Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1133

Assuming Ezio > Altair, Auron is still looking fine here, just that this L-Block's performance is totally out of the blue.

If L-Block wins here, let's hope it gets enough momentum to make it past Samus and Mario. Draven vs Snake vs L-Block would be glorious, totally wtf moment.

4-Chan is clearly rallying for L-Block because they don't want Reddit to show them up


Clearly, the answer is to ask Reddit for help and...watch Ezio sail to an easy first.

(Not even going to bother with that. If I'm doing something it'll be for Squall and Amaterasu.)

Everybody in this board supports L-Block. As long as it is a thing of the past.

But if it starts getting upsets, people start hating him again, from what I'm seeing in this thread.

Remember how L-Block only got stronger as the rounds worn on

Auron was suppose to put him down...now there's no stopping him

RIP Samus


Auron would be winning. The problem is the other badass in the match (I assume he's a badass, never played his game). People who were going to L-Block this year were always going to vote for L-Block.

L-Block does not discriminate

He kills at will and he kills whoever he wants. Good characters. Bad characters. Their asses will be kicked by the boot-shaped Block all the same.

Good point. Should Block win, Tifa gets the free run at Samus she deserves!


Hopefully Samus gets a picture with her Power Suit this time around...

Absolutely pathetic this result is. I'll be voting for Draven now. The Gamefaqs community is even more pathetic than Reddits.

Draven winning might end these stupid contests once and for all. I honestly think this will be the last Character battle. We should only do game contests from now since there's no equivilant of an L block for a game(well I guess brawl but that won't ever win).

Yeah, not sure why anyone thinks Draven winning discourages Bacon from contests. Link loses and he has a bunch of outside traffic coming to the site (which arguments aside, unless he's just lying to us, he at least believes.)

Weigh that against Board 8's dissatisfaction, which isn't even united very well, and I think it's a pretty easy win for him! He accomplished his objectives as far as I can tell!

Between Draven and L-Block, I think L-Block is the lesser of the 2 evils right now. Draven winning would upset most of this site because he was really bad turbofodder using just his natural strength from the GameFAQs voters. While L-Block was already a low midcarder in its first match against Kirby in 2007.

Yeah, if Draven wins one time it'll be a win for Bacon, but if LoL stuff gets rallied every single contest, it will drive down overall interest in the contests and get people to leave the site or just come less often, which is probably more likely. Even if say 50,000 people visit the site on the day of a Draven match, that's only 50,000 seconds worth of traffic. Even one person leaving, would drop the total traffic time down by way more than that.*


*Obviously, site view numbers have to be weighted. 5 people visiting the site for 1 hour is obviously better than 1 person visiting the site for 5 hours, and so forth, but the point stands that a bunch of split second clicks can be outweighed by fewer people cutting back their site visit times greatly.

I still don't know if I seriously buy claims that Draven/LoL/Outside rally domination will actually drive a noticeable number of people from the site.

It might kill interest pretty bad on Board 8, but this is the only place I actually could believe people leaving the site over this, and I doubt it'd be that many. At worst, I expect we just stop caring all that much and this place just becomes more like the off-season in spite of matches.

I mean, any time I see the contest mentioned on any other board, which is already hardly ever, it's almost always whining about Link/FF always winning, whether it be factually correct or not. Not sure replacing the dominant force would change the minds of people who believe that. In fact, I'm not even sure how long the domination would need to be for them to realize Link/FF had been overthrown unless it was made super obvious like having 10+ LoL characters in, all with crazy rallies!

12:00 | 60.87% | 16.45% | 22.68% | 1799

Look at Samus showing bonafide Nintendo trends. Catherine has a strong night vote and dies come morning time. Knux is pretty consistent overall except for a couple of strange hours.

X-Stats:

Samus Aran – 50.00%
Knuckles the Echidna – 25.64%
Sandbag – 21.58%
Catherine – 21.38%
Neku Sakuraba – 20.84%
Celes Chere – 20.42%

Draven winning means outside influence dictated the result of the contest. Meaning we could have random starcraft/Dota2/LoL or whatever random characters rallying themselves to victory in meaningless poll..

The major factor of these contests is the predictions brackets discussions/strength of individuals etc...

You have 1 guy who comes in and just ralliess 100k votes per round then it kind of throws everything out of the window...therefore it will force Allen to think about a different metho or stop these character battles all together. Now game battles is fine. or something unique and different like a best Song or something.

And if Allen wants Character battles to mean something in the future, he'd allow fictional characters. But the guy doesn't even do that...even though he welcomes Reddit hits.
