GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1236
Oh wow, looks like the Melee fanbase is trying to rally here. Why is it the most annoying, insufferable groups are always the ones doing the rallying? LoL fanboys, tumblrinas and now people that don't understand the point of Smash and think the 'super fundamentals' in Melee outweigh the superior quality and fun in Brawl/4 --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
How did Crono hold his own against MissingNo? Need to get some of that magic in this match. --- 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 |
The rally is slowing. And Nick's FB post has a paltry 16 likes. It's not doing anything at all to counter this. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Melee is absolutely the heel of the contest right now --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
nobody ever rallies for something I want to win if I had just gone full reverse jinx and voted for Melee this would never have happened I take full responsibility for this guys --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
He had GameFAQs support, which has dwindled significantly. --- Watch me play games! http://www.twitch.tv/lordofdabu |
54/46 huh sure, you've totally got Undertale's number with updates like that --- Goddamn Ocarina of Time |

LeonhartFour posted... nobody ever rallies for something I want to win vote for melee in the finals so the greatest upset of all time can happen with ocarina of time taking the contest --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Karma Hunter posted... This smashboards and 'pro players' junk is a bunch of self-important drivel, hot air meant to inflate their sense of self-importance. Neither will chrono or ffvii. So basically you want it to win and noone else should rally. If undertale goes down to another rally. It will be the greatest thing to happen to this site. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Oh wow, looks like the Melee fanbase is trying to rally here. Oh man this rally just got that much sweeter --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... transience posted...hmm Because of a FF7 boost from the recent announcement? CT was on route for 61+% on SSBM and FF7 only managed 65% on SSB4. I can't see how you could think FF7 is stronger unless you think it boosted from the announcement. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |

Ehhhh, I would have thought more of those tens of thousands that left would be more partial to Missingno, really. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest runner-up. |
I need to choose my vote carefully in Pokemon/Undertale tomorrow. It could decide the fate of the contest. I wonder what would happen if I just didn't vote. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Melee
can beat Undertale. it's already going to start out in the 70/30 range -
add in rally votes and Undertale's going to be hard pressed to do those
crazy 200 vote cuts. it can still win if it can just flex up as needed
but something tells me the Smash guys can do the same. --- xyzzy |

On the plus side, it would be pretty amazing if this ends up happening to BOTH rallies: EDIT: FFVII SPOILER ALERT http://tinyurl.com/zlhwpd7 --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! (edited 12/6/2015 10:20:59 PM)report |

Karma Hunter posted... 54/46 huh Undertales rallies are mediocre until about 10 hours before the end. Also this isnt even smash rallies at its best. But for some reason youre scared undertale might lose. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Team Rocket Elite posted... BlAcK TuRtLe posted...transience posted...hmm Controversial opinion, SSB4 is likely close to Melee in strength. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
_SecretSquirrel posted... Ehhhh, I would have thought more of those tens of thousands that left would be more partial to Missingno, really. No? The point is that GameFAQs used to be able to shake off rallies like this because our natural vote totals were so high no outside rally could swing anything that wasn't already a really close match. If this is 2010, CT is drawing in so many natural GameFAQs votes that Melee wouldn't even be cutting it at all right now. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
If anyone is skeptical of the melee numbers that could be supporting this: https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen This is Leffens twitter. He is sponsored by TSM. Yes, the League of legends TSM. He has over 300 thousand twitter followers. This is just one top player. You think this couldn't beat undertale? --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
LOLContests posted... On the plus side, it would be pretty amazing if this ends up happening to BOTH rallies: Well, if I can't get the vindication of taking CT to the final four, that might actually be pretty satisfying. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest runner-up. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Team Rocket Elite posted...BlAcK TuRtLe posted...transience posted...hmm So do you take Wind Waker over Chrono Trigger? Because if SSB4 is close to Melee then Wind Waker blows CT out of the water. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Holy
s***, I left for half an hour, where is the rally coming from? Reddit
has been pretty lackluster for Nintendo rallies/counter-rallies so far
this contest, did they just decide to wake up? --- PSN: Simmons-94 |
Team Rocket Elite posted... BlAcK TuRtLe posted...transience posted...hmm Yeah ffvii isnt besting ct if that happens. No chance. Naturally oot / ct would be a great match. Ffvii is #3 now. Deal with it fanboys. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Yuri_LowelI posted... Karma Hunter posted...54/46 huh Oh, puh-leeze, big talk when all you're doing is dwindling with no end in sight. And heck, I'm so confident in Undertale, I'll rally for SSBM right along with you, and I bet it still crashes and burns! Oh, it'll be so sweet to see. --- Goddamn Ocarina of Time |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... ShatteredElysium posted...And yeah I'd rather have undertale win than this. When games with legit strength rally it's way lamer as it should be able to stand on its own internal strength. Yes they were. When both games have strength I want legit results. I have no preference between CT and Melee, I just hate that the legit result is being ruined by this nonsense. |
LeonhartFour posted... _SecretSquirrel posted...Ehhhh, I would have thought more of those tens of thousands that left would be more partial to Missingno, really. I suppose, but in 2010's climate, I'd have taken Melee as the stronger game, and not really looked back. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest runner-up. |

