The defending champion on the receiving end of the contest's biggest blowout.

Now I'm starting to see how people were so mad at this guy winning the 2013 contest.

I have no dog in this fight, but you guys are vastly overestimating how much the League community actually cares about this tournament. The only reason they did it back then is because people got so outraged about Draven beating Chie that they took it the whole way.

Suffice it to say, there was a single guy on the board asking people to vote this year and none of us gave a crap.

The only reason they rallied is because someone got mad after they rallied..... Time paradox!
Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity.

We saw a similar thing with Sans a few days ago. Registered users are more likely to know who Sans and Draven are because they're the ones who witnessed Draven's run in 2013 and Undertale in 2015.


So this result isn't just anti-voting? Like Draven is that weak?

Wow.

So, does this mean without double votes... he would be even lower ?
Single % against Amateratsu ?

(Also he just had a 2 vote update)

It would be extremely hard for that to happen. Chester only had two 0 vote updates.

Checked the LoL board. Someone there said that they tried to rally on reddit and the post got moderated.

Noooooooooooo


It was inevitable someone would try. The match/contest basically hinges on the r/LoL staff keeping their word here.

With that said the registered user bonus might take it out of their hands too. What's the story with that Luster?

If there's a rally equivalent to 2013's, the registered bonus wouldn't mean s***. There's simply too few of them.

To be fair it's likely some non-registered people are also spiting Draven too, because for one reason or another they are not logged in.

Considering it'd be same character SFF, 2018 Draven would pretty much only get votes from Ultimate anti-voters. I say maybe like 1% of the vote.

Using the adjusted 2010 stats to get Ryu vs. Amaterasu

Ultimate Draven gets 96.23% against Fraud Draven

Before same character SFF.

If you want to use Classic Link vs. Young Link as a same character SFF comparison Ultimate Draven would get 99.32%.

so no 'rise to the heaven' for Sephiroth...70% is not bad but Tifa finished with 73% on a Nintendo character . Does Geno beat Wesker? Tifa might be the 2nd strongest FF7 character now.
...
ctesjbuvf 11/2/2018 8:12:47 AM#477
Well, he's still gaining percentage, even if it's not too fast.

Unless Geno had been in Smash, I'd take Wesker over Geno for sure.
Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to BKSheikah, the winner of the Best Year in Gaming contest.
Geno was quite weak. In 2010 Ken (who Wesker was equal to) got 36% against Ganondorf.

Resident Evil seems to be having an okay contest, so I don't really see Wesker dropping too much.

This match was really the best. It had everything. Great first hour, thousands votes swings, DDoS/Site outage, 400 votes cuts right at the end, salt from both sides.
The result itself was controversial but the match was amazing. I dont think any other matches ate up like 10 stats threads by itself

*wakes up; checks results*...

-Sephiroth gaining barely 1%. I don't really know how to feel about that. We'll wait 'til the match is over to see if he can put up a nicer number.
-Richter scaling way up! Nice to see some Castlevania support.
-(Let's see if the casual votes benefitted Draven...) LOOOL! 88% already! Wait... 88%... Does that mean... Draven actually won the board vote?! Sometimes I just don't understand the difference between registered/Board 8 users and sitewide/anonymous users. It just doesn't make sense.
-Lara getting past the doubling. That's it, this is the last time I go with my gut instead of my brain to decide a match. (It's just 3% off of my prediction, but still!)
Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8.
ctesjbuvf 11/2/2018 8:46:10 AM#485
Reminder that Sephiroth is facing a character with trends more similar to his own than someone like Geno.

Safer_777 11/2/2018 8:48:19 AM#486
Came back from work, checked the results.

Sephiroth above 70%. This is fine.
I thought Richter would be stronger. Yeah I know about Captain Falcon but eh.
Do I even need to say anything? One of the biggest wins ever and it comes from Amaterasu!
I think Metal Man is just a Boss, not having anything else to do in MM right? So Lara is doing good I guess.
So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?
ctesjbuvf 11/2/2018 8:50:54 AM#487
I imagine Richter would be insanely weak if he hadn't been announced as playable in Smash, we have no data on him before, but Simon was trash in the past and likely a lot stronger than Richter.
Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to BKSheikah, the winner of the Best Year in Gaming contest.
Yeah, Captain Falcon was one of the worst matchups for Richter if you wanted to take advantage of his newfound Smash fame. Falcon is about as strong as someone can be with only Smash and memes behind them, so he's got Richter's two big advantages checkmated.

Unless you think Ammy beats Sephiroth.
