Kefka the only champion that makes sense.


He's a true champion... at the art of choking, that is.

...LoL users rallying on a Board 8 poll and unleashing 3000 votes clearly shows just how much they enjoy this thing
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


CBX: Mario vs (insert LoL character) 1v1, deliberately rally to piss off Kanz
trolol

those are only the LoL trolls
(inb4 all the trolls are LoL drones anyway)


Based on the rallies, a lot of them vote just to troll, not because they prefer Draven, and it's where almost all of his FAQs popularity comes from.

i wonder if Link would have won if that wrestler's tweet had been early in the day instead of near the end. i said before it happened and i maintain that individual celebrity's will draw more votes from tweets then corporations. the massive corporations that could draw a huge vote are not going to bother themselves over a contest of this scale.

quick, which celebrities are Pokemon fans
#306 | im317 | Posted 9/4/2013 2:41:36 PM | message detail
i also think that a celebrity seeing there tweet actually change the outcome of a match would increase there interest and could provide for a much larger boost the following round.

basically im saying pick a character this round and get a celebrity behind them, once that character wins the celebrity might be more apt to do more then just send a single tweet out about it. they could bring other celebrities into it.

I think it's apparent that Link losing has killed some interest in the contest now. I think we'd have done better yesterday and today if he'd won.

Then again that might mean that Kirby would be beating Sephiroth now and Squirtle > Cloud would be a lock.

All Hail Draven

Link/Shepard/Draven will have more votes than the next 2 matches combined. Today's match is getting less votes than the age poll from earlier this year.

I suppose Samus/L-Block/Tifa has a chance. Samus usually has mediocre votal matches, though.

Only if Squirtle and Pikachu can pull off the inside straight, which I find exceedingly unlikely. If even one of them fails Snake has to tangle with a bandwagoned Pokemon in a really unfavorable setup. I'd rather bank on Snake/Cloud/Sora (a much more probable match than Snake/Squirtle/Pikachu) and then for Samus to hold serve while Mewtwo catches fire for Mewtwo/Snake/Samus.

perhaps, but would you really prefer Draven/Snake/someone over Mewtwo/Snake/Charizard
surely if so, you could root for the Pokemon NOT in Snake's immediate path!

that's what I'm saying, Pokemon in the other two final slots is much better for Snake once he gets there compared to Draven and someone (something, if it's L-Block) else

Disappointed in Kirby, but at least Sephiroth has a 0% chance of advancing another round and I guess Kirby would hurt Mewtwo more not that Mewtwo's chance of 1st place is too much better.

Draven reaching the finals means Snake won't win it
It might be just a theory,but I think the finals,just being a finals,will make it a more hyped match for reddit to rally Draven..than some "just another round" like the 4th round
Mewtwo winning over Draven will be because he will gather Link's revenge votes,but it will stop there

I don't believe in "bandwagoned Pokemon" as being a thing,even if Mewtwo beat Draven it won't help him against Snake in the finals

Mewtwo/Snake/Samus = Snake wins
Draven/Snake/Samus=Draven wins
Mewtwo/Snake/L-Block = L Block wins
Draven/Snake/L-Block = I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Link getting eliminated isn't why I lost interest. Link getting eliminated because Sballen is a corrupt and terrible admin is why I lost interest. I already thought Link was going to lose before the match even started and I was still looking forward to the rest of the non draven matches. It's the way Link lost that killed the contest.

This. Link losing was the favourite outcome. Link being crushed was the favourite outcome. The way he lost was disgusting. Plus when Allen said he didn't even care apart from standard procedures of seeing it out al OT of people lost interest.

Not rerunning the poll or at least extending it was the most unfair thing to do
And his comment about "it doesn't matter,people came back and voted" was so stupid I can't believe I was behind him in the bracket a few times
I guess he just followed the guru picks or something
Not having a single idea about trends and timezones+Draven having no rallies up and he just got his 3 worst updates in the whole match right before the site died (57,69.100.IIRC)

People here will talk about this for years
