Maybe SBAllen thought it was okay to have things turn out this way since you guys got a professional wrestler to rally for Link last round? :<

You can still keep proclaiming that the character battle is real to you...

I've seen some insane conspiracy theories

I've followed the money on many occasions

but to think Allen manipulated the contest to see Link lose is by far one of the craziest things I have seen said on this board.


If it's true a GFaqs staff member talked to Reddit, explain why Allen did not do it after MMX/Ryu/Draven, when the rallying was at its absolute peak.

Seriously, everything he's done is slimy.

And now I'm even more pissed about losing the Guru because all of my potential picks would've been viewed by Allen as utter trolling. Characters, and we get more Touhou. Games, we get at the best Barkley: Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, if not something that's actually an advertisement game.

This would genuinely be... god it can't be the best match of the contest because of Link/Draven... but... easy Top 5 all time. Probably 3rd!

And I'm not one who cares much about the integrity of the results or whatever, but it's a little...questionable when we're talking about trying to make the number one character lose, then claim that the person who beat him probably isn't going to win.

This would have made Link's win all the better how can you vote against him again knowing this HERO

I'm absolutely "that person" who "cares." It's just I checked out a while ago when this all started because my interest was dealt a pretty mortal wound.

I'm just out having fun with the absurdity of it all!


Well, I mean, I prefer GameFAQs decide the winners and all that, and don't prefer rallies, but I'm game for anything within those rules! But yeah, I'm with you - this match isn't particularly exciting for me! MM's wasn't either, for that matter. DravenFAQs and Pokemon did this!!

Mewtwo is over 3000 votes on Sephiroth, which is about 5 times the lead that Missingno got before the comeback started. I doubt Mewtwo blows this lead.

Mewtwo is starting to really slow down, he was getting rally front-loaded too.

I know he's up by like 3,300 but if Sephiroth can put consistent cuts on him during the night, he should be able to win the day unless Mewtwo's much stronger than Squirtle.

Allen was actually really smart and gave us a gift in letting that Link/Draven match happen. I think he knew it could be the greatest match we ever had, and it was. We all wanted Link, and he at least was willing to let us have ultimate glory. It just didn't quite happen.

Now, he's saving our contests and letting our community take back what's ours, and now we get the most f***ed results in history. Maybe we'll get a Link bonus match out of it.

<3 Allen, and I plan to leave a feedback ticket telling him I think he's done a great job with this contest all things considered. He is a dude running a business while trying to appease us message board monkeys simultaneously, try to remember that.

Allen could have just retired Link. It's not like Link "needed to lose", plus his showing against unhindered Draven proves that no one else can touch him in a straight-up fight. If he really did manipulate things, that's really really slimy.

Of course...we would've missed out on the most insane contest performance of all-time...hell, I'm pretty sure Link ought to be retired for a while regardless of who wins this contest.




And this make Link vs. Draven bonus poll extremely likely IMO.

You know
I don't care. I don't care if Draven gets a rally that reach the 1st place of reddit for hours and he wins with 90% of the votes
This entire hour alone was enough to let me feel like "we win"
Watching about 50 different users trying to rally for Draven and getting shot down left and right was so ****ing awesome
All of their cries about the mods deleting those threads not being fair,COMPLAINING that WE bribed the mods to delete those threads

They totally forget that they said we care too much,they forgot they said "we just post a topic,and click on it and vote and forget about this contest. we don't really care"
They totally forged that they bribed with pre-paid RP cards

Again-I don't care..let Draven win this now. *WE* already won

Did he, though? Link winning doesn't necessarily make the result of those results impossible. Pokemon gonna Pokemon and all that. He should just be retired, and then face the winner after the contest, not made to lose. I mean, the excuse for not rerunning the poll was that it was too favorable to Link but yet!

I know I took Draven>Mewtwo>Seph (the safe pick) and I assume most people in the top 25 did too. There is little reason to do anything else when some more statistically close matches are up. If Allen does have mewtwo he'll most likely be number 1.

Right now I'm gonna give Mewtwo the edge in the final. Snake has just been doing what's expected of him. No surprising wins or close battles, just him moseying along. Mega Man just had a close win, and I'm sure that he and Samus are going to have a tight battle. Mewtwo, on the other hand, wasn't even supposed to get past Vincent, but then he beat Sonic and now Draven. He's going into the final with a huge bandwagon on him.

This is actually a really neat line of thought. I think suspicion wouldn't be falling so heavily on Allen in particular if he hadn't gone on the record saying he thought Draven would lose today after beating Link.

It's definitely up there, both in terms of closeness, along with how unexpected it was given recent Pokemon performances and the fact that Zero was there.

Quick, someone calculate Charizard's x-stat value based on the 2008 Snake vs MM/Zero results.
