1v1 changes so much. L-Block? Never happens in 1v1. Draven? Loses in R3 to Link in 1v1 (whether or not he'd beat him now).

This match? Without multi-way polls, Link would not have lost a match since Cloud in 2003. The hate and resentment would have kept building, with no release valve with L-Block or Draven. Snake might very well win this match.

Dropping in power immensely probably. From 46% on Mario to struggling to beat Zelda and losing to a crippled Mega Man. I too would go with Sephiroth.

Beats Bowser. Puts up a great show on Mario. Exposed as a fraud here who needed rallies to beat a Zelda leashed by DK and loses to MM with Zero there!

Backfire is the only thing that kept Link and Snake in those matches.

True, but that's somewhat strange wording. Had Reddit never gotten involved in the first place, Link (and Snake) would have easily wiped the floor with Draven. You can't really say backfire had a 'beneficial' impact of keeping them competitive when they wouldn't have even needed the backfire to win in an environment where Reddit hadn't rallied for anyone.

It did, because we HAVE seen Draven do work with no backfire impact. Check out Draven/Megaman X/Ryu on gamefaqscontests. According to Lopen's stats, the two latter entrants combined pulled anywhere from 10% of the rallied votes...to 2%. If Draven faced a theoretically superpowerful character who wouldn't benefit from a vote split (like 2003 Cloud, maybe?), he'd be a ridiculous monster.

Charizard was supposed to romp with ease en route toward possibly making the finals after his run in 2010.

He barely beat Zelda and got outrallied by Mega Man in a match where he was ridiculously favored.

The last one is hard to stress how insulting it is to his pedigree. A Pokemon. Getting outrallied.

Yeah, that's totally fair - I don't think we've had a single case of a LPF'd entity having revenge on someone who was ahead in a future match, but that's partly because we've had few contests. I just think Samus/Snake is a more interesting affair than Snake/Link because it gives an interesting gauge for a variety of things, as opposed to 'of course Link wins, next'.

Link's winning, but not by nearly as much as he'd have wiped the floor with Snake in previous years.

So I'd say this bonus match is pretty cool as a Snake fan. It's validation that Snake's been continuing to gain popularity while Link might actually be losing a step or two. Most of the Noble Nine have been declining; Snake's gone from the weak link in the group to (most likely) 2nd place.

Not sure if that trajectory will ever reach a point where Snake could beat Link 1 v 1, but he has a better shot than anyone else who isn't Reddit-rallied or joke-rallied like Draven and L-Block were, respectively.

...Heh. Clearly, I've missed a lot.
I'll just settle on the Pokemon being 'weird and unpredictable' and call it a day. Not sure how to reconcile any of that with Squirtle sneaking by Cloud. Really I just don't know anything about Pokemon aside from the fact it exists.

Charizard won a (weak) division in his contest debut in 2010 by beating Duke Nukem, God of War III-hype-fueled Kratos, L-block, and Bowser. He seemed to gather bandwagon support over time, had a Pokemon game released during the Bowser match, and ended up at over 46% on Mario. He was hyped as a potential Noble Nine-breaker afterwards but there were lots of doubts because of just how overrated that Mario performance made his earlier opponents looked. Then this year, sans-bandwagon and release factor, he collapsed hilariously.

What's even weirder is that Draven is probably fairly close to linear, if you factor out effects like the wording and timing of the rally thread. Basically, you are running 2 polls: one on Gamefaqs that gets around 60,000 votes, and one on the League of Legends subreddit that gets around 90,000 votes. Both polls are likely shockingly close to linear independently. More linear than FFVII and Pokemon on this site nowadays are.

Him beating Link is patently not impossible, but as Cloud can tell you this guy doesn't f*** around. He needs MGSV to be a huge hit and then probably some other favorable circumstance to take him down legit.

This...is probably true, actually. I kinda want to contest those numbers (Draven feels like a character who draws in 60k votes normally on Reddit), but otherwise it seems sound. Draven has a neo-FF7 night vote, collapses during the day, but rebounds as rally intensity hits pitch and alternative channels are tapped into. We've seen this happen again and again. The only anomaly is his Round 2 performance, but I believe that's because that match was effectively a 1v1 between League of Legends and 2013 Capcom.

