VeryInsane posted... If Link wins, I wonder if he will get a giant amount of anti-votes later similar to what happened after Sephiroth/Missingno. if anything, all the reddit people leave and Link gets STRONGER after this |
VeryInsane posted... If Link wins, I wonder if he will get a giant amount of anti-votes later similar to what happened after Sephiroth/Missingno. No question that he will. This will be worse than missingno though. Hell, L-block could get a giant boost like in 2007. |
I
think this has kind of cooled the Link hate for a while. It's like
impossible to be a fan of these contests and not feel something akin to
allegiance for him after everything that's happened in the course of
this match. It might cool by the finals, but I wouldn't be surprised if
it takes until next contest. --- Ace Detective for Hire http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/8528/secretariat.gif |
1337gamerpr0 posted... VeryInsane posted...If Link wins, I wonder if he will get a giant amount of anti-votes later similar to what happened after Sephiroth/Missingno. Well I don't see how they could gather to anti vote him. They wouldn't even have an excuse like "Draven is in the poll" to put up an anti rally. |
3108 is the biggest comeback of all time. Link is currently at 3096, so unless something goes horribly wrong, he's got this record next update. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
What match was 3108? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
so
i just asked an acquaintance of mine who has experience with DDoSing
about potential vote stuffing. he said that it would be a good bit more
complicated to vote stuff then to DDoS, based on the 1 vote per IP. --- "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion"Always remember "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
Can't believe Link is powering back even through DDoS. But yeah...that was easily 1500 votes lost during that slowdown, as a conservative estimate based on what Link was doing. If we assume that 500 of those people are voting now, that's 1000 votes lost. Which could be HUGE depending on what things look like at 8pm EST, the time when night voting comes into play again. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
UltimaterializerX posted... What match was 3108? Duck Hunt's comeback against Donkey Kong. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Shattered that barrier, Link gives no f***s. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
And Link breaks 3000! --- "The world's made up of numbers. Do the math and you'll find your desired solution." -Sho Minamimoto |
3000 vote barrier just got Light-Arrow'd --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
So me and Jmast are going to enjoy being 1 and 2 in the oracle today <_____<. --- And I would do anything for bets, but I won't do that! No I won't do that! I am Sir Chris, the Knight that says NICK!!! |
Under 3000. I'm still a bit uneasy about the intake Draven is maintaining. --- 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 will definitely be stronger after this match, he's gonna curb-stomp everyone in the later rounds. Sballen, good luck thinking of more formats/ways to dethrone him, i don't think we will ever see Link losing again in our lifetime. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
Largest successful comeback though, is Draven > Jak, right? Or Sonic > Crono? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
/3000 --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Wow I hadn't checked the map since last night. Link is slaughtering Draven in America. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Rigging
the contest for Link to lose was a dumb idea on Bacon's part. Take him
out if you don't want him to mess with the contests so much or put him
in as the secret final boss for the champion to take on. 1v1 24 hour
contests (at least from R2 on) are just so much better. Look at this match if you needed any more proof. What if Link had a legitimate anchor holding him down (sorry, Shepard) and it was only a 12 hour night match? --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
It's not a comeback if you don't win. I can't believe I'm watching a match where Link is losing, and HOPING he wins. I mean, it's Link people. Think about that. Think about the last 10 years. He is essentially our contest god, and the people have lost faith in him in recent years. Bring the faith back, Link FTW. |
So Link slashed 3000 votes in 4.5 hours, with a DDoS in the middle that probably delayed it by 45 min or so. Most unlikely sentence in contest history?? THIS MATCH. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
MegatokyoEd posted... Wow I hadn't checked the map since last night. And Draven still with the 10% lead in California. California must really love their LoL --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
wg64Z posted... It's not a comeback if you don't win. Hahaha I know it's such an amazing feeling. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
We just needed to manufacture a bigger villain than Link --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (is also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
COME ON LINK! Use the Triforce. --- 2011 Rivalry Rumble Guru Champion 4) Yuri Lowell to win the 2013 contest =) First victims: 15)Ryu and 24) Face McShooty |
I'm
too spoiled by 12 hour matches to ever hope for the 24-hour format
