inb4 Smash 4 gets rallied and we have Melee/Smash 4 QFs |
you know, I wonder if r/smashbros can bury smash 4. --- xyzzy |
UltimaterializerX posted... The arguments aren't going to matter because I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL DISTRACT YOU WITH DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI Had to look the reference up even though it should've been obvious <_< --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
SwiftyDC posted... It's also weird that the Melee rally is only bringing in votes for that match. They don't care about the other 3. hail smashdrones --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I dunno, there's definitely spillover, I'm pretty sure the other matches are also well over their R1 equivalents |
oh, right, this is a weekend match which will change things from Melee/Portal. that helps explain the 1-5p jump a little but not enough to convince me. I'll look at a weekend match in a bit. --- xyzzy |
SwiftyDC posted... It's also weird that the Melee rally is only bringing in votes for that match. They don't care about the other 3. I disagree (unless someone corrects me), just by seeing MMX putting a freaking 45% on FFX. I don't think that's normal at all. --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? |
Yeah,
I think MMX's overperformance can be explained at least partially by
rally spillover. Not enough to stop FFX from being a disappointment, but
it's not in danger of losing to like Link's Awakening or whatever. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
MMX was doing that well from the beginning of the match though! --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
transience posted... you know, I wonder if r/smashbros can bury smash 4. just wait for the melee hell rally --- twitch.tv/bonedragons |
I think MMX was already putting up 45%. There's probably a spillover but not as much as the Undertale rally. Melee/GSC has roughly 1500 more votes than the other matches. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist (edited 11/21/2015 2:12:35 PM)report |
ctesjbuvf posted... MMX was doing that well from the beginning of the match though! MMX always beasts early and the Power Hour will jump all over FFX when given the opportunity. Like I said, FFX is still disappointing, but without the spillover it would be a touch higher I'd wager; this rally thread's been up for over 14 hours. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
this isn't a major effort. maybe 1000-2000 votes? the thing is, that could absolutely turn the chrono trigger match. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Really? The 4 matches last Saturday and the 4 matches the Saturday before that both only averaged 28,000 votes by 5 PM This is like over 7000 votes ahead of that --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
A
rally for Melle? It really sucks when you are on an opposing end of a
rally...twice! Okay I know that Pokemon would lose without the rally
too, but I thought it could score around 43% at least. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
The
big worry for CT is this match was a foregone conclusion - in the CT
showdown that rally's gonna be ready from the jump, and there are other
sources to rally Smash from that aren't r/Smash. Right now its best hope seems to be that it's just clean out of Melee's league. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
this match is also Chrono Trigger, Melee, Pokemon, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts though. or maybe the rallying is just not as one-sided? either way, we should have noticed it a long while ago instead of shrugging and just saying it was a good day vote. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I
think Melee has the most rally potential in the bracket, the scene for
Melee has grown tremendously in the last two years and the lack of
online play forcing you to meet other players via
Facebook/Twitter/Reddit has created a really strong social media
presence. r/smashbros is extremely active, and a tweet from a top player
could reach an absurd amount of potential votes. --- twitch.tv/bonedragons |
Ugh, one successful rally and everyone thinks they can do it. Good think this won't actually affect anything, but it still makes me shake my head. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
pj
stop whining. You should be rallying literally every game in the
bracket whether you want to or not. The fact that you don't like
rallying merely hurts site traffic and the fact that you aren't busting
your balls to get more Virtue's Last Reward fans out of the depths of
the Internet and onto GameFAQs just shows that you aren't truly what's
important to this contest and also pretend I am a Level 30 user or
something. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg |
dont make me rally chrono cross I will do it --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
A Chrono Cross rally would be pretty swell actually! SMRPG can go to hell! --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg |
Melee
rallies are an intrinsic part of its strength and part of the reason I
picked it at the last minute. Like I said before, there is still a
sizable competitive community that is rabid about Melee. Still think CT holds a slight edge right now but a decent rally could save Melee. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Agh,why did I listen to the people pre-contest saying that Smash wasn't as big anymore? --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
LOLContests posted... Agh,why did I listen to the people pre-contest saying that Smash wasn't as big anymore? I think you can make a legitimate argument that Melee is bigger right now than it has been at any point in the last 14 years. --- twitch.tv/bonedragons |
backinblack167 posted... LOLContests posted...Agh,why did I listen to the people pre-contest saying that Smash wasn't as big anymore? Does that make the Gamecube more popular as well? --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? |
From
what I've found, most communities don't really care about a popularity
contest as a whole. LoL Reddit and Undertale Tumblr was a rare occasion
where they did. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg |
Melee
isn't as big as it used to be on GameFAQs... if you count it at the
precipice of Brawl hype, pre-Brawl's release. I'm confident it would
have smoked CT at that time. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
transcience posted... found it What did you expect? It's Reddit, the biggest MRA site. --- You dare bring light to my lair? YOU MUST DIE! - CDI Ganon |
Advokaiser posted... backinblack167 posted...LOLContests posted...Agh,why did I listen to the people pre-contest saying that Smash wasn't as big anymore? No, and I would agree that Melee isn't as popular on GameFAQs, but it has more potential to draw strength from outside sources than it previously did. --- twitch.tv/bonedragons (edited 11/21/2015 3:04:48 PM)report |
Oh this is a rally instead of real Melee strength? Lame. Guess I should actually vote for my preferred game (GSC) now. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
What
reason is there to believe SSBM isn't as popular here as it was before?
Even if you think SSB4 isn't that popular that only affects SSB4. I
don't see why that would hurt SSBM. SSB4's limiting factors are recency
and the fact that the primary version is on the Wii U. Maybe it will get
exposed as a fraud, but I think it's going to end the contest looking
pretty good for what it has to deal with. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Smash,
in general, has been on the decline from the sky high point it was at
around 06-07 when Brawl hype was insane and nobody characters were above
the fodder line. today, while Smash is just as popular or moreso
globally, it doesn't quite hit the peak of where we were then. when was
the last Smash topic we had discussing the game? I see a few topics here
and there about doing an online match but otherwise it's pretty quiet.
Smash just doesn't have the relevance on GameFAQs that it did once upon a
time. put a game contest in '08 or so and Smash is absolutely a top 5
game. --- xyzzy |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2451-mushroom-division-final-super-mario-bros-vs-super-smash-bros Keep in mind that Smash Bros. did this with essentially the power of Melee combined with Brawl hype. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Melee will crush chrono. It will crush ffvii too. Its coming for ya. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Also, these matches are already well beyond where the last two weekends' worth of matches finished in terms of vote totals. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Votals will rise after every round. I have no doubt an oot vs ffvii final will draw in about 150k votes --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

