Cloud would like to post a 53% hour here to keep pace with Crono/Vincent. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Charizard
losing to Mega Man/Zero is much worse, by a lot. Pikachu could get a
serious rally, enough to overwhelm the leech gap. Charizard losing with
that same rally power behind him would be pathetic. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
The targets (to keep pace with Crono/Vincent 2007): 3 | 53% 4 | 54% 5 | 62% 6 | 64% 7 | 61% 8 | 58% 9 | 56% 10 | 55% --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Yeah, it's got to be Charizard. I mean, forget the Zelda match. That would be the ultimate fraud performance. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Squirtle is going back up somewhat. And Cloud a bit down. --- Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U Official Site: http://www.smashbros.com/us/ |
Kirby
was going up around here, too. Natural votes can start to get
overwhelmed by rally power. Just a question of how much there is. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Come
on Cloud... it will be normal for Squirtle to continue gaining for a
while yet, but hopefully the match follows Seph/Kirby trends. It will be
harder for him to break past rallied Pokemon though. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
I
dunno. We still have no idea where (and how severely) the SFF will fall
in Pikachu/Blue. Pikachu could barely come out ahead or the rat could
just crush. In MM/Zero, we have the general belief that Mega Man could
siphon a ton of votes from Zero if he needed to make it close. If
Charizard loses in something like a 45/45/10 and Sora loses in a
38/37/25, I'd argue that Sora would look worse. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
Squirtle is starting to tune up the band here. --- And I would do anything for bets, but I won't do that! No I won't do that! I am Sir Chris, the Knight that says NICK!!! |
oooh Squirtle is having a vote serge! Take that Cloud! --- Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U Official Site: http://www.smashbros.com/us/ |
Biggest lead of the match --- POKEFEAR |
How
bad Charizard looks also depends on Zero. Part of the reason Charizard
has such a good shot at winning is because Zero isn't supposed to fold.
If Zero goes out and puts up 8% or something ridiculously low, Charizard
can still look okay with a close loss to Mega Man. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
6 pages? Why are people getting so worked up over it? We have got so much examples of characters leading over FFVII early and then losing by alot Give Squirtle 500 lead here,and Cloud still got this |
Well,
okay, in full disclosure I'm working off the premise that Zero doesn't
fold. If Zero does fold and Blue holds up then things might be
different! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
While
it still looks to be rallies (elevated votes and such), I won't rule
out Squirtle doing better naturally as we get further away from the
hardcore voting crowd and his STF starting to have a much greater
effect. Still looks really similar to Seph/Kirby, so I'll be generous to Squirtle and give him a 10% chance of winning the match outright. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Yep,
we really have to look at Sora/Charizard's percentages before we can
judge who was more impressive/disappointing. It just seems that in terms
of absolute percentage, I find it almost impossible to picture
Charizard NOT finishing above 40%, which means Mega Man would have to
put a real hurting on Zero to contend. Even with an equally favorable
setup (hell, perhaps a more favorable one), it's still easier to imagine
Sora dipping below that 40% mark. Guess Pokemon has just looked that
scary. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
on the other hand, Sephiroth was only 94 votes back at this point, Cloud's 254 back we'll see what happens, I guess |
So there are rallies here, then? If that's the case I think Cloud can pull it off. I'm really hoping Mega Man pulls it off, but iirc he didn't hold up too well against Zero last time. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Are there Squirtle rallies going on? I can't identify them from the trends so far. Looks normal with random variation. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Though
to be honest,a character claiming to be the second strongest in the
site has no reason to be behind a newcomer for 3 hours If there is going to be another contest and the term "noble nine" it will be so stupid There is nothing noble about them anymore You know,of all the eliminated NN aside from Link,Crono looked the best |
Squirtle's been rallied more. They've been damn near insatiable. I counted ten rallies before I got bored. They're just now starting to die down a bit but they've doubtlessly had an effect. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
So
he's been rallied the whole time, explaining why it's invisible in the
trends. Okay. In that case, we may yet have hope for reenacting
Crono/Vincent! Okay.....not that much hope. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

Squirtle has a 180~ lead on Kirby's lead so yeah this is a bit bulkier and I imagine it won't be shredded as easily. I picked Squirtle in this one cause 'why not' so it should be good! --- And I would do anything for bets, but I won't do that! No I won't do that! I am Sir Chris, the Knight that says NICK!!! |

