Watch Auron come back to win, making L-Block's scare entirely pointless. Whoo --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
it's still going to keep me scared about Missingno regardless of the outcome --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
What
happened?When I last checked Auron was winning by like 200 votes.Man
rallies at this contest are getting ridiculous.Also Draven-LBlock-Snake
final?That would be awesome. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Yeah,
this match is terrifying for Squall/Missingno. If L-Block can hold
around 40% here, there's no reason Missingno can't do the same, and I
don't see Amaterasu getting beaten down to sub-20%. --- ~War~ |
LeonhartFour posted... it's still going to keep me scared about Missingno regardless of the outcome You can always take back what you said before the match starts. Not that Missingno stands much of a chance against Squall though. You have nothing to worry about. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |

No, Crono beat Mario in 2004 by about 6000 votes, led wire to wire. Mario only won 3 15-minute updates all day. Mario "beat" Crono in 2003 with a rally and/or stuffing (hard to prove). --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

Mario "beat" Crono in 2003 with a rally and/or stuffing (hard to prove). Maybe Crono rallied so much for almost the entire poll that it looked like Mario rallied at the end. >_> --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 101/135 Today's Picks: Samus and Auron |
lol if this holds Palutena could end up looking better than Pit. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Yes,
Mario/Cloud had about 50,000 votes above what 2002 matches were
getting. Cloud, in losing, received more votes than any entrant in a
Gamefaqs contest had ever received before. Now, it's clear that most of
the 50,000 was not from PlanetGamecube, but we remember PGC because
they rallied to the poll during the match, we saw it, and they probably
provided a few hundred votes that made the difference. Crono stuffed votes against Mario a few days after that in 2002, but CJayC removed 500 votes from him for stuffing allowing Mario to win. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Dragonborn at 27% in the spread betting topic? Really? O_O --- Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all |
WRT
Drave... While I wasn't exactly fond of what L-Block did in 2007, at
least it was plausible (and I got over it). Draven? Not so much. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

Oh crap L-Block? I guess I wouldn't have known the joke was funny again because I never thought it was funny in the first place. On the other hand, MissingNo trumping FF8 would be hee-larious. Still hope Auron pulls this out though. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A.

Maybe Crono rallied so much for almost the entire poll that it looked like Mario rallied at the end. Not possible because the poll was getting disproportionately more votes at the end than a normal poll. I think I calculated out the number of extra votes during Crono/Missingno, and Mario/Crono 2003 had something like 10,000 extra votes- the vast majority of which were in the last 2 hours. Obviously a lot of those were for Crono, but it's clear most of the rallying was at the end and Mario rallied more. The extra votes could also be stuffing- it's probably impossible for us to distinguish between rallying and stuffing in that match with the data we have. Back during Crono/Missingno I said that Mario/Crono 2003 was clearly stuffing, but we've since learned that massive rallies, even on the order of 10,000 votes, are possible. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Auron cuts a lot.Maybe he can win. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Nice Auron, keep closing the gap. Unfortunately L-Block is the king of close matches. --- http://i.imgur.com/CQVaT6Xl.jpg |
I foresee no difficulty. --- Bushido! |
And that 10,000 would have been about 6000 for Mario and 4000 for Crono. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Nanis23 posted... What the ****? some people here are just...wow... "If I can't get what I want, no one else will!" (The point they're missing is that a bunch of people are immensely enjoying Draven winning and it just helps set up the best possible scenario. Evil nurses the seeds of its own destruction, and all that.) --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
"If I can't get what I want, no one else will!" Yes. It's simple. I want Link to win (well, I want Crono to win, but I know that won't happen). That means I want Link to beat every other character. If Link loses to Draven, he's lost to one character. If Draven then loses to Snake, then Link is now behind 2 characters. That's worse than one. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
That's pretty rich coming from you, given how kangame turned out. >_> --- ~War~ |
swordz9 posted... I thought Kanz got banned? Kancer can't be obliterated without destroying its host body, only stalled. (I was put on probation and that was that. Not even Ulti's mod pockets can make a random topic banworthy) --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |

FranzyvonKarma posted... That's pretty rich coming from you, given how kangame turned out. >_> Hey, I wasn't the one who gave that one up! People just never were there (and refused to let the game run with absentees - I remember Zero saying he wouldn't play if scep couldn't make it because it'd screw the campaign up and stuff). If everybody wanted to restart it and promised to, like, show up I'd be on that in a heartbeat. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |

Auron's largest lead was 82 votes. --- you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day |
It'd
be hilarious if it turns out most GameFAQs users actually end up
supporting Draven's crazy run rather than being against him like most of
Board 8 suspects. How many votes did X and Ryu get, anyway? How would Draven have compared if the match got average votals? --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
red sox 777 posted... "If I can't get what I want, no one else will!" Oh, don't get me wrong, I totally understand that. I don't like it, but I get it. I just think it's a riot that people want to back Draven to ruin the contest. Draven making the finals with people getting behind him is one half of my dream scenario, so it just makes me smile. L-Block winning another contest would be a much better troll, or Squirtle beating Cloud. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Nanis23 posted... The_Djoker posted...Nanis23 posted...What the ****? some people here are just...wow... tbh. I'm voting for Shepard..because he's the best character of the 3. I use to like link and respect him since OoT and LttP are some of my all time fav games, but now he's just another Nintendo character that gets whored out way too often. And his last few games have been underwhelming to say the least. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Not_Wylvane posted... It'd be hilarious if it turns out most GameFAQs users actually end up supporting Draven's crazy run rather than being against him like most of Board 8 suspects. They had 28k votes combined. If you retain those and assume high-but-not-insane votals of 36k, Draven gets 8k. Or did you mean retaining the percentages and converting to standard votals? --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Not_Wylvane posted... It'd be hilarious if it turns out most GameFAQs users actually end up supporting Draven's crazy run rather than being against him like most of Board 8 suspects. X and Ryu combined for just under 28,500 votes. How Draven would have done under normal circumstances is hard to say. Do we just give him 15% and assume that's good for around 4,500 votes? X and Ryu would be a little lower under normal circumstances too, probably around 25,500 if we just arbitrarily say normal is 30k. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

Oh hey, Auron's about to retake the lead. I don't think anyone's actually noticed that yet. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

Not_Wylvane posted... Oh hey, Auron's about to retake the lead. L-Block will grab a huge gain to counter it. --- The Gamer In Me His dark secret is he's really Spark Brushel in disguise. If people knew, he'd be ruined. - Spiral on the black psyche locks |
KanzarisKelshen posted... red sox 777 posted..."If I can't get what I want, no one else will!" Are you serious? Half of the posts said they are voting for X/Ryu The other half said they are voting Draven just because they want to destroy this contest/make fun of us/laugh at Black Turtle for being 9 years old |
You
know the main reason rallies annoy me is because they **** with my
Oracle predictions! Doubly worse when the match is looking as you
expected until the rally as well. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
Well,
Auron should be fine so long as "normal trends" are in effect. L-Block
needs rallies to stay ahead. Once Auron just started stalling this was
kind of inevitable unless L-Block got more help. I doubt L-Block just gives up without a fight here though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Auron's
problem is that it's almost impossible to beat a joke character in a
close match. If it's close with an hour to go, you will get outrallied.
Whether it's a crushing wave of votes like Crono/Missingno or a
surgical strike like Tidus/Missingno matters little- the joke just won't
lose. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
My
favorite part of the reddit rally is that redditors themselves hate
Black Turtle so much that they rallied Draven just to spite him. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

Yeah, Auron just basically needs to surge out to a big lead and never look back from here. That's all he can hope to do. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
