LOL Sanic


What's up with all of these people referring to Sonic as "Sanic" instead?

Oh and don't forget the same people crying about Draven are rallying Mewtwo right now, that doesn't hurt.

We saw this coming, by the way, people.

1. Sonic sucked in every multiway match he's ever had, period.
2. Sonic overlaps hard with Nintendo, and is liable to be hurt by Bowser.
3. Mewtwo is Pokemon, and liable to resist Bowser's influence much more than Sonic.
4. Sonic did badly in 2010, letting Kirby crack 45% on him, only looking okay against Ganondorf due to the picture screwjob, and getting SFFed by Link to look almost as bad as Luigi.

This is the writing on the wall coming to fruition for Sonic.

Otherwise...we'll see.

Mewtwo holding up well. Almost at 400 votes over.

I've made my opinion on Mewtwo winning this match well known in the topic. That I didn't deign to warn you is just a bonus.

I guess I'm now supporting L-Block to win the contest. But that wouldn't redeem this. Not even close. It's one thing to win with rallying, even 50,000 rallied votes. A DDOS attack plus blatant stuffing- this is just.......unbelievable.

Even if Sonic doesn't win, I'm not really gonna be mad about it. I like Mewtwo a lot, so I wouldn't mind him winning. In fact, I'm listening to his theme suite right now. Amazing track, IMO.

a Vivi victory over draven in the finals is literally the only thing that can redeem these results in my eyes

People really put that much stock in Sonic failing to double a dude who put up less percentage against Layton than Isaac? That result made him look like Luigi with the most favorable comparisons for Barret, and hilariously they put up similar numbers against Link in 2010.

Even though, Bowser isn't my favorite Nintendo villain, that being Ganondorf, I can understand why people would love him as well.

Mewtwo has never shown real strength before this year, and in the first match he was against zero and chester F***ing Chester who could not even break 1K votes. I mean I am so that is unbelievable. And in the second one he probably won due to PICTURE SABOTAGE. There was no real way to gauge his real strength especially after what Zelda did to Charizard.

Oh Mewtwo's not anything special, not compared to the rest of the Pokemon.

But can you really be surprised? Auron's already done this to Sonic. Kirby did this to Sonic.

It did not matter who won the match to me. Link would've helped my main bracket ' draven my expert. So far behind in both neither matter. Just wanted to say how bad this match made draven look. We saw earlier today that unrallied draven is about equal to Shepard. And that's after he earned joke status in round two. The character to possibly beat the king always gains strength as they go. Ex. L block. So unrallied draven about equal to Shepard. So he gained about forty thousand rallied votes. How many fodder characters would beat link with forty thousand free votes. I'd say alot.

Read Allen's downtime topic and the last 4 stats topics. The site got hacked and we used pro wrestlers to rally for Link. It's worth your time.


A rundown:
Draven jumps out to a 6000 vote lead overnight, mostly on the back of r/lol.
Drama occurred involving reddit moderators.
Link slices 2000 votes off the lead before the site goes down for an hour and a half. Prior to the site going down Link was cutting at a pace of over 950 votes per hour. SBAllen claimed the downtime was coincidental and no stuffing was occurring.
Link got the lead down to 2900 with just under 10 hours to go until a rally was posted on the official LoL forums with the topic creator giving out free Riot Points if Draven won. This pushed the lead back to just over 5000 votes.
At some point while this was going on, SBAllen posted in the stat topic, fed up with all the criticism/flaming, and left for the night.
Link went back to cutting with about 5 hours to go and a 5000 vote deficit.
Pro Wrestler Trent Barretta tweeted asking voters to vote for Link.
Draven stalled just enough in the final hours to halt Link's comeback 750 votes short.
