Dammit Mega Man... from 3rd to 41, the dream is over. Had Charizard over Megs the first time, then inexplicably changed from Samus winning to Mega Man... bad move. Could've just left it blank and stayed in the top 20 at least. Course, I guess that makes little sense... woulda been in second had I left it :(

Course, it's probably for the best, since I made my bracket a karma entry for some unknown reason.

Hm...25k votes in the first 12 hours?
I know this is a bonus match but..still..this is lower than most R1 matches
#305 | Safer_777 | Posted 9/14/2013 9:57:09 AM | message detail
Nobody cares about the bonus matches. People will care about Link and Draven because it is Link and Draven.

I'd be ok with Snake or I guess even Draven winning the contest, but Samus winning would be really boring IMO.

...How can Samus winning be more boring than Draven...?
#309 | Masato_Tanaka | Posted 9/14/2013 10:18:15 AM | message detail
Because Samus already technically won a contest once, and Nintendo and Square entries have won plenty in the long run at this point. At least Draven is from a relatively new franchise.

But Samus has never won a contest that actually included Mario and Link! That'd be pretty huge if she won the contest after everything that's happened, even ignoring the fact that, you know, anyone beating Draven would be pretty f***ing huge.

Snake wins against Draven,making the bonus poll totally pointless
#312 | Masato_Tanaka | Posted 9/14/2013 10:53:57 AM | message detail
If Snake or Samus legitimately beat Draven and the Draven ralliers fair and square, yeah, that would be impressive, but still, I'd rather see Snake win then Samus, even if she win a contest without Mario or Link in it.

If you take the bonus poll at face value, using my earlier calculations MM will have to slip to about 47.46% on the Pokemon today to get Snake > Samus.

...at this rate it's not out of the realm of possibility.

The way I see it,Draven/Link can go-

1.They consider us the biggest losers in the Internet and look at this poll as "losers don't want to admint they lost"
And doesn't make any rally thread,letting Link win with 80% and a very very unsatisfactory victory
2.Like the above,but they will rally,and the redditors that voted for Link before now vote for Draven because we are considered losers...making a very easy victory for Draven (and this will be the excuse for most Link supporters here)
3.They will rally. Link will win. They say they don't really care because it's a bonus match and Draven is the champion anyway
We will agree and feel this is very unsatisfactory victory

...I really can't see myself enjoying this match,no matter what happens
#318 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/14/2013 11:17:29 AM | message detail
That's why the only way to get a satisfying contest is to get Snake over Draven and replace him in the bonus match imhhho

Well the only way I can enjoy this match is if we find a way to laugh at them but tbh right now they have more reasons to laugh at us..sadly

They can totally use the excuse of "we already rallied hard for Draven against Snake and it's hard to rally for 48 hours"
I will totally agree with them

Oh well,just let this contest end already
#322 | JJH777 | Posted 9/14/2013 12:23:07 PM | message detail
Draven/Link will be enjoyable as long as it has comparable votals to Link/Shep/Draven (meaning they are rallying just as much) and Link still wins. It will also be enjoyable if the site goes down again while Link is doing good. There will no longer be any debate about whether it was a ddos or not if that happens. Really I think the only ways it won't be enjoyable are if the rally is bigger than usual due to that tournament or w/e is going on and Draven just crushes with R2 level strength or if they just don't rally at all.

I don't think either of those will happen though. The tournament being on hurts him just as much as it helps him. There will be more people on the reddit but the tournament will also be the focus of the discussion. I doubt a rally topic gets anywhere near the top of the reddit when there are all the tournament result topics going on. There is also no way they won't rally at all. They showed how much they cared when they kept spamming rally topics for 2 hours straight while they just kept getting deleted. They will care about this bonus match.

A tournament being on also mean twitch rally can be a painful,painful thing
I don't know how it works because from what I remember popular streams are full of comments that nobody reads because they move too fast..but it can be painful


Anyway,I finally finished reading the last 2 stat topics and....why are the same people that talked about Pokemon fanbase being the most dronish ever also talk about if Pikachu+Squirtle is weaker than Pikachu+Mewtwo?
Either we are dronish or we don't,make up your mind

Remember, Zelda is the most drone-ish fanbase, which explains why Zelda, Ganondorf, Midna, Tingle and Groose all made the final 9 this year.

I don't understand this joke
Unlike Zelda,Pokemon doesn't have a clear "main character" that most of the fanbase votes should go to
Pikachu is as close as possible to "main character" because he is the mascot,but he is far from most liked
Why is it so surprising that the most popular Pokemon also share the same strength?

I also don't think there is going to be much of a difference between all of FFVI characters (aside from Kefka) for the same reason
Terra,Locke and Celes should be around the same strength in this contest

They posted that topic way too early. In fact, they posted the rally topic for the Link match about 3 1/2 hours before the match started, so the rally was losing steam much sooner than usual, forcing them to get really desperate to hold off Link's comeback.

The way Reddit works, it becomes harder and harder for a topic to maintain a spot on the first page of the LoL subreddit as more time passes by.

No.

People needed time to make expert challenge picks for the final match since you can't make expert picks for a match before all the battlers are confirmed. There's been a gap of one day in the calendar between the last semifinal and the final match all along IIRC.

This happened in Rivalry Rumble too.

Considering the fact most of Draven votes came from Europe,the west server being down can be "Half Ultimate Draven"
Of course they are only down for 3 hours (which was what Riot estimated to be the downtime) so it should comeback anytime

But if for act of god (like this site server dying for 90 minutes in LSD) they encounter some..problems..and the servers will be down for a few more hours then..uh oh...

No, we having some boring bonus match today. It's not Allen's fault for setting up this bonus match because he clearly defined the rules for this bonus match before the contest even started. And because of all the upsets in this contest, we didn't get Sephiroth/Cloud/Samus or Sephiroth/Snake/Samus.

Eh, even if this happens it's still probably the least of 3 evils. If the Reddit people actually say that, then it's just a weak form of "damage control", which is the same thing that they accused GameFAQs of doing after Link lost the first time.

You got a point there

Another excuse-"we didn't bother because of the tournament" can be used in case Link wins
...and it can be used by us if Draven wins,too "because of the tournament reddit was full of users talking about finals! it's not fair! Link was supposed to win back then in LSD!"

Snake fans are just the vocal minority. The downvotes that Snake comments are receiving accurately reflect the earnest views of the upstanding, moral, silent majority (Draven fans).

The topic title does mention Snake and Samus, so that should drastically increase the amount of Snake and Samus votes coming from the thread. Draven should still win, but we might actually see a semi-close match.
