and now we've hit the part of the contest where I don't even care about crunching numbers anymore

this usually doesn't happen until the final

okay the Undertale rally was one thing but we're ruining the greatest rise from the ashes that this contest has seen in maybe ever

now I'm mad


We got to see just enough of the match to confirm that CT is legit and might really be our number 1 game. Then SSBM rallies and outright takes it out of the contest. Being a Chrono Trigger fan must be fun. >_>

No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.
Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest!
The desperate rationalizations from Meleers are killing me

Be like yoblazer; if you're going to exult, exult, get this weaksauce "SSBM deserves it" tripe outta here not even a Top 15 game

Every day the rest of your life is changed forever.

Also also, a lot of people rallied for melee will vote for CT.


Yes, looking at the updates, CT seems to be getting around 25% of the rallied votes right now.

it's never enough for Melee fans

they had to SABOTAGE FFX IN GOTD AND NOW THEY HAVE TO SABOTAGE CT

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.


Then lets donthis.

Lets make undertale/melee the biggest match in gamefaqs history. Im one of those passionate melee fans.

lmao this post is great. "Our fans for our games are more PURE than the fans for the other game"

The few Melee fans rationalizing this in the topic are using some amazing logic. Melee is a Top 5 game for me and this is making me shake my head.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
The cuts were slowed just enough to give me false hope. f*** melee. I'd have rather seen CT face off agaisnt FFVII and then Undertale than lose to yet another rally.

What about that CT Facebook group with thousands of voters ready? When are they coming in to counter this?

Melee is a vastly superior game to both ff. Chrono i agree but this isnt a normal contest.

Also lets not kid ourselves. The true final of GOTD would have been Melee>FFX. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this.

Omg went to play xenoblade x after CT hit 60% and come back to this.... Wtf. I guess CT should still have some hope the rally vs Pokemon really didn't do that much for Melee. Hopefully it dies out quick.

hmm

so I think I'm feeling like CT/OOT is a 52/48 type of match, advantage CT right now. not that it matters but hey

CT/FF7 is going to be a CT win though for sure.


Not a chance. I think FF7 still has the upper hand strength wise, but it's a moot point since the match is happening on Undertale day, meaning CT will lose the advantage it has with low votals.

Uh, KH, this Melee rally has already generated around 1000 votes in 40 minutes. If it's true that the Smashboards rally can do a lot more than reddit, it could rival Undertale. Keep in mind, Melee would crush Undertale on Gamefaqs.

I will remain optimistic in CT as long as I can.

You can barely post 60/40 updates on CT at the peak of its GameFAQs natural strength and rallying. Undertale's gonna snakebite and take SSBM out before it can even get its s*** together. Have fun with that!

I didn't say anything about being "pure". Just that a lot of people were complaining about people voting for undertale from tumblr that have probably never played the game, which wouldn't be true at all of melee. I think it's certainly fair to give credit to a fanbase that has lasted 14 years compared to a game that just came out and has FOTM hype behind it.

I also want CT to win, and have not posted rallies to smashboards lol.

I do think it's funny how Reddit has single-handedly made the stats topic treat Melee as if it were Brawl.

I'm also disappointed that we can't see CT's contest comeback in full, but damn man, it's still f***ing MELEE. It's not like Reddit's rallying for Wii Sports or some tripe like that. >____>

Now crack that combination:
27 99 23.
The contest can potentially turn into GFAQs, reddit and Smashboards vs Tumblr

Chrono getting spanked by undertale isnt going to be a pretty sight.

Chrono is already the indirect champion. Its the champion the site deserves but not the one needs right now.

Melee turning into a heel would be amazing

too bad Pokemon can never fully turn heel because it somehow redeems itself by getting put up against even bigger heels like L-Block and now Undertale

Link was lame in 2013 he should have been able to go toe to toe with Draven on his own power

Mario was lame in 2002 he should have been able to beat Cloud on his own power

Pokemon characters were lame in year 20xx they should be able to stand on their own power

My cousins are some of those brats who voted undertale through tumblr. They've never played the damn game.

I rather a game wins with its dedicated fanbase than a rally based on users people follow.

Thanks Hylian.

Undertale hasn't actually won any updates in the Power Hour yet. It's not just because the rally takes a long time to get going, but also because natural votals are really high in the power hour. This reddit rally isn't close to Undertale's in strength so far, but Melee would start off with a big advantage from Gamefaqs too.
