At this point, Draven is slowing down quite a bit. This is a good sign for Link. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Man,
it would be really awesome to see Shepard consistently cutting a guy
who could be up 50,000 votes on him tomorrow if this rally dies off. --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |
Some more stall. Meh wanna watch this for 24 hours. Too bad I have my lesson in a few minutes. |
Draven has all night, it's going to be pretty ugly by morning --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/162 Today's Pick: Link |
It
isn't that complicated. Reddit rules say that you can't organize groups
to upvote your links and gain karma (they take their imaginary internet
points very, very seriously there), so the ones supporting Link that
are getting upvotes get removed. The conspiracy was to downvote the
Draven ones, which is also illegal under Reddit rules (and some of you
got accounts there banned for it), but they wouldn't remove the thread
because people are trying to downvote it. --- Official Iron Man of C&GN |
The
only way to shut down the league topic is to make a topic here asking
to upvote spam the reddit thread. They'll be forced to follow their
rules and close it. |
yeah
I think it's becoming increasingly obvious that Draven will simply run
out of votes in a 24 hour format. Link may drop off a bit, but by the
end I'm not going to be surprised if he ends up taking the lead --- http://i.imgur.com/6b2as3d.jpg http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/CaptainRockman.png |
creativename posted... Really can't believe people are giving up on Link already, after how impressive he's been here... And that's exactly what he did in round 2 --- "You are insects railing against the heavens. Your actions will change nothing." - Uhai, Fire Emblem 7 |

It'll
be pretty interesting to see what Link does once the Power Hour ends.
That's usually not a good time for him, but this isn't your average
match. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
Julian_Caesar posted... TheCodeisBosco posted...Whatever happens here, guys, just remember that Draven's victory is still not quite set in stone. That L-Block rally got truly absurd towards the end. They could absolutely overpower Draven with that if they started sooner. Especially since League of Legends seems like exactly the kind of game 4chan would hate with a passion. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
What I'm wondering is... At the end of the contest, how many Juliet Starlings will Chester be worth? --- Currently playing: Divekick |
You
know how it's really hard to win against a rallied character once it
gets close because they'll rally harder? And how rallies only really
show their full potential when someone threatens the lead? Yeah. We haven't even seen the best of what a Draven rally can do. Even if Link makes it to that point, actually taking the lead will be twice as hard as getting up there in the first place --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
LeonhartFour posted... It'll be pretty interesting to see what Link does once the Power Hour ends. That's usually not a good time for him, but this isn't your average match. It'll probably get rough. I expect that to be very Draven centric, but people have to remember Link's morning/day vote will be insane. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
There is NO good sign for Link. The dude pulled out 55k votes in 12 hours which means potentially he can get 100k votes in a 24 hour match. At most this website can offer 65k votes for Link, which simply won't be enough. |
OrangeCrush980 posted... creativename posted...Really can't believe people are giving up on Link already, after how impressive he's been here... orly? Because that was only a 12-hour poll. --- FFIXOwner Character Battle IX Bracket: 124/162 |
TheKoolAidShoto posted... Lead under a 1000 for the Power Hour Hell yeah :D --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
All that said, Link's still at a disadvantage because the amount of the lead plus Draven having rallies. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
LeonhartFour posted... It'll be pretty interesting to see what Link does once the Power Hour ends. That's usually not a good time for him, but this isn't your average match. Yeah, this match will not obey normal trends that we would expect of other matches in this contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
From: creativename | Posted: 9/2/2013 12:51:17 AM | #396 Really can't believe people are giving up on Link already, after how impressive he's been here... From: CP724 | Posted: 9/2/2013 12:49:01 AM | #387 True, but the rallies never stopped for one update in round 2, through the entire 12 hours from when they started even though draven was tripling both the other entrants. that's why aka because Draven will cheat --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
I
think the biggest problem for Link is that the percentage of votes
coming from the rally during the dead hours will be VERY high. The low
vote totals and Euro-centric demographic is already bad news for
Nintendo characters, but if Draven's intake remains consistent, it'll
get ugly. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |
Link is going to be ahead of Draven in about 30 minutes, with ease. He's picking up huge votes now that the Draven crap has settled. --- "Ya know?" Wakka FF X and X-2. |
creativename posted... Really can't believe people are giving up on Link already, after how impressive he's been here... I think the thing is that most believe he WILL sustain this rally for pretty much the entire match. And even if he didn't as soon as Link closed in, the rally would intensify again. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
So it looks like Kanz was, in fact, the one that started the Draven rally this time: http://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/1ljux7/everyone_is_voting_for_draven_on_gamefaqs_or/cc00xt9 (I'm assuming no one but Kanz would rally all three entrants) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
The march to 41%! too bad about the power hour though --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
That one was Link falling. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
LeonhartFour posted... It'll be pretty interesting to see what Link does once the Power Hour ends. That's usually not a good time for him, but this isn't your average match. Oh, Link is going to fail *hard* overnight. People will be jump ship on Link left and right. Only rats will be left aboard the ship. But again - the level of comeback Link is capable of here is of heretofore unheard of proportions. He could fall behind by 10,000 votes and still win handily. Again...Link in the day time will be pulling in monster, monster votes per update. And any sort of significant slowdown from the Draven rally puts this within Link's reach. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
All
this hype and craziness (he HAS been beating Link for an hour) could
have actually altered Draven's base strength around here. Even if
rallies were prevented, I'm not sure if "GameFAQs Draven" would get his
ass kicked by Chie next week. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |

