Rally thread down to 6th, will need scrolling to see it soon. Draven dropping a lot of percentage and peaked about an hour ago.
Mewtwo should start cutting soon. Much too late for anything to happen but interesting to see how much he pulls back as the rally fades away.
#353 | Safer_777 | Posted 9/11/2013 8:31:17 AM | message detail
So what this says about Mewtwo and Sephiroth? It seems that Mewtwo beats Sephiroth 1vs1 with more than 55%. I find that hard to believe. I know most people supported Mewtwo in order to be able to take down Draven but still.

Looks like there was a lot of fun last night.

I think this match more or less confirms that this is mostly rallying than stuffed votes (if there are still doubters). At this point you'd have to argue that the stuffer waited until after the mods unmodded the topic (which showed no signs of being reversed) which honestly pushes this towards crazy conspiracy theories.

Wonder which board 8er this was, but he failed pretty hard at trying to rally throughout the contest.

Fourth place match is confirmed on the pic submission page.


According to the pic submission page, we're also getting a bonus match right after the finals as well. This means I will attempt to work with Board 8 to come up with a bonus match idea for the fourth bonus match.

Well looks like I missed some really bad arguments last night. Phew!

Looks like this is not quite at Draven's true Ultimate Level of X/Ryu, but still more powerful than the Draven Link took on just by comparing the votals at this time. We may see something that surpasses the X/Ryu Draven in the finals, for obvious reasons.

Also it's hilarious how so many reddit users were crying over rallies being deleted, but now they're all gloating again. Contest has still been fun in some ways, but this is the worst flood of new users to a site I have ever seen.


its hilarious indeed the opening hour of the poll gamefaqs users or a large portion of them were the ones gloating now they are the ones crying hahaha love this


especially the fail moderator who couldnt read rules of the cbix before complaining to reddit

Using Mewtwo average votes per update (icluding the 3 minute and post freeze updates as 2 updates) if Draven gets 0 votes from now on,Mewtwo wins with about 4500 votes
Give Draven 40 votes per update,and Mewtwo will still lose

I just saw the Mewtwo cut recently. Though at this point, Draven's lead is over 14000 and there's no way he blows that lead if the rally topic got deleted.

if that guy was an actual modertator he probably got a lot of flak from Allen from not reading/understanding this:

"Outside forces can and probably will attempt to rally people to visit the site and vote for a certain character, and that's fine - but individuals voting multiple times isn't acceptable. Hundreds of people voting once good, one person voting hundreds of times bad. We reserve the right to adjust vote totals should our automated efforts against vote stuffing fail."

Oh, oh, let me guess... and if it doesn't happen, that just means that the LoL fans only had to cheat with Link, because he's the only one that threatened Draven's win! Right? Am I doing this right?

Draven is still gaining now. No reason for them to DDOS the site. Unlike when Link was cutting 1000 votes an hour and the same time of day. Plus, Draven's lead at this time is 4 times what it was against Link- 14500 vs. 3700.

In regards to the Barkley thing.

Having played neither Dynasty Warriors or Shut Up and Jam Gaiden, the difference is that Lu Bu is Lu Bu in name only. I'm not sure he's supposed to be the actual historical figure. Charles Barkley is still supposed to be the Charles Barkley, as is my understanding.

Why Hitler was allowed in though, I have no idea.
