And your best isn't good enough! lightning is a much better rallyer than you!


We'll see about that! I've still got nine hours! I won't give up until the closing bell rings!

Now watch as the ASV shows up for real for the first time in the contest. Given this is Mario, I wouldn't rule it out!

Already 4 reddit users created since the beginning of the match
Im still not sure if my upvotes are working or not
It seems random and the number changes everytime I refresh...to something random
I don't understand reddit at all

I can't wait to see the prediction percentages. 0% of Gurus. Will the site destroy us? I can't imagine any serious bracket picking Vivi, though.

if they weren't beyond salvaging before they probably are now!


That's precisely why we need to make the stats. They're going to be so hilariously awful.

Vivi's prediction percentages are already fantastically awful because no one knows who he is without a picture. This is going to be Draven-tier decimation.

A Vivi prediction percentage is going to be 99% favorite brackets!

It'll be an easy sub-5% IMO. It might even give the later L-Block numbers a run.

I voted for Mario figuring he'd be dominating, wanting to make him look better.

I really wished I voted for Vivi instead now!


why would you vote for him if you thought he was winning well and he wasn't your favourite character in the poll?


Mario is my favorite character in the poll! I also love Vivi, too, and I'd much rather he get an awesome upset than have Mario squeak out a win after a rather pathetic performance for him.

Try LoZ and Pokemon. Might go better! Might also be worthwhile to try non-reddit places, like planetgamecube or Smashboards.

I'm not even sure who my "favorite character in the poll" is. But I've always been a fan of chaos, so as soon as I saw that Vivi had a chance at the upset, I decided to support him.

Quick question. With the vote totals being this bad, what does it mean for the contests? I know 30k isn't even half of the traffic this site gets on a daily basis. Do the majority of gamefaqs visitors and users just not care to vote anymore?

I guess I should aim to bring down the Internet within the next few minutes if I want Vivi to stay in the lead.

For a random thought exercise, how much do you think the Ganondorf votes favor Mario? And then how much do you think the Ness votes favored Luigi?

...because I'm trying to find a way that makes Mario look better than Luigi right now and struggling.

If the votals are real high, then this is an excellent result for Mario as he showed he can take a small/medium-sized rally and still damn near win despite being LFFed to hell. If the votals are normal, then Mario sucks.

Mario is only in this match because he is being rallied. Make this a night match, no rallying - Mario gets whupped.
