Sure I probably wasn't the only one,but that page really secured MM victory so it's cool
It serves Charizard right losing this match after he disappointed me so bad against Zelda!
(also wtf is Method Man why did Facebook tag it how does this site even work)

So that means that MM VS Zelda is a toss up? I find it hard to believe.

Zero VS Zelda could be interesting, but Mega Man's proven to be easily above the rest of his division.

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.


lmao who even are you?

I have seen you post today only in like the last 7 years and you're trying to tell me how to post on Board 8. Buzz off back to whatever obscurity you crawled out of.

Squirtle is a newcomer and is more rallyable. Pikachu has been in these contests for over 10 years, he was never rallied as a character.

Snake will win. Even he faced PIkachu or Squirtle 1v1 he would win easily. Snake just can't be rallied against that easily.

I wouldn't mind seeing that, but the bonus poll will probably be (and should be) Link vs. Draven.

The makes me wonder though, is there going to be a day break between the last semi-finals match and the finals? I guess there should be to allow for expert picking, but what would that day's bonus poll be?

Also, is Mega Man now the favorite to get into the finals? If so, that is amazing.

I had picked MM to get into the finals based on facing Mario and Samus, and him getting past the Nintendo LFF. His hardest match was always going to be against Zero and Zard. 1v1 against either Mario or Samus and he loses easily. Once I saw how Pokemon dominated this contest I thought my bracket was done for but Mega Man pulled it off.

Now, I'm wondering how many people of the 31 ahead of me in the standings have Mega Man in the finals.

Things look just about over. Maybe Samus/Mega Man/Red is interesting and Snake/whoever for second in the finals is worth seeing even if it might not mean a lot, but that's about it. Does anybody think Snake vs. 2 Pokemon or Mega Man/Samus vs. 2 Pokemon for "fourth place" are good matches? Even if pokemon actually threatened or beat the odd man out, I don't think anyone here would consider that a good thing. Red beating Mega Man/Samus would be pretty bad too.

So how would you rank this contest?

Better than Villains and Rivalry Rumble for sure (because how could it NOT be?) and I think there's been enough cool stuff to put it over the Series Contest and Characters 2004 but that might be about it. Have a hard time seeing it above any of the fourway contests. Definitely can't even consider it over Characters 2006 with its Female Bracket, since this contest was possibly even more fodder-filled and people liked the Male Bracket there a lot.

Mewtwo is getting at least 85-15'd by Draven in just about every European country. I would be willing to argue that Europe is drawing in more votes than the US during Draven matches.

Not necessarily. The general consensus around here seems to be Link would have won if the site hadn't been down. Also there would be no Shepard (whatever that's worth).

....while I usually lambast you for this, this is actually an interesting point. Draven has almost the exact same percent in the USA today as he did in the Link match - that is to say, in the US Link/Shepard look to be virtually equal to Mewtwo/Sephiroth.

Draven's almost 5% higher in total votes today, however.

Why is it always the same crap users touting this? Stop denying facts. Draven was going to lose so his drone fanbase cheated. I don't know why people bother arguing anything otherwise. If you Draven fanboys were so confident you shouldn't have attacked this site. Fact is the match will forever be tainted due to this. Draven is a Fruad. And whoever he faces 1v1 will prove that.

Problem Draven has is he's all Reddit. He has no Gamefaqs strength. So unless he's being rallied, he's going to get his ass cut constantly. If he was some what of a midcarder who wasn't as terrible he would have owned harder.

That would be a bad bonus poll. Draven would just bury them barring some rally fatigue which I think is just a myth. It has to be Link vs Draven.

"Unrallied" Draven has boosted a ton now, though. I mean, he was hanging with freaking Sephiroth still until his rally came back. His bandwagon definitely led to him gaining a ton a strength ala L-Block.

Anyway, how strong is Mewtwo 1v1 now? Because I don't believe all his insane performances this contest were just lucky bracket placement. He definitely looks near-elite material at the weakest.

No telling until people post oracle predictions but I doubt it. He eked out a win against a Charizard not worth 45% on Mario but rather equivalent with Zelda and got some people excited but he's hardly a favorite. Also some folks are down on Samus right now in spite of LOL 3-ways because allegedly her performance against Tifa was poor.

Pokemon behave like joke characters, so probably not that well. A 1v1 reduces the effects of rallying and "everything else LFF" so I wouldn't expect Pokemon to be as impressive 1v1. Probably stronger than Crono at least, but LOL Crono.

Not that strong and would lose to most of the N9 and characters outside it. Bandwagon characters(Like Mewtwo) will flop next year. 1v1 Mewtwo would lose to a lot of characters.

Mewtwo might not be as strong as Sonic and Sephiroth imply, but Mewtwo also hasn't given us a single unimpressive performance yet either. Biggest blowout of the contest, upset Vincent in shocking fashion (pic be damned), doubled Bowser despite losing to him before when handicapped with Toad, led over Draven for several hours, and now has two wins over Noble Niners. That's before considering what all else Pokemon's done to support Mewtwo being legit this contest, before or after PokeFAQs hit hard.

Mewtwo would compete with the bottom side of the Noble Nine one-on-one...thinking Sephiroth/Sonic/Crono are likely beaten.

So think Draven ends up looking a bit weaker than last round?

I WOULD say that he is beatable, but even if Snake or Mega Man got close, I just know that another rally would spring up somewhere else on the internet and push Draven way over. At least it might not be a total stomp.

I have passed the point of true despair for this contest though. Bring on 1v1 Game of the Generation, please.
