I'm stunned that Snake is doing this well. Link/Snake/Mario could have been amazing.

This board is going to explode at 12:01, especially if Snake wins

Snake is doing so well partly because of the Draven antivote

Protip:

Jennifer Hale also did voice work on League of Legends, as Lissandra.

And even she is turning on Draven

Abandoning Samus is what made that for me

veteran contest move.

Another 55 votes cut.

caught up.


as for what you did sephsblade, you got trent to post it on twitter and said cena was likely. you also gave up on AJ.

in between this time period however, David Hayter, Kojima, Konami EU, Konami UK, and Jennifer Hale have all gone for the contest.

I'm surprised Snake isn't winning already with all that support.
#262 | Julian_Caesar | Posted 9/15/2013 8:45:06 AM | message detail
Damn this is getting interesting.

And regardless of who wins, doesn't this match confirm that Snake had a pretty good chance after all of beating Link? Especially considering that the rallies by our users would be more targeted at Snake fans.

Samus muddles the picture though. She would have folded pretty hard to Link. Maybe not this hard but enough to swing Nintendo votes for Link en masse

Turbo-Charged Snake could.

Don't know if he could against Turbo-Charged Link though. That'd be really interesting.

And there would have been a pretty strong Link anti-vote too...the same vote that helped draven beat him.

Yeah I think short of Allen f***ing up again, this match was awesome whatever happens. It was always going to be a "nothing to lose" situation for Snake supporters, so any entertainment we derive from it is a win in itself. And the participation of Hale, Hayter, Hideo, and Trent have certainly provided that entertainment.

It's pretty hard to say. This was rallied Link and this is rallied Snake, so they aren't the ones you would have had in a final. Also this Draven is probably weaker than the one against Link due to his rally topic being burrowed by World Championship threads.

#275 | ZFS | Posted 9/15/2013 8:48:41 AM | message detail
Well, I doubt we get such a concentrated rally for Snake if it's Link here instead of Draven. People would still try, but it wouldn't be so focused on getting everyone to vote for Snake. It would also probably backfire worse since Link is probably the hardest character to rally against.

He can't do it, not again. I don't think Allen can in good conscience make another string of decisions that favour Draven. I still have faith in him.

SBallen is probably overjoyed at this outcome. This is what he's wanted all contest - people from the industry banding together with fans to support a character. Not reddit taking a dump over everything.
