(+) Yeah! (+)

For some reason, Frog is still holding up a doubling on Dog.

Daxter's lead is down a lot now. He's down to 63%

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

Maybe they think Frog is a joke character? I wonder if Magus would be getting doubled in his place or something, lol

Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world!

The question is, if 4chan successfully doubles every cheat vote, well...that'd make them even harder to defeat.

4Chan is favoring Frog actually-- that match started 55/45.

Shouldn't be surprising with how much Chrono Trigger cheats !

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

I can't wait to see what the site itself has to say about all this. Seriously, I think Murray/Maya Fey is the only match that hasn't been tampered with.

Lucca's destroying Wakka, too, so CT's doing well!

But if 4chan does all this crap and Aika and Maya Fey still lose, I will have even more reason to hate them forever.

They like CT. Notice that Lucca went from being down 60-40 to now up by a large margin. And that some other classic FF characters like Moogle and Chocobo are doing well.

Old RPGs = Okay in their book, I guess

Sully is losing now. Only a matter of time before Luigi goes down.

Chocobo's about to lose the lead, actually.

But they'll probably favor Moogle over a GoW character.

Chocobo has been getting murdered by 4chan. I guess they figure Moogle/Athena are both too much of a threat to care about that match.

Cortana looking bleak but I could see her coming back too.

All about reading the stuffing my friend.

You're going to lose three of your Final Four in round 1!

You'll have to bow before the true winner!

(Because I'm only losing two!)

List of people that need to be in GameFaqs' next contest:

Navi
Garrus
Chocobo
Moogle
Otacon

Oh, and Mike Haggar.

You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.

Actually, I'm on pace to get about 10 first round picks right so far!

Outstanding.

Problem with Cortana is she's going down round 3 to McQuack even if she weathers round 1 so yeah I still lose a lot of points there

--
No problem!

Zero losing to Prinny now.

I don't know what the hell Gamespot is doing. They still don't have the link to the match on the front page, and they just let 4chan mess up all the matches like this in the mean time? Most of these underdogs won't end up winning once they start getting the actual votes coming in, but it just looks bad.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

Looks like the 4chan votes has dried up for now, barring them starting to stuff for matches other than Einstein/McQuack.

Why in the world would 4chan try to troll by voting against Navi?

Ya ain't in Mrs. Quitter's School for Resettin' Babies no more. It's time ya graduated, kid.

Servbots are funnier than Navi.

For real, man. They've certainly had no problem hyping the crap out of these contests in the past, and yet they don't have a link on the front page yet? Crazy!

Looks like the Janitors are cleaning up those topics on 4chan and now suspending people who make new ones.. so the votes should get a bit more normal now.

Only a few seem to be making much progress, as far as I can tell. Additionally, Garrus is still losing ground in a huge way.

On a side note, I'm glad they're not ****ing with Rush. Such an underrated character.

Now we're basically in the waiting period for if/when GameSpot puts the contest on the front page, and then well, then it'll be 4chan for Launchpad/Einstein rather than all the underdogs.

The whole reason 4chan is able to mess with things so easily is because Gamespot is a joke and runs 32 matches at a time. Don't the idiots who run that site ever learn their lesson?

Don't forget about the fact that rounds last way too long. I mean, legitimate votes are going to dry up really quick under those circumstances.

4chan's...well, 4chan.

For the record, Epona was kicking some major no-name ass before this happened.

Nominate E P O N A.

Just take between 20 and 40 percent off the lower seeded character for most of the matches and that's how it was/will be trending once it's on the front page.

Not even 4chan could take Geno over Dogmeat. That makes me happy, at least.

Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK

Holy crap, I got most of the round 1 matches incorrect as of right now. At the time of this post, I only have 10 correct matches out of the 32 round 1 matches. Then I find out that 4chan has messed up most of them.

It's still a little early in the match, so some of these results can change as more votes come in.

Are the vote totals frozen or is the advertising for the contest that bad? In 5 minutes a GameFAQs match would already have more than 50% of what the GameSpot matches have after 2 hours.

At this time, they haven't even posted a link or have a banner for it on the main page, so the only people who are voting maybe bookmarked the page previously and 4chan.

They should have a banner at the top of every page on the site, except for the pages related to the contest.

Update: Yoshi and Chocobo have their leads back, and Cube, Alyx and Diddy Kong are about to take the lead again as well. Also, Cortana apparently drank some Game Fuel not too long ago.

If 4chan continues votestuffing you can expect to see the following characters lose : Anything New Bioware, Anything 1st party Nintendo, Anything FF.

And that's pretty much it really.

You forgot Vance and Cube. Anything that's a threat is at risk for 4chan.

Cube and Alyx get their leads back, and Diddy Kong is very close to taking his lead back.

Funny how when 4chan gets bored of these, their characters die off so fast

Tails is trying to make a comeback here. I think Tails has cut about 2% in the past 30 minutes or so.
