyone that said "Mewtwo>Vincent"
This is actually happening and might happen even with fine picture for Vincent
But we want to check the power of reddit,and instead some people FROM HERE doesn't want it to happen
Fine,go on,go cry again when Draven beat the whole contest
Go and cry that reddit is not fair,when you could use it to your advantage but refused
This is trully annoys me because the people that try to destroy the rally are from this board
LoL fans don't care about other matches so it's not them

I think it's safe to say Mewtwo>Vincent would have happened, even though Mewtwo isn't really looking that hot compared to Phoenix here.

I suppose you can say there's some gray area, as Solid **** causes Snake to underperform about 10 points, and this is even worse than Solid **** so it's possible it's hurting Vincent 15 points. Unlikely IMO though.

I could see Donte hurting Dante to the level of 15 points though, so such a thing may not be impossible.

I look forward to reading the B8 Wiki in about half a year. I can't imagine the **** that is going to be written about this contest. Draven winning! Age of reddit rallies! The worst match pic since Sprite Snake! And I'm sure there is more craziness yet to come!

NO ONE ELSE CAN WIN. We have one shot at this, and it is the demi god himself. We need to T-Down their Draven rally, and rally LINK everywhere we can on the net. That is the ONLY way Draven doesn't win, no Pokemon, or (other) Nintendo character, or Square character, or ANYTHING ELSE, has the strength (even boosted) to survive the insanely blatant cheating that BSAllen is allowing here. And by god that means T downing EVERY other rally this board puts up on Reddit that hinders Link's efforts.

If Mewtwo > Vincent in a fair fight, maybe Vincent is lucky to get this picture. It's gives him a convenient excuse for losing.

Link is only strong in those contests because he is strong in this site
Draven got more votes by himself than every other match vote totals
You know what this means? That even if every person that regulary votes will vote for Link,he will still lose
Where do you plan to rally for Link then...?

Except none of these rallies would actually hinder Link's efforts, because Link faces Draven NEXT ROUND. That much has already been locked. Any rallying that happens for the rest of this round is just an insurance policy in case Link can't pull it off.

Not that we need any more rallying in advance of Link's match. Pikachu and Charizard are going to reach Round 3 on their own strength, and Mewtwo's next match isn't until after Link vs. Draven.

The KEY is to downvote their rally over everything else. Without that everything else is pointless (or hack Reddit and shut the ***** down for the match).... After that though, it is still an absolute WAR that we have on our hands, and the only person inherently stronger enough is Link, we need every vote that GameFAQs can muster (which is clearly Zelda) and then as many votes as possible (because every vote will count) across the net. No one else has a chance, it is up to the Hylian Hammer.

Can someone send him a better Vincent picture?
I want Mewtwo to win but I admit it's not fair

Yes they will, they will desensitize people to the rallies.

do you guys think bacon will accept this

Sometimes when I'm walking through the rain and I get lost on my way back to the shelter I'll take out my tattered wallet and look at the picture when I think no one's looking.

http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5229.jpg

And for a split second I'll wonder, who is that Neo cosplayer in the middle?, and then I'll remember and break down and cry.

Tears streaming down my cheeks intermingling with the acidic rainwater, I lose consciousness and pray to never see the light again

But of course I will regain consciousness again. Chained to this body - the punishment that's been given to me, yes, I remember that phrase...

Mister Hunter, we found you face down in the alley behind the liquor store... The young lady tries to reassure my fears, almost as if she's psychic...

PSYCHIC

LIKE

MEWTWO

"Get away from me!" I'll roar, lunging out of bed with the crazed manic pace of a wildman. The orderlies are on top of me but I've seen their tricks one too many times and coolly gouge out their eyes with a nearby thumbtack, its brass shine glinting in the light like a certain attorney's badge.

"Overruled," I'll one-liner, sticking the thumbtack onto my left collar.

then I jump out the window

Marth is a Smash leech that gets some votes from his games, but probably not much. The older FE games with Marth in them never came to America, they basically suck these days, and nobody has played them. Even people going back through the Japan-only games with ROMs and translation patches generally just skip Marth's games and go straight to FE4 or later. The Shadow Dragon remake on DS came out in the west but it also sucked and was VERY negatively received by the fanbase and has the ratings and reviews to prove it. It might have even hurt him; in addition to the game sucking, Marth is pretty boring there, he's a required unit but pretty bad at combat, and "that guy from Melee and Brawl" might very well have preferable.

The Smash connection was a good draw for many people getting into Fire Emblem when FE7 first came to the west a decade ago, but I don't get the sense that anyone in the non-Japanese FE fanbase cares about Marth at this point. The only game we've gotten with Marth in it sucked. All he's got is the "Are Marth and Roy in this game?" joke meme.

Ness being about equal to Marth would not surprise me in the slightest. Pretty sure the FE fanbase is bigger than Earthbound's, but at least the Earthbound fanbase cares about their guy. Which means Phoenix is about equal to...2010 Big Daddy.

Joy for Phoenix.

This is all purely hypothetical but an idea some may find appealing nonetheless. First of all, let's face it, if Draven gets a rally as large as the one he got this round (assuming it was legit) then Link has no chance of actually winning. As others have said before repeated rallies on Reddit or other sites would likely have diminished returns as the number of rallies increase. Though this idea would likely mess with the stats for other matches at least somewhat it may be an "acceptable loss" if it means making a Draven Rally next round less likely to succeed.

Essentially, go to the LoL SubReddit every day/multiple times a day and post a "Rally" for Draven specifically when he doesn't have matches. I could tell you that if I've seen twenty fake rally posts for Draven on Reddit between now and his next match I would stop paying any attention to them eventually. Obviously this isn't particularly fool-proof but I somehow doubt that it would hurt Link (or Shepard?) in any meaningful way no matter what.

Best of luck to all.

If Marth and Ness ever went head-to-head I'd pick Ness without really thinking about it.

Draven probably got about 30-35k stuffed votes last round so uh, yeah, I don't think the Reddit rally even matters at this point.

No stopping the rallies will work if we can pull it off. Without the rally as a cover, any stuffing will be blatantly obvious and Bacon won't be able to deny it.

...well, maybe he still will. I'll be there downvoting the rallies though (also be on the lookout for a decent window before the match, they'll probably start them early).

Does everyone truly believe that Bacon is blatantly lying about the Draven match being legit?