I was thinking more along the lines of relative to one of it's contest years. I could see SSBM peaking due to SSBB hype before returning to a normal level of strength after it wore off. GotD was already over two years after the release of SSBB. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
you should probably doubt that a little it drew 155,000 in 2009 when vote totals were in peak condition --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
oh, I don't think it's much weaker than it was then. but it also lost to Brawl and probably would have lost to FFX/Majora too. --- xyzzy |

I don't necessarily disagree but I don't understand why this is a metric we're judging games by. How many topics do you see people make discussing OoT? It's still probably the most popular game on this site. --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
we've never even had a WHICH IS THE BEST SMASH BROS GAME EVER poll since Smash 4's release we had those weekly during the Melee/Brawl days --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Rally, huh If you remove 4000 votes from Melee than the numbers look pretty much normal --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
if you remove 10000 votes from MMX the numbers line up where they should tbqh --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
In fact let's math this out! In WW/Pokemon there were 31755 votes by 8 PM. Right now there's 39651 votes. That's an extra 7896 votes. Assume an...85-15 split for the rallied votes, so 6772 for Melee and 1154 for GSC. Remove those and you get... Melee - 17067 votes - 53.73% GSC - 14699 votes - 46.27% --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/21/2015 5:09:32 PM)report |
Those are completely arbitrary figures though. It's possible these would have been more popular polls as it is. Melee only getting 54% on G/S/C? I don't feel like it was trending in that direction. Melee was bleeding overnight but it would've stopped once daybreak arrived. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
seems like a poor idea considering there were smaller Pokemon rallies |

I
don't think you can adjust Melee because it's hard to tell. this match
hasn't really moved that significantly since about noonish. I think
rally-free this is probably 56-57% but how do you know? --- xyzzy |
And FFX/MMX for good measure. In WW/Pokemon there were 31755 votes by 8 PM. In MMX/FFX there were 38008 votes as of 8 PM. That's an extra 6253 votes. If you assume the rally spillover went 65-35 in favor of Mega Man X, that's an extra 4064 votes for MMX and an extra 2189 votes for FFX. Remove those and you get... Final Fantasy X - 18922 votes - 59.59% Mega Man X - 12833 votes - 40.41% --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
