And if L-Block is fighting back against Auron, he's not doing a good job here.

Maybe he has less jokey trends than we expected, now that he's more of a GameFAQs staple?

"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.


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.


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


I was talking about myself here! And no, half the people were chattering excitedly about a raffle they were organizing in grassroots fashion to help foster a Draven win. You need to go read that topic again IMO!

My favorite part of the reddit rally is that redditors themselves hate Black Turtle so much that they rallied Draven just to spite him.


This was the only redeeming feature of the rally, really. Common ground between Board 8 and Reddit!

L-Block/Missingno/Charizard semifinals.

Who wins? Missingno has significant overlap with both L-Block (as a joke entrant--and Missingno.'s best-known form is kind of even the same shape as L-Block, or at least similar) and Charizard (as a Gen I Pokémon).

Oh, Charizard outright crushes them both with ease. Missingno/Charizard might be tougher, but I think even then Charizard can SFF Missingno hard, though Missingno might be indirectly stronger. (Think Missingno = Samus and Charizard = Mario)

And Auron's lead over Ezio only went up by 45 with that update! Which means that Ezio was only 13 behind Missingno there.
