I was never much of a Vivi fan.
The only thing I really liked was the fact she had blue hair.
Not the point. Read Daz's above post.

Yes. I loved the arc also.
Just because Rayleigh used an attack on fodder doesn't make it any less epic :I I mean c'mon.
Wow, this is … more brutal than I expected it to be.
fail
And fail it did, because Crocodile officially wins, gaining a solid 65% of the votes!
Looks like we're getting that Baroque Works final.
I really think it's not about loving the Alabasta arc or not. It's about the impact the whole arc had on the reader and main characters. Rayleigh is cool and all but seriously you can't compare his scenes to the awesomeness that is a villain like Crocodile. He MADE Alabasta! He is THE perfect magnificent bastard! It still sends chills down my spine when I think about that one scene in the tomb when Luffy tells him to give back what he stole and he just laughs in his face and goes like "Oh well, what exactly should I give back? Money? Fame? Trust? Life? Rain?" HA! .. the Peter Pan - Captain Hook vibe which the entire arc had was merely the cherry on that pie.

Okay, I get you're a Nami fan. Stop crying and eating tubs of ice cream. It's going to be okay.

I said a few pages back that I voted Crocodile purely because I like him more than Rayleigh:
Easy vote for the sand man.
Crocodile is simply one of the greatest, if not THE greatest villains in this series. Threatening, classy, and just so damn evil all across the board. He's always been my favorite shichibukai.
Rayleigh, by contrast….isn't as great. Sure, blocking Kizaru and training Luffy are pluses in his favor, but there's not much to his character. A lot of him is a mystery, like Shanks or Roger. He's.....kinda boring.
This was not a spite vote. No need to jump at me.

I was set off by your lack of campaigns for Crocodile and lack of hesitation to frequently quote mine with nothing good to say.
My bad.

But I did campaign. Not as often as you did for Rayleigh, but I still did.
And I'll admit I quoted you….for mockery purposes, so my bad.
Sorry for the double post, my internet is lagging.
A beautiful 35.00 / 65.00 percentage gap.. That's the least; I expected nothing less. Good.

It kinda…does?
I mean, Whitebeard sending fodder marines flying is cool I guess, but I look to Whitebeard's decision to let his crew go while staying behind to take the marines on alone, or his silent anger tossing around Akainu like a rag doll if I want truly "epic Whitebeard" moments.
Anyone can take out fodder, but the latter examples are entirely Whitebeards.
Same with Haki-takedowns, it was neat when Luffy used it against the wolves of level 5 in a completely desperate situation but against 5 kagillion fodder fishmen its somehow just... boring. And the novelty of "strength feat" moments like the Haki takedown wears off fast when suddenly everyones doing it; Shanks and Rayleigh might've come first, but Luffy (and even kid Ace!) has used it so much that its just no longer special.
But there aint no one ever gonna have another über-evil-hold-someone-by-their-throat-over-a-ledge-as-you-crush-their-beliefs-and-laugh-at-them-while-dooming-their-country moment. Thats Crocs, and no one elses.
Didn't rayleigh used haki in other to prevent the tenryubit_o girl to shot against Camie?_

Exactly, Rayleigh used Haki to save Camie, the take-down of fodder was just extra. I mean he might as well take out the annoying idiots at same time as saving the friend of Hatchi, who is also friend of Rayleigh.
The manglaze got manhandled

Zoro, Robin and Usopp were all reacting to Caimie being threatened - Rayleigh just beat them to the punch. But yeah, it was "a thing Rayleigh did", but it was never really played up in the story, and took people 9 pages to remember in this thread, so….memorable? Epic moment? Doesn't really seem so.
So you're a croc fan, that's cool. No need to prove how superior he may or may not be to rayleigh.
And even though I also prefer croc, rayleigh did have his moments. The chapter in which he simply talked to the crew in shakky's bar remains one of the most interesting and intriquing ones. Not to mention that you forget the moment of him arriving shortly before a helpless straw hat crew had to watch zoro be exploded by Kizaru. It was a desperate moment for the crew, there definitely was an "emotional rollercoaster" moment there.
Now can we actually move on and cherish the fact that croc won this match handily and we get an epic BW final?
It looks like…
...someone got sand in the glaze.
YEEEeeeeeaaaa... wat.
:3 Oh I'm all in for an epic Baroque Works final! Who knows maybe I'll even prepare some campaigns. :P Or maybe .. I … already did! >:D Remembers me of the many reasons why I love this tournament.
Finally the match is over. This means no more terrible Rayleigh campaigns.

Are you capable of not seeming pompous?

Nah, Hiroy's always like that. Since a year or so. Before that he was nicer somehow. Don't take it personal.
I was sort of joking. I mean, I could not really tell if some of them were being outputting on purpose(Ray lapdancing Croc half naked), or if they were really tasteful campaigns (Ray lapdancing Croc half naked).
And Juvar. I never really changed.
I was always a bit of an annoying tsundere.
Oh jesus this is some brutal back and forth between fans

Step back unless you want to get involved too! …....Where is the rage face icon!?........All I see is a smug, annoyed one, and that icon ticks me off!
APPRECIATE THIS
Fine, I'll appreciate this and move on with my day.
Great match. Great campaigns. I wish it never ended.

My bad, I remember you mostly from last year's tournament during Otohime vs Buggy.. which was awesome.

I'm honestly still burnt out from the match. Mainly because these things requires commitment and alot of time. These days I just don't see myself being deeply involved in a poll based message board popularity contest. That and there hasn't been much newcomers that left a bigger impression on me like Otohime did that year. I mean, I wasn't really working alone either. Everything was planned by me and 4 other people(including Buster Call), so there's group involvement too :3

I know how you feel about that, and yeah. That's exactly what I meant with you being "different" then :D
I tried my best getting her advance then too, but yeah.

My campaigns were aggressively obnoxious.
Just like me. It's what I'm loved for.
And you are ;) yeah those were great hehe but now enough with the praising!
Wh-

Were the mods too busy partying last night?

Anyway, Croc wins it and goes onto the finals.
