WTF? The rally fell to #7 and yet Draven explodes here.

It fell to #7, but it also rose to #19…

Snake is making a real go of it - a Shepard level character here would mean the world for him. But Samus is just too much.


No, KH. It doesn't work that way. You need widely different, iconic characters to beat Draven. The way to defeat him is to dilute his rally power. Samus is helping Snake out (to an extent. She still siphons votes from him too, unfortunately).

You'll probably have to wait for the rally to end up being near the bottom of the first page before it has any effect on the strength of the rally. Even at number 7, it's still pretty visible in that spot.

Draven's update intakes are very similar to his at these times during the Link match. This is just Snake and Samus being overall stronger (probably due to site-wide banner and small external rallies). That makes me think that Snake has a real chance if the rally dies off at some point.

Draven's intake dropped precipitously there. If the rally dies this early Snake is still very much in it. Heck, if it dies this early Samus is still in this.

They most definitely died off in the morning against Link until the site went down.

Oh, if the rallies die off completely, Draven will finish last. He was getting doubled by Sephiroth at the end of last round without any rallies.

Honestly, Samus is probably hurting Draven more than she's hurting Snake. Yeah, she's drawing GameFAQs votes away from Snake. But she's also drawing reddit votes away from Draven. And we don't really have a way to tell who she's hurting more.

That much is obvious. By die off in this case I meant weaken significantly but still enough to keep Draven around. Kinda like their strength against Link in the morning. They were still there, just not enough to keep Link from beasting.

Well, we could re-run it with Chester.

I don't for a second buy this "Samus is helping!" argument.

Link was a 60/40 split.
if you assume draven's rally is split here 40/35/25 (which judging by these votals seems possible) and the usual Samus/Snake situation is around 50/50, then you could explain the current results pretty well.

reddit's pool is about as large as ours. if ours is even but theirs gets divided up better to favor Snake then yeah, Samus COULD be an advantage.
