This is the Homestuck fandom. Earthbound could be a lot stronger, since this is the game that inspired both Homestuck and Undertale. I won't dare to make guesses for other games, though. (edited 11/10/2015 3:46:02 PM)report |

Undertale has dropped in vote total 7 updates in a row. Still cutting, but not the best sign. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Undertale isn't synonymous with the Homestuck fandom, even if there's some overlap there. --- http://i.imgur.com/0JdOe85.gif http://i.imgur.com/GzqvnBq.jpg |

without doing too much math, ME3 is probably going to finish with 25k votes so if Undertale wins, that means at least 10% of the people who bought the game voted for it for any other fanbase, this wouldn't concern me as a possibility --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Yuri_LowelI posted... People are overrating this really. When it comes to the business end of the contest these rallies wont matter. Well, this is how these things start. No one says Draven is beating Link because he beat Jak, or L-Block because of Laharl, but once people see they can be effective at changing results it builds. --- satoru iwata (edited 11/10/2015 3:49:25 PM)report |
Undyne posted... Undertale isn't synonymous with the Homestuck fandom, even if there's some overlap there. I would normally agree, but this is Tumblr. They breathe Homestuck. There has to be a big overlap. Anyway, doesn't matter in the contest sense, I was just happily speculating how strong Hivebent could have been. Well, gotta wait for the next contest. |
Janus5k posted... without doing too much math, ME3 is probably going to finish with 25k votes Like I said before, I think the majority of the Tumblr votes being rallied are not from people who actually played the game but rather from people who think the OP's story about the guy making the game himself is sympathetic. I'm also guessing a decent amount of the natural votes are ME3 antivotes. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Yeah, Mass Effect 3 wins. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
ZFS posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...People are overrating this really. When it comes to the business end of the contest these rallies wont matter. Once upon a time, L-Block led by one at the freeze. Then after 15 minutes, it retook the lead. It died after that, but that might be my favorite of the L-Block matches. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Going
back to the anti-vote and apathy argument, do you guys think it would
be different if Mass Effect 2 were here instead? I'm thinking a lot of
people would see the note and go "Yeah but I like Mass Effect 2 as
well." I mean ME3 is getting massacred while the other games in this 8pack are just merely doing much worse which says to me the rallyers aren't only in favour of indie games. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
ctesjbuvf posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...People are overrating this really. When it comes to the business end of the contest these rallies wont matter. Dravesn rallies were from an incredible rallying forum. And it still almost lost to link. This sort of rallying works for an hour or so and would scratch the top 10 games. Like ive said. Im not worried about small games being rallied to win that wont happen. Im more concerned about a respected game being rallied out by some random indie hame --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... ZFS posted...Yuri_LowelI posted...People are overrating this really. When it comes to the business end of the contest these rallies wont matter. L block wasnt even rallies. Most of gf users were voting for l block that year as a laugh --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
ZFS posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...People are overrating this really. When it comes to the business end of the contest these rallies wont matter. I was predicting a possible draven beats link result before jaks match was even over! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Thank god this is going to fall just short. I don't know if I had the energy to spread hatred to this Undertale s***. --- I'll be honest, those kind of statistics are alarming to me, and I have no idea how to respond. - ChaosTony Be judged by the seven stars. |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... Going back to the anti-vote and apathy argument, do you guys think it would be different if Mass Effect 2 were here instead? I'm thinking a lot of people would see the note and go "Yeah but I like Mass Effect 2 as well." Don't think it would matter much here (besides the starting gap being larger). I don't think most of the tumblr demo of probably mostly teenage girls have played the ME series either. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
A random indie game that happens to be one of the best games ever though. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
AxemRedRanger posted... ZFS posted...Yuri_LowelI posted...People are overrating this really. When it comes to the business end of the contest these rallies wont matter. Pfft, Moltar was predicting L-Block winning the contest before the freeze of its first match! ...As a joke, probably, but still! --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
The
only thing about Undertale that gives me pause is the comparisons to
Mother, but that feels like being fast and loose with marketing! --- satoru iwata |
Safer_777 posted... A random indie game that happens to be one of the best games ever though. Im not talking about todays match. And cmon undertale is good its not that good. Having said that. What potential does persona4 have of rallying? Because i would mind if that game won it all --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Safer_777 posted... A random indie game that happens to be one of the best games ever though. That doesn't really matter imo. I mean yeah great maybe a cool game wins a match it had no chance to win, but once the contest becomes a question of "will the rally catch on?" every other match it becomes totally pointless. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Yuri_LowelI posted... Im more concerned about a respected game being rallied out by some random indie hame Neither of these is true! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
If Tumblr likes this game then you can all be assured that it's garbage at best and an abomination from hell at worst. 1/10, would not play. --- I'll be honest, those kind of statistics are alarming to me, and I have no idea how to respond. - ChaosTony Be judged by the seven stars. |
Undertale is a life changing experience, and ME3 is a joke compared to it. Can't really say I'd be too mad if it lost, though, considering I never expected it to win. --- http://i.imgur.com/0JdOe85.gif http://i.imgur.com/GzqvnBq.jpg |
ZFS posted... The only thing about Undertale that gives me pause is the comparisons to Mother, but that feels like being fast and loose with marketing! The creator said he was heavily influenced by the Mother series. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
okay i just caught up any everything and uh what --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
There's no way Undertale will do anything to Fallout 3, a game that most people usually like. You're overblowing this. --- The only ray of light in my life is raytan7585. when thinking of Krystal, does GMUN's pants get overcrowded? ~ GMUN |
LordoftheMorons posted... Safer_777 posted...A random indie game that happens to be one of the best games ever though. The truth is that it was always the case though. The votals are even lower this years, doing what Draven did is even easier. (edited 11/10/2015 3:57:49 PM)report |

