Just the first round and I hate this contest already
Hell I hate Sonic and all the characters in this series and I hate Tails the most but still how is he losinggggggggg No idea how Chocobo is so weak WTF at Captain Price... WHY IS ZERO LOSING TO THAT PENGUIN Albert Einstein will win the contest Yoshi is weak WHY IS MAYA LOSING I want caps for Geno but it gets old so why is he losing Toad...no comment(had him going faaaar) Compianion Cube underperformence Vivi -_________- And Luke but I expected this The rest are fine or I don't care about (mostly this)
And that duble post facebook thing can be abused and probably will I don't know who 4chan raids for this year (probably Einstein if I know them good enough) that double vote thing can totally destroy every competition
Nobody is a goner, the moment it gets on the front page, it'll be up to 4chan to stuff. No lead is big enough to not be overcome quickly at the current votals. 4chan isn't doing the burial that it needs to.

This 100%. The first rounds of these matches the last two years get about 50-60k votes. Most of these matches only have 2-3k so far. Once it gets onto the front page, it'll explode and a lot of these leads will evaporate in no time. At that point, 4chan will have to keep up with the vote intake with their stuffing, and they'll likely start ignoring all the matches other than Launchpad and Einstein so they can focus on those.
-LusterSoldier- posted... I see on the main page, but the link to their contest is located near the bottom of the page. They also mention their contest here as well:
But you have to hover over the area where you see the red square to bring up what you see in that screenshot.
Thats likely the best they'll do. I don't remember them promoting any more than that for the last contest.
Compared to a few hours ago, my bracket looks much better now. Vivi is pulling that comeback and could very well win the match. Cortana almost has the lead again and will probably go on to win the match. Weighted Companion Cube, Alyx Vance, Garrus Vakarian, Yoshi, and Luigi are doing pretty well now and should win their matches unless 4chan starts up another rally.

Dominic Santiago is making a comeback right now. He had around 41% a few hours ago and he's already above 47% and still closing in even more.
After Launchpad having around 77% a few hours ago, he's already down to about 64%. And Einstein is also around 64% after having over 70% after the 4chan rallying.
Garrus is over 60% and should be safe. Sully, Vivi, and Navi finally have the lead in the match. If Navi holds the lead, we get to see Epona/Navi next round.

Now that everything has settled down I'm missing 6 matches. About to be five once Dominic completes his comeback on Blob. Still, not happy. I made some dumb picks. And I should know better than pick against the joke entries.
Losing Picks: Wakka > Lucca (confirmed loss pretty much, 2nd worse pick) Dominic > Blob (only a matter of time before this favors me) Price > McQuack (sigh, with any hope he'll continue to comeback) Falco > Einstein (ditto^) Maya > Murray (too many damn skulls to sort through) Geno > Dogmeat (#1 meathead pick on my part)

Just a reminder to be careful about posting on GameSpot if you haven't posted there before. If this is the first time you've gone to GameSpot's boards your account looks like a new account from their side and can get banned easily even if it's an old GameFAQs account. If you get banned there, you get banned on GameFAQs as well. I think some people from Board 8 lost their account last year due to this when complaining about 4chan on the GameSpot board.

I don't have to worry about this, because I use a GameSpot account that does not have a GameFAQs counterpart. My GameSpot account is "LusterSoldierGS", which is an account that doesn't exist on GameFAQs. So if my GameSpot account gets banned, I don't have to worry about my GameFAQs account.

I think Elika and Athena still have a chance to come back, and Dominic beating Blob is almost guaranteed. I'm not too optimistic about Dog and Wakka, though.
EDIT: Dominic's officially beating Blob now! Good stuff.

Wakka > Lucca (my heart is with CT even though Lucca is the worst character from CT) Athena > Moogle (should be interesting to see Moogle in our contest) Elika > R.O.B. (is anyone of you ever own one of those ROB?) Falco > Einstein (should have known better.....) Maya Fey > Murray (is there such thing as "The Skull Factor" (TSF)
I have all of them losing in the next round except Athena > Cortana...
But Einstein will probably go over Yoshi next round... and I had Yoshi reaching the final four (and losing to WCC)....
Morte, "the other floating skull guy" is > then all those other chumps combined.

From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie. The black wind howls, and one of you will snap into a Slim Jim ooh yeeeah! -sonicblastpunch
-LusterSoldier- posted... I see that Cortana is apparently losing again. I guess 4chan started up another rally earlier.
I'd assume its the Europe vote for Dandelion. Witcher is based on a very popular novel and movie in Europe, so its a lot bigger than it is in NA. Its kinda like Monkey Island in a way.
-edit- Actually after checking the match page, there seems to be all kinds of low levels trashtalking so it does seem like its 4chan.
Wakka > Lucca (I had serious doubts about CT's Gamespot strength after Crono himself failed to make it into the hero contest) Athena > Moogle (why oh why did I change to this at the last minute?) Falco > Einstein (HEY EINSTEIN, I'M ON YOUR SIDE) Barry > Daxter (I thought that Alan Wake's popularity would be enough to trounce Daxter, but I was so wrong it is not funny) Servbot > Navi (I thought no one liked Navi, though I voted for Navi for whatever dumb reason)
I'm glad that I was right on both the RE characters flopping, but then again Sheva seems to be mounting a comeback, nuts. I believed that Baldur's Gate fans love Minsc and Shadow of the Colossus fans love Agro while Resident Evil fans hate Barry and Sheva.
Wakka > Lucca Cortana > Dandelion (but she's really close to having the lead again) Athena > Moogle (another close match that Athena can take the lead in) Price > Launchpad Sheva Alomar > Minsc Elika > R.O.B. Falco > Albert Einstein Barry Burton > Agro
Overall, it's good enough for me. Near the beginning of the match, I once had 22 incorrect matches and now I only have 8 incorrect matches, with 4 of them in striking distance for a lead change.

Wakka > Lucca (yes, ME TOO) Moogle > Athena (very close match though) Elika > R.O.B. (very close too) Falco > Einstein Maya > Murray
It really surprises me how many people picked Maya > Murray. I mean, Murray was the clear favorite, I just picked Maya out of bias because I thought maybe she had a chance.

I didn't know Zelda games were supposed to be linked. (No pun intended.) -freshmakerrrr Currently playing: Tetris (NES)
Funny reading your comments over the last 24 hours about how awful the vote-stuffing is. Looks fairly normal to me right now.
My currently wrong picks: * Captain Price vs Launchpad...should have known to fear the duck * Doc Louis vs Clank...getting doubled too. I knew Clank would win, but c'mon, Doc. Dodge and counterattack!! * R.O.B. vs Elika...has 49.8% though, so this one's not over * Falco vs Einstein...another duh, I should know better * Maya Fey vs Murray...didn't know either of these, but didn't expect MI to be strong. * Barry Burton vs Agro...apparently a lot more people have played SotC than I thought.