Ssliasil posted... Link is going to be ahead of Draven in about 30 minutes, with ease. Lol. Not sure if srs. The worst has yet to come, prepare for the onslaught that is Reddit. --- The blue moon has risen! |
Strangely
enough, the amount of votes per update here are already falling behind
what the MMX and Ryu match got. That match managed over 1000 votes per
update until it was past the 2nd hour --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

My account is still Kanzaris. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
10k
sounds like enough to make me kinda step back! I do agree that people
will give up on it until morning when Link starts putting up some crazy
numbers. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
This is probably a weaker Draven. Right around here was when Draven took off scoring 14.5k votes in two hours. |
I'm impressed with just being over 40%. I'll take that as a modest victory. |
Then00bAvenger posted... Strangely enough, the amount of votes per update here are already falling behind what the MMX and Ryu match got. That match managed over 1000 votes per update until it was past the 2nd hour Draven's definitely being hindered by LoL not being down. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Oh,
no doubt this is a stronger Draven without the rally than the one we
saw in round 1. He was already stronger pre-rally in round 2. He was
doing better on Ryu in that first 10 minutes that he was doing on Jak. --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |

spooky96 posted... There is NO good sign for Link. Once again a matter of people forgetting that Link is already showing he's absorbing a good portion of that rally. If he wasn't he'd be getting doubled easily right now. So those "50K" numbers for Draven don't work out. Link is absorbing too many votes as compared to the 2nd round. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Even if rallies were prevented, I'm not sure if "GameFAQs Draven" would get his ass kicked by Chie next week. Probably, if only because he's now the guy that can beat Link. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Man that was a badass contest pic Just saw the one where Link has his shield raised against Draven and Shepard's all like "BUMP THIS IM RUNNING BETWEEN YOU GUYS LIKE A BADASS" --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Link really wants that 41%! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Link is just cannibalizing Shepard at this point. --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |
1000 vote lead denied 41% --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
LINK WILL NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN 47% ON DRAVEN --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Both are falling like rocks now. Rallying seems to be...dying down!? --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Oh Shepard...we had such dreams... --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (is also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Shepard getting hung out to dry now --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/162 Today's Pick: Link |
Draven's
base strength would be boosted, if nothing else, by bracket votes. Or
more specifically, people wanting to keep their expert challenge alive. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Link only back 2.5% in the US! Oh man, if Link can somehow take it over! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
