Please not pokken ( Go Arms or Windjammers! But I'll take mahvel too!

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Damn KI... what happened?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Agreed, that kind of shit is disgusting, regardless of who's doing it.

Yeah. I personally want pokken to win, but it should have to win fairly, as should marvel. Plenty of fans on both sides have given tons of money legitimately and I fell it'd be a slight on both sides to just DQ pokken over this rather than to figure out which donations are legitimate, even if that means waiting a few days before finalizing results

 

[BronsonLee]

Pokken has clearly taken the lead on false pretenses
Not only should we disqualify the game we should ban everyone who donated from EVO

 

[Zack Zavage]

What about DOA5LR?

 

[Fancolors]

Pokken: $39,177

Mahvel: $39,178

edit: nvm. Pokken at $39,202 lol

 

[Aaronrules380]

Wow...if that happens pokken should be disqualified.

Why should one shithead DQ an entire game full of people who donated fairly? Especially since we don't know there a marvel fan isn't doing the same thing?

Yeah that's fair but if it was found this was how pokken won than it should be DQed even if it does take a couple days.

Why should one shithead DQ an entire game full of people who donated fairly? Especially since we don't know there a marvel fan isn't doing the same thing?

Until we know more than I think they should take a few days to make sure all donations are legitimate because you are correct that maybe someone on Marvel side is doing the same thing but either way this is pathetic.

 

[DrArchon]

Damn KI... what happened?

Marvel and Pokken pulled ahead super early and everyone supporting KI decided not to waste anymore money because they obviously wouldn't win.

I honestly think these things shouldn't show the results until after it's over, so no one knows who's winning until it's already done.

 

[Hockey123]

Wow, this got really close

Last few hours should be interesting to watch

 

[BadWolf]

Pokken: $39,177

Mahvel: $39,178

Pokken is ahead by a few bucks now.

Damn this is a close race.

At least Infiltration recognizes the GOAT when he sees it

It would be better if they subtracted the false donations from the total donations. Those who honestly donated shouldn't be punished for one dumbass.

They did that with the first one and that resulted in no one donating because everyone figured MLP winning was a foregone conclusion.

 

[VariantX]

Wow...if that happens pokken should be disqualified.

Thats stupid, to punish everyone else for the actions of one or two dickheads. Just remove false donations from the total and keep the shit moving.

 

[Lothars]

I agree.

if you would read other posts that I made than that's fine.

 

[HyperHip]

Man it's crazy that Pokken is neck and neck with Marvel, I thought it would be a landslide in Marvel's favor. Hopefully this means a little more exposure for the game regardless of the outcome.

 

[DrArchon]

Huh, I don't remember that at all. I guess the same thing would happen here with everyone just assuming Marvel would take it no problem.

 

[Hazzuh]

No problem with people who actually play Pokken like that but I have no idea how this is even close. It'd be like if there was a donation drive and Arcana Heart beat out Street Fighter.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Sigh... this is how it ends...

At least I donated to charity.

First Evo I'm not interested in since...shesh it feels like a decade.

Here's hoping for a last minute miracle.

The numbers are going to skyrocket on both games the last 15 minutes.

Also site might crash from people both trying to check the numbers and people trying to donate

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Average donation of 77 dollars vs average donation of 49.50. They have more money and Pokemon has a lot of dedicated fans. Rich dedicated fans.

 

[jett]

Pokken winning with dirty chargeback shenanigans.

Mahvel pls.

 

[Lothars]

I wouldn't count Marvel out yet especially after seeing some Pokken fans are planning to cheat the system.

I really hope Marvel wins.

one dude is now "some pokken fans". yeah, ok.

 

[Baleoce]

I guarantee you some random Nintendo fan is gonna plonk down 10k on Pokken as a last minute eBay special.

 

[sibarraz]

lol this dude about to get Pokken DQ'd and make every Pokken fan hate him.

Those 3 guys will be fucking pissed

 

[Loona]

What about DOA5LR?

Wasn't provided as a voting option, sadly.

 

[Lothars]

one dude is now "some pokken fans". yeah, ok.

Seeing that I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than that. so yeah some. I am not blaming the whole pokken fanbase, every fanbase has shitty people in it.

 

[BronsonLee]

This is a whole lot of heat for a game that peaked with Lucha Pikachu

 

[Meguro]

For what it's worth, I've seen more than a few Pokken people saying the image is straight up fake.
So take that as you will.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Well at least I'll have some extra time on the weekend if Pokken wins. No way I'm wasting time watching that.

 

[RockTurtle]

MAHVEL MUST PREVAIL!

Lets do a charge back on ANIME and POKEYMANS!

 

[Salex_]

I'm not sure what kind of numbers Pokken pulls in tournament entrants/viewership, but I imagine a good amount of the people who are voting for Pokken are general Pokemon fans.

Comparing Arcana Heart (amazing game btw, too bad the character designs held this game back in the west) vs SF to Pokken vs MVC is crazy considering how big Pokemon is.

 

[Hazzuh]

Average donation of 77 dollars vs average donation of 49.50. They have more money and Pokemon has a lot of dedicated fans. Rich dedicated fans.

805 people donating for marvel vs 519 for pokken and it's neck and neck smh.

Brexit, Trump, Pokken, this is the world we live in now.

 

[Fancolors]

Mahvel at a near 1k lead rn

 

[crash-14]

It's this EVO drive like Hilary vs Trump?

 

[Tripon]

For what it's worth, I've seen more than a few Pokken people saying the image is straight up fake.
So take that as you will.

This one is real though.

 

[Fersis]

#RIP Marvel

Pretty impressive showing of the Pokken community, legit didnt knew it has such a following.

 

[BronsonLee]

This one is real though.

That one is clearly Beef

 

[BossRush]

This is still so impressive that both communities are going all out for the games that they love. Let's never forget that.

I don't think it has that following. Nintendo has that following.

real question is who's gonna be up at 8am to watch it tho

 

[DrArchon]

One can only hope that whichever loses will at least have a sick side tourny with the top 8 streamed on Saturday like Skullgirls got. Obviously doesn't make up for not being on the main stage on Sunday with a $10k pot bonus, but the loser deserves something for making it this close.

 

[emb]

This is gonna get ugly, isn't it?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

This one is real though.

Beef doesn't have that kind of scratch.

Unless he's charging it back

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Wow, Pokken huh. I guess

 

[Tripon]

Beef doesn't have that kind of scratch.

Unless he's charging it back

He got that Nintendo credit card though.

 

[Seyavesh]
