Averia posted... Ex-Kefiroth posted...red sox 777 posted...Fallout Reddit rally is now on page 1 of the subreddit. FO has a lot of fans, but I doubt they're as dedicated to the games as Undertale fans. Or maybe they're too busy playing FO4 to vote. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |

I hope you guys are loading up a Mario World rally next round P.S. stop using differential from GameFAQs strength to judge the split of rallied tumblr votes |
Just
a note: Rallying Fallout 3's probably just going to be too tough. New
Vegas is clearly the one that the hardcore fans like more, and the only
way to get the casual fan's attention is if it gets mentioned by the
pages on Facebook and Twitter. I'm sure Fallout 3's strength from a subreddit or something will be capped just because the fanbase is so divided about 3 at this point. It's kinda like rallying for Oblivion on a Elder Scrolls subreddit. |
Is there even a concentrated Mario community to really draw from? --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
The biggest problem Mario World will have is that you can't really rally it. There's no counter rally to create. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
Also: the vote totals for today are insane. We're already nearing what the previous Undertale match had after 24 hours. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Don't think so, the general Nintendo subreddit deleted rally threads last time I think? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

Wasn't New Vegas hated because of heavy glitches or something? --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? |
I think that if Undertale can do this again next round, it beats Super Mario World. Pokemon is the real roadblock. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Anyone have estimates of the backfire rate this time? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

New Vegas is clearly the one that the hardcore fans like more, and the only way to get the casual fan's attention is if it gets mentioned by the pages on Facebook and Twitter. They were fixed and, with the DLC and options in the game, the game's now generally perceived by Fallout fans as better than 3. |
LordoftheMorons posted... Anyone have estimates of the backfire rate this time? Impossible to quantify. Undertale has been rallying almost the entire match. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
lmao 73% updates but sure, Undertale has no chance against SMW/RBY, whatever you say --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
30 minutes until the lead change... --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
Aaand Undertale gets is best update of the match so far. The ASV lives again...! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
1100 vote lead now evaporating fast. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |

I wonder how the reaction would be if New Vegas beat RE4. |
Karma Hunter posted... lmao 73% updates It doesn't. Us fans know this. It needs bandwagon strength AND rallies to do it, and it doesn't have bandwagon strength. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Fallout
isn't getting a rally... or one that matters anyway, imo. Lblock,
Draven, and now maybe Undertale has/had some kind of meme/agenda. That's
why their rallies work. Whats fallouts? Its a "OMGGREATGAME" and "LOTSOFFANS? Absolutely, but so what? Excuse me while I yawn, same reason can be said for all great games here and they don't get rallied. (edited 11/23/2015 1:59:02 PM)report |

