Oh, I was talking about the current one for Kirby.

I didn't even notice "Draven" in your post.

Oh.

Well I have no idea what his best win is then.


Based on the current match, Kirby...!

Squall still owns the best 1-on-1 performance against Kirby!

Sephy will have to pull away a little more than this if /v/ keeps up, or if reddit joins in.

What the f***? Is this the same Kirby who got his ass Lionheart-ed into oblivion a couple of years ago?


Standout Factor, slight rallying from 4chan, LFF between FFViI/MGS. Kirby always performs respectably in such setting, this isn't anything new.

Big Boss is the one that's impressing me though, 45% on Sephiroth is no joke.

If anything, Squall rarely gets the credit he deserves!

Although he came close this contest. I was flabbergasted he was the favorite to beat Missingno this year.

on that note, people overrating Reddit and underrating Gamefaqs's voting power. Yes reddit can rally with ridiculous proportions but in a 1v1 match..the gap between Gfaqs and Reddit wouldn't be that big..and Link virtually had most of Gfaqs support though sheapprd took sme out of him.

So no matter how much Reddit tries to rally, If the whole of Gfaqs stood against him and with outside help, he can be defeated. But not in a 3 way unless it's Link and some fodder.

The Draven rally thread was deleted at the start of the hiccups, it took full support behind link, outside help, almost double the votals and even against a crippled Draven having trouble getting his threads visible on Reddit he still lost.
If Draven did to Link what he did to MMX he would have doubled him with ease.

Trend chart for yesterday's match:

Time | Sonic | Mewtwo | Bowser | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 35.24% | 45.44% | 19.33% | 1873 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 34.23% | 43.85% | 21.91% | 8419 | (0:00-1:00)

SNV | 33.61% | 42.85% | 23.54% | 2392 | (22:00-24:00)

Sonic is pretty steady throughout but does noticeably better with the morning vote. Mewtwo is like a valley, starting high, dropping down low and then rising back up high. Bowser basically had nowhere to go but up after that terrible start.

X-Stats:

Mewtwo – 50.00%
Sonic the Hedgehog – 45.26%
Phoenix Wright – 40.32%
Vincent Valentine – 36.83%
Marth – 36.19%
Bowser – 36.08%
Barret Wallace – 31.03%
Sub-Zero – 30.05%
The Boss – 29.60%
KOS-MOS – 29.58%
Dracula – 29.27%
Garrus Vakarian – 27.05%
Nightmare – 24.76%
Professor Layton – 23.83%
Chrom – 23.39%
Lucina – 21.75%
Fei Fong Wong – 21.12%
Heavy – 20.75%
Meta Knight – 20.53%
Reimu Hakurei – 16.95%
Dan Hibiki – 15.34%
Zero – 15.23%
Archer – 14.61%
Dunban – 12.18%
Frank West – 10.90%
Caim – 5.99%
Chester – 4.12%

Mewtwo's prediction percentage was 8.33%

Even if Draven wins because of this. It would be one sad victory.
I wonder how the contest admins are gonna handle this. Honestly hope Link wins now after this nonsense.

If Link ends up losing by like less than 900 votes, I swear...

Link is only cutting 70 votes every 5 minutes, which has the potential to be close at the end.

Meaning if this is close and Allen doesn't DQ Draven, Draven will advance entirely because of a DDOS. That would be far worse than any of the crap Ceej pulled back in the day.

But yeah...that was easily 1500 votes lost during that slowdown, as a conservative estimate based on what Link was doing. If we assume that 500 of those people are voting now, that's 1000 votes lost. Which could be HUGE depending on what things look like at 8pm EST, the time when night voting comes into play again.


If that DDoS killed him that'd be something else.


Reading old stat topics when you know what happened after it is so enjoyable
Everyone should give it a try,it's funny
#421 | Not_Wylvane | Posted 9/4/2013 3:38:05 AM | message detail
Just woke up.

If I'm honest, Sephiroth winning is the most surprising result for me. But it also helps Mewtwo's chances, so OK.

But Kirby could make a nice comeback later, so I guess we'll see.

lol Link got 49k votes. that's not double what he would have got on a normal 24 hour match don't be silly. And he wouldn't ever be doubled by Draven.

And the "rally topics" were always going to die down. That's a silly argument. That's how rallies work on a massive site like Reddit. Topics like that can only appear once or they get deleted. You blame rally topics dying down for draven being weak. Draven IS weak. If you rely on rallies for 80% of your strength, your pathetic and weak period.

And the X/Ryu thing was different. Link is vastly stronger character than Megamn/Ryu.

Fact is Link's "support" was just as legit as Draven and in a 1v1 the rallies wouldn't really propel draven that far. I would say Links support would have been greater on a Sunday.

Also lets stop this notion that 100% reddit votes go to Draven. They don't. Hence why he did worse than last round. I know several LoL players over here, i would say 7 out of 10 would vote for draven instantly due to bandwagon and being a fanboy but the other 3 would vote for their favourite character of the poll. IF you put that into practise, Link probably got a lot of votes too.

Have to say when the main rally thread got deleted and Link was winning updates by nearly 200 there was no conceivable way I saw Draven winning at that point. The DDOS to buy time for a new thread was such a gamechanger.

Link deserved until 6:50 AM GMT(1 30 AM Eastern) for his match. If he loses by a couple of thousand. Fair game. But he didn't. That's the biggest joke.

How much will MN9 sell when it comes out? Why has crapcom killed off MM? why hasn't MM gotten any good budget games in the last 15 years?

Seriously the guy isn't popular. And MMX is much less popular than MM.

The only way Mewtwo can win is if Sephiroth holds out over Kirby. A vote for Sephiroth is a vote to beat Draven!

That said, this is probably good since it gives Mewtwo a fair shot at taking down Draven.

This is a great performance from Kirby though. I love Kirby runs, they're the best.

Indeed, while the /v/ rally is still up (the guy has... just now stopped bumping it every minute), it should proportionally be a much smaller percentage of the incoming votes and Kirby is still coming back. The real defying trend if this keeps up is the likelihood that Sephiroth, for some reason, decided not to tank his early vote for the first time in like a decade.

If Sephiroth manages to go even with the 9 or 10 o clock hours I guess he probably still has good shot at winning.

Eh, Seph is inching up again. I do think the /v/ rally is still having an effect as he seems to go down when it's active. They usually don't have enough traffic runoff to influence the poll that much so I wonder if it's due to that Nintendo Direct stuff or whatever.

i know seph is not a particluarly well known for his day vote.. but it still obliterates most others...

why would kirby have a huge advantage there? or has Sephiroth really become that terrible after being 2a for years.

I'd say.. considering the snake and to an extent kirby love lately this should be considered a pretty strong showing... yes?
