I just posted this poll topic related to the possibility of Draven being in a bonus match: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/67213713 --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
see guys? the way Mewtwo's performing, Draven's run over Link isn't gonna mean jack **** lol --- http://i.imgur.com/GhorUQg.jpg ~Masa |
HurricaneManning posted... Link vs Draven with no reddit rally threads would be pointless. Link lost by 750 votes through a rally killing downtime and multiple huge surges during the day. He'd run Draven into the ground like the terrible meme he is. There's been enough epic matches for me in this contest, and if Draven falls this round then the finals are shaping up to be really fun. When all that's over, I want to see Link at his full, unhindered strength. Hell....I want Allen to lift the rallying restriction for that match, and that match only. Unhindered rallying Draven vs. Link with a site-wide banner. I wouldn't even care if he lost again, just so we could see him let loose for a final time before he gets retired. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
But seriously is there a Mewtwo rally somewhere? The reddit ones were deleted, right? --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
IngmarBirdman posted... Butthurt is just more dumb internet vernacular. Like if things don't go your way and someone on the internet calls it "butthurt" - the real world expression for that is being a sore loser. I heard the word butthurt for the first time when I was in elementary school over a decade and a half ago. You should seriously consider not being stupid this late at night. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
creativename posted... It's amazing how desperately these LoL people care about this contest more than people who've been following them for 10 years!! When all is said and done I want to go to their subreddit and ask them this. Pity it'd just get deleted. They have no excuse, no possible explanation. We care about our contest mythology and we were sad when it looked like Reddit would destroy it. They cared about ensuring we were "buttfurious"...and they cared so much more than we did all along. I don't think it's wrong to care, not necessarily. But when they criticised us for it so much... --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
No way Link gets retired after this contest. That'd be a joke! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Question: did the LoLers ever rally on the game's official forums, or is that not allowed over there either? --- FFIXOwner Bracket: 169/243 Expert: 648 (lol?) |
Yeah, that would be kind of ridiculous. Have to let Link win another contest before you think of retiring him! |
Reddit
shutting down rallies before the finals is REALLY good for my bracket.
I don't care why it happened, I just hope the Pokemon come back down to
earth as well. Still, shadiness or not, this has been THE most
enjoyable contest ever. I can't wait for the next one :) --- SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too. |
Sephiroth getting close to cutting Mewtwo. Will he do it? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
How
does the scoring work for this round? Assume that
Mewtwo>Sephiroth>Draven pans out, how many points do I gain on
people that picked Draven>Mewtwo>Sephiroth? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
The Owner of FF9 posted... Question: did the LoLers ever rally on the game's official forums, or is that not allowed over there either? The games official forum had a thread where RIOT themselves had agreed to hand out points to anyone who voted for Draven, as long as Draven won. I think they were fine with it. |
ZFS posted... No way Link gets retired after this contest. That'd be a joke! literally won't even be in the top 50 of the x-stats, time to retire him --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
The Owner of FF9 posted... Question: did the LoLers ever rally on the game's official forums, or is that not allowed over there either? A little bit. Even got a dev to comment on it. Not as big as Reddit rallies, as far as I know. --- The official OnionOfMystery of Reality. "Vaan is like a Robin in a universe composed entirely of Batmans." |
The Owner of FF9 posted... Question: did the LoLers ever rally on the game's official forums, or is that not allowed over there either? There is a rally on the official forums. But like it was pointed out during Link/Draven, it was only 4% of the vote compared to Reddit's 38% or something. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Zinganger posted...
Riot didn't make that topic. That was just some random dude --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
KamikazePotato posted... How does the scoring work for this round? Assume that Mewtwo>Sephiroth>Draven pans out, how many points do I gain on people that picked Draven>Mewtwo>Sephiroth? uh you're going to shoot to the top of the leaderboard, that's a 324 point swing |
KamikazePotato posted... How does the scoring work for this round? Assume that Mewtwo>Sephiroth>Draven pans out, how many points do I gain on people that picked Draven>Mewtwo>Sephiroth? 81/54/27 You'd get +162, they'd get -162. 324 point swing! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Lopen posted... Zinganger posted... Really? I thought I heard different. Guess I was wrong. Either way, Riot themselves were fine with rallies on their site. |
Jesus. I can only hope that other people weren't as exceedingly luc- I mean, smart as I was. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
BK_Sheikah00 posted... The Owner of FF9 posted...Question: did the LoLers ever rally on the game's official forums, or is that not allowed over there either? I don't know who came to that number or how, but it actually feels like a legit number. The official forums aren't remotely as strong of a community as the LoL Reddit community. --- SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too. |
From: Lopen | #287 Seph vs Draven isn't an interesting match any more. Seph vs Mewtwo is where it's at (why are Mewtwo's vote totals still so high-- I guess he found some of Draven's stuffers) Mewtwo gets anti-Draven *and* anti-FF7 antivotes, I'd guess, plus whatever pokemon vote comes from the site banner? --- -.. --- - ... / .- -. -.. / -.. .- ... .... . ... |

