transience posted... 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. i just can't imagine why there would be a rivalry between the two if not for sonic. take those away and like... it's not even close. --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
shane15 posted... 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. Impossible to rally to beat a mario world sure. If fallout needs an extra 1000 votes just to fend off Undertale (the amount it beat Me3 by) then that's doable. Easily. Im pretty sure my threads and posts have boosted fallout by a few hundred votes already. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
transience posted... 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. I dunno, I'm sure plenty would say that at least one Sonic game on the Genesis is one of their favorite games. Then again this could be if they just grew up on the game. Makes me think of how I finished replaying Link to the Past earlier this year and then pretty much forgot about the game immediately. Great game, but it probably would have had more impact on me had I been an SNES kid. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Yeah the rivalry really only started when Sonic debuted. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
transience posted... 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. Sonic 1 and 2 were terrific games. I never played 3 but that was supposed to be even better! You really seem to be underrating Sonic IMO. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Great game, but it probably would have had more impact on me had I been an SNES kid. i had this exact thought about LttP recently. It's a while since I played it but I see the amount of people revering it as an all time great and I feel like if my childhood had featured that game they would be VERY fond memories, as it is I just remember it as another good zelda. --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
I
feel the same about lttp. Played it back in 2004 and didnt have much
effect on me. But it was still a great game. Where's the Oracle game
hold a special place for me because those were my first 2d zelda and my
2nd favourite only to Ocarina. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

8.5 hour update: Fallout 3 is up 4955 Mass Effect 3 was up 5084 given that Fallout 3 has absorbed the first part of the rally this is pretty good for it |
Honestly,
I think that the Sonic games are benefitting the way that Pokemon
benefits from the site getting older. In the late 90's/early 2000's,
when most of the site were teenagers, Sonic games were very clearly
marketed as childrens games, causing backlash against the games (and
indeed the character). Now that we're almost 25 years separated from
Sonic 1/2, people are looking back with nostalgia on the early games
rather than focusing on the garbage new games. I expect Sonic to perform well in the next Character Battle. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Depends when we have it. If nx blows open like wii interms of popularity and we have more users sonic will get left in the dust. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

Sonic
wasn't marketed for children, it was clearly for teens. Sonic was the
hip, cool thing while Mario and Nintendo was for kiddies. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
5000 vote fallout lead established --- sharp. distance. |

It
still was, it may have shifted a bit towards 12-15 year olds, but you
don't get games like Shadow the Hedgehog with kids in mind. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
So.. people who underatand stats: how are Undertale's odds? The only thing I'm seeing is Fallout gaining but apparently Undertale has a good chance at a comeback? |
Just wait for the US to wake up. Then we'll see what Undertale does. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Halo may have lost but its ghost is lingering into this match. NOT EVEN A TEN-THOUSAND VOTE LEAD CAN STOP THE INEVITABLE COMEBACK --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
So.. people who underatand stats: how are Undertale's odds? The small fish ralliers are keeping it winnable, but the big fish need to start linking soon. If Undertale doesn't make a move by the time it made a move against ME3 then it's likely over. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
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. Except the rally is already ongoing, when it wasn't yet with Mass Effect. I don't see at all how Undertale could possibly win this. Am I missing something? --- I walk firmer and more secure up hill than down. |
the
only thing worse than Mario 3 losing today is the idea of SMW beating
RBY, continuing to perpetuate one of the greatest lies in history that
is SMW > SMB3. --- Communists |
Swarles_Barkley posted... 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. the rally starting earlier, on tumblr, means it has a chance to end up significantly bigger than it did the first time. people aren't even logging on to tumblr in large numbers yet. if 2000 people have reblogged the rally post by the time tumblr hits peak as opposed to 1000 last time, it could spell trouble --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
all
i know is that if these results hold i've successfully navigated this
day in battle bracket (and my actual bracket but that's still trash so
who cares) unfortunately i'd probably lose it all tomorrow on skyrim/goldeneye --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

