-LusterSoldier- posted... _SecretSquirrel posted...How the hell do you even do xstats while removing the winner? I guess, but you still need Draven to get those values on his third of the division. I suppose you don't have to list him.... Wait, that's it. We just Chris Benoit him and refer to the 1st place finisher as Reddit. That'll do. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

This
is going to be a very sad stretch--nay, it already is. Even though it
was bad for my bracket--a Sora win would've given me the lead among
Charizard pickers and therefor allowed me to rally for Squirtle >
Snake > Sora to kill the threat of Snake winning it all--I was so
happy at waking up and seeing Pikachu dominate that I tried to go
downstairs with Pikachu on my shoulder or neck. (I dressed as Ash
Ketchum for Halloween when I was 10; still have the stuffed Pikachu.) --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

Yet Hitler was a real person. If I picked a guy "too close to reality" then it doesn't matter what the pairing is. He's too real to count. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake.

One
more thing on Link's ability to siphon rally votes vs. X/Ryu: the rally
thread making it to r/all in R2 but not R3 is very significant. We
would expect a substantially higher backfire percentage from r/all
voters than r/lol voters. Which could explain X and Ryu's very high 12
hour votals. After all, stronger characters than those 2 are only
getting 45k in 24 hours now, --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Kinglicious posted... DoctorJimmy133 posted...Kinglicious posted...Lu Bu isn't even the example that should be used. Hitler is. Fact is it was... Well Hitler with some superpowers. But he was Hitler in every way there. I don't understand your point. Adolf Hitler was only a valid entry in the contest because of his rival. It wasn't about about the characters involved, it was about the rivalries. There is no double standard. I don't think you would be able to nominate Hitler for a Character Battle. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |

Mewtwo
is never going to make a comeback attempt. Sephiroth is going to win
more updates on Mewtwo in the rest of this match than Mewtwo will win
updates over Draven. Assuming Link/Draven/Shepard ends at 130k votes without the downtime, and knowing Gamefaqs matches bring in around 45k without rallying, that yields about 65% of the total votes coming from rallying. Link's path to victory was that he was probably winning on Gamefaqs something like 70-20-10 (the 10 being Draven). The rallied votes were probably going something like 65-35-0 for Draven. This match the rallied votes are probably going more like 80-20-0, and the Gamefaqs votes something like 45-45-10. (Seph will likely end up fairly close to Mewtwo percentagewise, and he's clearly getting far fewer rally votes, so it makes sense he's doing okay with the natural votes). --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough.

Draven is building on his lead twice as quickly now as he was on Link at this point. This is over. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Singerton posted... A CoroCoro leak has never been needed more than now. It won't help Pokemon fans don't even care one tenth of how much LoL fans do |
Kinglicious posted... ...Hitler was literally in the contest. Nothing to try again there. He was in, he was valid, he's the bottom. If he's so bad then fact is the contest allows things that bad. Being in the polls as Adolf changes nothing there. I don't see your argument here. The Hitler from wolfenstein was in the rivalry rumble. And yet "Hitler" remains a terrible argument, even if he was characterized in a game. Hitler is not a reason why Barkley should be in a character contest. If Charles Barkley knew he "should be included in a vgc contest because Hitler was" I don't think he'd take that as a mark of pride. At all. If I were Barkley I'd take it as an insult. Frankly, in my eyes, anyone who says Barkley should be eligible because Hitler got in is f***ing insane. "Because Hitler" IS NEVER AN ACCUSE Or A Justification. "Because Hitler" was !essentially! considered a war crime for German troops post-WWII. Seriously, if you can't make an argument without bringing up Hitler... YOU DON'T HAVE AN ARGUMENT. --- SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too. |
red sox 777 posted... This match the rallied votes are probably going more like 80-20-0, and the Gamefaqs votes something like 45-45-10. (Seph will likely end up fairly close to Mewtwo percentagewise, and he's clearly getting far fewer rally votes, so it makes sense he's doing okay with the natural votes). The GameFAQs votes were probably like 20-50-30 based on how Sephiroth was cutting into Draven's lead during the time when there were no active rally topics on the LoL subreddit. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Nah,
there's no time in this match that wasn't being impacted by rallies.
There were rally topics popping up and being deleted all day yesterday,
and a very big one that got enough steam to hit r/all before the match
began. There was ambient traffic from those rallies all through this
match. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Red Shifter posted... can we have an x-stats with draven removed from it and call those the real x-stats With all the LFF, SFF, bandwagoning, rallies - x-stats would serve no purpose whatsoever. Unless you just want them for humor purposes to see absurdities! With the low vote totals we have now and rallies being so big, I think even in a 1v1 x-stats will never be useful again. Back in the day with high vote totals, almost everything was extremely linear. Even FF7 was very linear because anti-votes were drowned out. Even in the early 4-ways, things were mainly linear except for SFF/LFF cases. Now, everything is basically completely random and totally non-linear. Entropy always increases, they say. That's what's happened to our contests - they've gone to chaos! The arrow of time does not go backwards... --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

In fairness that was magic dual Gatling gun wielding robot piloting Hitler, who is a sizeable departure. Anyway, now that Reddit avatar has the lead, I am going to stop caring. I am just going to go about my day, and ignore the rest of the match. I have other things to do. I will go and do them and not let a fun hobby being ruined detract from that. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

creativename posted... ChichiriMuyo posted...Seriously, if you can't make an argument without bringing up Hitler... You still don't have an argument. If Charles Barkley heard he was in a contest because Hitler was in a contest he'd be mortified. NO ONE. Absolutely NO ONE wants their legitimacy compared to the legitimacy of Hitler. Ever. Even if you love Charles Barkley and think his vg character's exclusion is the worst thing ever you still don't wan't to compare Barkley to Hitler I'm dumbfounded here... I do not understand how you and others can possibly hold the argument you do. To compare even fictionalized versions of Hitler to fictionalized versions of Charles Barkley is down right insulting. I don't care who got into what contest, no one should ever be compared to Hitler. It's just bad taste. It's just plain insulting. And, more than that, It's usually dishonest to an extreme degree. --- SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too. |

Jesus,
Chich. The fact that the fictionalized version of a person happens to
be Adolf Hitler is irrelevant here, and no one is comparing Barkley to
Hitler. Nobody is f***ing Godwin's lawing this argument and using
Hitler for any other reason except for the fact that he was the person
precedent was set with. Think of it this way. All seople are saying is
"Hey, one fictionalized version of a real life person got in, this
should mean that other fictionalized versions of real people can get in
too, like this version of Charles Barkley!" --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsbvaQcuW9k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3EAmdg3xls |

I'm not trying to be overly literal here, but ffs someone should make a better argument than "Hitler." I could make 12 better arguments myself. You're smart enough to make 30 arguments in place of "Hitler." No one should have ever made "Hitler" an argument to begin with. That guy was a troll. We should all, as a group, agree to have better arguments than "Hitler." But if that's the best argument one person will put forward, I'm going to call that person out for what they are. --- SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too. |

Why
are you being harsh on it just because the example happens to be
Hitler. Sounds like you're letting emotions get in the way of logic. If
it was anyone else in that position besides Hitler and people made the
same argument, would you even bat an eyelash? Sounds like you're being
biased. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