It wasn't Riot They posted in that topic but it was a random dude He gave 4 pre paid card,10$ each We care about those contest but I don't think we ever used real money to alter results |
ChichiriMuyo posted... BK_Sheikah00 posted...The Owner of FF9 posted...Question: did the LoLers ever rally on the game's official forums, or is that not allowed over there either?

Those stats are straight from Allen. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
I
was calling Mewtwo benefiting a ton from rallies plus
anti-Draven/Sephiroth votes. I had no way of knowing Draven would be
shut down entirely though. Mewtwo was just in the right place for this
match. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
ChichiriMuyo posted... BK_Sheikah00 posted...The Owner of FF9 posted...Question: did the LoLers ever rally on the game's official forums, or is that not allowed over there either? Alleb posted traffic to the poll The LoL forum was 4.8% of the icoming Traffic |
as for where MM/Zero/Charizard ranks in these things... Link/Draven(/Shepard) is hard to top. Vivi/Mario is up there but this one is better. that one was more shocking, however it still involved a guy going in between SFF to win it. this had a guy overcome it and the last 30 minutes were nothing short of amazing. you can easily make a case for those 30 minutes being the best ones this contest has ever had and your only competition will be Mario vs. Crono 2. this though, being 100% straight and full of "he's done. 58 votes down, under 20 minutes left, it's over" followed by two updates later him exploding back into the lead? incredible. the advantage to the match wasn't just Mega Man vs. card carrying member of the now most dominant force of rallying, but the fact that it was Mega Man vs. that guy vs. Zero. it was a formula that's cost him TWICE in the past and Pokemon has a habit of winning close matches, so it seemed textbook. but he overcame everything to win the match. there are some points to this match which exceed Link/Draven. that one wins out due to drama and the mess that followed afterwards, don't get me wrong, and Link's two comebacks are absolutely incredible feats. but Mega Man actually succeeded where no other has in the match where he finally overcame his weakness. there's value to that success story. top 5 match for sure. Link/Draven and Mario vs. Crono 2 are just full of drama. as far as a straight match goes, without the BS surrounding it, i'd rank it as first with a goddamn bullet. including drama, don't know. it's tougher there. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
ZFS posted... No way Link gets retired after this contest. That'd be a joke! You mean it would be a joke for anyone to go up against him in a fair fight, right? Because it would be, honestly. Unless Allen decides from now on to specifically handicap Link for the purpose of making it fun for everyone (which isn't a horrible idea if it's stated openly and up front), he's proven with the Draven match that he's untouchable when it comes to this site's traffic. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |

