Board 8 > Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1304

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is really a nail-biter. Cmon Tifa.
---

Tifa's good people but X is my fam. I have some much nostalgia from X1 in the 90s that he or Zero might have been my favorite character before Link. And it still may be my favorite SNES game (top three with SMW and CT for sure).

alright who the fuck actually rallied r/hentai

I don't think so, Tim.

MMX isn't really generic main character guy

MMX is actually sub generic main character guy because what little characterization he has is actively bad. He's basically whiny about violence (while mercilessly blowing shit up) and then nothing ever comes of it.
---

I think Squeenix was pushing Vincent hard in the 2000s and stopped doing so later on, which is why Vincent fell in contest strength.

Zack Fair seemed to drop similarly between 2010 and 2013 and then he didn't even make this contest!
---

This match is intensely disappointing to me simply because Square does not catch a break. Everyone here "wow it's a shame that Square is getting the raw deal" and then votes against them anyway.

And yeah MMX kind of sucks.
---

final fantasy always wins time for something new!
---

Right. Vincent Valentine has his own game during that time, didn't he?

It's ridiculous that you have to defend the site daring to enjoy Tifa, who by all means is a well-written character with depth, when basically half of the Noble Nine are more or less avatars and proxies of their games/series. Like no one has said "it's sad X is winning just because he's a cool robot" but the "Tifa is just a pretty face/has boobs" comments are quite common.

lol

The only 'depth' to Tifa is her polygonal bust size

Hey I care about the good Square characters losing. Squall didnt deserve to be buried by literally Zelda of all characters. Tidus deserves better too. At least Auron and Vivi are somehow looking good still.

Yeesh, your Squaresoft persecution complex is getting to be really annoying. They are literally the #2 company on this site, yet you find a way to bitch about it every time they lose. Want to know who actually doesn't ever 'catch a break'? Any character that isn't Square or Nintendo
---

Like time to let a bit of the salt out

The most ridiculous post of the last 24 hours was Nanis going "wow MMX, I hope he can make the miracle happen", even though MMX had like a 99% chance of winning at that point. Because somehow it's always a miracle when a Square character loses a debatable match, even though it's all that's happened this contest.

If you're not super big on Nintendo/mascot characters than these contests are basically worthless to you at this point. You either stay for the stats or take a raincheck. And I love stats, but damn.
---

Still pissed Estelle Bright never catches a break in these contests.
---

This is the first time in 16 years on the board that I've heard people shit talk MMX. You guys can't be happy that Tifa wrecked Mewtwo and is going even with a guy who still might be able to beat Sonic and Crono?
---

Final Fantasy always win.
If feels nice to finally see an underdog wins.

I thought Tifa would win this match pre-contest and that Mewtwo was a big fraud, so no.

Now KOS-MOS is going to overperform. LOL.

For the record I do like X a lot and FF7 wasn't one of my first games or anything, I grew up with the NES. I just prefer Tifa better is all.

You were like 95% right. It's a moral victory at worst. Hell she can still win!
---

thats dedication
---

For the record, I think the degeneration of western characters is a huge problem as well

Basically every trend in this contest has been a huge problem

I mean, this post is one of the reasons MMX needs to win. The only way this supposed 'deep, well-endowed' character can win is by appealing to horny virgins on reddit. If that doesn't make ExTha think hard about why he's supporting Tifa, I don't know what will
---

What's the highest vote margin in Tifa-MMX thus far?
---

I guess I understand. Every year I still yell at Pikachu like I've lost my mind.

469, back before the night vote started.
---

extha please
---

Also, I must say that the Tim Allen censoring is still funny like 14 years later
---

We in this stallfest for 3 hours now
Only one hour and a half remains, I don't think anyone is going to run away with the lead, even if there might be a lead change

This match will probably end under 100 votes difference
---

I feel way better about Pikachu this year since the other Pokemon characters like sane now. If Draven didn't happen, 2013 would have been the year of the Pokemon, and it almost still was.
---

Oh yeah I am talking about X / Tifa

Does anyone else even remember we have other matches today

Waiting on that 2000 vote cut from Ammy coming up soon!
---

Everyone else needs to be calling out ExTha for being a hypocrite. He's almost as bad as Ulti on that particular scale
---

Jeez if you're going to rally porn subreddits you at least need to make sexually suggestive titles or something. For example:

"Tifa's really taking a pounding and needs your help!"

"Vote here to help push Tifa over the edge!"

Or something like that, etc etc.

I feel like without Draven, there would have been way less smaller rallies. Most of the weird outcomes came out after the first Draven match and I don't think that's a coincidence.
This has no link but I'm almost sure Squirtle > Cloud would have never happened without the Draven rally.

nice to see such an outpouring of support for X. who thought Mega Man X would be the only kind-of-rallied character this contest?
---

That was a cut that mattered!

Man this match is reminding me why I really love contests.

I've seen some people on this board talk about how they don't like MMX's pacifistic attitude being lame and Zero being infinitely cooler

The battle between the porn rally vs the Peruvian vote stuffer

What a time to be alive

I like seeing Amaterasu do well

What a good dog

Man that MMX rally actually is going to be the dealbreaker.
---

KOS-MOS basically stalled Ryu on that update. Is the porn rally really working?
---

It's been up for a while though and MMX isn't going anywhere.
---

thankfully the thing for me is while neither are two of my favorite characters I like both Tifa and X and it's cool it's a close match of characters I actually like
---

I would agree to a Tifa victory if /r/hentai really helped
---

I messaged whoever made the rally to ask them how many views their link got so we can see if it actually makes a difference

the subreddit has 112 people online right now and has 16.5k members, of course not all of them are on but the rally has been going for 9 hours and has a good amount of participation, so it's probably being shown to people who are just visiting reddit's front page while logged in and subscribed to the subreddit, not just people browsing "new" or "hot" on the MM subreddit itself

so if 112 people are shown the link per hour and it got to the "front page" but hour 3, then about 700ish people could have seen that link. it has 145 upvotes and 40 comments which is nuts to me, most people just click but dont take time to participate. it means they're fucking in it to win it
