I guess you could try for Josh Keaton, who was the voice of Ocelot in MGS3. He's a gamer, too, I think.

Again, doubt he has many followers though.


For what it's worth, Keaton is also the current VA for these characters:

Spider-man
Jak
Spyro
Ryu Hayabusa
Rick Taylor from Splatterhouse

I just beat Metroid: Other M, and while I loved the game it turned out to be completely not worth thinking over it for years.

You'd think they would be more eager to beat a Nintendo character too!

For reference, despite being completely buried and not being Solid goddamn Snake, Mewtwo still managed to cut 1900 votes off of Draven's peak lead. As long as Snake keeps the lead to a reasonable level...

So what's the best factor ever guys?

I think I'll still have to go with US vs. Canada Olympic games factor...but man, David Hayter factor ain't far behind.

And if "we'll buy your t-shirts" actually gets AJ Lee to tweet about this, that would crush like every other factor ever.

If Samus' votes are any indication, Snake should be stalling Draven for another 45-ish minutes as long as another rally doesn't pop up. It's amazing Samus is still above 100 votes an update.

Someone with a Twitter account should tweet Sakurai, Snake was in SSB and Sakurai seems like the type to care about fans' opinions. Worst case scenario is people voting for Samus who otherwise wouldn't vote at all.

Looking like Draven will go back to gaining. Still, if Snake can keep them relatively small, it's not that bad.

I'm willing to try anything, even if I hated Brawl!

my twitter friends are probably getting sick to death of my spamming at this point though hahah

This is kind of hilarious to watch. I like it.

I haven't really been paying that much attention to the Battle, but is right now supposed to be Draven's peak time or something? Is it notable that the gap is so small at this moment?

Yes. At this point, Draven had like 3000 votes on Link. Hayter, not Snake, has kept it under 1000.

BTW, we really should push for the AJ rally tomorrow.

An AJ tweet right now could be a game changer, but an AJ tweet before Night of Champions would be checkmate.

This is unquestionably Draven's best time. Link was down by around 2300 at this time to Draven. Snake is only down 650 and this poll currently is outpacing the Link match.

Yeah this is really not shaping up too bad for Snake.

And I underestimated Twitter celebrity factor big time, based on what Hayter did...if AJ Lee actually happens I think Snake will actually win. And it might not even be close.

The only issue is that he can't show bias towards Snake only, it'll have to include Samus.

If AJ Lee tweets for Snake and Draven gets a shout-out during the World Championships tomorrow... it's anyone's ballgame and we could possibly break 400K votes.

Yea as someone mentioned Twitter has that spiderweb effect. If the right person tweets it, it can get spread across to many people with well over 100,000 followers. It just kind of multiples.

that's just a taste of twitter really.
the real one would be if this gets retweeted by someone else who's big and follows along until it gets to someone huge.

that trickle down effect is what twitter prides itself in. the best advantage right now is that it CAN go through the channels and has all day to do so.

and we can always ask Hayter for another later. <___<

If Samus gets a huge surge any spillover from that will go straight to Snake, so that's perfectly fine.
