The saddest thing about Hitler is that had he died in 1939 he would have gone down as an amazing leader who saved Germany's economy.

I just woke up and I check the results.
1)Charizard lost? Okay I will find as many people as I can to anti vote for MM in his match.
2)Sephiroth is getting killed here. I understand that everyone went behind Mewtwo in order to beat Draven but man.
3)Draven isn't that far ahead. But I read that Mewtwo was ahead by 2000 votes? That is amazing. Rallies really help. I hope if Draven wins to beat the final too that looks like Snake will be there. But I hope Red is there instead of Samus or MM too.

OK, if we stop using Hitler as an argument and start using Lu Bu, will you stop talking?


No, I won't stop talking. But I will be less annoying. Is that acceptable?


Not hard for you to be less annoying than that diatribe. Christ.


Coming from you, I take that as a compliment. I really, honestly had respect for you once. You seem to have literally pissed it away. Even if I'm being annoying in my current argument, you're being annoying in even posting on b8. Your vitriol is toxic and it doesn't belong here.

... At the expense of the Jews. I mean, people seem to totally forgot this fact, but... the economic growth in Germany at the time is directly linked to the money Hitler stole directly from the Jewish population...

But I guess some people on B8 just don't get that...

US probably about to flip for Draven soon. Pretty much a West/East split here!

Just shows you how legitimate winner he is
He was in the way to finish with 25% or less
#218 | Safer_777 | Posted 9/11/2013 2:32:43 AM | message detail
At least in some countries Sephiroth is ahead. That is a moral victory! Okay I think he will finish by less than 15%. Man worst defeat ever.

Sephiroth isn't going under 15% - he's not going down nearly as quickly as Mewtwo, and the rally's gonna peter off more. Still a grisly loss, but eh, everyone got behind Mewtwo here.

Yeah, I gave reddit way too much credit.

Did Mewtwo have a rally? Impressive numbers, even if it'd be meaningless in the end.

Sephiroth just keeps coming so close to a cut.

#224 | -LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/11/2013 2:50:19 AM | message detail
He could still get a cut after the morning vote starts. It's just that Mewtwo is getting a small portion of the rallied voters that refuse to vote for Draven. And I can't see the rally helping Sephiroth at all. If the rally loses steam later on or the rally topic gets deleted, we could see Sephiroth get some cuts on Mewtwo.

Sephiroth will be remembered as a martyr,like Shepard
There is no bigger glory than that
Well aside from beating Draven but it's out of the question
I don't even think we need to consider if we vote for Samus/Snake/Megaman and who we abandon
#226 | xp1337 | Posted 9/11/2013 3:01:04 AM | message detail
Not really! Sephiroth is just... pretty irrelevant here! But then so is Mewtwo, so there is that.

Sephiroth is almost impossible to rally to non FF fans.

I'll be amazed if he finishes above 15%

Sephiroth shouldn't fall that far. That'd be where he was at the very beginning. Kind of doubt he falls all the way back there.

Yeah I can live with Sephiroth losing to reddit but getting stomped by Mewtwo is a pretty hard thing to swallow. If one of the two Pokemons (or both) beat Snake tomorrow, I'll promise myself to never care about contest results and only take brackets seriously in future contests.

Mewtwo was considered the favorite against Draven
Most anti Draven went for him,it doesn't mean anything

Also im so sad I wasn't quoted by anyone in the lol reddit

#234 | Yuri_LowelI | Posted 9/11/2013 3:19:22 AM | message detail
MEwtwo was not the favourite.

Also The early rallies for Mewtwo were good, but he doesn't even remotely have the base strength of a Link to be able to keep this close.

In fact Mewtwo's normal strength is quite weak.

Snake is a lock to reach the final match. BUT what about the 3rd finalist? We have 3 franchises. Megaman, Metroid and Pokemon. Now Pokemon are on fire as you can see. But MM and Samus are much stronger than Red of course. But if there are Pokemon rallies... What do you believe?

Pokemon rallies are weak as ****
The only reason Squirtle won was because Cloud Anti votes

They just don't care about this contest
**** them seriously worst fanbase in the world
Is it so hard to press on a link and vote? why must they be so annoying?
Yes im mad,but not at reddit- im mad at Pokemon fans that can't lift their fat finger to help
They can easily outnumber LoL players if they want
#238 | lightning-02 | Posted 9/11/2013 3:35:55 AM | message detail
Pokemon fans generally aren't children so the idea of winning any sites contests or epic raids aren't as appealing to them as it is to the LoL fanbase which is mostly teens.

At least on Serebii and Smogon, they don't like being told what to do by outsiders. If you advertise this match on either of those sites, they will either ignore you or they will vote Draven just to spite you. Besides that, on Serebii all rally topics get deleted because of advertising.
The only place you can rally Pokemon is on 4chan.

LoL has:

- Kids
- Competitive attitude
- Huge numbers

It's the dream rally setup, it doesn't matter what little bit pokemon or anything else can do nothing whatsoever can compete in a rally standoff.

/vp/ deletes all threads, only /v/ tolerates it and since Pokemon isn't eligible discussion on /v/ you'd have a hard time rallying for it. /b/ just don't seem to care in the slightest.

The problem is Mewtwo isn't going to be kid friendly. we needed Squirtle in this poll. HE would have done MUCH MUCH better.

Mewtwo is probably more kid friendly than Squirtle with the badass dark vibes going on. I certainly remember being 12 and everyone around me loving Mewtwo and Charizard, nobody would admit to liking Pikachu or Squirtle.

Not really, it seems like the LoL subreddit's the only place that can have a serious long term rally.

r/pokemon probably isn't as competitive/alpha-male as r/leagueoflegends, but they are a fairly big community, so it couldn't hurt, could it?

Someone pointed out yesterday that that down vote rally topics. You figure fan sites would throw some sort of support, but the whole 'outsiders can't tell us what to do' attitude kills rallies before they can get any sustained steam.

Anyway, trend chart:

Time | Mega | Zero | Charizard | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 39.38% | 11.25% | 49.38% | 160 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 40.38% | 19.33% | 40.28% | 6114 | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 38.47% | 20.37% | 41.16% | 10454 | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 38.64% | 19.13% | 42.22% | 6006 | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 39.74% | 21.10% | 39.16% | 11839 | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 40.62% | 21.02% | 38.36% | 13750 | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 44.78% | 12.75% | 42.47% | 5797 | (22:00-24:00)

For the record, here are the vote totals we've had for the last two hours of the match since we switched to 24 hours this round, just to give you an idea of how ridiculous the rallying here was:

Link/Shepard/Draven - 10008
Sonic/Mewtwo/Bowser - 2392
Sephy/Boss/Kirby - 2506
Snake/GlaDOS/Kefka - 2250
Cloud/Squirtle/Leon - 2777
Pikachu/Sora/Blue - 2727
Samus/Block/Tifa - 2441
Vivi/Squall/Red - 2416
MM/Zero/Zard - 5797

So yeah, while we weren't quite at Link/Draven levels, it was way above what we normally get! Poor Zero in those last two hours.

X-Stats:

Mega Man – 50.00%
Charizard – 49.97%
Zelda – 49.94%
Magikarp – 36.65%
Riku – 33.75%
