GameFAQs Contests

Hmm...Tifa looks safe barring a rally.

People are rallying on reddit for every other match of import. Why on earth shouldn't we try to get a reddit rally going in every match from here on out? Nobody should be dense enough to require any explanations here, really.

Don't pull away dragonborn

Tifa's barely 2nd best girl in her own game. She might not even make top 10 girls in the series for me, but who knows I haven't really bothered to think much about it.

And Dragonborn takes advantage of the split. Next!

Top tiers got wrecked. 166 of the top 192 got the match wrong. L-Block actually had the support of some of the middle tier brackets so their get prediction percentages as high as the 30s. Contest knowledge seemed to work against you here.

12 people fell off the Top 49. Azp2k32, BK_Sheikah00, ForwardArrow, JeezyMiyagi, Jobi1, Karma_Hunter, Palinchron, POOTERSS, Prometheus89, Runemistress, TheOceIot and Therobbieg did not have L-Block winning.

If Yuna can keep it close within the next couple hours she might be able to do some damage over night. I think it's probably out of range though

Although if you're a Samus supporter, Dragonborn getting rallied past Tifa is much better for her chances of beating L-Block, so there ya go...!

This appears to be more LFF than SFF...Yuna is holding up well, but both girls are really hurting each other.

Given his favorable setup, maybe Bacon thought Dragonborn was a Pokemon >_>

Bizarro L-Block at work

Wowza.

Yeah, Samus should be at least mildly concerned here. Good thing for her this site loves Nintendo much more than FF, she should be harder to rally against than Auron.

Perhaps to get the rally topics started, sure. GameFAQs and especially the people on this board like Nintendo a lot more than Final Fantasy. However, all it takes is one thread - one spark to light a fire of rallied votes, and reddit has no such compunctions considering Nintendo as sacred ground. Those votes are going to be *primed* as well, so much so as to make the distinction between Auron and Samus practically meaningless to them.

Put another way, suppose that Auron 55-45s L-Block naturally on GameFAQs and that Samus scores a 63-37 on him instead. That's a bigger hole to be sure, but the votes coming off of GameFAQs are going to be lopsided in relative proportions of, like, probably 80/20 or worse.

Even worse is that Samus probably can't score that big of a blowout on L-Block naturally because of the idiosyncrasies of this bad multiway format. Just like in L-Block/Link/Cloud/Snake where Cloud's and Snake's presence killed our contest god, Tifa will serve as a significant drain on Samus as they hurt each other with what can be essentially termed 'Non-Joke LFF'.

And that's before factoring in the fact that L's natural strength will probably increase due to forming a bit of a bandwagon next round.

yes I know this probably won't happen