Ok,
the new question is, did Devin Morgan make the safe pick of Draven >
Mewtwo, or was he in on Allen's secret plan? Because if he gets it
right, then nearly everyone above him who picked Draven is gonna miss
out on that 10 karma bonus. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Seph's cut about an 8th of Draven's peak lead on him. At this rate he might make it! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
XIII_rocks posted... They cared about ensuring we were "buttfurious"...and they cared so much more than we did all along. I don't think it's wrong to care, not necessarily. But when they criticised us for it so much... I'm confused by this "buttfurious" word of theirs. What does that mean...? I mean you have "butthurt" which is a homophobic slur type of word, but at least it makes sense. But "buttfurious"...like..what could that possibly even mean?? And how old do you have to be to use a word like that? I'm sure I'd be greatly disappointed to find people using this word are much older than I would like to think. Karma Hunter posted... ZFS posted...No way Link gets retired after this contest. That'd be a joke! Exactly, Link has joke level strength, why retire such a wimp? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Guys, how do we know that it was SBAllen who asked for the rally threads to be stopped? Maybe it was....Devin Morgan! Just look how far behind he is in the Expert Challenge, maybe he picked Mewtwo for first and asked the rallies to be stopped so he can the jump on everyone else! --- Behold my early copy of The Wonderful 101, autographed by Hideki Kamiya: http://i.imgur.com/ZBfWtcU.jpg?1 |

Wanglicious posted... as for where MM/Zero/Charizard ranks in these things... Agreed. I wasn't here for Mario/Crono 2, unfortunately...but yeah. We're not talking about MM/Zard very much because of the Draven drama, but damn we need to look back after the contest is over and realize how amazing that ending was. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
From: 1337gamerpr0 | #337 oh snap Devin gonna go from 500+ points behind everyone to cutting the gap in half He's literally going to pass me if he gets Mewtwo today. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |

As for all time contest matches. Mario/Crono II is the reigning champion for me. I briefly put Link/Draven ahead but that was in the middle of the match so I'm walking that back. Link/Draven is 2nd though. After that it's really a lot harder. Magus/Knuckles is a strong contender for being the original "what the ****" upset. Crono/Vincent 2008 is also way up there and pretty much the only match from the 4-way era I remember with any fondness. LttP/CT was a lot of fun, as was Frog/Chief. Too many to choose from at this tier really! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Sephiroth
is going to start cutting soon. Assuming he can take out 600-750 votes
during the TDZ, what do we think? Can he outstrip Mewtwo by 3K during
the day? Probably not, right? |
Agreed
with JC... this contest has been amazing, no matter how it came to be.
The drama has been turned up to 11, the upsets have been from far left
field, it's quite simply been the best contest ever for overall
entertainment value. It stuns me to see people complain about this
contest given how enjoyable it has been for me. --- SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too. |

Yeah that was one heck of a heroic performance by Mega Man. I thought he had virtually no chance, was sooo happy that Xuxon was correct and I was wrong! ^_^ The Vivi and Mega Man wins were probably the two best moments of the contest. Both defied all odds against "clutch" forces that were seen as unbeatable, and out-clutched them. As a match, MM/Zero/Zard has to be the top match this contest. Not top match all-time - we've had some terrific matches. But definitely #1 this contest. Funny thing, I don't think he'll win, but Mega Man *is* the winner we deserve. He'd be the actual "plucky underdog" story. I mean NO ONE would have imagined Mega Man would be in contention to win the contest. And I don't think even Snake and Samus fans would be upset if he won. I mean...how can you be mad at Mega Man? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

It stuns me to see people complain about this contest given how enjoyable it has been for me. This is the only time I think there's ever been a completely serious question of legitimacy. Where things have been not only passed over by mods, but directly and heavily influenced. It's certainly been hilarious from an outsider perspective, but there is plenty of reason to be angry or dissatisfied. --- The official OnionOfMystery of Reality.

For
reference, Sephiroth cut over 4400 votes from this point against
Missingno until noon. Votals are a bit lower this match, but Sephy has
all day. I don't think this is over yet. |
