The worst part about Mewtwo not getting buried in Round 2 is that Chester now looks marginally stronger.

oh man, is there any chance now that Chester won't end up in the bottom of the stats?

I like that the ad is at the top of the page. It's a nice concession to that idea to run the poll itself on each page or whatever, it brings more people's attention to the contest without being obtrusive. It does kind of suck that this wasn't happening when Link had his match, but I do kinda get the sense that this is a response to that and another way to lessen the rally impact from outside places. Allen definitely wanted Link to go down, though, probably to spice up the contest. Just make Link's near win that much more impressive - literally everything against him and he still gets with a few hundred votes. True champion!

Kind of pisses me off that Allen is without a doubt thinking about how "smart" he is right now since Draven is losing. This banner is a great idea but it changes everything and he was the only one who knew about it. Then draven's rally topic got deleted 5 minutes before the match as well..


If Allen wins the Expert challenge.....

I was THE FIRST person to call Mewtwo winning this contest. I did it a few days ago. You heard it there, first!

I may have to revise those predictions to include Mega Man, though!

You guys are fools if you think Mewtwo's got this.

Draven was able to repel Link, he got the biggest rally ever against MMX and Ryu...hell even in Round 1 he pulled off an insane swing in no time flat.

I want Mewtwo to win, badly, but a note of caution please. Lot of egg on faces if Draven comes back.

And there's the first cut.

Mewtwo can win this contest if he gets through this match. Everything has changed. Even Snake isn't 100% safe.

EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER LEFT IN THE BRACKET (except lol Sephiroth) HAS A REALISTIC CHANCE OF WINNING THE CONTEST.

I'm actually really pissed right now. You can't change things like that mid-contest.

If the banner existed, Link beats Draven, Mario crushes Vivi, and Sonic might have even beaten Mewtwo. This, this just isn't cool. I love the idea. But this is essentially changing the format mid-contest unannounced. That's a huge no-no.


I don't see the problem, it's not like he did it midround.


You don't think this would have changed expert picks if we had known before the match/contest?

Yeah, but now people might not remember Link's performance for the ALL TIME GREATEST EVER that it truly was!

And that would be terrible!

None of them had a banner posted on the website that everyone visiting sees though. LoL Reddit is obviously much bigger than our normal voterbase but it isn't bigger than all gamefaqs traffic. Though then again Draven just cut..

To be fair, I don't think the banner changes much. It blends in too much with the top of the web page, and is way too easy to overlook. I wouldn't have even noticed it if somebody else hadn't mentioned it, first.

Draven will probably be strong for the first hour or so, people who saw the rally, people who now vote for Draven because of their expert or because of the bandwagon.

Doubt it's gonna be enough though, I expect him to fall flat on his face after this early burst, when people who just vote for their favorite become the majority.

We'll have to wait until Snake's match to get an idea of whether this helps vote totals. Today's match isn't a good barometer for testing out the banner effect, just because of the extreme level of rallying here.

Bacon being out to defeat Link has been pretty obvious. GotD, Link vs Santa on christmas eve, Rivalry Rumble, this contest bracket with a mario/snake/link or mario/cloud/link final setup perfectly. All attempts to have Link lose.

Mewtwo has this. Even if a rally gets through, it's going to be nowhere near as strong as last round. Plus, Link's fallen, so there's no drive to make him lose. I can see Draven taking the lead overnight, but he'll fall during the day just like he did last round.
