What you all can't tell right now is that Snake is now indirectly our #1 Character.

Folding to Nintendo rSFF, ofc.

Lets stealthily rally Snake. We just do it and upon results we pretend we know nothing about it.

Vote totals are pretty high so far, but there's probably somewhat of a spillover effect going on here. We'll end up having around 7000 votes at the end of this hour, which is pretty impressive considering we don't have a site banner for this match.

No site banner, no rallies, no multiways - 1v1 Link and Snake high vote totals. This is what these contests need!

Well, the Draven thing caused a lot of people to come to B8, people potentially informed of the bonus match

Just wanna say that after a few weeks of garbage, it looks like we finally got one cool LoL/Draven supporter.

Does the heart good to see that through all the filth you can find a gem.

Yeah, this ain't spillover, the vote totals were terrible at the end of the last match.

This is just pure Link and Snake raw power.

Even near the end of the last match, we were still getting around 160-190 votes per update, which is definitely above average for a match that would normally get about 50000-55000 votes.

It's weird. While it was still going on, even though it was obvious that Draven was going to win, the board seemed...tolerable.

Now that it's official? It's kind of scary. I don't really want to go out into the board itself. I've got all of my necessary topics open...I think I'll venture back onto the front page in a few days.

I'm accounting for the game actually being released for a bit and Link deboosting from it like he always does

which is about as long as it's gonna take MGSV to ever hit shelves~

If it helps, Tsunami, the board is just...grieving, I guess you could say. People aren't rational when they lose something they love. It'll get better, I think.

That's not a twist, that's expected.

Snake is the bandwagoned type guy here. The board hasn't completely forgiven Link, and they like Snake.

Link will do better here on. Snake might stall somewhat overnight but the day vote will be much worse than the Power Hour for Snake.

On one hand, Mario at 20% is disgraceful.

On the other hand, Top 10 Phoenix is glorious. Augh, I don't know whether to mock or praise these stats!

Oh god Link is really going to slaughter Snake overnight. (This is a joke....I think)

Snake better hope his day vote can make the comeback.

When we get back into having regular PotDs again, it'll be interesting to see if this contest will produce a temporary increase in vote totals for a couple of weeks, since that was definitely true right after L-Block won in 2007.

We were averaging around 40000 votes right before the contest started, so we'll see if we go back to getting about 40000 votes per day or if vote totals will be slightly above average for a short period of time.

the less i am using capitalization and proper grammar the less serious i usually am

I actually expected Snake to lead at the freeze and put up a much bigger fight! Either Link is that good or I miscalculated the bandwagon/residual power Snake would be bringing in here!

Snake doesn't really come off as having a bandwagon to me, but the proof is in the pudding if Link keeps making big gains post-Power Hour.

Gotta hope this balances out!

And when he faces LoL in the quarter/semifinals, he'll catch fire with Ninty rallies and win in absence of a terribly unlucky server crash?

...I would be OK with this.
