GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1227
As someone from Wisconsin and an Undertale fan, the connection is clear. Every Undertale fan is from Wisconsin --- Currently playing: Atelier Shallie (PS3) Ar Tonelico 2 (PS2) |
UltimaterializerX posted... These are not examples of sabotage. They're matches you wanted to see. They're matches that would have been better than what we're going to get. So instead of one game equivalent to OoT in the bracket, we have two. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
So
when did the rallying start this time? Looking at the updater it looks
like SMW was never that high in %. Did Undertales natural strength
really increase that much? --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
LeonhartFour posted... The difference is we aren't going to get a quality match like we did with Duke/Wisconsin. We can agree to disagree there. If Undertale makes the final and has to come back from down 20k to beat Ocarina, I personally would find that a legendary match to end a legendary run. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
I'm
being serious when I say the best thing for people to do right now is
consider which 4 matches they want to be on a potential bonus day and be on your best behaviors so SBAllen doesn't get pissed at us again --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

JJH777 posted... So when did the rallying start this time? Looking at the updater it looks like SMW was never that high in %. Did Undertales natural strength really increase that much? It was probably here from the beginning to some extent. or maybe fallout 3 = smw new games making a comeback --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
I
don't think the rally is really snowballing at this point. It will
probably die overnight and Mario will build a bigger lead in the morning
before the afternoon rally crushes it. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |

Allen himself remarked at this. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |

If he really gave a damn about us, he would have the site go down for the next 21 hours and say "WHOOPS DUNNO WHAT HAPPENED CAN'T IN GOOD FAITH GIVE UNDERTALE THE WIN SORRY GUYS" --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |
I'll go ahead and say it. Who really cares what GameFAQs users think anyway? Well besides Luster but he's really passionate. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Man, this topic holding out hope that SMW could do anything makes me sad. There's a reason I didn't stay up for this one. Gave it my vote right now, though! I'm sure that'll be enough to stop Undertale even though it's now cutting consistently less than three hours in --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... I don't think the rally is really snowballing at this point. It will probably die overnight and Mario will build a bigger lead in the morning before the afternoon rally crushes it. Most of Undertale's rally power comes from America, a large chunk of which is asleep right now, so it's possible. But Undertale will crush World harder than it did FO3 in the end. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Allen would never hear another complaint from this board again if that happened. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Not that I think we can really steer this conversation somewhere else, but I'll try! So tomorrow we have SM64/TP. Personally I always felt TP had a shot at this, but I'll admit that was probably a minority position. With WW reigniting ZeldaFEAR though... I'm guessing TP probably benefits more from spillover too. Just wondering if anyone else think things are actually going to play in TP's favor now and make the upset seriously dangerous? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Do we have any issues about including the same game in multiple bonus polls? Either way I think the two matches we're going to want are SM64/RBY and CT/FF7 above anything else --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/30/2015 11:44:17 PM)report |

I
think there's sort of a breaking point for rallies of this nature. Like
Undertale barely beating ME3 or Fallout 3 is fine because it makes you
wonder if stronger games can take them out. However as soon as rallies
become so overwhelming that nothing else stands a chance, it becomes
boring. It's no longer a question of if something can beat it. It's
begging something to beat it, which doesn't happen. There's a topic up right now that compares the rally to Undertale itself, pretty interesting if you ask me. --- Tangy's Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII |
KamikazePotato posted... Do we have any issues about including the same game in multiple bonus polls? Just rerun everything Undertale affected post R1. We have a week. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
ExThaNemesis posted... xp1337 posted...Not that I think we can really steer this conversation somewhere else, but I'll try! going by this logic, none of the past contests ever mattered since its always Link or OoT thats going to win enjoy the journey --- http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |
xp1337 posted... Not that I think we can really steer this conversation somewhere else, but I'll try! I can see TP over performing, but I think the gap's too wide for it to take advantage of it. On the other hand, it's freaking Mario so TP probably 60/40's it. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
KamikazePotato posted... Do we have any issues about including the same games in multiples of the bonus polls? I don't. Also, there's still a pretty great chance we get FFVII/CT, so I doubt Allen will give it to us just because it had to share a poll with Undertale and it might have "tainted" the result. also I don't necessarily agree that Mario 64 is the strongest Mario game so I don't necessarily want it to be the rep against R/B/Y --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Ulti can you go back to just being super arrogant about your opinions It was way less annoying than what you're doing now --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
SMW
v SM64 might be a decent pick. I'm pretty sure those are both stronger
than SMB3 at any rate. Winner v RBY if this goes for multiple days I
guess. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
based on the last 5 minutes Super Mario World wins by 13 votes! |
I think we'll be lucky to get one bonus day, frankly. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... I think we'll be lucky to get one bonus day, frankly. good. i don't want contests to happen anymore, honestly. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |
2Dover3D posted... ExThaNemesis posted...xp1337 posted...Not that I think we can really steer this conversation somewhere else, but I'll try! Link's won roughly 66% of the character contests. OoT has won exactly 50% of the games contests (and will have won roughly 33% by the time this one is over!). That's not counting the contests Link and OoT haven't been entered in at all. If you can't tell, they don't always win. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Hmm,
if I had to pick one right now it'd be SMW then. Though that's what I
meant by letting things play out a bit more before deciding. SM64/TP might be good for some information even if it's not perfect. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

I'm being serious when I say the best thing for people to do right now is consider which 4 matches they want to be on a potential bonus day and be on your best behaviors so SBAllen doesn't get pissed at us again Should Undertale make all the way to the finals, I will ask Allen to not display the bonus matches on the voting page, which means the bonus matches only appear on the homepage. This would prevent rally spillover from the Undertale match, since the rally posts link directly to the voting page. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
How
fall will SMW fall? Getting crushed by ME3 and FO3 is basically a sure
thing, of course, but can we get Vice City (or FFVIII, sorry Leonhart)
under Life is Strange...!? --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Life is Strange ending up abnormally high on the unadjusted stats is going to be the best thing about this rally --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
Damn, back to 30 vote cuts Not tubular at all! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

Undertale has to win with 51.34% for Life is Strange > Vice City to happen, so that's all but certain. It'd have to hit 61.73% before we got Life is Strange > FFVIII --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Only 6 votes that time Getting closer to being tubular --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I believe in the morbid reality of LiS > FFVIII in the unadjusteds at this point you just want the train wreck to be as big as possible --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
