I've never played LoL, but it's nothing against LoL. I just don't play PC games in general whether they're online or not. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Metal_DK posted... Is link looking weaker this year? I wasn't impressed at all with his first round. Link hasn't been in any well received games since like...brawl in 2008. lol I think Link is weaker but no Link could be worth 60% on his peak self right now and it won't mean a damn thing --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
vcharon posted... Gamespot isn't Gamefaqs, despite what this poll would have you believe. I think the point is that Mario is often more popular on sites that aren't GameFAQs, and even within completely unrelated game communities, Mario is still really liked. KH kinda deflates why it wouldn't work in a three way but could 1v1, though. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Kanz, when ("if" if that makes you feel any better) Draven horribly mutilates Mario, will you admit you were horribly wrong? I suspect you're just trolling though. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Although
against Draven, you can be assured that we're going to see the
strongest Link relative to the field that we've ever seen. Even people
that hate him are gonna be voting for him. It won't mean anything, but it's important for how the Draven-stats work out! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Geemer02 posted... Soooo... how about that LAW? It's DAW now. |
Draven
will surpass Links % against Raiden/Yoshi in a couple updates.. Does
anyone here think Ryu/MMX wouldn't perform better lol? Draven is going
to stomp Link. --- nt |
Why
do you suddenly believe "the internet" matters here? "The internet"
didn't matter to L-Block. You know who was helped by offsite activities?
L-Block. You know who wasn't? Everyone else. I'm not sure if you believe us to be cavemen or if you truly believe anyone is going to rally behind Link or Mario like they did for L-Block and are for Draven. --- Still smilin' :> |
Karma Hunter posted... Yeah the main biggest problem is this preposterously bad three-way format. Mario with ridiculous amounts of rallies on every Nintendo subreddit and whatnot pushing against LoL, sure, I can buy a glimmer of a chance that he pulls the miracle. Same thing with Sephiroth and Sonic. Neither of them are going to pull rank on the other and take it to Draven in the semis. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Sorozone posted... Honestly the best place to counter rally, is reddit itself, and the /r gaming section. Good luck having it catch fire though. Many rallies have been attempted on /r/gaming. I don't believe any of them have caught fire - they tend to be downvote magnets there. Anyone eager to stop the "Draven menace" needs to hit up the larger series-specific subs. /r/Pokemon is massive, and one of the biggest non-default subs. A few other subs - like /r/zelda and /r/masseffect - are also quite large. Post "We need to vote for Pikachu" shortly before his poll starts, and coordinate it so your fellow B8ers upvote the s**t out of it from the get-go. That's your best chance IMO. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
KanzarisKelshen posted... I'm the kind of guy who thinks that if GameFAQS is one of the biggest gaming sites in the world (and it is), then it should have a genre representation that matches the mainstream, and the characters should consequently be appropriately strong based on the impact they make on people and how appealing their character designs are. But it clearly doesn't. And this match doesn't really change that. The idea that LoL being turbofodder here was the only outlier in GameFAQs's preferences compared to the mainstream is just hilariously wrong. And yet here's the only place where it's being "forcefully corrected." --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
AxemRedRanger posted... Kanz, when ("if" if that makes you feel any better) Draven horribly mutilates Mario, will you admit you were horribly wrong? I'll make a topic, even. Just remind me come the finals (if Draven makes it past a hyperrallied Link). |
Link
would have crushed his group a lot harder, too, if people thought he
might lose like he will next round. Link in round 2 npd Link in round 3
are going to be insanely different levels, win or lose. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Mega
Man X is now projected to score 68% on Ryu directly according to
Draven-stats! If he can get into the 69% range, that's Link-level. Meanwhile, he doesn't even have 30% on Draven. And Ryu is about to be quadrupled by Draven. Based on this performance, Draven is projected to score 67% on Link by the 2010 stats. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

No, you're wrong on this. There is a previous instance of LoL fans coming out in force in the internet out there. This site (Joystiq? ****ed if I remember which) made its GotY poll a free for all between nominated entrants. Riot organized its fans and they got together to push it over the biggest games of the year by something like tripling the next entrant. If it happened before, years ago, and it happened again now, it kind of signals that the LoL fanbase is not just enormous, but supremely hardcore if it's willing to show up anywhere and roll over the competition. |
Here's some fun Draven 101 256 182 343 122 That's the 1:30am EST update for Super L-Block/Link/Cloud/Snake which totals 903 votes Draven alone is pulling in 737 in that exact same update |

