Can we get Allen to change the poll tomorrow to Draven vs Snake?

One last battle, not for ideals, or character battles, no points on the line, no Samus interfering, just 2 warriors, fighting for pride, hand to hand.


Nah, bonus poll should just be Link vs. Winner, whoever it may be.

...You could also talk me into Link vs. Cloud.

The Draven we're seeing today is a really weak version though..


Not sure I agree with this. The votals are still exceedingly high, so I think it's likely that Snake is just sapping a lot of Draven's rallying, even moreso than Link did. I mean, it's Snake. People who are fans don't vote against him.


And the theory that stemmed from Snake/Tanner pops up again.

YOU CANNOT ANTI-VOTE SOLID SNAKE

yeah, it's still the early AM hours.
if you can get stuff on big sites, get big tweets, and keep the efforts strong it SHOULD spiral out of control.


I can't stay up to do this, guys. I really need to recharge. I'll sleep til 8-9 or so then hop back on.


Take a rest bro. Don't worry, there are lots of MGS fans out there rallying behind Snake.

This performance isn't 'heroic' like Link's. Link's match was GameFAQs being buried around a dark cloud of evil before he came riding back to save us, only being stopped at the last moment by dark forces.

Snake...is not being buried. He's struggling. And he's no hero...just an old killer, hired to do some wetwork.

Yeah so far this is more Draven completely blowing it than Snake doing great. This ain't the Draven Link faced, not even close.

Still hats off to Snake though. He should be getting *killed* during this time period but is actually making cuts.

Snake has a serious shot here.

You're not the only one. Hayter is Snake. He would have kept doing his voice until he could no longer speak if he was needed.

This is patently false. This match has more total votes than Link/Shepard/Draven did at this point, and Samus has nearly twice the percentage Shepard did. I'd say Snake is considerably more impressive than Link, but either way Draven "completely blowing it" is just a cavalier statement with no basis in fact.