Nanis23 posted...Though to be honest,a character claiming to be the second strongest in the site has no reason to be behind a newcomer for 3 hours Hm,yes You can also say "at least Crono got an excuse" The "anchors" Mario and Sonic got are nothing like what dragged down Crono And Cloud has no excuse here.at all |
Preliminary upper tier strength ranking. My best attempt, anyways! God Tier: Link High Elite Tier: Snake Samus Mario Mega Man Low Elite Tier: Mega Man X Cloud Crono Sephiroth Squall Zelda Goddamn Pokemon Near-Elite Tier: Luigi Auron Sonic Tifa - Subject to change. Her opponents thus far suck or got SFFed. Big Boss Kirby Ganondorf/Yoshi? - No good reads on them this time at all. Bowser - Because having no idea where you stand is better than his terrible performance on The Boss. LOL Vincent and I'm fully expecting LOL Sora even if he wins. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
So is anyone actually voting for Sora? Or put another way, is there anyone that doesn't want to see Sora thoroughly embarrass himself next match by losing to Pikachu? Don't let me down, board vote! --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A. Scalia |
About the "rallies" The reddit rally for Squirtle got more downvotes than upvotes,it obviously doesn't help too much It still kills me just how much LoL fans care about this contest compared to everyone else |
Ugh, I changed my Expert challenge all around after Vivi, and then welched on my half my changes. Of course, it's now looking like I changed back the wrong matches. I'm going to have about 300 points after this round. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Nanis23 posted... About the "rallies" Rule of vocal minority. Most just click through and vote without bothering to upvote or downvote. There were also a LOT more rallies there at one point before they all got deleted for spamming. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
I may or may not be downvoting reddit rallies multiple times in almost every Pokemon match. :) --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
It's
funny to think that simply finding a way to include the PotD throughout
the site (if we really ARE getting more traffic than we did in
2006-2008) would kill any rally like Draven's. For all the feverish
involvement of Reddit and the LoL forums, it wouldn't have mattered if
matches were still pulling in 140,000 votes. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |

ATTN Allen please put poll banners up (maybe you can click to kill them for the day so they don't get too annoying) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

For all the feverish involvement of Reddit and the LoL forums, it wouldn't have mattered if matches were still pulling in 140,000 votes. even assuming that SBAllen isn't lying his ass off about daily traffic (.1% chance of that happening) he probably wouldn't implement it and then complain about low votals |

If Allen would simply do that, we could probably average like 100000 votes for our non-contest polls if he is telling the truth about site traffic being even higher than it was 5 years ago. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

It
would definitely be possible for the PotD to be displayed on all pages
of the site only when you are not logged into an account. That way, you
won't get any complaints from registered users about the PotD being on
every page of the site. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

All we really need is a link to the poll on more pages, since you can vote from the poll now.

Voting
in the poll from the poll results page only applies to the contest
matches. When we go back to having non-contest polls again, we'll have
to vote from the home page again. The non-contest polls do not allow
you to vote in the poll from the poll results page. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Karma Hunter posted... Nanis23 posted...About the "rallies" Well but by LoL rallies,there is nothing like vocal minority,you see them swarming like crazy and posting comments and upvotes and what not Try to rally in /vp/,and this is what you get why the **** should I care about some gamefaqs poll? Why are you even visiting the site? To be honest? I have to side with /vp/ here...if I wasn't part of Gamefaqs,I would consider it as annoying spam |
Well,
obviously the LoL rallies are in a completely different level. But this
is still much more than Kirby was getting last night. Kirby had one guy
passively bumping a rally all night. This is a multi-platform rally for
a Pokemon all over the place, which is ironically the thing that makes
me have the least faith in Squirtle. If he was doing this with no
rallies he'd be a really good bet to win the match. As it is it looks
like he's just gonna have a closer version of Seph/Kirby. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
AxemRedRanger posted... I assume you'll sign my petition, then? I'd like to suggest the idea of putting the link in your sig so you won't have to spam the link so often. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Im not sure..I searched in most possible places to rally for Pokemon and only noticed two failed rallies,in reddit and vp Google doesn't help too much either,as the only result is this- http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/932981-final-fantasy-xv/67174876 And it found another in Pokemon X board,but it got deleted... Anyway,looks like Cloud is making a comeback...after a long stall he finally starts cutting,this is what usually happens |
The
votals for this match have slowly fallen behind the Kirby match. There
were several rallies on reddit but most are deleted now and none of the
/v/ or /vp/ rallies really caught on from what I could see. I'm thinking
that one relentless Kirby guy probably was indeed more effective than
this stuff. What other sites have you seen people rallying? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
This is as close as Cloud's been in over 2 hours. --- POKEFEAR |
Reddit posts being deleted...? Great..we are dealing here with the most ****ed up site in the world...all subreddits aside from the LoL one deletes rally topics while the LoL rally stays up for 6 hours Also add the fact that someone bribed people in the LoL forum to vote for Draven and he actually gave out 4 prepaid cards (40$ in value) and we are facing against very fair odds |
Squirtle by the Hour on Cloud: 1:00 | 52.36% 2:00 | 49.60% 3:00 | 50.53% Impressive 3rd hour for Squirtle. I didn't think he had another hourly win in him. Under 200 votes now though. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
