I mean she's got a shot

registered votes counting double gives her a better shot, really

Squall's been clearly stronger than Zelda in pretty much every contest they've ever shared, even with the LAW was at its peak, but there are some intangibles that give her a chance.


The idea that Zelda and Ganondorf could win their divisions makes me sick but

I think it's likely.

Oh, Ganondorf should be the clear favorite in Division 1.

I won't take him to win it though because Ganondorf sucks.

Draven was holding back. We literally saw him play the "sticky topic" card during the match with Snake so we know Draven still had options to play. Also, the closer Link got to Draven, the stronger Draven's natural rally would have gotten. We also saw this with Undertale. Time and again Undertale's rally would back off significantly after breaking a little past the 50% threshold.


He was in MUCH more danger against Link than against Snake and he never got a sticky because I think they hadn't even thought about it.

Yours is merely a hypothetical. We can say based on the trends that if the site hadn't gone down, Link would have won.

As someone who uses reddit a lot,

Sticky posts don't matter nearly as much as highly upvoted posts. Stickies are usually ignored on subreddits or at least glazed over a majority of the time. Not sure if Draven had a Hot listed topic or not but yeah!


We directly saw the effect in Draven vs Snake. Draven buried the Snake rallies after getting a sticky topic.

Snake =/= Link.

Snake was running on exhaust and that was WITH David Hayter.

Link was fucking mauling just based on being the god of this website.

He did have an active topic at the time. We saw in Draven vs Mewtwo what happens if Draven does not have an active topic and even Mewtwo can beat him let alone a rallied Snake. This is also why people don't expect much from Draven this time. Rallies have since been banned on that subreddit.

Kratos is a major wildcard in the division with Yoshi and Pikachu. In 2010 he was roughly on par with both of them. In 2013, screwy as it was, he nosedived.

Now, this makes sense. 2010 Kratos was riding high on GoWIII hype, and that series had some excellent performances in both GotY polls and contests. Then opinion on GoWIII slightly soured over time, and the rapid releases of Ghost of Sparta and Ascension severely weakened it through franchise fatigue.

Then the most recent GoW came out and is probably the best and most popular the franchise has ever been. Easily GameFAQs's GotY so far (though Smash will slay it). Kratos will have undeniably boosted over 2013, but will it be by enough?

Good news for this contest:

A link to the contest is available on almost every single page on the site. Although the box shaped contest banner doesn't appear on the FAQ pages, there is a site alert that people will see when landing on an FAQ page from Google or another site. I'm actually surprised that a site alert is already being targeted towards unregistered users this early in the bracket entry phase. This should definitely help boost our vote totals to a larger degree than I would have been expecting.

Prior to the contest being promoted across the site, I was originally expecting average vote totals between 12500 and 17500 per match without the registered user bonus. This meant a combined total of 1875000 to 2625000 votes over the course of the entire contest. After the contest being promoted across the site, I think we might be looking this contest having a combined vote totals on the higher end of that range for the tiebreaker question (2250000 is the half-way point of the 1875000 to 2625000 range).

Yes, yo. The website went down and cost Link the victory. It went down right in the heart of the ASV where he was actively FLAYING Draven. It was like an hour and a half lost and Allen never gave him that time back.

JUSTICE for Link!

It does! When the site alert went up last week, it only applied to registered users. Beginning today, the site alert also appears to unregistered users. I expect this change will have some effect on boosting account registrations, but the largest boost will happen once SB activates the yellow site alert near the end of the bracket entry period.

you're also talking about people rallying a general group on Tumblr

people even saw Life is Strange and Animal Crossing benefiting from spillover

like I don't know that you can say the DDLC fanbase favors anything

in fact if they're consistent they'll vote for just Monika and go on their way

If we get Monika drawing like 60,000 votes while the other matches get 20,000 each, that would be quite hilarious.
