SubDeity posted... Why would nobody play LOL in Queensland but they play it in all the other provinces? It's a big province with millions of people and several large cities. It doesn't make sense for Draven to absolutely not exist. I'm guessing it also doesn't make sense for Queensland to produce hundreds of votes. Australia have STATES not Provinces. And a couple Territories. --- The Hardcore Kid |
Just looked at the Geolocation for Australia. XD Does anyone (Luster?) have any tracking on that somehow to determine when that happened? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

GloriousSweater posted... The ONLY real blip Pokemon has had this contest was Charizard's 50/50 with Zelda, and as Link has just demonstrated, that can very likely be attributed to LoZ's grittiness and unwillingness to lose to damn near anything. Mewtwo is cleaning Bowser's clock here and there is very little reason to presume Charizard or Blastoise wouldn't be doing the same in his place. It's unreasonable to think that "Mewtwo's boosted" and close the book there. All of Pokemon has boosted - in terms of both intrinsic strength and the Nintendo SFF ladder. Blue on Nathan Drake was questionable performance |
xp1337 posted... Just looked at the Geolocation for Australia. I don't know how that happened. I guess Queensland got a lot more votes for Draven, but they were somehow counted towards votes from another province. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Blue on Nathan wasn't too bad when you consider him to be about as strong as Fox. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/171 Today's Pick: Sonic |
Mewtwo got crushed by ganondorf. Charizard almost lost to zelda. So in pokemon terms... Mario series using sff is not very effective. Zelda series using sff is super effective. This would explain it. Just assume a 5-10% swap. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake. I already have something that tells me if I'm too drunk when I pee on it: My friends. - Colbert. |
It must be annoying to be Sonic fan now After yesterday match that Link was being able to come back from 6000 votes behind,this 2600 lead Mewtwo got doesn't look so impossible to overcome,and with every Sonic cut im feeling a little..afraid Max paranoia |
Nanis23 posted... It must be annoying to be Sonic fan now nah, time for Mewtwo to get rallied like crazy and end up with over 70k votes BELIEVE |
Nanis23 posted... It must be annoying to be Sonic fan now Is Sonic actually cutting? --- http://i.imgur.com/CQVaT6Xl.jpg |
eaglesarebeasts posted... Nanis23 posted...It must be annoying to be Sonic fan now Not really, he's been stalling Mewtwo for about an hour though. --- ~War~ |
Nanis23 posted... It's funny how Wylvane "rally for Mewtwo" topic was basically a joke he made but I totally believed in it and with every match that "joke post" looks more and more legit I kinda believed in it! Else I wouldn't have helped in keeping it bumped! And I think Mewtwo has a solid shot if Sephiroth is in the poll with him, as I doubt anyone will side with Sephiroth over Mewtwo even without Draven there. Big Boss may leech MGS-fan votes since he's not an anti-vote target, and Kirby's stand-out factor may have him competing with Mewtwo for appeal. And yeah, Mewtwo boosting while Charizard falls wouldn't make any sense. But then there's a lot about this contest that doesn't make any sense, and right now everything says that Mewtwo is much stronger now, while Charizard has yet to prove himself this contest. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
eaglesarebeasts posted... Nanis23 posted...It must be annoying to be Sonic fan now He had a few cuts here and there with the biggest one being 20 votes But...unless there are goings to be a massive change of trends,he won't win this Oh god trends I can't believe I say this word |
Sonic
has no chance. Link broke the all-time comeback record twice
yesterday. This match is just normalcy, and there are neither big trend
shifts between these characters nor the votals to support a 2600 vote
comeback. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
charmander6000 posted... Blue on Nathan wasn't too bad when you consider him to be about as strong as Fox. Mayhaps, but I can't help but feel Fox would've done better than that on someone who struggled with Pac-Man... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

