Another example of how these contests have become a joke.

Vivi daring to slap Mario in the face and attempting to knock him down?

No, I know that it's likely. BUT I DON'T CARE

SQUALL TO THE FINAL NINE BABY

WE'RE DOING THIS


I feel sorry for Leonhart now, because now when people think about Squall fanaticism, they're going to associate him with Kanz.


Leon is the face of FF8 fans the world over, that ain't gonna happen.

(I did my homework for the next match though. Some of the game mixes I've found for a playlist are the truth, man. So good.)

The rally seems to be relatively smaller compared to yesterday and not nearly as lopsided. Mario is still laying a giant egg here. It happens, and he doesn't really have an excuse.

The big rally yesterday was loaded more at the end of the match, not the front. This match could have more than that match now but end up lower than it by the end

There's significant rallying attempts on both sides. Yesterday was completely one-sided in favor of L-Block. It makes sense that today would be a higher votal match, especially considering that the average strength of the entities here is higher than yesterday as well.

It's a combination of LFF and GameFAQs regulars clearly grabbing on to a potentially huge upset after the initial rallies made it much closer than it would've been otherwise!

Hey, you didn't say it had to be a good excuse.

This match hasn't really changed my view on Mario's strength. 53% on Crono, 47% on Snake (well 47% on 2010 Snake, Snake may have boosted this year). And Samus > Mario indirectly, ever since 2008.

Like I've said, there doesn't even seem to be much of a rally anymore. Mario and Vivi's vote totals have been both consistent and at a normal amount for a while now. By the time this match is over, it might look like the rallies only slightly favored Vivi, and only in the first few hours.

...THIRTY-TWO VOTE LEAD FOR VIVI???

Is the mage suddenly getting a huge rally out of nowhere? I guess this match isn't even half-over yet but I gotta go to bed soon, rats.

It's in the #1 and #2 slot for popularity on the site so I would assume so, the game broke some records for simultaneous connections in a japanese game as well.

We've seen entities on the most popular games list bomb way too many times to think it means much.

Maybe it is doing something here though, since Vivi is actually decently strong.

In fact, this match is only 2000 votes ahead of the Luigi/Big Boss match, which can be easily explained by this match being closer, more unexpected, and much higher-profile. If there's any evidence of a serious rally, I've yet to see it.

Pretty much, and I love the plumber.

I'd still rather he go out in a fantastic upset than limp on to the next round and put up another s***ty performance against whoever meets him there.

The rally is probably something like 1200 Vivi and 800 Mario. This match would have been close with no rally.

the whole premise of FFXIV is around very generic FF lore, (chocobos, moogles, crystals) etc. I don't think any one character would soak up the benefits from that more than Vivi. He embodies an awful lot of classic FF that the game with the current biggest draw to the site represents.

A topic on 4chan doesn't mean anything. Anyone can post a topic anywhere, it doesn't mean it has to take off. Based on their vote totals and voting patterns, yes, there's probably a rally, but it's not nearly as big or Vivi-favored as people are thinking.

If you want the evidence of a *real* big rally, this is the image tracker from the L-Block reddit thread last night:

This is nowhere close. If Vivi starts blowing away Mario this evening it'll be different, but this match has been close all day.

That only started in the last hour of the poll, Auron was damn lucky the match ended when it did.
