L-Block cut 130 from Tifa lead in the last 4 updates

Even though it's looking good it-
1.Will fade out soon
2.Even now when it's probably L-Block "peak"..it doesn't cut Samus...


It took a good 8 hours of rallying for L-Block to peak the last time, it did its best work in the final hour. Will be interesting to see if it scales or fizzles out this time.


I wonder
Just how much the imgur page of 4chan matters here?
And how does it get "stronger"?
Because it looks like it took off because of imgur,not because the thread on /v/


It's not imgur. That's just the image that you click through to on the 4chan reddit.

It's a 4chan reddit rally.

You mean that all the views this page gets...is actually from the 4chan site itself and not through imgur?

Actually that's Lusters on a reddit post. I don't know what that's contributing to it.

Djoker wasn't going to DDOS 4chan. It's just that 4chan runs on two proxy servers in rotation; one of them would go down, shifting traffic to the second, which would then get overloaded and go down, shifting traffic back to the first, repeat.

I think it's safe to call it over
The rally worked nicely,getting 300 vote cut for L-Block,but this is so darn late right now...behind 3600 votes away doesn't look like it's possible,so people don't really try

Now if the rally picked up steam in the beginning..maybe it was possible

Pretty harsh suspension for something that was obviously a non-serious comment.

I just want them to rally L-Block into second place. A concentrated enough effort could pull off 3600 votes in nine hours!

Yeah, if a few 4chan members miss the joke part, this could ends badly for Gfaqs, even if it was just a joke.

The votals have been turd all contest.

Just make contests for registered users only so we can just have fun with our low votal stats. What is the point of all this prediction and crap when you have drones rallying left right and center?

And while we're at it, why don't we just eliminate character battle, and just have months of various polls on how Link is the best character ever.

So ever since the rally started..L-Block cut 316 votes off Tifa..which is..uh..cool
But then you look at how much it cut from Samus and..well..52

Back to doing what I was doing before I thought this is going to be interesting bye

Yes lets eliminate this garbage. Game contests are so much better anyway. Fewer jokes and joke games are nearly impossible to rally for since people have their own favourite games.

Having said that, Brawl almost won so you never know....

Yeah it's not really going to sustain itself being this far behind. Could have hung with Samus doing this from the first minute like Squirtle and Vivi did but too late now.

I support the suggestion of plastering daily polls on every page of the website, instead of just the front page, to encourage improved votals.

Well, it's not fair to Link, but given that he is no longer able to deliver the blowouts against non-elite character he used to, and his matches are thus less fun to watch, I guess it's okay to follow the 2005-6 approach of putting him at the end of the tournament. As long as he gets to beat down the character who makes it through the main bracket.

I hope so, but am not too optimistic. Bacon seems to want to make Link lose, and Link is 5-1 in 1v1 contests, undefeated in 10 years. He's 1-2 in multi-way contests.

More realistically he could change the site logo to advertise the fact that a character battle is going on.

Draven gets about 20k votes

He can always put the poll in the side column, like what you see in these 2 screenshots:

All pages on the site that have a side column (like what you see in the screenshot) should have the poll displayed at the very top of the side column.