But notably Snake's potential for turning this around is a lot brighter than Cloud's ever was. Cloud has essentially been running off one game and a few cameos for over a decade now. He just doesn't have boost potential like Snake does.

Snake's releases are so high profile and important to him that he never fails to boost a ton whenever a major one drops. Which makes sense, after all, he's only had four (five counting Brawl).

The issue being, of course, that Snake also drops SUPER hard when he doesn't get stuff, IIRC. That lines up with his 2004 performance and his 2005 rebound, right?

I think the favorable circumstance is that Skyward Sword wasn't the critical hit for a console Zelda than it could have been, and nothing's on the horizon right now.

Imagine if Zelda were to get a console release of the critical reception of say...Super Mario Galaxy. There would be no hope for Snake.

The time after MGS4 and before anything else of import might have counted. Not sure though, as he hasn't gone two-three years without a game since.

Eh, critical acclaim doesn't matter so much for GameFAQs. SMG has snagged just about every accolade you can and it's pitifully weak anyway. GameFAQs just doesn't care about it.

Link also just has a very difficult time boosting from his games now because he had so many. Snake only has 4 titles that he's drawing strength from, not counting SSB. Each game in Link's corner is a much smaller share of his overall strength and can't affect the overall package as much.

Hype seems to be the strongest factor for Link as opposed to his actual games dropping. I firmly hold that the strongest Links we've ever seen were Link 2004 (Twilight Princess trailer hype) and Link 2006 (Twilight Princess releasing right as the Battle Royale was happening). The game's release itself from a purely literal standpoint actually weakened him.

Welcome to the League of Stickies.

Snake's biggest concern at this point may be maintaining his underdog status. He's been the chosen underdog of the site for the last 5 years now. The last time the site dismissed him as unimportant was the 2007 final when he was Last Place Factored. Since then, he has replaced Cloud as Link's challenger, and embarassed Cloud/Sephiroth repeatedly.

I was proclaiming "Snake always wins" as joking propaganda for Link, but for FFVII fans it probably feels like reality by now. Cloud's 2010 win is pretty the only victory FFVII has had over Snake since 2007. And 2007 doesn't even feel like a victory because Cloud came in 3rd to Link and a Tetris piece.

And now, Snake has made a contest final that did not have Link or Cloud. He is currently over 48% on Link. I don't know how much longer the site will accept him as their plucky underdog.

In the future, I'd like to see a return of the traditional 1 v 1 contest matchups, with Link grandfathered into a Hall of Fame, and the winner challenging Link in a Bonus Match.

That's probably too vanilla a formula, but it'd be a great way to gauge the current popularity of the rest of the NN in matches. So long as Draven doesn't distort everything via more Reddit rallies, anyway. (Though I don't know how that'd reasonably be prevented absent banning League of Legends characters entirely, which might not go over well.)

It's hard to say, because the people that complain about the status quo of our contests don't seem to realize anything that's happened in them since 2004 aside from L-Block, and I'm sure Draven will be remembered as a meme character like L.

But I'd wager the site at large won't group him in that category until he actually wins a first place. It's the only thing they actually remember.

Backfire is the only thing that kept Link and Snake in those matches. Get this: Samus, the one who was abandoned horribly, and facing stronger competition........received nearly 7000 more votes yesterday than in her victorious semifinal match against Megaman and Red. Reddit probably rallied well in excess of 10,000 votes yesterday.....for Samus.

Thats probably more than what they did for Snake, I did mention quite a few people on r/leagueoflegends being vocal about not voting Draven over Samus.
I'd imagine the ones that voted Link from there would of voted for her anyway, as previously mentioned numerous times.

3 seeds were rigged (much like many other seeds). Check all the other 3 seeds and you'll see the common thread.

And it just may not be enough. We've had concentrated pushes for characters that didn't make the field at all. Guru noms, even.

It depends on how much you think he actually screwed with those seeds. Remember, the three seeds might have been the top new characters, but there are other new characters in the upper seeds (Tharja, Booker) that suggest they were still pretty high up in nominations. I think anyone of those three seeds would have made a 128 contest this year, and Draven's win will guarantee his presence for many years to come (as long as we keep bringing them back), just like L-Block.

Crono over Sephiroth? Really?
Wow, FFVII must've really lost a step or three.


