This is the first time the lead's been under 300 since less than two hours into the match. --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
Right, the one time the KH day vote was stopped by the SNV was Frog/Axel, and that was a big rally. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
shane15 posted... Come on Sora! Pokémon is ruining this contest so do us all a favour and destroy the rat. That would actually help Pokemon believe it or not. Pikachu would screw over Squirtle when they fight Snake and Snake would win. Otherwise it's Squirtle to the finals. --- Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U Official Site: http://www.smashbros.com/us/ |
Please.
If there's one thing this contest has taught us, it's that it's easy
to rally a few hundred votes. Or, if you're a pokemon, a few thousand. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
7 in a row for Sora. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Sora
has surpassed Pika in USA. I hope Sora wins. We have too many Pokemon
in there and I would like a KH character there. Plus the semifinal match
would be too awesome. We would have Snake who is the 2nd strongest
character, Sora with his amazing day vote and Squirtle who will get
rallied. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |

While
I know Pikachu winning here helps Snake, I'd still rather see Sora pull
this one out just for the sake of a more interesting match. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
I
don't think Snake will be as easy to take down as Cloud regardless.
Brawl should let Snake SFF Squirtle a bit, and Cloud is an antivote
magnet. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

I'm
not entirely sure I buy Squirtle beating Snake, straight up. If Sora
makes it through, I think he overlaps more with Squirtle than Snake, and
I get the distinct feeling that Snake is stronger than Cloud this year. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |

Well, I'm beyond caring about the actual result. Only thing that could get me excited at this point is Squall winning this round and next. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
And Pikachu gets a 71 vote update out of nowhere. --- you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day |

Here come the rallies. These Pokemon rallies are so boring. Why can't we have rallies like Starcraft used to? Don't rally until you're 2000 votes down. That makes the match fun! --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Those ralliers really care about my expert - thanks guys!! --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
shane15 posted... UberPyro64 posted...shane15 posted...Come on Sora! Pokémon is ruining this contest so do us all a favour and destroy the rat. Pokemon is still very stoppable. Like even with rallies it's a lot harder to buy Squirtle > Snake than Squirtle > Cloud. You can't rule it out, obviously, but Snake is harder to rally against and gets less antivotes. Can't buy Zard over Samus, even if Red doesn't make it through. I could buy a rallied Mewtwo riding a wave of momentum to the championship if he beats Draven, though. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
These people that rally Pika actually hurt him! Anyway now Snake is a lock to the finals. But who the other 2 will be? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
red sox 777 posted... Why? Don't tell me what characters I can and can't like. I would vote L over most of the remaining characters- because I like him more as a character. As a character as in "as a joke"? Because that waste of space Tetris piece isn't a character. he's just as much of a character is the Biggoron Sword or Poison Mushroom. That's what L block is. He's an in game tool. If there's one thing worse than draven drones it's people who legitimately want L block to win again because supporting him is "cool". It was funny in 2007 and we were all on board. The joke is old. He should not be allowed to progress any further and if Samus doesn't do it Charizard will certainly do it. These contests are becoming terrible now and not just because of draven but peopel who support this garbage. We need to have Registered users only contest so it's a bit more low key but for real contest followers. that way these pathetic jokes can't be rallied and go too far. That way we can actually see strengths of characters on this site exclusively and how opinions vary from different times. outside influence being very minimal. If they want to have another character battle for 4chan nerds then so be it. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |

"rallies" There is only one up in /vp/ and it's the same topic ever since this match started And it's not alive because it's super active or something,it just takes it hours to purge in /vp/ So if you consider a topic that shows up only if you use the catalog or skip to the 5th page and bumped up once per a hour a "rally" then yes Pikachu got the longest rally ever |

