There are a *lot* of /v/ rally threads springing up, but they're getting reported and taken down almost just as fast. I don't see how this keeps up unless he's got another way to get intake.

Someone's rallying Kirby. What a second wind here. That's okay, I've got a great post to make when Seph retakes the lead to mark the death of GameFAQs (not LoL) rallying and upset fever on GameFAQs.

Big Boss is holding his position pretty well in spite of the spike, as opposed to Sephiroth's slight hemorrhaging.

Nahhhhh, we clearly saw the site doesn't care if rallies are not a thing given Sonic/Mewtwo's pathetic votals. That match convinced me that if people aren't bringing the A game to the matches they care about, no one will show up until Allen changes a lot of things.

Because of you. Because Draven and SBAllen (really more Allen than Draven- can't blame reddit for bringing their A game, and we beat them back) crushed the spirit of this site. It will be so deliciously ironic when you will have wrought the destruction of Mario, Squall, and GameFAQs rallies.

If Sephiroth had the loli fanbase in his corner he'd be dominating this. He's Chokeroth, plain and simple.

Considering I was half the reason those rallies sprung up in the first place, sorry, but I doubt it! Plus, Squall is doomed anyway. He doesn't have a hope of beating Red, except the one I can give him by cheering for him. You can't demoralize me by telling me that the expected result will happen!

Seph *does* need to not fall too far behind considering he's getting cut by Big Boss. Probably the rally spillover benefiting BB more (/v/ loves their Naked Snake), but our s***ty votals are gonna bite him in the ass if he's not careful.

Nonsense. I don't control 4chan. What the actual trolls aiming to squeeze butthurt out of the board do is none of my business, except when I can help crush them. Face it Sox, not even the font of all the world's evils was responsible for the very first rally of the contest (AKA Waluigi keeping it close to Raiden)!

only because she's so flat it didn't work. it's only natural the stuffing was caught, anyone could tell.
Sephiroth on the other hand should be better off and more capable to hide better with his armor and clothes...!

Except when 4chan struck first and super hard, at that. Or do you really think Waluigi is naturally close to Draven after what we saw from L-Block?

Oh hey guys, look what I just found:

Message From KamikazePotato on 09/23/2011

Just letting you know that it is not a joke/invalid nomination. We're using the established game of Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden, where Charles Barkley is the main character and Michael Jordan is a recurring antagonist. The game and the characters in it fit all the rules of the contest, as well as the spirit.


Message From GameFAQs on 09/26/2011

Wouldn't really call them "historical characters"


Message From KamikazePotato on 09/26/2011

I think might be confused about what kind of game Shut Up and Jam Gaiden is? It's not a normal game. Charles Barkley has magic basketball powers and is traveling a post-apocalyptic world that was destroyed by a chaos dunk. Michael Jordan is the agent of an oppressive government, working to stop Barkley at every turn. They aren't just the Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan lifted from a random sports games - they're basically entirely different characters, like how games like Castlevania and Dynasty Warriors take generous liberties with Dracula and Lu Bu.

I won't press the issue again after this if it still gets shot down, but they really do fit all the rules of the contest. In a weird sort of way, but yeah.

Message From GameFAQs on 09/26/2011

I know the game - but entries like that lead to two possibilities: 1) It gets almost no votes, and goes out in the first round despite all the nominations, while keeping a better entry off the bracket, or 2) it becomes a /b/ rally point, winning and knocking out more popular entries, but alienating the majority of voters and leading to less people being interested in the contest (See: the latest GameSpot contest).

...
There are no words.
