Brawl. Snake gets a little of his strength from there and some of those votes would go to Pikachu, in theory. Like we're not talking that much, but it's some connection, which is more than what Pikachu and Cloud have. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Base Draven today isn't Shepard level. Base Draven who voters realize is beating Link is Shepard level. Cut Link out of the equation when Draven's rallies were down and Shepard would have been kicking his face in. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
XIII_rocks posted... Brawl. Snake gets a little of his strength from there and some of those votes would go to Pikachu, in theory. I actually think Pikachu would hurt Cloud more, due to Cloud's huge draw of anti-votes and Pikachu's casual recognition. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |

Yes, anti-votes are most effective when they can be channeled into a single target. Snake/Cloud/Pikachu would have been unfavorable for Snake. I think he could still win, but not a favorable setup at all. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
I was kinda disappointed that Sora's match turned out to be Kirby/Terra/Peach all over again... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

I suppose I'm sort of lumping anti-votes and apathy votes together. If you have Snake v. Cloud, and you don't care, you're going to vote for whichever one you're more familiar with or happens to look cooler (which is mostly going to be Cloud on this website). However, I'm almost positive that RBY Pokemon characters are lightning rods for apathy votes. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
I thought base draven was weaker than Jak and Chie. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE] http://img.imgcake.com/finegifdy.gif |
The real question, though, is who do you think pulls second place: Squirtle or Pikachu? --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
XIII_rocks posted... Wait so Daven's rally topics getting deleted is now being called a "fluke"? I thought that was a specific directive from the mods of the LoL subreddit and would carry on into the match with Mewtwo? Was my understanding, people seem to be disregarding it for no real reason. Someone was saying the OP deleted the thread but we saw the mod comments on it and new threads getting deleted after so I'm not sure why they'd think that. |
If it was a night match only how much would Samus beat Tifa 1vs1? I guess in a 24 hour match it is around 55-45. --- 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~ |
I
think another part of why unrallied (well, not-extensively reddit
rallied at the time anyways) Draven was still so "strong" was having an
obsessive fanbase. The site as a whole doesn't care about him and didn't
even know who he was, but the nature of the game and League of Legends
staying in the Top 10 list for so long should indicate a resilient
minority fanbase. I'd guess unrallied Draven's percent floor and ceiling
are closer than just about anyone in the contest. Also wow, League of Legends' average review score on this site is terrible. It has a 6.6. For comparison, Devil May Cry 2 has a 7.0, Suikoden IV has a 6.7, Paper Mario Sticker Star has a 6.4, Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon has a 6.2 (should be slightly higher; I know several are troll/alt reviews which I could point out if they weren't by friends and I didn't think it was funny). It's down there with games widely disliked by their own series's fanbase. It's not Diablo III or Sonic 2006-levels of bad, but it's only one step up. Didn't average review score used to be one of the factors used to screen out joke entrants from games contests? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

creativename posted... So...yeah. Draven winning needed an act of god (or satan!) to win. In addition to absurd admin bias. Well that's one way for them to drop Draven Tell them he won over Link only because lord Teemo (who they call Satan) willed it :) --- Hentai? I didn't ask for hentai. I asked for anime, you moron. *clicks and downloads* - Hayato118 |
snoocete posted... Well that's one way for them to drop Draven replace Draven with Teemo every other update when they complain about the blatant sabotage, just tell them if people really wanted to vote for Draven, they'd just wait 5 minutes |
Any pics for the next match yet? Seems late. |
If Pikachu SFFs Squirtle (and he will since water's weak to electric), we'll get Crono > Cloud. Sounds about right! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Also, T/F: Squirtle SFFs Charmander, Charmander SFFs Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur SFFs Squirtle! e: Not in the same match, of course, that would be silly. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

spoilers: Allen is gonna mysteriously remove that requirement for LoL and only LoL for the next games contest yeah, but we're okay with that, right? --- Virtue - "You don't need a reason to Boko United." |
They'd all simultaneously SFF each other! It'd be the perfect situation for Guybrush Threepwood to win with 60% of the vote! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
40/40/20 match, with Bulbasaur being the 20 because lmao who even cares --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
FFDragon posted... I thought base draven was weaker than Jak In his first match, he was. He was definitely stronger in the very brief glimpse we saw of him in that round 2 match before the rallies kicked in. He was doing better on Ryu than he was doing on Jak. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/477513/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-1-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view/477534/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-2-o.gif |

