Also since people will probably ask, we are indeed checking into the legitimacy of all incoming votes and so far, everything appears to be legit. - SBAllen

Wish we could still view the vote totals by country. This match has to have like, under 40% of its votes from North America. That's normally unthinkable.


40% is too low. Under 60% would be a better estimate. About 75% is what we normally get from North America.

I'm not a member of any of them, but there's got to be someone here who can contact zelda.com or even nintendo.com. One rally from them on a site or the Facebook page could give Link a chance again.

On a separate note, can we ask Allen where the Draven votes are coming from now? There's no way 150 people are seeing that reddit topic every 5 minutes. If they're still coming from reddit, that should be pretty solid proof to look for cheating.

Hmm...interesting.

I was thinking something in keeping with the horror director theme.

What about James Wan? The guy who directed the Saw and The Conjuring movies.

Now that I look at the map, there's definitely something fishy going on here. Link is winning in the USA by a very comfortable margin and that's normally where most of the votes come from. Canada also favors Link and while Draven has England, it's not by a huge margin. It's clear that Draven is getting most of his strength from countries that normally have crappy representation in these contests.

Too tired to make it through this stallfest. It was different when Link was cutting triple digits easily.

Maybe Link will go on a rampage while I'm gone to make me regret leaving!

There's been no hope since Wes Draven starting slapping 280 vote updates for Draven after the DDOS attack.

Since then it's just been about the comedy.

Maybe Luster can give us the math on the extra votes by country.

If he only has European strength then he might fall apart when Europe goes to sleep. Which..... is about now

Not the only way. Link is beating Draven fairly easily in the US, and his %age there has been rising ever since the beginning. If Draven is legit atm (highly unlikely), then Link can start getting his necessary 70-vote cuts once Europe goes to sleep.

This.

Draven is much stronger in Europe than in NA (for some reason, I guess Europeans don't like good games) so once they go to sleep Link should have an easier time.

You don't get legit cuts of 100 votes per update without shenanigans.
