Here's how the smash rally will work if it takes off:

Reddit rally first. This will be the normal rally/somewhat small. Melee won't touch CT with this, but it'll help a bit.

Smashboards rally: This is what will be devastating if it starts. Front page of smashboards reaches over 200k smashers. Twitter/FB both have 50k+ followers.

Top players rally: This will make melee beat any other rally. Some of the top melee players have twitter followers up to 300 thousand, even the semi-pros have 20kish followers. Just having Mango/M2K alone tweet out would push insane vote totals to melee.


The problem with all of this:

Melee can easily beat CT with a rally. Most people would want it to beat Undertale though not CT. Melees rally strength will be BY FAR the strongest the first time it's rallied on smashboards. I doubt smashboards will make more than one front page post about it(I'm an admin on smashboards so I pretty much know this), though it might tweet out about it. Top players will likely only tweet about it once. So once it goes up against undertale it's rally strength will be a lot lower than the first time it's rallied.

I don't want melee to beat CT if it loses to undertale :/.


I want it to beat undertale. Please let this happen.

However lets say it does beat undertale i mean it wouldnt do well against mario 64 or ocarina would it if most of these smashers are nintendo fans.

So normal order is resumed after the quarters.

As the preeminent (and sometimes lone) Nintendo fanboy stats topic regular, I take delight in letting y'all know that we sacrificed pitiful Wind Waker and the first 30 minutes of this match just to make this backstab all the more delicious.

Melee. Do this for Iwata.

Well, Undertale is basically Steve Austin.

Sure, it's a jerk sometimes, but hey, it's not THAT GUY! *points to Vincent Kennedy McMelee*

Assuming this Melee rally post can stay on the first page of the subreddit for the entire match, we should get some spillover into the Undertale match and the Melee rally voters should favor Pokemon.

Don't see how a game "deserves" to win if it can't win without rallying...!

No goofing, no trolling - I am legit amazed that Melee still has this sort of online presence. What a fanbase.

this, basically

Chrono Trigger deserved this victory today so damn much. Jobbed to Mario. Jobbed to Vincent. Magus lost to a sandbag.

Heh, something like this always happens to CT or its characters. Just something goes wrong and ruins it.

Two straight days of intense rallies, don't know if this board will handle it.

And that's what's so bad about this.

I really don't care about a popularity contest decided by which fanbase is most condensed somewhere on the internet.

Nothing interesting about that

Joke's on Melee, after the cloud announcement the backfire rate on a Smash rally in Smash/FFVII is 55%

If Smash had this huge rally potential why have we not seen it win do crazy things before


I can address this:

Smash has never been rallied on it's main sites, only reddit. Most smashers are not on reddit believe it or not. Not only that, but the competiteve smash scene(the most likely people to vote for this) has gotten HUGE in the past 2-3 years. The smash documentary + it's inclusion into Evolution(the largest fighting game tournament) over the past few years has made the community massive.

I don't know why people would want an undertale rally over a smash rally. The people voting on melee are people who have played it for 14 years and absolutely love the game, many do think it's the best game ever made because of it's competitive depth(as hard as a concept this may be to understand). It wouldn't just be fanboyism/tumblr nonsense, it would be genuine fans that have stood the test of time and aren't riding on newgamehype waves.

Also also, a lot of people rallied for melee will vote for CT. This I can promise you. Many, many smashers don't like melee much, though the amount of people that play/like melee is more than that it's still significant enough to get anti-votes.

In an alternate reality, the pre-contest casuals were right, Minecraft is riding this tidal wave of rallied votes instead and everyone on Board 8 is crying into a glass of whiskey.

Now crack that combination:
27 99 23.
a 60% update for Melee. Man, that's just gross.

I love chrono but melee was the rightful game of decade winner and one of the most entertaining games ever

These sort of cuts would put it way above undertale.

Melee will rise to sucess and save gamefaqs
