At
least this performance looks really bad against Draven's round 2.
Should Undertale manage to come back it doesn't look like it can
threaten Ocarina. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
SwiftyDC posted... Yeah we're in the dead hours. The way Undertale stormed back against ME3, in the short amount of time, FO3 isn't safe at all. Yeah but Me3 bent over and got lubricated with no.resistance. There will.be a ton of mutants Undertale will have to overcome. Im not denying Undertale makes a lot of progress. But at best it just keeps fallout to 58% --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

Fallout will do really well in the day vote. --- "With hard work and dedication, you can master the magical properties of your Gem and perform your own dance!"- Pearl, Steven Universe |
Nanis23 posted... Safer_777 posted...4th match=FF 8 is losing this much? Thanks to rally of course! I thought FF8's increase was natural trends. I know the game has a good-sized fanbase, but it's hard to muster up motivation to play FF8 with showings like this. Lol. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
That's... a very LMS thing to say. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
well,
the lead now is identical to me3's lead at this time. I don't know how
many votes Undertale has to pull from but if it can muster something
like last round, it'll win. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
transcience posted... well, the lead now is identical to me3's lead at this time. I don't know how many votes Undertale has to pull from but if it can muster something like last round, it'll win. Not if you factor in the amount of votes fallout will pull in. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Fallout 3 now has less of a lead than Mass Effect 3 had at this time. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
Wasn't Mass Effect 4 lead more than 9000 votes? Fallout 3 has less than half of that. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |

Safer_777 posted... Wasn't Mass Effect 4 lead more than 9000 votes? Fallout 3 has less than half of that. That was the peak of its lead, which was at like 4 in the afternoon. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
And what are the votals at each point? We're 4k ahead, basically they've needed 4k so far just to turn FO3 into ME3. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
Personally
i think Fallout is just absorbing the rally.The difference between this
round and the last is Undertale's rally started late on whereas this
time round it's being rallied from near enough the start and Fallout is
holding it off. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
Yeah
Fallout will continually be pulling in more votes than ME3 was.
Undertale could still win, but the rally would need to be stronger than
last time. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
charmander6000 posted... And what are the votals at each point? Yeah so the rallying is already underway and its not making any gains. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
fallout is absorbing some rally, but Tumblr isn't near peak hours yet. get the rad-away, it's gonna be a long day. --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
LordoftheMorons posted... Yeah Fallout will continually be pulling in more votes than ME3 was. Undertale could still win, but the rally would need to be stronger than last time. A lot stronger. Because fallout will be rallied as well to the point where Undertale will need to be Draven level and beyond. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 11/23/2015 4:47:17 AM)report |
I think that the problem with tumblr rally is there..it's unpredictable Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't both rallies start at the same hour? http://traceexcalibur.tumblr.com/post/132920488133/vote-for-undertale-in-the-gamefaqs-best-game http://traceexcalibur.tumblr.com/post/133777002778/vote-undertale-in-round-2-of-the-gfaqs-contest From what I see the first rally was posted at 10:40 PM and the second rally was posted 10:16 PM I am not sure if it's my local timezone or a different one, but still we are talking about the same timeframe And if this is true and I am not mistaken with my times, we still need to be afraid The rally went into full power only 16 hours after the match begun, we still have something like 9 hours to go But the real question is, if the first rally was indeed posted at the time I mentioned, why it suddenly became so powerful? Was it really just because one very popular person reblogged it? is it about gaining steam? is it because of a timezone? (daytime for US) --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Pretty much, you need popular people to reblog it. Undertale started so early this time because people remembered it from about 2 weeks ago. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 (edited 11/23/2015 4:51:18 AM)report |
Nanis23 posted... Was it really just because one very popular person reblogged it? is it about gaining steam? is it because of a timezone? (daytime for US) tumblr expert here - one popular blogger reblogging it is almost definitely the answer. the thing about tumblr is there's no indication of how many people follow a blog, that info is private. but we can gleam that traceexcalibur himself isn't a particularly big blog - his personal posts have single digit notes! the possibilities are endless, from the popular blogger not being around today and it never hitting his blog, to a different popular blog seeing it today... of course, the fact is, this time around the post has as many notes at this time than it did when the comeback started last time. the reach of this rally is almost definitely going to be far bigger than last time, with that in mind. --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
Based on matches last week and the last Undertale match, we have between 4K to 6.5K extra votes. If we assume Fallout 3 would get 70% of the vote naturally, it would have a lead of about 6300 with 4K less votes to 5300 with 6.5K less. With a lead of 4554, at 4K extra Undertale is getting 72% of Tumblr votes. At 6.5K extra it is getting 56% of extra votes. Let me know if my math is wrong :) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Still cautiously optimistic about Fallout's chances --- sharp. distance. |
At this point it's more about hope on running out the clock, but it only takes one person to change the match. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
Anyone
have an idea why the Uncharted vs. Sonic match has noticably fewer
votes than the rest of the matches, which are pretty uniform? --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
because people care about the others. nobody cares about Uncharted or Sonic. --- xyzzy |
Pretty
much, we have Mario/Pokemon, Rally and Final Fantasy/Mario, all of
which are great vote draws. Uncharted 2 proved last round it doesn't
bring in the votes while Sonic 2 can't do it by itself. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
MechanicalWall posted... Anyone have an idea why the Uncharted vs. Sonic match has noticably fewer votes than the rest of the matches, which are pretty uniform? These two games are complete fodder compared to the other 6 --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Poor Sonic :, ( It's not just SEGA that doesn't give a s*** about him anymore. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
MechanicalWall posted... Poor Sonic :, ( Sega do give a s***. They are just terrible at making sonic Games. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
I mean, not enough of a s*** to actually even playtest the games or be willing to delay them to avoid killing the brand. Not that that has anything to do with Sonic 2, though, because that game's great. And better than every other game that has a match today. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
I don't think that many people actually care about the sonic games, even back when. --- xyzzy |
Hmm,
one thing noone seems to be mentioning is that even with 8 hours of
rallying, the lead is still greater than ME3/Underfail. At a certain
point, there are only so many votes that can be rallied, and it looks
like that number is slowly getting exhausted just trying to keep up with
Fallout's gains. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
MechanicalWall posted... I mean, not enough of a s*** to actually even playtest the games or be willing to delay them to avoid killing the brand. It's not as good as world or Uncharted 2 but yeah 3Rd best maybe. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
transience posted... even back when You mean when Sonic was challenging Mario as the most recognizable video game character in the world? --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |

Ive set up several rallying threads on multiple sites. I still have few bigger ones I'm waiting for admin confirmation. So when America wakes up thst should be an extra 2-3k votes for fallout. It should help. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
the key word there is character. the sonic games were never on the level of a mainline mario. --- xyzzy |
Steiner posted... Nanis23 posted...Was it really just because one very popular person reblogged it? is it about gaining steam? is it because of a timezone? (daytime for US) And there is no way to tell at what time exactly someone reblogged that post? If there is, we can just go and check who blogged it when the rally exploded --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I don't think that many people actually care about the sonic games, even back when. That's re-writing history right there. Sonic was huge in the early 90s. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
Lead should hit 5000 in about 20 minutes! --- sharp. distance. |
transience posted... the key word there is character. the sonic games were never on the level of a mainline mario. I guess overall, but then what about the heated debates between whether Mario games or Sonic games were better? Although I didn't exist back then so who knows? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I
don't know how reliable these sources are, but these numbers are the
ones pretty consistently used, and Sonic 1 sold roughly 15 million
copies, which at least puts it in the ballpark of Mario World's 20
million. Both were pack-in games, so take that for what it's worth. I'd hardly say the games were ignored is my point. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |

(daytime for US) there are timestamps, yeah. and for reblogs, the note appears as "___ reblogged this post from ____" so we could keep an eye on where most people are reblogging from --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
america is weird. sonic was enormous here! --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
It'll
be hard to rally for Fallout 3 if it comes to it because everyone is
too busy playing Fallout 4.If porn takes a backseat to it then i'm
pretty sure this place does as well. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
IIRC
Sega focused on European markets more because the Sega Master System
sold better there (probably because the NES sold worse). --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
in
europe, definitely. in america it was big but I really think the
snes/genesis rivalry drove that more than people thinking sonic 1/2/3
were the best games ever. --- xyzzy |
The problem sonic has that it's franchise never made the jump properly to 3d. Mario 64 potentially being the strongest mario game shows mario got power of franchise evolution and longevity. Had sonic had 3-4 consistent top quality/revolutionary games on modern systems post Saturn his games would be more popular and so would his fanbase. Sofa dying didnt help either. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

SMW and beyond. You might just push the rally from Undertale onto Fallout lol --- Started from the bottom now we here |
If you had a Genesis you probably bought Sonic 2. Genesis wasn't SNES but it was still very big. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