You
can't come back on a character whose trends are damn near identical to
yours. Sonic will be lucky to shave off any net votes at all. Mewtwo could give Draven a run (though I highly doubt he wins), though he'll be made to look like fodder if Kirby comes out of tomorrow's match. Pokemon gets leeched with the best of them against an independent entity. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
And of course, that Sonic
is at the ass-end of the Noble Nine today, not Crono.
Crono/Pikachu/Magus and Mario/Crono/X are both worlds more impressive
than this turd. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Seeing Mewtwo beat Sonic is more saddening than watching Link lose to Draven. Silly stuff. --- "Anyone may claim that he will act in the direst times, yet only a brave man acts in times great and small." Fizz - Zyra - Kat |

Crono/Pikachu/Magus and Mario/Crono/X are both worlds more impressive than this turd. Sonic hasn't beaten a Noble Niner since Crono in 2006.

Sonic
has been the bottom of the Noble Nine since 2008. I don't know why you
people decided to declare Crono that just because he lost to Missingno
in 2010! By the way, Crono got 45,000 votes against Missingno in 12 hours in 2010. Draven got 54,000 votes yesterday in 22.5. Our votals nowadays really really suck. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
I
think next round we are going to see the biggest case "revenge votes"
ever since Sephiroth 2010 (reading 2010 PCA,it seems like it was
generally accepted "revenge votes" is a real thing) 90% of Link supporters will vote for whatever character has the best chance against Draven,just because Draven beat Link I also think some people that didn't vote for Link BUT believe the downtime wasn't fair will also anti-vote Draven ...The problem is knowing which character "stands the best chance against Draven" Sephiroth is anti voted hard as well,but he also can be considered stronger than Mewtwo and will draw those votes... So I really got no idea which character is the best character for the next Draven match |
If Kirby/Sephiroth/Big Boss looks to have the best shot of upending Draven, I'm voting Kirby/Sephiroth/Big Boss. If Mewtwo looks to have the best shot of upending Draven, I'm voting Draven. The System Works...! yes Mewtwo advancing would win Snake the contest but it's the PRINCIPLE --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
It's the only reason why Draven can win, had we seen round 2 Draven he would be able to win in other contests. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/171 Today's Pick: Sonic |
I'm
just going to vote for Sephiroth, my favorite. I don't really care
which one of these characters wins. Link is the real winner of the
contest, unless one of them does something that shows they could have
beaten him. If the Draven stuffers/ralliers stop, he could lose. If not, he will win. L-Block has maybe an outside shot, but that's just about it. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
If
you consider Sonic a Mario character which gamefaqs seems to then this
isn't weird at all. Bowser wouldn't be this low without something
crushing him and it certainly isn't Mewtwo unless you consider Phoenix
Wright to be a beast. Mewtwo wouldn't beat Sonic 1v1 and Crono is nowhere near him, I'd probably take Mewtwo over Crono 1v1. |
The
other thing, Draven probably had what, 1-2K GFAQs votes because people
were sick of Link. Doesn't mean they actually want Draven to win the
contest. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A. Scalia |
And
yeah I'll stick Crono firmly above Sonic now. Mega Man I'll have to see
but probably not thanks to the SSB4 boost. Maybe Crono can beat X 1v1?
That's an interesting match. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Sonic is getting murdered by bowser here, so that's not really fair. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake. I already have something that tells me if I'm too drunk when I pee on it: My friends. - Colbert. |

