Been here since the first. I remember being so desperate over Mario vs Cloud that I started making 'vote Mario!' topics on the PS2 board. They were swiftly deleted :/

I used the same logic for both Aya/Sully and Tidus/DK...when in doubt, go with the classic Square character.

I skimmed through a Let's Play. Kinda knew the twist once I saw the game tagged with "psychological horror". Would have been slightly disappointed if I played through all of it just for that.

Prior to the new rule, I would have been 50/50, but knowing site users count for double, it'd take a rally beyond what Draven brought to topple Link. I don't see anyone here with that kind of potential.

A post created on r/overwatch with the intent to gauge interest resulted in downvotes with no comments.

In conclusion, their community doesn't care
...unlike...Monika...

Debating D.Va is just aggravating me. I mean, she's not super liked by the community. I don't think they'll auto pick her just to troll, unlike with the LoL reddit. If there's another character they think is better, I'm sure they'll vote for them instead. And the other thing, even though r/overwatch has 1.5 million subs, the only thing you see there are play-of-the-games. Any other kind of post is practically non-existent, barring official balance changes. I just don't see a rally on that sub gaining any traction. In which case, I think she only barely beats Aloy.

Arrrggggh, I don't know what to do!!!

Oh my God, just imagine if this contest turns into a waifu war between Monika and D.Va rallies.

That's it. Screw my bracket. Monika vs D.Va finals it is.

First option, plus I've found a lot of good games through these things. Never would have played Symphony of the Night or Chrono Trigger without the 2002 contest, for instance.

I never got into Starcraft until it beat Wind Waker. To this day, Starcraft continues to consume my life, for thousands of hours and counting.

When has a blizzard character ever been rallied?

You're welcome, little bro.

Blizzard games have never really been about the characters...until Overwatch. The characters are what make the game what it is. I think it'll be different this time around.

Ok, that's definitely a good point. I think the key difference though is characters like Mario, or Vivi, you expect them to make it a certain distance. The results only come into question when it's going to already be a rather close match. But with these other characters, they either completely bomb because there is no rally, or they have a good shot at winning the whole thing. So predicting these guys accurately is a lot more important, point-wise.

Cool. What's it about?

Describing and testing the functional organization of a subcortical set of structures called the striatum in the human and macaque brain. Essentially, the whole cerebral cortex routes its information through these structures, so some think that these structures are involved in compressing information into a single motor output.

I understood some of those words.

I don't follow the communities for most of these rally-able characters. I know Draven has been pretty neutered due to their sub reddit banning rally topics. But how about D.Va? r/overwatch has 1.5 million subs. Even if a rally topic got a little bit of traction, it could be a huge deal. My only doubt there is that their sub is basically used exclusively for match highlights. Any other topics are pretty rare. Not sure how active the Blizzard forums are.

Also, just recently learned about Monika and her game...was wondering why it was tagged with psychological horror. I basically guessed what the gimmick was. But I have no idea what kind of fanbase this game has and if they'd care about a contest like this. I'd thought she'd be complete fodder, but if she beats Wario, I think she goes pretty far.

Sans...I don't know. Unlike with Draven, I guess there's no reason why Undertale can't garner huge support again. But is this going to be like L-Block, where it was funny one time, and then kinda fell to moderate levels?

And then there's the new rule to consider. Registered voters count as two votes. But with how low the votals are, I feel like it won't really mean all that much if huge communities with hundreds of thousands of fans decide to join in.

As of right now, I'm worried mostly about D.Va. If she gets traction from any OW community, she can win the whole thing as easily as Draven did. But it's a total guess if that happens or not.

Thoughts?

Honestly he isnt guaranteed to win on this site. I mean Link beat Santa on fucking Christmas or Christmas Eve. Spider-Man would probably need lots of outside votes to win still and if the doors were open to everybody he might not even go far at all. I mean they could allow all game characters in and then still do stuff like R1 Batman vs Spider-Man, R1 match 2 Darth Vader vs Cartman to flush them out early anyways if they felt like it

Actually having a split bracket like that wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Have all the video game characters on one, and then the non-gaming characters on the other. And then maybe have the top four of each compete in a final bracket. Could definitely make things a lot harder to predict.

No, I mean it's not there. I've checked on both my desktop and tablet, and it's only available through this topic.

It's not there for me either. Even though it was on the first day. But I just checked Allen's first post in this topic. He said 'You guys are basically the guinea pigs before we announce it site-wide!' So I assume it isn't meant to be officially live yet.

The issue here is that there should be a statute of limitations on this sort of thing. If someone commits a crime against you, you shouldn't be able to open a case against them 35+ years later. If only because any "evidence" is going to be limited to 'he said/she said'. This whole case is so blatantly politically driven.
