Oh, and yeah, tumblr's favoring of Pokemon is hilariously decisive.

Honestly that probably means it might have one of the best chances of beating Undertale! But I seriously doubt it.

Welcome to the League of Stickies.
The best time to rally Fallout is when it is losing. People will be annoyed into voting. They will balk at a result like Undertale > Fallot.

Alec, be careful there because there may be some updates that fall outside of the normal 5 minute cycle. In reality, here were Undertale's last 5 updates - 92, 78, 89, 88, 147


Thanks for that, Luster. I have edited my most recent post accordingly.
Seeing a rally start this early will be a good indicator of how much a tumblr rally can do and how long it can be maintained

This match will be what determines if Undertale loses soon or goes to the end of the contest

Yeah, contest over.


Undertale hasn't even cut yet.


Fallout 3 needs a 15k vote lead with 8 hours left to be safe.

It's at less than 2000 and getting stalled with 23 hours left.

This isn't going to get weaker as the round progress.

Sonic 2 just had a 67% update last time.

The Tumblr rally will favor Sonic 2 if anything.


It seems like Sonic 2 is favored on Tumblr. Sonic 2's last 5 updates - 185, 193, 168, 219, 219

The votals are still really high - it's going to make it hard for Undertale to cut.


They won't stay high forever. Getting into dead time...
btw r/fallout has like 30% of the active users r/leagueoflegends does, if a rally gets going there it could completely negate tumblr

Obviously what this means for later contests is we need to go back to less matches a day and 12 hours a match for the first round.

Look I dislike the idea as much as you but sacrifices must be made

Undertale could have a real interesting path. Tough match against fallout today, then super Mario world, then Pokemon. All losable matches if the rally isn't on point. Then the final boss OoT which would be the most interesting contest match since LSD.

Even if Undertale starts peaking now and takes the lead, it could still run out of rally votes by midday and Fallout could come back without a rally.


Also, I'm kinda wondering what would be better for my bracket lol. If Fallout rallies get involved it could ruin the contest more than Undertale could. If Undertale gets to Pokemon the backfire rate will be really high and it would probably lose. If Fallout rallies get involved then the backfire rate would be pretty low against Pokemon.

The dead hours should favor Fallout 3 under normal circumstances, so I don't think that's a more scary time than any other point of the match.

My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet.
I don't think Undertale will start cutting anytime soon, but stemming the bleeding is really important.
---
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
I like how people are only concerned with SMB3/Pokemom and Fallout 3/Undertale.

The other two means very little to the grand scheme of things.
---
Video Games are pretty cool.
I wonder if Fallout 3 has enough natural strength to go even with a rally spread out through the day instead of all concentrated at one time like last round

Honestly Pokemon is probably the greatest challenge to an Undertale rally in terms of diminishing the strength of the rally. Lots of tumblr folk would go Pokemon. Attrition and all.

That said, we'll have to see today how big of a rally Undertale can put up.

Well, there's also the fact that the natural strength gap of Link and Draven is like the Grand Canyon compared to the natural strength gap between FO3 and Undertale.

Pretty much. Social networks puts rallying power in the hand of people who might actually use it. Lower vote totals means we can no longer shrug off smaller rallies. If Undertale was down by twice as much before rallying, it wouldn't have won.

No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.

Video Games are pretty cool.
And you can't even compare the two in patterns. A high voted Reddit post stays at the top of the page and everybody sees it all day. A Tumblr post...someone could see that for the first time 5 weeks from now. Whether it shows up on someone's dash is complete luck of the draw. There is no centralized ground, you just have to end up somewhere down the chain.

But not the gap between Jak/Chie and MMX/Ryu. No question that FO3 is a relatively stronger R2 opponent for Undertale than Draven had for R2.

Yeah, if FO3 can keep putting away 40-50 votes an update through the night, I'm not worried at all.

It's a real shame too. A contest designed to celebrate this site and its userbase is ruined by a bunch of pre-pubescent teenaged girls that have never played a real video game. Or in the Draven case, a bunch of morons that are playing the worst game in the Dota clone genre.
