GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1227
It's
certainly impressive so far, but I suspect Mario just handled the boost
Undertale got from round 2 to 3 pretty well and will still be meeting
the same storm later that Fallout did. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Is anyone watching the RBY/Mario anymore? It didn't change much, but this is also the problem - this is probably RBY natural strength and not undertale rally boost, which makes me wonder..just how weak are Uncharted 2 and Portal 2? Or how strong is RBY..? --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |

Oh, it's obviously going to get buried by the end of this, but it's still nuts. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Also the fact RBY is blowing Sonic out this hard makes me feel good for it in round 4. How much of that is Tumblr people supporting pokemon? |
Yeah
RBY is impressive, I'd be interested to see how it does against Mario
64 or FF7/Chrono Trigg... oh wait yeah that can't happen now. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
This is really impressive by SMW. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
Good
last update for Mario after dropping to gains of 30ish from the prior
couple updates. Guessing the rally is picking back up a bit now though. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
It's
probably not nearly as much RBY support as you'd expect. I wouldn't
expect Sonic 2 to be much stronger, if it even is, than Tetris. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( (edited 12/1/2015 4:01:55 AM)report |
ZeldaTPLink posted... And reddit/4-chan are known as the turds of the internet for good reason. Being better than them is not being "strict", it's being "civilized". This may come as a surprise to you, but free speech is actually the norm on the internet now, not the exception. No one has called 4chan or Reddit "turds of the internet", not since the days of /b/ ten years ago anyway. If any website is the laughing stock of the internet, it's GameFAQs, the only place on the entire internet that I'm aware of that doesn't allow its users to say "s***". |
I lol at all those people lameting this match as if it is the most boring and unexciting match in the contest... When it's still the most unpredictable match we've had in round 3. Never change gameFAQS. |
Come on, not enough people know about GameFAQs anymore for us to be a laughing stock of the internet --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
Yeah. GameFAQs WAS the laughing stock of the internet. Now it's just irrelevant --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Well this is disappointing --- satoru iwata |
Calling this the most unpredictable match of Round 3. Really. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
He said so far, which well, only includes like 6 matches And honestly even FF6 vs. Wind Waker was less predictable than this. At least there was a point early on where Wind Waker showed it might have a bit of a shot. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Takfloyd_mkII__ posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...And reddit/4-chan are known as the turds of the internet for good reason. Being better than them is not being "strict", it's being "civilized". Oh I know what the norm is. But you are wrong about three things: 1- gameFAQs is not the most moderated place of the internet. Most places I frequent are more moderated. Granted, I avoid places like Reddit and 4-chan. 2- The fact most people in the internet are jerks doesn't mean that is a good thing. 3- I am almost sure strict moderation is not what gameFAQs is mocked for. It's probably more closely related to the archaic format, the obsolence of the site as a whole, the elitist communities, and the very insular gaming taste. And you are kidding me if you say people don't mock Reddit and 4-Chan. Weren't you here in the 2013 contest? (edited 12/1/2015 4:07:54 AM)report |
You
know, there was a long stretch in FF6/WW where that match looked to be
genuinely up in the air. WW's cuts in the Power Hour and stalls in the
early night vote were admirable. Like I said before, unless you think the rally is randomly not going to power up for Undertale this is arguably the least exciting match of the entire round. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Takfloyd_mkII__ posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...And reddit/4-chan are known as the turds of the internet for good reason. Being better than them is not being "strict", it's being "civilized". Tons of places are more restrictive. In fact, just try making a topic on Smogon and tell me if it gets moderated within a few days. --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also...

Then00bAvenger posted... Yeah. GameFAQs WAS the laughing stock of the internet. Now it's just irrelevant Sadly, that's probably true. Two years ago I casually said to a friend I was looking for a walkthrough for a game. He told me: "Walkthrough? Do you still read those things?" That's sad. |
Oh god it's happening already, 2 vote cut --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |

Being better than them is not being "strict", it's being "civilized". Days? More like minutes. Then again, Smogon is not what I'd call a good example. You are more likely getting moderated because you disagreed with the opinion of an old member of the forum than for offending someone. (TL;DR: Smogon is incredibly elitist) (edited 12/1/2015 4:11:31 AM)report |

