I think Mass Effect will beat Undertale
I think Fallout 3 will beat Undertale
I think SMW will beat Undertale
I think Pokemon will beat Undertale

When does it stop? Keep saying it guys because this is amusing. When Undertale beats Pokemon there will probably still be people saying Chrono Trigger or OoT will beat it. No one on tumblr cares about the other game in the poll and they wont when R/B/Y is up next round.

I don't get why people seem to be so against any discussion of these matches with rallied entrants. Are we supposed to not discuss any match with Undertale in it? Zelda fans (or people convinced Link will win again) don't get so upset when people talk about an FFVII upset. That's what this topic is for.


Discuss it all you want!

Just don't act like Undertale isn't the favorite to win.

OK so we're done here. Unless someone gets a Mario rally going this match is finished already. Bloody hell.

Do we think this'll slow down for a while and give SMW to build its lead back up like with Fallout 3 or is this going to just keep happening?

Because if it does, I think RBY and OoT are done too short of like NoA tweeting the match.

Mario World is getting crushed, as expected.

The thing with Mario is that he's pretty much the default vote. Most people agree his games are great, but few have very strong feelings about them.

Pretty much ANY rally will take him down easily simply because voting Mario is so boring. Most of the people voting Undertale including myself agree that Mario is probably technically the better game, it's just that having Undertale win is so much more fun.

I think Pokemon will bring Undertale to a screeching halt though. A lot of the tumblr people coming in to vote Undertale will find themselves hard pressed to vote it against the king of nostalgia,


Do you remember how clutch Mario has been over the years? 2013 is the first year he's looked mortal, and this year is the first his games looked so.

The demographic shifts, lower votals, and insane rallying potential have not been kind to the plumber.

He had magic until this year. Kind of sad to see it get wrecked like this, in truth.


Don't forget he was beaten by Vivi last contest!

Nick's group could actually beat Undertale given CT's power this year. The problem is CT beating FF7. Ocarina in the final would be a coin toss. Link as the underdog reaches such a ridiculous power level.

FF7 is probably the easiest opponent Undertale could face.

It will have a much harder time against Pokemon. If it wins that, then a final against OoT beckons. OoT will utterly eviscerate it.

When Undertale is pulling 200 vote updates on Pokemon then we can discuss this.
12 hours from now, I don't think the most staunch RBY supporters will be thinking it stands a chance against Undertale. It'll just get worse and worse as we get into Tumblrs strongest times

Too bad SMW is getting run over already.

Makes me think even Pokemon is in big trouble.

save_us.Link

They have turned me into a Zelda drone. Oh the humanity...the indignity

(I mean I'd probably like Undertale, but more than OoT? I really doubt that)

This contest really should have been Chrono Trigger's time in the sun. It's been too long since CT fans had something good happen to them.

Okay, Mario World in trouble for now. Actually, let's do some math.

We are about 2500 votes ahead of last night's votals (at 1:50). So let's assume the rally has added 2500 votes. I'm going to assume, based on early votes, that SMW gets about 72-28 on Undertale naturally (I'll fix that later). That means that SMW has taken about 845 of the rallied votes, meaning it's getting a solid blowback of 34%.

Now, the rally started early. Undertale is probably, at best, 20% naturally on SMW. That means that SMW only has 245 of the rallied votes, or a blowback rate of under 10%. That feels way too low, though.

Nice work but Undertale's GameFAQs strength has probably boosted, so SMW's backfire rate should be a but higher than that. Not by much though.

the people voting are, for the most part, are not going to deflect at a very high rate, it's not like we're getting a truly random sample of tumblr users
I have had two thoughts since round 1.

1. A tumblr rally will backfire horribly for Undertale against Pokemon.

2. If Undertale somehow beats Pokemon it wins the contest.

Who's been saying Undertale isn't the favorite? 95% of the hope for beating it has been concentrated on 2 games: RBY and OOT. That hasn't changed, and won't change barring a genuinely surprising result (i.e. not today's).

"I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism."
260 updates left
SMW's lead - 2213
Undertale needs 8.52 votes per update to win
Based on the last 30 minutes, Undertale takes the lead in 5-6 hours
Based on the last 30 minutes, Undertale wins by 8000+ votes

That's a very conservative estimate, too.

I'd be surprised if Undertale won by less than 10k at this point.

Especially since Tales of Symphonia lost already :/

These rally's haven't even hit 10% (2% in at least one's case) of their notes from last round and it's already cut city.

At least Undertale is cutting all pleasantries and going for overkill instead of doing its best Cena impression like the last two rounds.


SMW is worlds better than Undertale, but it is obvious how downright rabid the fan base is.


When a game can resonate with/tap into various ultra rabid fan bases at once (MLP, SU, Homestuck, maybe a small dash of Touhou), you have a monster on the level of the lol subreddit when taking these low vitals into consideration
Can someone explain to me why Undertale is a good game?

And no I dont really care about the story or the feels or the memes or the SJW pandering. Just tell me why its a good game. From what I can see it looks like it was made in 5 minutes in Microsoft paint and plays like an RPG from the 1980's. If there is something I am missing let me know and I will play it.
can't wait to see how much ME3 beats SMW by in the X-Stats

I don't know why I'm responding seriously to a post with the phrase "SJW pandering", but I enjoyed Undertale's battle system quite a bit.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
People say Pokemon will get backfire votes, but I really think people will want to support the hot new indie game that's making waves and that already has strong communities around it. It'd have to be one hell of a backfire rate to make up for the margin that Undertale will end up beating SMW by, since I'd imagine Pokemon and SMW aren't that far apart in strength.

It wouldn't solve the core problem, but I wish this was happening over in the wasteland of Divisions 7 and 8.

Aside from the Mario Gauntlet, seeing the winner go against CT/FFVII, along with CT/FFVII itself, is another thing that's getting wrecked.

I'm not confident that there is no stopping Undertale.

It's going to win this contest.

It's already all over.

I love Undertale myself, but that just goes to show, if any small fraction of another site can do this, this really shows how our numbers are dwindling and how our taste in mostly only old games is hurting us. We need to adapt, and through that we may get more users. And through that, we may not be as susceptible to rallies. Of course they means they won though.
