Electoral College Character Battle would mean total Square domination. Also Draven would probably have an easier time winning.

Let's do it.


none of this post makes sense, Nintendo as a whole does better in America and Draven's Europe killings are severly diluted

I don't know,I don't really feel like Charizard flopped so badly
Mega Man is going to win over Samus,too
He became a monster and you are going to watch it unfold in less than 12 hours

Nintendo dominates the USA and gets crushed in Europe and Asia. If we were to advance characters based on a "global electoral college," Square would have an enormous advantage over Nintendo.

Of course, if you wanted to apportion a number of "Electoral votes" based on the percentage of votes coming in from each country, then the winner of the each poll in the USA would simply win the poll outright (way more than half of our votals come from the US), meaning Nintendo (and especially Zelda) would be about twice as beastly as it is now.

well no duh it'd be based off the percentage of votes coming in normally
otherwise whoever wins India+China (lol) wins the match, which is stupid

also, each US state would be split up to make it less stupid

Pretty sure this is a b8 perception thing. I highly doubt Mega Man became a sudden crowd favorite. Also, Charizard barely beat Zelda with DK in the poll... he's not the same beast. He didn't get the rallies Squirtle did nor is he showing the raw strength of Pikachu and Mewtwo.

Squirtle was the chosen rally by contest geeks but he got sffd harder than any character ever by pikachu so much so that hes in third place.

I'm going to start updating some of the existing character histories on the wiki now since there's a lot of work ahead.

What is our stance for the rivalry contest in character histories, some characters have them while others do not. I'm leaning no because they do not represent the character, kind of like how you wouldn't put Donkey Kong the game in Donkey Kong's contest history.

The hardcore Pokemon fans should favour Squirtle, but the casuals would favour Pikachu, kind of like Melee/Brawl.

I just realized that the finals are going to be so boring
R1 Draven was the original "WTF" moment
R2 was the ultimate Draven,being the strongest character in those contests ever
R3 was the best match in GameFAQs history
R4 had 150 minutes of celebration,Allen bashing and laughing at reddit

The finals...will have nothing like that
Draven will not be challenged,probably will be get his 3000 vote lead in less than 30 minutes,and won't look back
No chance for anything crazy happening (unless somehow reddit is down for 24 hours maintenance..)
I guess the highlight of this will be Mega Man and Snake fighting for the second place

ughhhhhh this is so frustrating to see knowing what happens next round :(

we'll probably never have a 1v1 character contest again either :( :( :(

Draven 90%-Snake 5%-Samus 5%.

lol extrapolating between two Pokemon in a match
of course, we'll never know, since SBAllen refuses to give a 1v1 character contest
#175 | FranzyvonKarma | Posted 9/12/2013 12:00:18 PM | message detail
What's weird is that this is a pretty good result all-around. Squirtle and Pikachu (ralliless as far as I can tell here) look like they'd each be worth mid-40s on Snake 1v1 (and if Sora or Cloud were here instead of 2 Pokes, I'd feel really good about the Pokemon taking first), and this is a really good job by Snake for the obvious reasons.

But man, this has been a really boring contest from Snake.

I know people are thinking that Riot would never do something like that because they don't care about GameFAQs and they already got 32million users and all that
But still,there have been at least 10 people from this board alone that decided to check out LoL because of Draven
Including Ulti which was very much anti-LoL ever since the first round and now he is love with it

Also,just because something is popular and succesful doesn't mean it shouldn't advertise itself...and GameFAQs contest can be a free advertisement
#177 | Safer_777 | Posted 9/12/2013 12:03:48 PM | message detail
That is because there wasn't a tough match for him. IF Sora was here that would be a tough match. But seriously nothing. All other N9 had huge obstacles in their way and half of them didn't even won their divisions because of that.

nope, and the only reason it's close is because Gamespot has actually fallen harder than GameFAQs, somehow (yet again confirming Allen is lying about site traffic)
