Ugh too bad about that "site crash". Since it happened right in the middle of a massive Link rally who knows where the poll would be if that didn't happen.

15~mins left and Draven has no hope of reaching his R2 votals. Those were seriously insane compared to this.

So... We need to find a new character to latch onto to win the whole thing just like with GOTD with Majora's Mask.

Who would be the best canidate? L-Block? Snake?

It's a shame we're so late in the contest, otherwise we'd just have you make an image for Draven and we'd be set.

At this point it feels like Link is only making it closer so the match can go down as that one match he could have certainly won if it wasn't for the downtime (coincidental or not).


Cena never loses cleanly!


Well, that's not entirely true, but Draven certainly is no Daniel Bryan.

He's more of a Great Khali.

It is hard to know the true measure of a man in victory. Only in defeat is his steel measured in full.

Link hasn't dropped a god damn inch since 2007 and 2008.


This is the stats topic, not the wishful thinking topic.

Are there any Draven pics that could make him lose votes? I remember his round 1 pic got changed from something which cause a lot of whining or something along those lines.

Which is odd, because that was a 12-hour nighttime match, as opposed to this 24-hour match.

Well maybe Cloud or Snake will have a chance after all.

I was seriously considering going Mewtwo>Sonic>Bowser, but between Mewtwo's 2010 xstat performance and Bowser getting leeched by Shadow the Hedgehog back in 2007:

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=2898&num=4

Not to mention Ganondorf's showing of totally collapsing in the face of Nintendo elite, I'm betting on Sonic holding up well enough to keep Mewtwo in second place, while Bowser gets sapped down to third.

If I calculated this correctly, using a constant MMX and leaving Draven constant between rounds 2 and 3, Link in this match would have beaten 2010 Link 72-28.

I don't think tomorrow would have been any better either, because chances are we would have tweeter her during her Smackdown segment or something.

If anything, the Baretta thing was good timing because it hit when wrestling fans were the most active on social media.

If Draven has the same proportional dropoff next round, a not Link character could theoretically beat him.

But they'll all be saddled with an anchor. Not feasible.

I was wondering what would happen if Link won; if the Reddit people would be so mad that their "trolling attempt" didn't work that they would anti-vote rally every other character against Link.

Now we'll never know.

You know what else is insane here? If this match is any day but Labor Day, Link wins. If it's a random Monday the admins notice the site being down a heck of a lot sooner and the downtime is 5-10 minutes, not 90.

Didn't realize Allen was still online...

Come on, Allen, give us the 90 min. extension! It may not be the same as the hour he lost, but it would be a heck of a lot more fair than ending it short!

Just in case it hasn't been said yet. Love him or hate him, you gotta give respect to Link for putting up one hell of a fight. Even he didn't win, he's still a winner regardless of a contest match. Kudos, Link.
