Nobody is going to rally for Squall.

Mario will crush him if he survives this.

This match is just proving Zidane/Ridley was all a Zidane boost.

Dante's 56% on Zidane is actually INCREDIBLE, and Squirtle is stronger than Cloud even before the FFVII drop.

I don't care about my favourite characters getting screwed by a rally. I follow the contest for the prediction aspect, and rallies are killing this now.

Allen's going to remove votes from Mario for stuffing.

How much rallying is Vivi getting here? Just because Draven can rally tens of thousands of votes doesn't mean other characters can.

If this is a traditional rally in the hundreds of votes, then Vivi/Mario is already really close, before rallying. In which case Mario looks to be in serious trouble against a stronger opponent in Squall. Because although the overlap with Red is less, Red won't fold. Like at all.

I'm feeling terribly depressed right now because of how Mario is doing.


Don't be! This is a test of the oldest, most resilient fanbase in gaming! Mario needs your help now, more than ever. Upvote his rally thread! Call everybody who can help and get them to join in! Make posts in Ninty forums! It's high time we kicked this into high gear, and what better way to do that than by warming up our anti-Draven engines right now?

Between 4chan and Reddit? Who knows. I know you'd like to think its insignificant, but it's not Ganondorf causing a problem. Also, Squall is pretty unimportant.

Based on Auron/L-Block, anything from 3000 to 6000 votes.

L-block was keeping it close with Auron before his rally took off late at night so I am going to estimate that he received around 3k votes. Vivi's rally seems to be form the same place so expect that many extra votes.

This entire contest was full of 2 fodders going on 100 votes stallwars for the entire match and then the winner wins by 10 votes
Expert challenge for second place was mostly luck based,screw those predictions
#115 | Then00bAvenger | Posted 8/29/2013 9:36:46 AM | message detail
Vivi is only getting like a couple hundred more extra votes anyway considering the vote totals(and that's assuming none of them are voting for Mario instead). If Mario is in the position where he's getting less than 55% against Vivi regardless, a little extra rallying to push Vivi up to his level ain't that big a deal if you ask me.

When im logged in,there are 19 upvotes for Mario rally
When I log out,just 15
It's very hard to check if it allows two upvotes from the same IP or not

Not caling you one. Just saying this is as good a way to get a nice test for how easy Mario is to rally as any other. We can't let him lose here. Let's make our efforts count!

I like how rallying is suddenly considered to be totally abominable by statheads just because Mario is the victim. Half of you couldn't get enough of it when FF characters were in danger. This is great.

Based on normal trends, Vivi wins today 52/48 over Mario.

Vivi's current percentage is inflated through rallying, so those trends likely won't hold up. But either way, it looks favorable to him at this point. And Ganondorf is absolutely killing Mario here.

Rallying was killing this contest already and now it's even deader. This is just stupid. It's all luck based on who can get the right rally where now.

Maybe I'll come back next contest if Allen puts the poll on every page so at least it's mildly representative of actual GameFAQs opinion before the rallies hit.

I have a feeling these rallies are being set up to knock out certain characters in order to give L-Block a more favorable path to the finals.
