Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness.
I'm back, and hopefully more rational than last night, though still rooting for Undertale. This match is probably its biggest challenge- backfire rate is so critical!

That said, this one isn't over. UT didn't start the big cutting against Mario until approximately now, and it got much much worse in the afternoon.

Without Undertale there, there isn't as much of an incentive to rally for it.

i don't think anyone needs incentive anymore

it just happens now

But if you really want one, someone who needs RBY for their bracket or something.

I need Undertale to win this to have decent chances at winning the Guru, tbh.

Otherwise I'll have to root for SM64 to get to the finals and that's not looking very likely.
Assuming Pokemon votes stay constant, and Undertale votes raise to how much it got per update against Witcher 3, by how much Undertale ends up winning?

Undertale received zero votes against Witcher 3 so I imagine it'd lose quite badly!

Maybe! We'll see. I'm just speculating. I like SM64 more honestly, but Pokemon has the best chance to make the finals besides FFVII or OoT

Pokemon with 200 per update, Undertale with 0, can't imagine Undertale going anywhere!
Err Fallout 3 I mean
Or Super Mario World

A literal Pokemon giveaway tumblr posted the rally. Come on!

What is rallying Undertale if Lady Hieress or whatever didn't post about it? Link to the Tumblr blogs that are? On r/undertale the upvoted post about the rally is asking not to complain and give the community a bad image if they lose.

Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness.
These next five hours will determine Undertale's fate. While it still won the late hours against SMW, the rally was exhausted and not as strong.

RBY could end up winning if it has a sizable enough lead to just weather the night block granted the votals here are already outdoing the SMW match so who knows

This pattern is remarkably similar to the SMW match, with Pokemon doing a few hundred better each hour. Based on those, Pokemon probably has enough to hold on, but rallies are always unpredictable so it's not quite completely over.

It's so nostalgic seeing almost 60,000 votes at the halfway point. It'd be nice if we could maintain some of this the rest of the contest. If this results in higher vote totals in the end, I'll forgive all the rallying because it at least gave us a significant increase in voter base and had a pretty good retention rate. The only good kind of rallying is the kind that makes people stick around.

so SSBM/FFVII and Pokemon/Mario 64 on the same day next round huh

should be fun

That's precisely why I can't hate rallies.

Rallies are effective only because the site is dieing.

And they are one of the few things that could possibly stop the site from dieing.

Like, who cares if that changes the gameFAQs landscape and make Pokemon/Undertale/Smash/LoL a lot stronger. We should be celebrating any attempt of getting new people here.

(Unless they are a******s, ofc).
Pokemon over Undertale?

If she's in college, she's probably studying for her finals and can't be bothered to put up a rally post.

That would be a good reason if the rally seems weaker this time.

No we're not. 11 am is usually the 60% mark. Which means we are headed to, at normal pace, 87385 votes. Add a few thousand rallied votes and we might be able to get close to 100K, but it would take something extreme to reach 120.

Undertale matches have been super backloaded though. Though the SMW match was a lot less backloaded than the earlier matches, because they started rallying earlier, so you're probably right that 120k is too much.

Nothing so far but I'm checking every 15 minutes or so. Hopefully she forgot or likes Pokemon too much to go against it. She seemed to be skeptical about the Super Mario World match so maybe that's magnified by Pokemon being Pokemon on Tumblr.