Match CXVI: (6) Vivi vs. (2) Squall Leonhart vs. (4) Pokemon Trainer Red Previous Round Vivi 41.27% Mario 41.09% Ganondorf 17.64% Squall Leonhart 39.38% Missingno 35.81% Amaterasu 24.81% Pokemon Trainer Red 51.58% Urdnot Wrex 27.30% Wario 21.12% Analysis Pokemon is so lucky in this contest when it comes to bracket placement. Mario was supposed to be here and Missingno had a decent chance at reaching the third round yet Red is treated with two Square characters and is the favourite to reach the next round. Pokemon fans do not seem to care if their rallies essentially screw them in the next round so I expect a push from Red. Squall fans must be upset; they could have been the ones upsetting Mario in this match had Vivi not stolen his thunder and now he risks getting LFF to death. I would take Squall to win over Red in a fair match, but with Vivi I doubt he will have the power. I doubt Squall will be able to SFF Vivi to the extent he did to Tidus in 2006 because Vivi is a bit of a fan favourite. Besides even pulling off that much SFF may not be enough to pull the upset. Should Vivi get rallied again I can see him winning over Squall, but I doubt the rallying will be enough to place him over Red. Squall will not fold so easily and I doubt fans will jump ship from Squall to Vivi even if Vivi gets a rally. I guess you could make a case for any of the characters to win, but I feel confident Red will be able to pull off the win. Only reason I could see him losing would be because fans know that two Pokemon entrant next round would be the end of them, but that did not stop both Squirtle and Pikachu to reach the next round where they will face against Solid Snake. charmander6000s Bracket: Mario > Squall Leonhart and Pokemon Trainer Red charmander6000s Prediction: Pokemon Trainer Red 39.53%, Squall Leonhart 35.67%, Vivi 24.80% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 137/216 Today's Pick: Samus Aran |
I don't think Red advancing hurts Pokemon because Zard wasn't beating Samus anyway. So Pokemon fans don't need to forward think or anything. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Samus is looking pretty bad against Tifa, at the very least Charizard would have a chance --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 137/216 Today's Pick: Samus Aran |
How does this look bad at all? Isn't Tifa Vincent level? ...oh --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Even if Tifa was Cloud
level this isn't the kind of performance that would make me say that
Samus is safe against a random Pokeymanz. Samus/Squall/Charizard is a
nonzero chance for Charizard. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Also, match pics still not up yet. Hope Bacon didn't forget! --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |
Has to wait until the last minute so people don't see that he used smiling Squall in every single pic. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

"My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
Yeah, real even pics. Guess Red isn't seen to need the help. Vivi is gonna be a ridiculous drain on Squall, anyway. I could see Vivi > Squall before Squall > Red (though I expect the standard Red > Squall > Vivi pick). --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Here's hoping only the pokemons have solid backing and their trainers are left to dust Vivi ftw! --- Hentai? I didn't ask for hentai. I asked for anime, you moron. *clicks and downloads* - Hayato118 |
Eh,
I'd be kind of surprised if Vivi beat Squall, even if he gets rallied.
The gap between Squall and Vivi isn't that much smaller than the gap
between Tidus and Squall (historically anyway), and that's indirectly. We already saw how tough it was for Missingno to close that gap. Any rally Vivi gets has to counteract whatever SFF Squall lays on him because the site isn't going to abandon the stronger FF character to support Vivi. They're not going to know anything about outside rallies, so yeah, whatever rally power Vivi gets is going to have to counteract the SFF before he even starts to close the indirect gap. I mean, it COULD happen. Any result here wouldn't really surprise me TOO much other than Red getting last. --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |
If Squall wins here I would almost say it was a great contest. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
This
is a disaster for the FF fans. Both scenarios are horrible - a rallied
Vivi isn't going anywhere because Squall is a monster and won't fold,
whilst Vivi certainly isn't weak enough even in base form for Squall to
stop the Red juggernaut. Can't see beyond Red unless Vivi gets utterly
abandoned, which is hard to envisage. Greyfeld posted... The real question, though, is who do you think pulls second place: Squirtle or Pikachu? With RallyFAQs, who knows? Squirtle's probably favourite. In terms of base strength though, I think Pikachu could still be stronger; he's shown genuine strength repeatedly in contests, and is dangerous to almost anyone with good placement. Up against another pokemon, though, he's probably more susceptible since he shares Kirby et al's advantage of standing out like hell in nearly every match he's in; an advantage he won't have against Squirtle. ...think I just talked myself into Squirtle > Pikachu (but Pika is probably stronger indirectly). What d'you reckon Greyfeld? |
I'd take Pikachu > Squirtle in terms of base strength, but in that match? Who knows. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Red is a juggernaut? Looking at Pikachu/Blue I get the feeling that the trainers aren't as much of a threat as the actual pokes. --- Hentai? I didn't ask for hentai. I asked for anime, you moron. *clicks and downloads* - Hayato118 |
Yeah, it's possible Red isn't quite as rallyable as the normal Pokemon. Like I said yesterday, I think Squall has enough of a strength advantage over Red to win even with Vivi here, but it'll come down to RallyFAQs, I think. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
And how much actual SFF Squall is able to apply, which is the main issue here. Can't see him being able to get the 70/30 split he got on Tidus in 2006. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
If Squall is close, I'll have to vote Red. Hopefully Red doesn't need the help and I can vote Vivi. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Alright Squall, time to save my bracket! --- you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day |
lightning are you going to rally Vivi again? Please say yes --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. |
I'm picking Red > Squall. Obviously this is just so I can have a red number next to Red's name. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
JJH777 posted... lightning are you going to rally Vivi again? Please say yes you people this is why Red is going to win --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
