Always.

Just once I'd like to see someone rally for something I really care about so I can at least get some sort of bittersweet satisfaction.


I feel you, I feel you. I don't even know that I'd like it, but man it would be nice. I mean, I guess Link did get rallies last time, but that doesn't count. Where is my underdog story huh

Hey man im all for no rallies. But when someone throws a stone at you you have to throw it back.

Yeah you'll sure show those Undertale ralliers by taking out a totally different game

What are you two talking about...? Sorry, didn't follow the topic.

CT winning in Europe but losing in North America. What the hell is happening here?


It's not really surprising. There are 4 things I can remember that are worse in Europe than CT. In increasing order of awfulness at the Euro vote: Smash, SMRPG, Duck Hunt, Oregon Trail.

I don't even care that much about Link!

I guess the closest I got was when David Hayter rallied for Snake against Draven but I wasn't even allowed to enjoy that for very long!

Don't you mostly like stuff like FF and VNs (from what I can tell from being here for a few weeks)

I don't think any of that's really rallyable. I guess you could rally Phoenix Wright with Court-Records (is that place still active at all?) + Tumblr fandom + Subreddit.

Worst new user of the contest getting the hard block.

I wouldn't dare ever try to rally any of them myself.

I like lots of things though. Just never the stuff that gets rallied.

But yeah I've seen FFVIII, ME3, and Mario 3 all get caught in the crossfires of the rallies, and those are all top ten games for me. Mario World is just outside my top ten.

We are now 3329 votes above the OOT match.

Assuming CT would be winning with 61.5% right now without the rally, with the same votals as the OOT match, CT would have a lead of 2331. It is actually losing by 151, for a swing of 2180. That gives CT an estimated backfire rate of 17.26%.

Mass Effect could probably get rallied on the BioWare Forums

I don't think ME3 is really rallyable though :\

It's not easy to figure out what the backfire rate was because SMW got some counterrallies, but it seems fairly clear that among the Tumblr people, Undertale did not beat SMW much worse than RBY beat SMB3. Now, a 75% to 82% gap (very generous for Undertale) would still get expanded to something like 65-35 by the nature of x-stats, but it's hard to see how RBY doesn't get a lot of backfire.


I calculated that the Undertale backfire rate against SMW was 82.31%. For RBY, it won the Tumblr vote with 74.29% against SMB3.

But anyways, when Undertale does get eliminated (or wins the contest), someone could try calculating Tumblr x-stats for all of the games that had a match on an Undertale day.

FFVII was pushing toward 55/45 and probably more at that point.

The rally almost certainly hasn't ruined FFVI's chances of winning or anything. It wasn't going to win regardless.

If the Undertale backfire rate was 82.31% the rally would've buried itself :P

I don't understand how this rally hasn't slowed down yet. Has it spread to somewhere besides reddit? Seems like that pool of voters should be starting to die out. Even dravens rallies slowed occasionally and the LoL reddit is so much bigger than the smash one.

The rally is starting to die down, yeah, but it's also coinciding with the site's vote totals gradually dropping off as it gets later into the night.

If MM/WW had SFF enough that FFVI=MM, FF7 would be pretty close to OoT. Of course it's never win, but this contest would've had a very interesting endgame if not for this rally crap.
