Zidane getting 35% on Cloud now

Ramza avoiding the doubling against Cloud

Cloud's percentage on Ridley surprisingly very close to the same!

It just means you guys aren't rallying Cloud hard enough! Any character can be rallied to win a match, just ask Link!


Sorry, I don't know any wrestlers who can beg their fanbase to vote for Cloud.

I just realized Draven's next match is on September 11th.
Ulp.


Draven is an Al Qaeda member, vote Mewtwo! :lol

If we don't beat Draven, the terrorists win.

Salute your fallen Hero of Time and defeat his killer.

So, on a less depressing topic, did Allen actually say what the next contest is going to be? I thought he hinted at it being a Games contest. I'm hoping it's something like "Game of the Generation," where the only entrants are games from the 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, and PC exclusives that came out since 2006.

All he said is that it wasn't going to be a Character Battle.

So if it's not a Games Contest, it's probably going to be a disaster.

So weird that Canada is for Cloud sheerly due to the amount of votes from Quebec, plus the one vote from the Yukon lmao. Not even Ontario, which has more people, and having all the other provinces pulling for Squirtle puts the country as a whole for him.

That's because the other provinces barely have Squirtle winning, only BC has a decent lead for Squirtle among the provinces that matter.

I'm wondering if all those upsets would have happened without Draven's round 2 ridiculousness. It seems to have opened the rally floodgates and before they seemed to be considered ineffective (well it allowed Waluigi to do well against Raiden but Raiden was never really in danger and Missile > Kerrigan but that was second place)

It's a PR answer. He can't just outright say "Yeah Draven made this contest more predictable than a Link/Snake/Charizard final would have been" because...well, yeah.

Also I doubt he intends it to come out this way, but it really sounds like he's biased against Link since he keeps saying stuff about how Link was going to win unless he just ended it. The Barkley thing makes no sense either to me since Hitler was in a Gamefaqs contest.

No way Link was assured to win that thing. Link was screwed, I can tell you that - but he also got ridiculously lucky. Rerun the match and there's a possibility the fickle mods on LoL don't delete ANY rally threads and Draven just blows Link out wire to wire.

Allen should have rerun it. If Draven wins the rerun by more, so be it, but it needed a rerun imho. And this is coming from someone who cackled fierce when Link lost.

Only if L-Block, ? block, Sandbag, and Weighted Companion Cube are banned.

They're characters, not items!

Sandbag is literally an item in Brawl and a character in Melee. That sneaky bastard.

It just purged, and I've been watching the trends closely. We have to start from a new baseline and evaluate how much is variance.

Edit: We do also have a very mild ASV right now, so Squirtle making gains isn't completely out of whack by the way. Now, SNV is a whole 'nother ballgame.

Item contest is going to be difficult. Master Sword is a character as of SS, Power Mushroom is alive and therefor also a character, etc.

I'm thinking a console contest. N64 vs PSX, let it be decided once and for all.

Don't even need an items contest for that since they're all as much of characters as L-Block.

To be fair, they *should* have been items. But Allen allowed them into a character contest.

New rule! "Any character that made it into a character contest is not eligible for an entry in an items contest!"