And now a one vote cut Is this the rally picking back up or is Mario just crashing for some reason? I suck at reading these updates and want to know how scared I should be when I go to sleep in ten minutes --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
Undertale's recent updates are insane. SMW is doing roughly the same. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
I
was on a Tottenham forum a few years back with a "CCC" about 5 pages
long that you were expected to read and have memorised, that moderated
almost anything, and that strictly adhered to a "play the ball, not the
man" philosophy which disallowed any kind of personal jibe - which just
led to a lot of passive-aggression, because people weren't allowed to
say what they actually thought. "ITK"s - people who claim to know secret news about players being transferred etc but are often attention-seeking grifters who know nothing - were treated as gods and questioning their sources or the information was moddable and bannable, which led to said ITKs becoming primadonnas who "refused to share their info" at the merest hint of an insult. It also led to fake ones and the "legit" ones messing with the community by posting cryptic information rather than legit information. Place was awful and oppressive. I once got "moderated", read the PM on my phone, but because I didn't respond to it immediately - I wanted to do it when I got home which would have been about an hour - I was suspended further. I'm not sure anything is worse than that place. --- http://i.imgur.com/wGndLtV.jpg Such a lust for revenge |
Mario gained again despite Undertale having the same strong update. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Well, here's to hoping SMW can at least make a good showing of itself. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
1 vote gain Hopefully the current push doesn't get refreshed for a while; if it dies down SMW can get some more gains in. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
The
vote intake at this time is about twice as much as it usually is on
normal matches. It's a miracle that Undertale isn't making huge cuts. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Haha, you felt a moment of hope What a noob --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
Undertale
is pulling updates it could've pulled doing its prime hours in the
other matches. It's not at full force yet, but it's a lot more than it
was getting at this point against Fallout. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Well f*** --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
And now we're getting to the insane moments as US wakes up. Go to school people! --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
None of the SMW rallies ever got off the ground, did they? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Yeah eventually the number of votes per update is going to push towards 3x instead of 2x and that's when it crashes. But it's still impressive that it can still hang with 2x --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
SMW has been very consistent the last couple of hours. Don't know about rallies. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Impressive,
but if I had to bet I'd say Undertale is going to score its biggest
victory yet today - in terms of percentage and total votes. It's just
going to get stronger and stronger. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Karma Hunter posted... Impressive, but if I had to bet I'd say Undertale is going to score its biggest victory yet today - in terms of percentage and total votes. It's just going to get stronger and stronger. I still think the rally has a ceiling. Eventually it will run out of people. The Undertale playerbase just isn't that big. We have yet to see it, though.

It has a ceiling. Not one that will matter when it comes to swamping GameFAQs's pathetic votals, but it has one. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Seems it is over for Undertale? Have the kiddies woken up? --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! |
Hmmm
just eyeballing things (not looking carefully) it doesn't seem like
SMW's numbers really boosted at all when Undertale's did, suggesting a
low backfire rate (low enough to be indistinguishable from noise) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Karma Hunter posted... It has a ceiling. Not one that will matter when it comes to swamping GameFAQs's pathetic votals, but it has one. But Link came close to defeating Draven (and only lost due to site downtime) when the votals weren't that much higher. Can Undertale match that? The Undertale fandom might as well be 100 times smaller than the LoL fandom. Sure, we are comparing Tumblr to the subreddit, not the overall fandoms, but how big can the Tumblr fandom be? |
Mario
World is still pulling in a bit more votes on its own per single update
than what both games combined for a non-rallied match would get at this
time. There's some backfire, it's just not nearly enough --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. (edited 12/1/2015 4:44:36 AM)report |
LordoftheMorons posted... Hmmm just eyeballing things (not looking carefully) it doesn't seem like SMW's numbers really boosted at all when Undertale's did, suggesting a low backfire rate (low enough to be indistinguishable from noise) This is the correct inference. Most of the backfire rate suggested by people is way too optimistic. Even against Pokemon it's going to be very low. Counterrallies are the source of what most people are interpreting as 'backfire rate', or just inflated votals in general from this round. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Just
makes you long for the mid-late 00s when any 1v1 poll would've laughed
off a 10k surge of votes. Heck even in GOTD adding 15k votes to, say,
Plants vs. Zombies, wouldn't have been enough to let it beat Mass Effect
(in a 12 hour match, at that). Does give me a bit more respect for
rallies like Missingno/Crono and L-Block though. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Fallout 3 > SMW? --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
SMW is undoubtedly stronger than Fallout 3. It's just facing a much stronger rally. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
SMW boosts and thereby gains! --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Maybe that /v/ rally Tak mentioned is doing something? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
