DidYouMWISMe posted... UltimaterializerX posted...I think the only person more annoying than Kanz and his League obsession is MWIS with Solid Snake. I don't like annoying-ass people, that's not really a grudge. --- Rufus Shinra survived a duel with Cloud and kicked all of our asses in the guru contest. |
UltimaterializerX posted... The thread could potentially die off on Reddit, too. That's kinda what we're hoping for at this point! --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
Yeah, we're all hoping that the championship backfires on Draven. And/or more professional wrestlers come to Snake's aid. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
UltimaterializerX posted... At 7 am, Link was losing by almost 6000 votes. With worlds going on, Draven's rallying power won't be as strong because everyone and their mother who cares a ton about League will be all over watching the streams, and all the streams delete direct links. The thread could potentially die off on Reddit, too. This won't stop coordinated ralliers, actually. It's a very easy bypass to just split the link in two bits (gam efaqs.com, for example), at which point people WILL see it because IIRC, LoL competition chats use a very strong slow mode such that replies are visible for a long time. A group of fifty users coordinating to drop the link down at the same time will raise a crazy amount of havoc. This is, of course, not nearly as big as what you'd get if Riot actually backed Draven up like they did with LoL in the old Joystiq poll though. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Even if Snake goes down in defeat, this match proved two things. David Hayter is the man and Draven is a draggy cow. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

I haven't said anything rude or condescending. I just don't see the need for the vitriol. It's been years since we last interacted.

And
in Draven's 3rd match how many on r/lol do you think hadn't already
supported him? The majority of those "3:2" were probably rallied votes
on other subreddits which was a thing everyone was doing by that stage. I
don't buy rallies backfiring on LoL forums at all, they're not your
typical gamers. There aren't enough votes from other sources to push the LoL ratio beyond 70/30 or so, unless you think Allen is lying. And it matches up with the time period you chose yourself perfectly. The Draven rally is taken down, and Link loses 3 votes for every 5 Draven loses. Granted, it was a very short time period and subject to high variance. But this seems to be the most natural explanation with the info we have. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

Draggy Crow the final member of Foxhound Snake must overcome --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Yeah,
it was pretty clear that Link's intake dropped notably when the rally
topics went down. I recall mentioning at the time that someone should
keep track of it because it'd be interesting to look at. Of course, things got... complicated shortly after. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

What's the comeback record again? (Link's heroic effort not withstanding) Need to wonder if Snake will get a shot at it. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Whatever
happens, Link and Snake have proven that Draven is mortal, and he can
be beat. If Snake doesn't do it today, there's a great chance Link will
do it tomorrow in the 1v1. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Draggy Crow actually sounds like a Mega Man X maverick. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
xp1337 posted... What's the comeback record again? Successful comeback, you mean? Because he's not getting close to what Link got! --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |
Yeah, successful. link's comeback too legendary and will never be touched --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
xp1337 posted... What's the comeback record again? (Link's heroic effort not withstanding) Record for a successful comeback is Sonic/Crono 2006. Snake shatters that if he wins today. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Anyway,
pretty sure Master Chief came back from 2400 down against Frog in 2004.
Can't recall if there's been a bigger "successful" comeback. --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |
Comeback
record is around 3100 votes in Donkey Kong/Duck Hunt, starting from
3200 down. Link had two separate comebacks of 3200 (from 6100 down) and
4500 (from 5200 down) against Draven. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Well yeah, Sonic/Crono is the record for most successful comeback that actually stuck! That was right around 2000 votes. DK/Chief, too. --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |
MC's was the opposite of successful! Though he took the lead, something Link didn't do, if you're judging by that. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Yeah, it depends on your definition of successful. That's why I put it in quotation marks! --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
I love how Link has the top 2 (non-successful) comebacks. what a match what a hero --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Axel also came back from 1900+ votes and briefly took the lead, but again...! --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
LeonhartFour posted... Axel also came back from 1900+ votes and briefly took the lead, but again...! If we somehow get a bonus poll after the bonus poll, perhaps we could get Frog on the job. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

Sandbag came back from 2150 against Magus and held it. Guess that's about 100 less than the Sonic/Crono record. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Link can have the greatest 22.5 hour performance in contest history Mario can have the greatest 24+ hour performance in contest history Snake will take the greatest 24 hour performance in contest history --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Snake is literally putting up an impossible performance and still gets no respect :/ Bacon replace Samus with Shepard for just 15 minutes, I dare you --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
didnt draven come back from 2k down on Mewtwo then took lead in a span of like an hour the other day? |
tpoyoy posted... didnt draven come back from 2k down on Mewtwo then took lead in a span of like an hour the other day? Mewtwo's peak lead was 2330, so yeah, he did. Snake's comeback will still exceed that one though! --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Link can have the greatest 22.5 hour performance in contest history And to think we could have had Link/Mario/Snake! battle for greatest contest performance match time is determined by an rng prior to the match --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

tpoyoy posted... didnt draven come back from 2k down on Mewtwo then took lead in a span of like an hour the other day? That was because he didn't have a rally topic then!

This upcoming hour is the moment of truth. If Snake can't slow Draven down here like Link did, it won't look good --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Then00bAvenger posted... This upcoming hour is the moment of truth. If Snake can't slow Draven down here like Link did, it won't look good I'm willing to give Snake a bit more time because he's not Link but yes, he has to start moving to slow/stabilize the bleeding soon. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Draven's
intake is already pretty low. As long as the vote totals start creeping
back up as they usually do at this time, Snake should start making
headway. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
Not_Wylvane posted... tpoyoy posted...didnt draven come back from 2k down on Mewtwo then took lead in a span of like an hour the other day? he'll pull away hard haven't you learned draven cant be stopped? even if reddit gets shutdown the LoL playoffs will have 100k+ viewers throughout each match tomorrow and there is usually a break between matches lasting like 10 minutes. |
Karma Hunter posted... Snake is literally putting up an impossible performance and still gets no respect :/ It's missing the drama of "Down 6000. It's happening!" 6000 and 5000 vote barriers how crazy was that Yeah, what Snake's doing is crazy, but that Link performance was just too great for me personally. This is #2 though, easily! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
That was a great update! Snake probably coming back down next time though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Link
still failed though. Had we won, that would have been more impressive.
If Snake actually manages to win here, it's not debatable he was more
"heroic" than Link. You have to WIN to be a hero. Otherwise you simply
just put up a hell of a fight |
Actually, looks like Draven came back from 2582 against Jak. New record for biggest successful comeback. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Snake isn't looking to be a hero. He's just got a job to finish. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
