Jennifer Hale joined the list of people entering into this.

And she abandoned Samus for Snake

I like how people here are so optimistic and happy

How many times we laughed at Draven and got our ass kicked? 4 times,soon to be 5
1 was "lol doubled by Chie"
2 was "see? Draven can't beat Ryu and X! they are totally different level!"
3 was "Link is coming fast! he will take the lead in 1 hour!"
4 was "lollllll reddit delete rally threads!!"

...We are going to lose this,too


Jesus man let us enjoy our false hope while it lasts


Im not sure I want this board to be a wasteland when the bonus match comes!

Another 69 votes. It's not 100, but I'll take it.

I don't think anybody genuinely believes Snake is a favourite or something. I think the highest chance of victory you'd get from this topic is like 30%, at a push >_>

The whole thing is just riotously entertaining. All these celebrity RTs. AND ANOTHER CUT.

Snake is 'slowing down'.

Which means he knocks off 70 votes instead of 100.

oh cool.

can't blame her for that, samus's % is obviously lower

"next time", though!

Based on the last half-hour, Snake takes the lead in exactly 2 hours.

At the current rate, Snake will take the lead in about an hour or so.
Would be really helpful if the mods would let somebody make a new topic and let this one purge from the system.

I'm not planning to do anything else for this match outside of my vote for Snake. Although I did try to get voltch to rally on a French PlayStation Facebook page, but it turns out voltch doesn't have Facebook.

Draven's lead peaked during the end of the power hour at 991 votes then David Hayter tweeted for Snake. Chaos ensued for 90 minutes until it died down and Draven does his usual rally charged TDZ dominating. This is now Jennifer Hale tweeting for Samus, then abandoning her for Snake 20 minutes later.

I meant more for doing a revote for picking the bonus match. I'd prefer link/Snake 1v1 regardless of who wins today

Oh,good!
Because I know how depressed I was when Link lost to the totall bull**** of the downtime
(oh and I was "depressed" as a person can be "depressed" from an internet popularity poll...which means I didn't cut my veins or something sorry redditors!!)

Even if Snake wins, Link vs. Draven works as a bonus match because it sort of makes up for the complete fraud that was the original match.

Twitch autobans links in the major streams unless allowed by a mod of the chat. Either they or the caster has to outright say vote for Draven. One of the announcers and a couple of riot employees already tweeted about Draven early this morning.

Unless they organize mass upvotes for a new rally thread to crack the top 6 during worlds, Draven isn't going to be terribly supercharged.

Snake was in his own isolated division all this time with an easy path to the finals because that was the path he chose. he stealthily placed himself in optimal positioning to get to the finals as he let everyone else fight.

but now that it's the finals he has no need to hold back.

Draven needs a day match next contest.

He's a lot weaker during the day from what I can tell, but that's partially because of the rally dying off.

I think most of us still are wary about this. Hyping up Snake is just more fun then going, "Well, Draven could end this all with the world championship."

The rally would still possess a lot of strength even in a day match, because it's only 12 hours long. 24-hour matches hurt Draven because the rally topics are unable to stay on the first page for that long. And the rally loses steam well before completing a full 24-hour match.

we're all very aware that Draven can get a sequence of 300 vote updates in a row from now until the end of the day, yes.

for now we're enjoying this.