Then that says plenty about your understanding of things. I mean it's like claiming if Lifetime is one of the biggest cable networks (which it is) it should have a demographic that matches the mainstream TV demos. And if you don't see why that's silly to suggest, then I can't do anything for you. --- Ace Detective for Hire http://i.imgur.com/N1ZFdnj.gif |
ZFS posted... Link would have crushed his group a lot harder, too, if people thought he might lose like he will next round. Link in round 2 npd Link in round 3 are going to be insanely different levels, win or lose. Link and Zelda series suck against rallies. Starcraft 2k4, Lblock 2k7, and now Draven. --- nt |
'Levels'
don't matter. Take Draven's normal vote intake per update against Link
and add 800 votes to it. That's what going to happen. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
The
only thing I'm miffed about now all the time I wasted thinking about
the matches and posting on this board for the contest. All the logic and
stats we have now from this contest are mostly worthless once Draven
massacres the rest of the bracket. When Draven won his first-round matchup, I had a feeling that the contest was going to go down the gutter. I should have given up on the contest at that point. But I stuck it out, foolishly enough. Could've saved so much time over the past 30 or so days.... --- Drop it to the floor... |
X has votes from Sudan and Belarus. He'll lose votes for stuffing. --- Fast Falcon ate my bracket for dinner in the guru contest. |
Do
you really have to keep patting LoL fans on the back? They didn't stay
long enough to see this topic or even visit this board. --- Still smilin' :> |
wow...
Its disappointing that our votals are so bad now that this is possible.
Please Link... I never root for you but please save this contest from
being ruined. --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. |
TheCodeisBosco posted... Sorozone posted...Honestly the best place to counter rally, is reddit itself, and the /r gaming section. Good luck having it catch fire though. Big? Yes, but LoL still dwarfs it in size. Right now there are 8x the amount of subscribers on the LoL subreddit compared to Pokemon, and nearly 100,000 more total subscribers. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
Ryu is going to get quadrupled at this rate. |
Rad Link 5 posted...

OK, so, following this analogy, who are the mainstream TV networks compared to Lol? Mario? Call of Duty? I can't think of many more that are that big and persistent. Zelda pulls in like what, a third of the sales Mario does each year? A quarter? Less? |
JJH777 posted... wow... Its disappointing that our votals are so bad now that this is possible. Please Link... I never root for you but please save this contest from being ruined. It has nothing to do with the votals. Draven right now is on a level like nothing ever seen before in these contests, including L-Block. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
60% get |
This match has half as many votes as the previous match and it hasn't even been 2 hours >_> --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
JJH777 posted... wow... Its disappointing that our votals are so bad now that this is possible. Please Link... I never root for you but please save this contest from being ruined. Draven would be destroying this poll even if votals were at their peak. |

I'm talking about this site. You know, the site where Draven was going to lose to Chie. On this site the preferences here don't line up with the "mainstream" and Draven powering his way to a victory doesn't change that. There's a lot of things different here and I'm genuinely not sure what you're talking about anymore. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

vcharon posted... Do you really have to keep patting LoL fans on the back? They didn't stay long enough to see this topic or even visit this board. Of course not. We were already there, if our sixty topics worth of posts on LoL are any indication. (Just trying to rile you up a bit here. It'd be nice if we saw new users for sure, though!) |
swordz9 posted... This match has half as many votes as the previous match and it hasn't even been 2 hours >_> More than twice as many votes as Draven's round 1 match at this point in time. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

I don't want any of that LoL filth spilling onto my board, thanks. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
-LusterSoldier- posted... swordz9 posted...This match has half as many votes as the previous match and it hasn't even been 2 hours >_> Haha well yeah at this point Draven was like 1,000 votes behind Chie --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
1337gamerpr0 posted... account-lock voting and suspend account making during contest time, problem solved There's no reason at all to do the second one.

I'm
just saying, it doesn't matter what Link got on Raiden because that
won't be the Link next round, even if he loses. Yeah, he'll still
probably lose, but when Link is in danger of losing, GameFAQs tends to
rally around him to get that extra push. Doesn't necessarily mean he
wins, though. Shepard is gonna be pretty rotten there, though. Single
digits. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
KanzarisKelshen posted... vcharon posted...Do you really have to keep patting LoL fans on the back? They didn't stay long enough to see this topic or even visit this board. Uh... yeah. The thing is the "we" you are referring to is the kind of group that has one character fail to score 12% in a match and the other, "strong", character lose by a healthy amount to Jak and Chie. You aren't going to see any of the people who are causing Draven to win this match. That's why it's illegitimate, pointless and the very opposite of fun. --- Still smilin' :> |

OK, so let me see if I follow you. You're saying that GameFAQS, at its peak, was wildly divergent from the true mainstream gaming opinion, correct? So that even then, what the gameFAQS voters thought (way back in the glory days of 2003, for instance) did not reflect the mainstream opinion on gaming at all, yes? My question then is, what reason do we have to think that is the case? What was hotter than Kingdom Hearts in 2003, for example? |
The question is: Why didn't the LoL Fanbase have the foresight to push Teemo to the finals too? --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |

That's exactly my point, and it's flying over your head. This site does not have a mainstream demographic. A site about FAQs and walkthroughs is going to appeal to different demographics more than others. It's why games like Call of Duty, which continues to break worldwide sales records, do horrible on this site. Nobody needs or wants a walkthrough for Call of Duty. It's why RPGs, which are a niche genre, do so much better comparatively. You suggesting otherwise isn't just a mind-boggling level of misunderstanding demographics; it's a willful ignorance of past poll results here. --- Ace Detective for Hire http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1132/ss02b.jpg |
also Nintendo should announce that new ZELDA imho --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
