I hate im late to the party but wow this is the funniest thing ever


this is like the most hilarious poll ever
so, we have either:
1. vote stuffing, therefore extremely likely Draven stuffed
2. they really rallied for a random board 8 poll, meaning that these people are really big losers

Also, Crono vs. Draven 1v1 for the bonus poll. Because it would be HILARIOUS if Crono won.


Crono>Link confirmed

Prepare for 8 pictures of sprite Snake from the NES. Because Bacon is determined to make the Noble Nine lose.


Or he uses just the sprite round pic Ulti made, claiming no other pics fit his prescribed format...!

Actually Kefka staying constant in a crazy contest is the craziest think he can do
So yes Kefka>GlaDOS

people are seriously considering Kefka choking against GlaDOS?
I'm more concerned about him taking out Snake!

and Sephiroth with a random spike outta nowhere

Kefka can lose to GlaDOS, it's unlikely but hardly inconceivable.

Probably not considering the picsmiths are going to be whipping up some awesome depictions of him and his laughing sprite, but still.

lol @ FFVI fans hoping kefka does anything. Who did he beat last round? oh right a bunch of western midcard fodders.

Snake is going to more than double Kefka. It's not even going to be close. Snake has bigger things to worry about like trying to take down Cloud & Draven.

I guess we are lucky?
I still get this message in-game,so I guess it still hasn't been fully fixed yet (almost 10 hours now)

Well not so lucky since Link lost anyway and the site died and what not,but it could have been Ultimate Draven if the match was today
#258 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/4/2013 1:39:00 PM | message detail
I don't think people are really being serious about contemplating Kefka losing to Snake. I still maintain there's an outside shot at it with Solid S*** v Laughing Kefka but there's hopefully going to be enough pictures to drown out the bad one.

Come to think of it, if Kefka's newfound popularity comes from Dissidia, wouldn't sprite Kefka be counterproductive now?

Eh, Kefka's still primarily an FF6 creature through and through. He's never received his laughing sprite in a contest picture. I think he could be a whole different animal with one - at least to me, it's always been his most recognizable and iconic look.

Kefka got some additional strength from Dissidia, but he's still primarily known and liked because of FFVI.

Too bad having multiple pics will neuter the effect somewhat, depending on how many pics have sprite Kefka in them.

Let's get a combo of laughing Kefka, Angel Kefka, and Dissidia Kefka!

Prepare for it, KH. Snake's worst picture vs. Kefka's best. 8 hours of site downtime for "scheduled maintenance" during the day vote. The return of George Romero. Snake gets 490 votes removed for stuffing at 11:45 while Kefka stuffing goes ignored.

Yeah I feel Kefka needs to really showcase what he can do in a proper sprite round against a neutral opponent - not Sprite Snake, because anyone can overperform against Solid S***. Something like Sprite Yoshi versus Laughing Kefka would be very interesting to me.

..I just hope Kirby is going to make some cuts just to make this interesting and to make Sephiroth look bad (which will work better for Mewtwo next round because it will make people lose hope in Sephiroth upsetting Draven)

The ASV is soon,right? does the trends favor Kirby here or we are just going into 1600 votes stall territory?

People act like Dissidia did anything.

IF it was a fully fledged console game sure. But it was on the PSP thus making it really less effective than it should be.


I can't beleive Dissidia isn't on Consoles.

Normal Gamefaqs visitors that think Sephiroth is the powerhouse he once was
#279 | ZFS | Posted 9/4/2013 1:54:35 PM | message detail
Dissidia probably didn't do much of anything for Kefka, as a game, but it provided good art for him. Before that, he relied on Amano art or PS1 CG. That's the real benefit of Dissidia. Game itself doesn't really matter.

We've been in the thick of what used to be the ASV for awhile now.

And yeah, Sephiroth's pedigree way outclasses Mewtwo's to the general site. Which means perversely, even if Mewtwo is stronger, Sephiroth could easily be the one getting bandwagoned by GameFAQs visitors if they decide they need to rally against the strongest character to beat Draven. Meanwhile Mewtwo is the easier one to bring in outside rallying.

This is yet another reason why neither have a particularly good shot.

General site doesn't care. "FF7 Always Wins" is still a thing, and it will continue to be no matter how many times FF7 gets upset in these contests.

It..might come to the point where Mewtwo and Sephiroth splitting votes is what costing one of them the match
...Even in a worse way than Shephard
Like,it can be a totally 40-30-30 deal (if Draven rally will be weaker)
#285 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/4/2013 2:02:34 PM | message detail
god how I ever wish

Though I do think Cloud is going to win... hesitantly, but I do genuinely think he will right now.

I haven't been predicting in the Oracle this year, but if I were, I think I'd pick Cloud with 58%. Cloud > Mario > Charizard > Squirtle. Draven broke the spirit of NintendoFAQs.

This is the main reason Mewtwo has no chance in my view. He'll be too busy having a legit match with Seph to worry about Draven. Next round, Mewtwo v. Seph will be more interesting than whatever Draven does.

You mean directly on Squirtle or in the poll
Because for Cloud to put 58% in this match it means Lugia>>>Squirtle (I can see Frog>Leon but not too much)

Edit-Actually screw it,Leon was better than Frog in every year they were in
Unless Frog got some crazy boost for no reason and RE6 hit Leon..HARD..
Squirtle>Lugia and Leon>Frog
And Cloud only got 49% that match

Draven's most powerful strength, perhaps besides the rallies, is the trolling effect. It needs to be like a stats term: voting for a character because it'll cause unrest and provide amusing drama. It's actually a powerful force that has shown its strength this contest.

...Imagine a world where Sonic was in Megaman place
By the point Magikarp reach the third round,he is already strong enough to beat Zero and SFF Charizard,getting him to face against Samus and Mario (ignoring what happened with Vivi) obviously advancing to the finals
Magikarp really could take down Draven

But this is like 10x L-block. No one can beat Draven, even L-block, because it's more funny and amusing for trolls if Draven wins.

I like it when Kanz honestly believe they vote Draven just because they like him
That's what happened in the first round,what happened in the next two matches is clearly to troll us