Crono
vs MissingNo was more than natural gamefaqs strength. He got more votes
in that match than some of the polls did total in that round. I just
don't know where to rally for something like CT. --- 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 |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Team Rocket Elite posted...BlAcK TuRtLe posted...transience posted...hmm Uh, define "close"...? You don't seriously think Melee would let Mass Effect 1 get so close to it, do you? Especially after ME2 laid an egg the size of Montana yesterday? --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
davidponte posted... Holy s***, I left for half an hour, where is the rally coming from? Reddit has been pretty lackluster for Nintendo rallies/counter-rallies so far this contest, did they just decide to wake up? Melee community is very active. Melee supporters have been calling this possibility for weeks. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Hylian88 posted... If anyone is skeptical of the melee numbers that could be supporting this: As if even a microscopic fraction of those followers will vote just because he tweets, not even discarding those that aren't even real. Oh, and of course that's assuming you can even get him to tweet about it at all. --- Goddamn Ocarina of Time |
ShatteredElysium posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...ShatteredElysium posted...And yeah I'd rather have undertale win than this. When games with legit strength rally it's way lamer as it should be able to stand on its own internal strength. Man imagine calling the Mario/Cloud match lame and a ruined result lol --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
CT/SSBM
now has 1539 more votes than OOT/FFIX did. The rally is slowing down
and CT should be back to gaining before too much longer. It'll have
until morning to gain. As far as Gamefaqs trends go, Melee is one of the very few things worse than CT at the dead zone/Europe, and has a very strong power hour, so natural trends favor CT. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Hylian88 posted... If anyone is skeptical of the melee numbers that could be supporting this: Dude. Lots of stuff could beat undertale. The problem is getting those rallies to work ON THE DAY. If every melee fan voted for melee and every undertale fan voted for undertale...melee wins 90-10. Its not even close lets be real. But the undertale rally is well underway. We need every rallying power we can get but it has to be one that works this round and the next. If it picks up steam and attention of course it can take down undertale. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

I took melee over CT in my bracket for this very reason lol. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
didn't cjayc get really upset about the mario/cloud result though? --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness |

red sox 777 posted... CT/SSBM now has 1539 more votes than OOT/FFIX did. The rally is slowing down and CT should be back to gaining before too much longer. It'll have until morning to gain. The problem is that reddit rallies (depending on the subreddit) don't just ebb when they're done. This same post could pick up serious steam in the morning. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Melee is currently taking a dump on the feel-good story of this contest Amazing --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

SeabassDebeste posted... didn't cjayc get really upset about the mario/cloud result though? I don't think so, but even if he did since when is his opinion the one that counts? He let Mario beat Crono with cheating for God's sake lol --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Controversial opinion, SSB4 is likely close to Melee in strength. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6121-best-game-ever-day-18-round-2-smash-bros-wii-u-vs-mass http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6064-best-game-ever-day-4-super-mario-galaxy-2-vs-mass-effect http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6148-best-game-ever-day-25-round-3-smash-bros-melee-vs-kingdom Stronger than SSBM with that lousy performance on Mass Effect (and indirectly SMG2)? You think SMG2 would be competitive with Kingdom Hearts? --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
CT
barely holding onto the lead in North America: 50.13% in the US and
50.39% in Canada. CT holding in the 60s across most of Europe though,
and 58.46% in the UK, though of course European returns are still very
early and volatile at this hour. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Controversial and correct opinion, SSBM would lose to Skyrim on natural strength --- Goddamn Ocarina of Time |
Contests sure were fun, huh --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
can't even take this FF6/FF7 result seriously --- xyzzy |
