Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1135

#151 | KanzarisKelshen | Posted 8/29/2013 9:45:15 AM | message detail
Oh c'mon guys, quit whining about it already. The new contest era became official weeks ago. It's happened already, and it can't be undone now. You can't put the genie back in the bottle, so we may as well roll with the changes and see what we can do to make the contests better from now. This is a great match! Mario's trailing behind now, but it doesn't matter because it's a great practice run for future matches. Let's get into this one and enjoy it as much as we can!

No matter if Mario is your favorite character and you hate FF you have to agree that this match is way too awesome!

I think this is a big reality check at the least for those people who insisted that Mario would get so many votes from the Draven ralliers.

Though if the bonus poll is going to be between the three strongest losers, I kind of don't want Mario to lose. He'd ruin it!

Oh god

It's going to be L-Block/Red/Charizard in the semis.

I'm dying.


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.


Go what you're saying is we're straight-up becoming the GameSpot contests.


I love how we used to mock GameSpot contests because we had a sense of immunity to rallies and stuffing.

And now Vivi is threatening freakin' Mario.

Keep it up Vivi! Don't test the Mario clutch. Use the power of rallying and TRENDS to give yourself a 3000 vote lead. No chance of shenanigans.


Trends?
I think it's time we learn of /v/ and reddit trends
So um..what /v/ time favors Mario the most?
#168 | tgs2 | Posted 8/29/2013 9:47:52 AM | message detail
Guess the Bonus poll can safely change to MMX/Mario/Crono now if Vivi can win.

At least there's an argument of Mario crushing Vivi 1v1 because of Ganondorf leeching him like crazy.

I can't get this crying over a rally now
Against Draven rally,yeah..he has a unfair advatange
But know what,you can rally Mario just as well you can rally Vivi...even better
Stop crying


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.


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


Except only a few matches were like that...

And like I said, I don't care if rallies are screwing over my favourite characters. I've never seen a reason to care if thousands of random people disagree with my taste. What bothers me is how they invalidate the time and thought I (and many others, I'm sure) put into the oracle/betting/etc by essentially randomising the results.

If it's the 3 strongest losers......

Mario/Crono/MMX

Oh wow. YES. Okay, Mario HAS to lose this match now. This is too good.

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.


I can't speak for the rest of the statheads, but as far as I'm concerned, this is amazing.

And MMX will be leeching Mario a bit. Which is a tad unfortunate, but then again, I don't think Crono can match Mario in a 1v1 match. If MMX LFF can give us a close match, I guess complete legitimacy is an okay price for that.

That's why MMX is perfect for this!

This could be the one good thing rallies give us!

you know. as long as they don't ruin the match itself