(especially 1v1) to return. The 2005 and 2006 contests, which were our
last of the 24-hour, 1v1 format, were simply a step below 2010 in terms
of enjoyment. 2010 was easily the best contest year ever, and I think
the format had a large part to play in that. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
So, next round who's the most likely to receive more Link anti-votes? Sonic, or Sephiroth? Unless Bowser, Mewtwo, Kirby, or Big Boss somehow wind up there, because this contest is weird as hell. --- Currently playing: Divekick |
Big Bob posted... So, next round who's the most likely to receive more Link anti-votes? Sonic, or Sephiroth? If Mewtwo or Kirby are there, I'll be voting them over Link. I don't think Link's strength will carry over after this. |
I
know everyone is ecstatic about the Link comeback right now, but
Draven's votes are slowly starting to rise to good enough levels to
stall Link the rest of the match. |
oh, are we still on that Kirby > Sephiroth thing because the last time people thought Kirby would beat a NNer, lol --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (is also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Down time was from 12:21 to 13:49 or something Downtown was for 90 minutes more or lose Using 11:16-12:16 as data,Link got 2323 votes,about 194 per 5 minutes (update) and 39 per minute Using 12:22-13:26 as data,Link got 489 votes,about 38 per 5 minutes,8 per minute We are talking about 2500 "lost votes" for Link if my calculactions are on track Using the same calculation for Draven,he got about 1600 "lost votes" This means Link currently is supposed to be 2000 votes behind,not 2900... Waiting for someone to calculate it better but this is the general direction |
that update was mediocre --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Yea Link might not have enough to complete the comeback. He's slowing down. --- People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. ~ Rogers Hornsby |
The best result would be Draven winning by less than 500 votes or so. And then the contest continues on like normal. Can you imagine. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Yeah, Draven is obviously at "much higher than anything he was ever putting up for a long time" votal intakes. This guy was consistently in the 120-130 range even with the rally topics up. And fell under a 100 per when they went away! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Sephiroth
gets the bulk of Link anti-voting as Sonic gets SFFed to all hell. If
he can make it. Won't make a difference considering how weak he is now.
Sephiroth 2k3 could do it I guess. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Draven stuffer is back then |
Two things: First, Draven's vote totals are highly unusual, it looks like he still has a rally when he doesn't. Second, without the DDoS Link probably would have been within 1700 of Draven at the point it ended. If this gets below that Link has won. Basically, Draven is hyper suspicious right now. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Then00bAvenger posted... The best result would be Draven winning by less than 500 votes or so. "The results of Link/Commander Shepard/Draven are accurate. Next." --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (is also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Nanis23 posted... Down time was from 12:21 to 13:49 or something That sounds about right. I was guessing 1000 but those numbers seem pretty reliable --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Then00bAvenger posted... The best result would be Draven winning by less than 500 votes or so. I can imagine. That would be great Frankly the worst part of the whole ddos/site down thing was that I couldn't watch all of the morons on both sides continue to go at it. --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
I'm not confident here, but this is an impressive job by Link, win or not. |
Yeah,
if we want to go back to the "Draven is stuffed" conversation... Draven
coming out of the site outage at higher levels than he was before it
when supposedly the rallies are down... --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
he still has a rally. i'm not sure why you'd think he doesn't. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
Fr0zoN posted... Draven stuffer is back then Yup. I just read how the Reddit rally topic was deleted. Yet Draven went from going even with Shepard to doubling and tripling him after the site came back online. There can be little doubt now that this is stuffing happening, right now. Pretty much absolute proof here. People owe Lopen apologies! They labeled him a "conspiracy theorist" and other such bullcrap. Good job Lopen on your terrific analysis. Internet high five ^ ! --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
DDoS attack is great evidence for vote stuffing in X/Ryu. --- Fast Falcon ate my bracket for dinner in the guru contest. |
I
was about to call the match for Link based on the ASV starting in 20
minutes... but it's Labor Day, isn't it? This is Link's peak. If that DDoS killed him that'd be something else. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I still can't believe the site got attacked. It's just so hilariously pathetic. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
I will never,ever,EVER consider any match Draven was/will be legitimate until Allen confirms if there was a DDoS or not Because dealing with DDoSers=dealing with stuffers |
