I am still cautiously optimistic in Sephiroth getting 2nd! He can only improve from here!


I need those goddamn points Sephiroth


I went with Seph > Mewtwo > Draven because it was my only chance left to leapfrog the people that are already 200 points ahead.

Well, I guess I might beat Devin now...

If you see a draven thread you just need to look at the sidebar on the right, go to moderators, click message the moderators and post the link of the thread in the title and why it should be deleted.

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.


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..


True.

But remember, those obsessively making rally threads can and will move on to other sources. IE, that bribe thread from the Link match.

Why are the rallies getting deleted all of a sudden in this match, but not the previous ones?


They either got told by a higher up that they didn't want it cluttering their boards, or... you know, I don't really know.

Feel bad for all the Draven expert pickers.

Probably because they are sick of it
Which is why I said that the 4th round is the best chance to take him down
In the finals it would be "oh,last match? ok let's let it slide"

Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place
Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32
#262 | Team Rocket Elite (Moderator) | Posted 9/10/2013 9:17:58 PM | message detail
It's a bit hit or miss at the top but Mega Man has a fair bit of support. While the top tiers are in the 20s and 30s, the casuals kicked out ass and had prediction percentage in the 60s. This is another one of those matches where contest knowledge hurt us.

22 people fell off the top 49. scaryice, DoctorBIind, Hagankefs, AtmaZeroX, Bane_Of_Despair, GreatGen, KingKracko, Miner22, TheKoolAidShoto, ecksgem, Eikei, ffplayerVII, Greenmonkey034, Leebo86, SockoDeus, SockoressKnight, SuorGenoveffa, Colegreen_c12, DanKirby, fortybelowsumme, fpce666 and ahirsch101 did not have Mega Man winning.

7 people got it wrong and survived. Former third place RRRamos95, dimi161, Xcarvenger, Tirofog, Axl_Rose_85, Kibago and Not_Dave also did not have Mega Man winning.

Y'know, I'm not saying Squirtle and Mewtwo are stronger than Charizard.

But I am saying that everything is pointing in that direction. >_>


I don't think there's any doubt about this. Charizard is a step below, that was super apparent when he needed a last minute rally to beat Zelda!


Isn't that just the weirdest thing ever, though? Charizard was the fan favorite in Gen 1. Everybody wanted a Charmander when they started the game. Everybody wanted a Charizard card. None of the other starters even held a candle.

Mewtwo is one of the best Pokemon ever though, so I can dig it!

Only way for Mewtwo to win is if Draven fans get tired of their rallies getting deleted, but they seem to be relentless.

Some of those people care about this match more than we do.

Yeah I'm rooting for Draven. Snake winning would probably be the worst result of the contest because he would have completely lucked into it. I'd much rather have Draven win on the shoulders of LoL supporters than having someone fall ass-backwards into it.
