When has a good rally ever lost in a contest?

Undertale has yet to lose, this Melee rally seems like it'll succeed, Draven won, L Block won.

When do good rallies lose?

Welp

I knew it would still lose but I kind of wanted to see it come down to the wire instead of end like this

If Hylian is right and this tweet won't be happening twice in the same contest, LOL @ melee

I like how my Smash Wii U rally tweet was ignored but they'll go right up and rally for Melee.

This. I can't think of any rally with steam past the first 6 hours that lost, except for Mega Man/Charizard.

Well, SSBM and Undertale can't both win. Undertale should have that since it tends to sneak up from behind with a massive late game rally.

No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.
Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest!
Twitter creates a quick spike but nothing lasting unless it gets major RTs. It shouldn't cause lasting trouble. The FB could be more of the killer.

All this energy being used just to beat CT... is this really going to be a one-time thing? Because that's honestly disappointing.

It doesn't need anything really sustainable. At the current pace, CT had virtually no margin for error, so unless it can kick things into an even higher gear, it probably can't catch up now.

We probably wouldn't have many rallies we didn't know the results until after the battle was done.

I said it wouldn't be posted on the smashboards frontpage more than once, It could be tweeted again certainly. Will only be on FB once as well though probably.

Also all these posts are "if Hylian is right"...when have I lied to you guys yet? x.x lol. Only saying stuff that I know for certain.

This will most definitely not be a one-time thing. If Melee makes it to Undertale, can you imagine how apes*** the Smash community would get? They're pretty much the polar opposite of Undertale's target demographic, and a cursory look at the Reddit thread reveals plenty of people already dissatisfied that Undertale has made it this far.

This will probably be the most extensive rally Melee receives, but it will not be a slouch at all in the coming rounds.

CT spiked up a bit there, but Melee is still staying above 100 votes per update.

Could Melee/Undertale break 110k votes theoretically? Or is that shooting too low
CT cut! Not giving up yet!

I like how Melee reaching Undertale is a foregone conclusion.

"Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything."
CT had a half-hour margin of error. It just lost 25 minutes of that unless something drastic changes. But based on previous hours it could still be on pace to win at the last second.

Nah CT is either going to fall tragically short or Smash will throw something else at it.

It tried.

FF7 is not a given. Rallies are inherently unpredictable.

Just the pitch and approach of the rallier is quite important, for instance.

Even if CT is naturally stronger, FF7 should have a higher backfire rate. CT should have a very low one because most people elsewhere aren't very familiar with it. They should at least be somewhat familiar with FF7.

The backfire rate should still be low because people who bother to come vote have likely already made up their mind to vote for who you told them to. Truly drones. But not totally dronish, only mostly.