The contests aren't for us, we just follow them And it's fine to like L-Block more as a character than some of the crap that makes it into the contests. If you take L-Block's "character" as having a value as 0, ie, "no character", than anything with less than 0, ie, "bad character" is an inferior character to L-Block. Subsequently L-Block is a better character than, say, Cloud. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Restricting
it to registered users will only make things worse from your point of
view. Have you seen what the early vote is like? As for this contest, this contest became a joke the moment SBAllen screwed Link out of his fairly won victory, and it deserves a joke winner. No winner at this point could possibly be legitimate- even if Snake or Samus somehow won. And out of these options, I like L-Block. Sheesh. You remind of people who say Link has no character. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
LordoftheMorons posted... I don't think Snake will be as easy to take down as Cloud regardless. Brawl should let Snake SFF Squirtle a bit, and Cloud is an antivote magnet. Squirtle wouldn't win even if Sora was in there. He needs a MASSIVE rally and even with that he barely beat Cloud. He would put up a 45-48% performance on snake though due to the rallies but Snake would never lose that. Simply because of the Cloud antivote factor. With pikachu there, Squirtle only gets rallies from dumbchan while his Gfaqs votes split. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Nanis23 posted... "rallies" There is no rally at all, just one loser who is stuffing and getting away with it because Allen is incompetent. |
Restrict it to registered users and we really would have a Pokemon final. Please no. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
But this contest is not about who is the best character If it was,Miles Edgeworth would have tripled Morrigan This is more about representation...and this is why I don't understand why people are so against Pokemon as "characters" Joke characters too,L-Block represents Tetris...what's the big problem? |
XIII_rocks posted... The contests aren't for us, we just follow them If you're a dweeb FFVII hater sure. How is anyone supposed to take you seriously with crap like that. I meant literally. Block isn't a character. Same with Sandbag. And saying link isn't a character because he's a mute? I mean now you're being silly. I understand the Allen thing. I really do And i'm all for a laugh sometimes. But L block already won in 2007. Why do we want that thing to win again? Why not someone else? Squirtle or Charizard winning would be infinitely better than L block. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Squirtle
can easily beat Snake. He should be even stronger next round and even
if the strength gap between Snake and Cloud is quite large, all it takes
is a bit bigger of a rally to close it. Sora won't fold like Leon did,
either. Of course this is academic discussion if Pikachu holds on, but yeah. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
We
simply don't like them. And we don't like that there are so many of
them at roughly the same strength. Link almost always wins, but it's
not like there's 5-10 Zelda characters all near his level crushing
everything. So Link wins 6 matches a year and takes the championship- Zelda characters never take up half the spots in the final 8. Nor do FFVII characters, or anyone else. But mostly it's just dislike. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Nanis23 posted... But this contest is not about who is the best character It's best character. Not best inatimate object in a game. L block isn't a character. Pokemon ARE characters. Learn the difference. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
If
it was about best character Yuri Lowell would be the strongest RPG
character. Sadly it's not and not enough people know how truly great he
is. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

That is the only reason why there's so many strong pokemon left --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Because
I don't want Squirtle or Charizard to win. I'll vote for Draven if it
comes to that. Because I think he's a better character. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Another rally destroys another good match. Who could have thought that? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Yeah
I don't really get why people get so agitated when someone dares to
express displeasure with Pokemon dominating this thing. It's a
popularity contest! I don't get up in arms when someone says they
dislike Snake and that should arguably be a crime against nature
<.< --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
If
you're a dweeb FFVII hater sure. How is anyone supposed to take you
seriously with crap like that. I meant literally. Block isn't a
character. Same with Sandbag. No character > bad character. L-Block not being a character means he has no character. But when you are literally worse than having no character, ie, being a bad character, then I prefer L-Block to you. This is true of Cloud, but not restricted to him. There are tons of characters in the contest that I'd vote L-Block over not based on "joke voting" but based on "you are bad enough that I prefer an L-shaped block to you". --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
I don't like when you don't like what I like. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |

He should be even stronger next round and even if the strength gap between Snake and Cloud is quite large, all it takes is a bit bigger of a rally to close it. Sora won't fold like Leon did, either. The only important parts of your post is "bigger rally". Squirtle basically relies on a huge rally to beat Cloud. I honestly cannot see Squirtle getting a bigger rally next round. Not against Snake. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
LeonhartFour posted... Blue's holding up better than most same franchise characters have, actually. I expected Blue to do better than this, though.... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Fayt_Esteed posted... I expected Blue to do better than this, though.... I think Blue does better against Pikachu if it's 1-on-1. But Pokemon needed someone to fall by the wayside here, and it was Blue. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
It's
normal and common for bandwagons and rallies to grow every round.
Snake isn't far above Cloud. It's doable. Don't know if it'll happen,
but it's certainly within range. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

I don't get up in arms when someone says they dislike Snake and that should arguably be a crime against nature <.< I don't mind when people are honest about it, really. It's understandable, because as I've said before this topic is kind of the hub of people who dislike the series in general on this board. My issue is when it gets dressed up and becomes insulting. The "every pokemon fan thinks they're an underdog in every match" or whatever is the opposite of the truth, especially when you have KP telling me I have that attitude when I'm distinctly displaying to him the opposite. Like I said earlier - if you just say you don't like the series, don't like its fanbase, that's far more palatable and it being dressed up with this frustrating, passive-aggressive crap. And it is sad when you see people saying they would literally prefer Draven winning, after the hell Draven's fans created on b8. But maybe I just care about the general state of b8 too much, idk. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Rallies
are not that easily measurable. Pokemon could get a bigger rally next
round just by having more people online at the key voting times than
they did in the Cloud match. Snake can easily lose to Squirtle, the bandwagon & rally potential is just that potent. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Too
much paranoia about rallying. There are no effective rallies in this
match, has anyone even looked at the vote totals? Nobody cares about
pokemon outside the first and last hour of the poll. The Squirtle rally
being for a pokemon was coincidental because he was Cloud's opponent,
not because he's a pokemon. Nobody does persistent rallying for Pokemon
through an entire day, it doesn't happen. |
red sox 777 posted... Because I don't want Squirtle or Charizard to win. I'll vote for Draven if it comes to that. Because I think he's a better character. I don't care if you think Draven is a better character. He's a character at least. Also XIII, bad charater? Your definition of a good character is literally Generic soldiers from COD of hipster gangster from GTA. GTFO with that crap. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
