Is there a "list of biggest blowouts" in the contest so we can compare this?

Chester might actually win a match.

If there is one thing Gamefaqs hates, apparently it's Draven!

Wesker didn't have Resident Evil 5 or Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to boost him back then.

a while back i said i think even base draven could double cayde-6 because that's just how weak cayde-6 is supposed to be


We do have a 6 day Thanksgiving break where we won't have any matches going on, so maybe we can set aside one of those days for Cayde-6 vs. Draven as a bonus match.

Ammy's match is pretty tight, though. Think she'll make it to 90%?
Just how badly do you all think Wesker would beat Richter...?

Though Richter/Falcon is pretty much pure Smash at this point so it may not be the most reliable poll.
Also apparently Draven “won” the board vote. Ama might have a legit shot at 90%.
careful Ammy, you might upset the LoL fans

It’s pretty hilarious that Draven might be the weakest character this year.

I wish we got Dracula back into the bracket. I believe he could do some damage on his name alone.

I think it still would not have been too bad rallywise.
Without his power source, Draven would have lost to Monika and her puny rally, but I don't think Monika's had the same scaling potential as Undertale or Lol , so she would have lost next round.

I thought Draven would have gotten a small boost due to people recognizing him. Guess not. Remember Jak was at around 70% against him before rallies kicked in.

Looking forward to Draven being last in the xstats


And this so much.

After the Sans incident, I was expecting Draven to get anti-voted to oblivion. I expected just that but I'm still impressed!

I'm so glad I didn't lower my Oracle prediction. Hold it for the next 23 hours and we're good.

Putting it that way I should've seen this coming.

Draven is bound to be weaker than he was in 2013 due to declining League of Legends relevance and he's being antivoted
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
I really want to assume a constant Draven and just hand Ammy the entire contest on a silver platter.

Assuming 2018 Draven = 2013 Draven, how much does 2018 Amaterasu get on Spring Breeze Dancin’ through unadjusted x-stats?

Not much of an advantage for Geno with the registered users at all.

Mewtwo does nearly 3% better with registered users, but it's not nearly the same level of difference we saw with Charizard or Pikachu.

Ocelot actually wins the registered user vote over a Nintendo character, but bracket voting may have played a factor as Ocelot was the overall bracket favorite. Ocelot getting an MGSV pic might have also made him less recognizable among the anonymous users.

Mega Man X also wins the registered user vote over a Nintendo character, though MMX does act like a pseudo-Nintendo character in the contests.

a rally doesn't have to originate on the LoL subreddit. and it's possible that the reddit mods won't enforce the rules strictly. (these are both points doctorjimmy made a bunch of posts ago.)

i'm not saying draven winning is LIKELY, but i've seen enough weird s*** happen in these contests to be hesistant to go "YUP THIS IS OVER" after two hours.

Rallies require people to care. No one cares about League of Legends that much anymore. It's just a thing that exists with tepid enjoyment from the fanbase it still has at this point.
No problem!

Plus, it's difficult for lightning to strike twice with something like this. Anything that's ever had rally power in one contest hasn't been able to summon it for another one.
