More threads popping up mean more stalls, but Sephiroth can probably weather it.

If Sephiroth advance,I just hope he won't be considered the "favorite" to compete with Draven and letting Mewtwo get crushed by the last-place-factor

Kirby got his 2nd wind. It always amazes me that a character can fight back like this after losing the lead so easily


Seems to coincide with the /v/ thread becoming more active...

Admittedly, the thread doesn't have a "rally" feel to it though. It just seems to adore Kirby. A lot.

I'm pretty sure it's just 1 guy talking to himself. Dont know if anyone else is even reading it.

What was the max lead for Kirby? Because if Sephiroth can't pull ahead by a lot now that USA is sleeping he loses for sure.

You realize the Night vote doesn't even really start until 3 am right? In about an hour, Sephiroth is gonna start pulling away. We're talking a bigger pull away than Squall made against Missingno. Just watch.

I am guessing Bacon wasn't in increase-site-traffic mode when he made that comment. I don't blame the guy for his decisions given what he has to work with, except the puzzling logic of not extending the match.

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

Sephiroth during TDZ could be pretty funny if Kirby drops off.

Here's hoping!

For Welkin to be under Chester, Mewtwo needs to do a little more than 52/48 Draven.

It's been about 3AM for most of this contest because it starts later during the summer and weekends. But a lot of schools started already, but practically all schools will have started by beginning of next week. Night vote should have started earlier than 3AM tonight, I think. This is just a rally-fueled effort by Kirby.

Kirby may be able to cling on a bit longer, but he'll still have to count on more intensified rallies or a radical trend shift to keep him in the game. And then there's Sephiroth's SNV...

...not really believing, but here's hoping he can do it for hilarious Draven curbstomping next round!

Kirby wins it seems. Sephiroth needs only a small rally to do it though. 4Chan is with Kirby so I guess we should go to the rival of Gamefaqs which is Reddit to do it right?

All Kirby needs is to run roughly even with Seph in the day and the rallies will push him over.

To be honest, there doesn't seem to be much of a rally anywhere.

There's one topic on /v/.

And it's... evolved? into purely discussion and appreciation.

Is Kirby actually doing this on his own merit?

Don't be dense, we're averaging over 150 votes an update in the dead zone, of course there's a rally. The fact that the thread creator is bumping it over and over again with faux discussion points so that its main purpose (getting people to see it and go to GameFAQs) doesn't change anything.

It's a really good rally thread actually. It's working because he's not spamming "go vote for Kirby" and things like that. We all know 4chan hates people telling them what to do so to present the thread in the manner he has is a great way to get votes and avoid the backlash.

Looking at the chart for Draven/Link/Shephard match again...Shephard never managed to cut Draven
Well,he did during the downtime but it doesn't count really
However..he came very close twice
20 Minutes before the site went down,Draven got updates of 69 and 57
The second had Shephard with -4...and the first one gave him A STALL

...He must be very unlucky to not get a cut there

Kirby wins easily. Currently in USA Kirby has 37.5 and Sephiroth has 34. Since most votes come from there... Man my favorite character loses to Kirby. Again!

Not going to lie, that's probably the most fun I've had with a match in a long, long time, even though it eventually turned into an unbelievably tragic result. Crono/Vincent 2008 is probably the last one that even comes close.

That Power Hour. Trying to keep the morale up during the darkness of the night vote. The comeback. The greatest contest performance in history.

I'm always going to regret not being there the whole way though, just ran out of gas.