RBY, continuing to perpetuate one of the greatest lies in history that

Fallout still running steady. holding its ground in % --- sharp. distance. |
Thought about the Undertale rally: Since the demographic is mostly high-school aged kids (also mostly female) and Tumblr lends itself less to mobile usage, was the last rally (and this potential one) an indication of the ASV? --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
The
impression I've got, which is entirely from reading the back-and-forth
here and could thus be way off, is that the rally taking off late in the
day in R1 was coincidental. It just happened to be sent out by someone
with a lot of followers then. Nothing to do with trends. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
AxemRedRanger posted... Halo may have lost but its ghost is lingering into this match. Glad I'm not the only one who was reminded of this match. <_< --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
It kills me to know who is that person and what is he doing right now Maybe he is playing Fallout 4 --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
The same guy posted a rally today too though. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
The rally started kind of late for an ASV. Who knows though. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Undertale didn't cut until 1.5 hours into the ASV and it didn't start making monster cuts until 6pm --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
Mario
3 losing is the worst! But it doing 45% is a good indication that Mario
World can get it done. I mean we're talking the SNES here. I'm also
thinking World is the top Mario game at this point, with 64 in second. --- satoru iwata |
well, the rally has clearly started and is still bringing in elevated votals, just compare this to ME3/Undertale |
Since
we have an ongoing rally (with about 1700 notes right now), if
Undertale starts making gains with the start of the ASV, that would
suggest a younger age demographic for Tumblr. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
tumblr
very much has trends - say I have posted something during the night, it
won't be until late in the day when people get home, get on tumblr and
go through their night's stuff that it starts getting notes.
admittedly, it will really help if one of those is a large blog,
but if 2000 blogs averaging 100 followers each (conservatively) have
reblogged it by the time the proverbial kiddies get home from proverbial
school, there is plenty of s*** yet to hit this fan --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
ExThaNemesis posted... LeonhartFour posted...Eh, there's plenty of room and variation for Pokemon to win 55/45 and still lose to either one of them. Without a rally? Tumblr is indirectly rallying it. I picked SM64 to beat it and I feel pretty good about that especially since most gurus did not take the same path. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
TheKoolAidShoto posted... the only thing worse than Mario 3 losing today is the idea of SMW beating RBY, continuing to perpetuate one of the greatest lies in history that is SMW > SMB3. SMW is better in literally every department.The fact people think SMB3 is better than it is one of the biggest mysteries in gaming for me. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
6000 vote barrier has been set --- sharp. distance. |
Fallout
is looking very good. It bore the brunt of Tumblr right off the bat
which ME3 did not have to deal with. You can't compare the leads because
hardly any rallied votes were coming in for Undertale until 6 pm.
Unless some seriously huge people reblog it I think fallout has this.
The backfire rate is too high. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
shane15 posted... TheKoolAidShoto posted...the only thing worse than Mario 3 losing today is the idea of SMW beating RBY, continuing to perpetuate one of the greatest lies in history that is SMW > SMB3. The worlds in 3 could be argued as better. Power ups too. Music possibly. I prefer 3 myself, but obviously World is a more polished game in many instances. Oh Mario 3 also has that baller card game. --- Whiskey Nick on his cell phone "Every man's heart one day beats its final beat." -Warrior |
Fallout only gaining about 30 per update now and starting to bleed % again :s --- sharp. distance. |
hey Leon, here I go again assuming this SMW/FF8 match is legit and using the 58/42 from before the rally last time, what does SMW get on FFX through VC and RE4? I'm guessing about 50/50? --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Undertale cut! :( hooooooo boy --- sharp. distance. |
This
match has had some funky 2-3 updates that haven't affected the larger
trend. I would probably not say Undertale is really gaining unless it
gets 5 cuts in a row or something. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Ex-Kefiroth posted... Undertale cut! :( And then it collapsed the next update B-O-R-I-N-G --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |

I would probably not say Undertale is really gaining unless it gets 5 cuts in a row or something. remember the first cut we took notice of last time was a 200 update one of those would panic me --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