With Vivi beating Mario, it feels less like FF has lost popularity as a series and more like FFVII specifically is just coming back to earth. Almost makes sense. As time passes, the FFVII hype is bound to die a little, and maybe the characters will be judged more for their personalities as time passes and less for the games they starred in.

My theory is that the FFVII generation is either pretty much gone from this site or have more or less moved on from the game.

What you've got left would be Final Fantasy and RPG fans in general. And Final Fantasy fans never ever ever agree with each other on how to rank the series!

FFVII should still end up at the top of the FF hierarchy but not by that much, and it can't really compete with Zelda and against the anti-votes if it's not the overwhelming favorite. Squall and FFX characters seem maybe slightly weaker; the FFVII generation had certainly at least played their games. That those and FFVII are the ones stagnating or weakening also may not be unconnected with their characters having benefited the most from Kingdom Hearts, which looked bad in 2010 and terrible this contest.

FFIX characters benefited a lot because it was never that popular in general but it does tend to be well thought of by FF fans. Ramza...looks around the same, maybe slightly better. SNES FF characters boosted through the roof because the general Final Fantasy fanbase has actually played and like the games, something I really don't think was true of the FFVII generation. Kefka never should have been as weak as he was back in the day otherwise considering how strong FFVI was (personally think that was just blind series voting and FFI having been so strong supports that imo; also FFT almost beating Metal Gear Solid what), but he boosted a lot in 2010 and went completely insane this contest.

And lol FFXII/FFXIII
---
[NO BARKLEY NO PEACE]
[NO raytan NO PEACE]

Kefka boosted because of Dissidia. We've gone over this. And I don't think that theory is really sound. I think that, plain and simple, the reason FF is weaker in general is due to votals. It's a much more 'casual' series than Zelda or Mario, odd as that may sound. The reason I think this is that Mario and Zelda tend to be formative gaming experiences. Most people play at least one of their games during childhood and become enormously attached to them both because they are consistently good, and because they represent a simpler, happier time. FF targets an older audience and by that point attachments to specific things are less strong, plus the lack of a unifying thread between games means you can't 'grow up' with a consistent set of characters like you can with the Triforce group or Mario, Luigi, Bowser and Peach. Remeber when you used to watch 100+ episode cartoons religiously, and multiple ones at that? How often do you do the same thing for adult shows these days?

Yeah. We've seen that if the voting is left up to GameFAQs members only, we'd have things like Missingno beating Squall ? Block beating Rikku, Kirby beating Sephiroth, etc.

The users that stick around are heavily biased for Nintendo and the Square popularity comes more from outsiders that come in to vote.

A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

Snake officially now finds himself in the rarified company of Clouderoth as the only three entities to ever win an hour over Link 1v1.
---
Welcome to the League of Stickies.

Most of that sounds pretty plausible too!

Though I don't think Dissidia is anywhere close to sufficient to explain Kefka. He performed better on Snake this contest - the Snake that's doing extremely well on Link right now - than Epic Fraud Magus did against 2003 Link. Current Kefka would be projected to more than double Kefka at his low point around 2008. Dissidia doing that much seems very hard to believe, especially since Kefka looked like he boosted a lot again after 2010. Unless that was because of Dissidia Duodecim. In which case Square-Enix should get on Dissidia 3 ASAP so that Kefka can boost to the Noble Nine level he deserves and give us an epic 50/50 Kefka vs. Sephiroth match.
---

Kefka did well, but he still lost to GlaDOS. Both are still very good but Snake almost certainly underperformed on them both. Take a quarter of his traditional sprite underperformance (since he was exclusively Solid S*** in 25% of the pictures) and add it to Snake's total and I think that match lines up better.

Kefka did about as well as could be expected. Escaping the doubling against Solid Snake today is very, very good. He can't really help that GlaDOS was just as impressive with her stellar Portal 2 boost.

Welcome to the League of Stickies.

Yeah, this is making it look like Kefka could avoid the doubling against Link or come darn close.

That's a huge improvement for Kefka.

GlaDOS, too, considering Kirby landed 68% on her in 2010.

Dunno why people completely wrote off GLaDOS beating him. I picked Kefka for 2nd since he clearly had a good shot at it and I couldn't not pick him, but I figured it could be close; had Kefka narrowly winning in my Oracle.