Bowser wouldn't be this low without something crushing him and it certainly isn't Mewtwo unless you consider Phoenix Wright to be a beast. And Crono got stuck in a day match with an even worse anchor dragging him down (Sonic/Bowser overlap is nothing like Crono/Magus). Still managed to look more impressive than this turd. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Having to rely on outside rallying just to boost our vote totals to early 2010 levels is really disappointing. We would have broken the all-time record if we were getting 2008 level vote totals combined with all of the outside rallying. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
CT characters did look pretty decent in their first round matches Pikachu is just a world-beater this year tbqh --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
IngmarBirdman posted... The other thing, Draven probably had what, 1-2K GFAQs votes because people were sick of Link. Doesn't mean they actually want Draven to win the contest. Significantly more than that. At Link's peak performances on Draven, when there were no rallies incoming, he was only able to come shy of doubling him regularly. Bandwagon anti-votes against a threatened Link are enough to make a character who is worth NOTHING avoid the doubling against Link. That's more than some Noble Niners have managed. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Pikachu gonna split evenly with Blue and almost beta Sora. Gonna lose to that Squirtle can beat Snake. Mewtwo/Squirtle/Charizard finals let's go. --- ~War~ |
Link
obviously would have also won easily yesterday if our votals hadn't
been run into the ground. Rallies and downtime be damned. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Anyone read LoL reddit comments to see how they react to this match and what can it say about the next round? Rallies were shot down in the LoL subreddit a few times and today a /v/ rally for Sonic was deleted as well It seems like the rallies went out of hand and it made people annoyed at them - making mods start deleting rally topics This is also going to be the fourth Draven match and the fourth rally,maybe LoL fans won't mind it too much anymore? Besides,beating Link was the true achievment and winning the contest is a secondary thing? Who knows |

Bowser wouldn't be this low without something crushing him and it certainly isn't Mewtwo unless you consider Phoenix Wright to be a beast. A worse anchor is exactly the problem. The worst match up is the one where your opponent has his own strength too, not the one where he drops dead in the water. If sonic could do to bowser what crono does to magus, he'd be winning. Instead he's getting jack and mewtwo is rolling along. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake. I already have something that tells me if I'm too drunk when I pee on it: My friends. - Colbert. |

Hmmm... IMO, I can't justify Crono above Sonic enough to have any confidence in taking Crono, knowing that the guy's become all but irrelevant. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

Link, Samus, and Snake might be the only NNers to come out of this NOT lookin' like hot ass --- 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 |
Karma Hunter posted... IngmarBirdman posted...The other thing, Draven probably had what, 1-2K GFAQs votes because people were sick of Link. Doesn't mean they actually want Draven to win the contest. Draven got a 57 vote update and a 69 before the downtime It was kinda embarrassing |
Nanis23 posted... Anyone read LoL reddit comments to see how they react to this match and what can it say about the next round? huh that "make rallies all the time" strategy might actually be effective! (btw, try to make a rally for Draven's next match 6-12 hours before it actually starts, that way it'll fizzle out by the time it actually begins) |
Nanis23 posted... Karma Hunter posted...IngmarBirdman posted...The other thing, Draven probably had what, 1-2K GFAQs votes because people were sick of Link. Doesn't mean they actually want Draven to win the contest. Yeah, at his worst obviously he did worse and Link did better, because Draven's natural strength is that of turbofodder. But even in his depowered form he was beating up on Shepard for the most part and regularly avoiding the doubling against Link. For turbofodder to do that means that Link is getting anti-voted ridiculously hard these days. Which is why the theory that Link hasn't dropped is so out of whack. Not only did he drop, but anti-votes cost him the match. Welcome to Cloud City, Link! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... imho the Rivalry Rumble tanking votals killed Link against Draven Vote totals were already declining before we had the Rivalry Rumble. GOTD had like 27% less votes than the Character Battle that happened earlier in the year. I think Rivalry Rumble's horrible vote totals can't be blamed on the contest format, but rather the natural decline instead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I'm
still in awe of Mewtwo beasting here. I guess 3-ways is playing a huge
role ... Pokémon seems to be something a lot of folks either love or
hate, so in this format the haters split votes against it. It's no guarantee but I have the Snake / Cloud / Pikachu matchup in my bracket and now I really want to see that happen. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets.

You think Pikachu can escape Pikachu/Sora/Blue while Cloud beats Squirtle??? ...well, alright I guess. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Crono scored 47% on Mario. That means he beats Sonic 1vs1. Unless you think that Mario is very weak now. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Safer_777 posted... Crono scored 47% on Mario. That means he beats Sonic 1vs1. Unless you think that Mario is very weak now. X was definitely hurting Mario in that match. By my estimates it should have been more like 55-45 Mario. Then again, that's probably *still* better than Sonic is worth on Mario indirectly, and that's before you realize Crono would rise to 46-47%+ in a 24 hour match. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
