Who are these people against a Snake win! This topic, and board in general, love Snake more than anyone else here! Is this what the Snake underdog syndrome looks like save us Link

I jumped to Snake once our hero Link went down.

I'll settle for any Noble Nine though! I just trust Snake more than Samus/Mega Man!

Now we need to rally for mewtwo to make this lead worth it, eventually the deleting mods will fall asleep.

2) WHOOOOO NOT-DRAVEN!!! Just don't want a site take-over.

3) WHOOOOO SBALLEN!!! Alerts give this "meaningless" contest a new sense of importance.

So assuming there are no Draven rallies, how low does Draven drop? Does he even get 25%?

You can't blame Snake for winning a dumb contest! Blame multiways, not Snake. When you make a crazy bracket with fanbase splitting situations cropping up everywhere you can't be surprised when the ultimate soldier sneaks through to victory.

But everyone against Snake I guess I can deal with that :/


Tactical Espionage Action to get to the finals. What else can you expect?


man
I really want to read your implosion when Snake beat Sephiroth back in 2010


Pretty sure I wished death on everyone here and got purgatory.

Mewtwo just be considered the hero that beat Draven he doesn't need to be a champion

And besides,we need to "fix" the xstats as much as possible

If we get a fourth place bonus, we get yet another Draven match. We need to lock him out entirely.

I think people are underestimating how f***ing amazing it would be for Solid Snake to win one of these things

Like is there any other (realistic) character that almost the entire board can unite behind so completely? Apart from Mega Man?

I'm half-rooting for Red to make the final and Mewtwo to beat Snake just so I have a small chance at winning the Guru. But hey, I'd love a Mega Man win! Hell, a Snake win would be well-earned at this point!

e: Actually, with that banner, I wouldn't win anyway thanks to the tiebreaker. Still gotta hope!

"were banned from making draven rallies but /r/pokemon isnt banned from mewtwo rallies
makes sense"


HMM... Link might know something about this!

Also, the only Mewtwo rallies I saw were made way before the match started. The top rally thread on r/pokemon is a freaking Red>Samus rally.


So ignorant as usual. There are still people who think that Mega Man's going to lose this, after what he just won? Zero should've been using series hierarchy to rSFF him, and we've already seen that the trainers aren't as strong as the Pokémon. You could maybe make a case for Samus > Mega Man > Red, but after that beastly performance, I doubt it.

Mega Man is winning this contest haven't you people realized this


I would be perfectly happy with that!


To KP--yes, I realize it.

To Not_Wylvane--I wouldn't! I mean, now that I no longer have my Guru on the line, I'd probably be happier with, well, pretty much whoever comes out of the second semifinal. Snake's probably my favorite remaining character, but Pikachu's close behind.

Mega Man's dead last. Has been ever since...um...the end of the Division 5 final? I pretty much genre-antivote anything to do with survival horror games, so I guess I'd take Mega Man over Leon Kennedy, but yeah. Mega Man was #26 out of the final 27 for me.

(Draven was #25.)

Man this doesn't make any sense to me. If GameFAQs gives him the most votes, I think he's earned the title of GameFAQs champion. He may not have any difficult matches until the last one, but so what?

We never really got a clean read on Draven's trends because of all the rallies. But in the match with Jak, it looked like Draven was gaining with the night vote before the rally kicked in around 3:00 AM. Draven's gains from 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM in the Jak match could have had some rallied votes during that time.

Fun fact: They all appear in the Super Smash Bros. Series but (from what we know atm) none of them appear in the same game together. Yeah Snake and Mewtwo could come back and have a good chance to but they aren't confirmed atm.

Well this has certainly been the most interesting hour of the contest.

First Charizard pulls off the most epic chokejob in contest history, up 58 votes with 4 updates to go, against Mega Man with *Zero* in the poll...and losing.

And now we have sheer chaos as Mewtwo has activated god-mode and Sephiroth is being Tanner'd.
