He should've had a match between all the third place entrants instead that'd be more int-- oh wait it'd still be two Pokemon and a third guy what have we done to deserve this


Sephiroth vs. Squirtle vs. Red

Sephiroth can prove his superiority to Cloud.

The Pokemon should have all lost in the second round, if this were a just world.

Sephiroth vs Squirtle vs Red probably would be the more interesting match, especially since Blue didn't drag Pikachu down too hard. Squirtle could win.

I guess Mewtwo vs Pikachu could be vaguely interesting

Roided up Mewtwo vs. Snake vs. Mega Man would still have been the best final.

Too bad MM is losing here anyway.

Oh wow I'm back up to 12th on the leaderboard. I'm going to fall off after the next two matches, of course, but I'm amazed I'm that high given that over a hundred people had Draven winning this round.

If Draven loses the bonus match, Link gets crowned contest champion. He should.

Wait, the bonus match is really going to be Draven vs. Link?

It's stupid. Link fans disgraced themselves by DDOSing the site and SBAllen bends over for them. It's not like putting a pacifier in an infant's mouth, it's like rewarding a gang of unruly children for bullying and hurting others.

Samus maintaining that lead, good stuff. This is an impressive performance for her, I think. MM probably isn't as good as expected, which makes some sense considering Charizard, but this is a top non-Link tier show. Samus/Sanke would be a great match if Draven weren't around to ruin it. Who do people take there 1v1?

With how impressive Mega Man has looked, I wouldn't be surprised if Samus is the #3 on the site behind Link and Snake. Though how much of that is just FF7 and Mario falling down a pit I can't say.

Man it's kinda upsetting that the only thing exciting about the final match is the battle for 2nd place.

I mean that could have been the case anyways had Link beat Draven.... but at least in this case there's no SFF to interfere with Samus.

FF7 and Mario falling off a cliff because of how much Square Enix and Nintendo are whoring them out nowadays.

That's consistent with Mega Man's cuts. Won't make a difference in the match, obviously, but it should make the match more appropriate to what MM's strength was against Charizard.

Man this match looks Vivi look amazing. He'd have easily beaten Red without f***ing Squall in the match. He actually wouldn't be that far from Mega Man!

I guess this confirms that the rallying factor for Vivi vs. Mario was overrated. He wouldn't have won without rallies, but that would have been a tight match anyway.

If it wasn't for stupid Draven, Vivi is probably star of the contest.

If only we limited voting to registered voters and ended up with Missingno > Squall! I think Vivi would benefit from Standout Factor and be within shot of winning this match!

Squall was just jealous that Vivi's game is much better than his, so he sabotaged the black mage.

Any chance the poll results page for the Draven/Link match will cause problems with creative's updater? It seems like Bacon has managed to modify the poll results page for a 1v1 match, as you can clearly see in this screenshot:

I don't know if it would cause problems. Depends on if the HTML is different.

Modifying for number of opponents would be easy, as long as I don't forget :) If I'm not on the computer around midnight I tend to forget these things.

Mega Man... probably ends up at 47% if he's lucky? I don't think the Red votes split significantly one way or the other given that it's 'Pokeymanz', so that would definitely indicate a stronger Mega Man than in past years as long as Samus is roughly constant.

Disappointing from a certain standpoint but, just like Snake pre-2k6, he would have killed to be worth 47% on Samus in our last contest alone.

true! it's a damn fine performance from the guy. it just sucks that he's run into a brick wall where he just can't get enough rallied votes that go to him because she takes a sizable cut of it too. damn you SFF.

#91 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/13/2013 6:20:44 PM | message detail
MM also now has a distinction of leading Samus for at least an hour, which can only really be extended - times she was being SFFed aside - post-Metroid Prime to... Link, Cloud, Mario, and Tifa (...one of these things is not like the others). Even Snake's not guaranteed to do that, since if Samus pulls the upset she's liable to lead for wire-to-wire.

I think Red does hurt Samus more, but not to any significant degree, but still probably a bit more than 50/50 between Samus and MM. Pokemon is mostly independent, but it still does have its ties in Nintendo. Not bad from MM, though, certainly the best he's been in some time. Unlike the rest of the NN, minus Snake, Samus hasn't lost a step, so getting 45%+ on her is pretty good. Makes Tifa look really good, too, which is weird!
