Oh man, Cloud was looking okay, but with this new surge and that latest rally I'm upgrading Squirtle to solid favorite. That's enough to put him at 65-70% even if he doesn't get any more crazy updates like that - this is about the absolute maximum that Cloud could theoretically cut off with the SNV going away.

I'll have to remember the next time i make a bracket to pick who i think has the most rally potential. Not most popular. Lol

It was Cloud weakest update in the last hour and Squirtle srongest update in the last few hours
So yes,ouch

What
Was
That


edit - oh it was actually Cloud getting the worst update ever


Combined with Squirtle getting his best spike in 6 hours. Variance can explain Cloud, but this is about the level of intensifying rallying that he can't handle.

After this match the next one is making me semi nervous about if Sora can keep pikachu off his back. But not enough to change my expert as Blue is pretty strong too.

Maybe this is just the thing Sora needs

PIkachu needs to win so Snake can just Demolish Both next round.

If the Pokemon rallies next match coalesce around one of the two Pokentrants Sora is probably dead. There's a good chance it'll be split though if one isn't decisively favored over the other.

I think it worth changing to Blue>Pikachu looking at how much /v/ rallies can change things
They loathe Pikachu,but absolutely in favor of "Gary Oak" so..

I agree. I think Blue is probably the favorite if rallies take place for a Pokemon character.
Plus Squirtle would be with his trainer and maybe Charizard will be with his trainer too.

I've been advocating for 1v1 since day one! But I guess Draven wouldn't have beaten Link in 1v1 so Allen's going to be even more entrenched in his beliefs now.

If the results hold im getting max in expert. I dont think I can put in Blue>Pikachu. Especially after Pikachu just bashed even a fallen crono into the ground.

I honestly believe the only reason Pikachu is strong is because he represents Pokemon
Put him against a more popular Pokemon and it will own him,even if Pikachu is stronger indirectly

I think im more hyped to Pikachu vs Blue than to see if any of them can beat Sora honestly
#331 | Scarlettail | Posted 9/6/2013 3:16:23 PM | message detail
I don't even know who to vote for between Pikachu and Blue. I'm leaning Pikachu, but man, Blue is great. The match for 2nd will be way more interesting than Sora.

Why does everyone hate this so much? These ridiculous results just make for less predictable tournaments which is exactly what everyone complained about originally. I don't care that my bracket is toast this contest has been freaking awesome.

NO it doesn't. Only way it's redeemed is if Draven loses rallying power and Snake wins the contest.

The problem is that SFF heavily dominates 3-way format. There are simply too many matches where two characters share the same fanbase and have the vote split between them, causing the third character to move on despite being far weaker.

Because most matches become 1v1 with a lesser and you won't get as many ridculous set ups like Crono/Magus/pikachu and Zero/MM/Charizard.

why the **** haven't any pokemon been in any matches together yet? Yet we've had 2 high tier MM characters and CT characters. It's a joke.

Also Contests cannot be 1v1 from the start. They CAN be 4 ways until 3rd round and then 1v1 with stronger characters. That way most of the pokemon can be eliminated via SFF.

I don't know. Blue got a lot of RBY stuff including his game sprite, what looks like his manga self people love and not very much post-RBY stuff.

Cloud doesn't have any rallying support, though. Cloud can make slow gains but then have them all wiped out with one update

And at this point, it doesn't even look like its rallying. Squirtle is consistently outgaining Cloud right now PLUS the occasional huge update.

At least Cloud was ahead for a while. But Squirtle? Okay 3 questions.
1)If the next match is Snake-Squirtle-Sora, Squirtle will be the favorite?
2)Can Sora really win? Pokemon seem unstoppable.
3)Cloud is doing what on Leon? Better or worse than expected?

No, it's a huge amount of rallying. Even when I thought the rally threads were taken down there was still a huge reddit one left, one that's had thousands of click-throughs. And now they're all mostly back up.