Karma Hunter posted... lmao 73% updates I'm torn between wanting Undertale to lose so we might have something approaching a return to normal before things go totally off the rails and wanting it to win to be vindicated in this argument. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
UltimaterializerX posted... It doesn't. Us fans know this. Stop acting like you don't know how contests work. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Pokemon's biggest advantage may actually be that it probably can be rallied --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Bethesda's storytelling is a joke Fallout 4 is the best they've done so far, which means it's average --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
For
those hating on rallies, you're only hating that it's beating your
bracket. If Mario 3 suddenly turned its match around, those who picked
it would not be complaining about rallies. I like you guys and all, but let's honest with each other here. You're picking and choosing which rallies you're okay with. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... Karma Hunter posted...lmao 73% updates Undertale has only 3000 fewer votes now than it had all last match, with 7 hours to go. It's much, much stronger than before, and it won't get weaker. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
VeryInsane posted... Pokemon is the real dealbreaker. If Undertale gets through that, then... Ocarina of Time will be an interesting match but OOT will be portrayed as the villain just because of the bracket positioning. Undertale would be the villain. Unless you mean on Tumblr. But I doubt they'd view OoT as a villain - they would be pro-Undertale, not anti-OoT. On here, Undertale would definitely be the villain by then, and Zelda would be heavily rallied. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
UltimaterializerX posted... For those hating on rallies, you're only hating that it's beating your bracket. If Mario 3 suddenly turned its match around, those who picked it would not be complaining about rallies. Incorrect on pretty much every count. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LordoftheMorons posted... Pokemon's biggest advantage may actually be that it probably can be rallied It can be, as the last contest proved pretty well. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
I
mean, Undertale winning really has very little effect on your ability
to do well since so few people will have it, so saying I hate that it's
hurting my bracket is kinda silly. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I wonder how B8 would react to a massive rally for Phoenix Wright. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
creativename posted... VeryInsane posted...Pokemon is the real dealbreaker. If Undertale gets through that, then... Ocarina of Time will be an interesting match but OOT will be portrayed as the villain just because of the bracket positioning. OoT would be the villain on Internet , since Final fantasy VII and OoT ALWAYS wins. Undertale would be the villain on gamefaqs but gamefaqs strength wouldn't matter (Undertale has a solid core that won't be utterly crushed). |
hmm....what are some popular Nintendo tumblrs |
Under 1000 votes. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
UltimaterializerX posted... For those hating on rallies, you're only hating that it's beating your bracket. ...This doesn't add up. We're all losing points on Undertale > Fallout 3 and you're claiming it can't beat SMW. So our brackets don't play into this at all, they can't! I mean aside from the fact that I wouldn't care if my favorite game was getting rallied to beat OoT, I'd still be against the rally on principle. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
LeonhartFour posted... UltimaterializerX posted...It doesn't. Us fans know this. Dude I'm a HUGE Undertale fan. This isn't like Draven where there were 32 million people to draw from. Draven, L-Block, Mario in 2002/2003, Cloud and Seph in 2003, Missingno until Sephiroth beat it, etc, those all had massive numbers behind them. The bandwagon effect, in other words. http://steamspy.com/app/391540 Undertale has sold 370,000 copies. Rally strength is literally all it has. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen (edited 11/23/2015 2:02:46 PM)report |
KamikazePotato posted... I wonder how B8 would react to a massive rally for Phoenix Wright. It'll never happen because I actually like Phoenix Wright. if I beat Undertale by next round and like it all of its rally power will die --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Pokemon,Sonic and SMW were always going to win todays matches before the rallies started and i had all 3 in my bracket --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
There's a difference between enjoying a result and also being interested and engaged in the contest. If a rally helps an outcome I like I'll enjoy it, but it still turns me off completely on contests. They are pretty much the very opposite of what I find interesting. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Averaging 70% updates on FO3. How far will Undertale go before it runs into something that can conceivably break 70% on FO3 in terms of natural strength? Before you even get into the whole thing that GameFAQs natural strength has little correlation vis-a-vis a rally's backfire rate. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. (edited 11/23/2015 2:04:02 PM)report |
if you think Undertale doesn't have bandwagon power already and it won't amp up with every round, you're being obtuse this is like saying L-Block couldn't win because it only won round 2 because DK LFF'd Kirby --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

LeonhartFour posted... KamikazePotato posted...I wonder how B8 would react to a massive rally for Phoenix Wright. Beat it after this round then. This way I can win the SMW argument. |
What's
our takeaway on SMB3/RBY, anyway? RBY probably wins but we don't know
by how much exactly because of the rally? We can't even really guess at a
% too accurately, can we? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Undertake
is pulling in north of 300 per update now. 80%+ of that is the rally.
Yes, this is actually in the same range of power as Draven. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
xp1337 posted... What's our takeaway on SMB3/RBY, anyway? RBY probably wins but we don't know by how much exactly because of the rally? We can't even really guess at a % too accurately, can we? RBY was doing well for itself before any rally happened so I'd guess 53% normally. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I've
heard suggestions that RBY was on track for an easy win without
rallies. People arguing this are delusional. RBY/SMB3 were more or less
deadlocked before rally power took over - and it's been propping up
Undertale almost from the beginning. The spillover is more pronounced
now that it's at full steam, taking an inflating of RBY from 53% to 59%,
but at no point has Undertale been at its 'natural' GameFAQs strength
against FO3 today, which is probably around a tripling at least. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