SSBM_Guy posted... There's no way Undertale will do anything to Fallout 3, a game that most people usually like. You're overblowing this. That's what people said about Draven and Mega Man X --- http://i.imgur.com/yrqRzHJ.gif |
It was never the case before CB9 except for like Starcraft that one time. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

Janus5k posted... without doing too much math, ME3 is probably going to finish with 25k votes Except as stated earlier, Undertale sold a lot more than 250k, and remember who is buying that game. It's the Internet. Not really a large casual base, though one that is focused on sites like GameFAQs and Tumblr. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
LordoftheMorons posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...Going back to the anti-vote and apathy argument, do you guys think it would be different if Mass Effect 2 were here instead? I'm thinking a lot of people would see the note and go "Yeah but I like Mass Effect 2 as well." But the vote boost is going to other games in the 8pack, not just Undertale. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
KamikazePotato posted... The creator said he was heavily influenced by the Mother series. That's cool. Mother is a good series to pull inspiration from. --- satoru iwata |
If tumblr gets their s*** together earlier this could be concerning for later rounds. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
If all Tumblr users are SJWs, then all Reddit users are MRAs. --- You dare bring light to my lair? YOU MUST DIE! - CDI Ganon |
Lightning Strikes posted... Janus5k posted...without doing too much math, ME3 is probably going to finish with 25k votes To be clear, I meant I wouldn't be surprised if the Undertale fanbase voted that much. They're nuts. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Nothing has to happen to someone for them to hate Tumblr. And Draven has to happen to someone for them to hate rallies. Mix the two and here we are. --- I'll be honest, those kind of statistics are alarming to me, and I have no idea how to respond. - ChaosTony Be judged by the seven stars. |
Janus5k posted... If tumblr gets their s*** together earlier this could be concerning for later rounds. Yeah, that's how these things start building. You get a game out to a huge lead, then you get people bandwagoning on top of that, and then it's just bad. --- satoru iwata |
DaruniaTheGoron posted...
Yeah, that demo is likely to have played games like Animal Crossing (and likely to dislike games like VC). what you're seeing there is the tumblr demo's preferences being averaged into ours. I'm exaggerating a little; I'm sure some of them have played the ME series, but I doubt it's anywhere near the majority. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 11/10/2015 4:02:28 PM)report |
I
think you guys are misinterpreting things here. This isn't 'tumblr
tries to screw with the contest'. This is 'tumblr REALLY likes
Undertale'. It's not going to keep happening over and over! No other
game in the contest is going to come close to doing this. No, not Hearthstone either. You don't rally against OoT in Round 1 and expect to accomplish jack s***. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... No, not Hearthstone either. You don't rally against OoT in Round 1 and expect to accomplish jack s***. Totally agree with this. --- satoru iwata |
