GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1241
ZeldaTPLink posted... Well of course not directly, I doubt the guy who made Undertale even cared about that. you mean Undertale being less popular than Mass Effect 3 before tumblr showed up? |
I still expect Pokemon to take it all after this but we'll see. At the very least it gets to OOT imo. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... But it's still great to see an indie game with 1/100 of the budget of an AAA game being more popular on gameFAQs than all the modern industry games. Under this logic, Draven must have been more popular on GameFAQs than Link or Snake. |
Massive fear turned into overconfidence What is up with all those "Pokemon got this" comments? Do I need to remind you that ME3 was ahead by 9200 votes, 4 hours from now and it wasn't enough? Yeah I know Pokemon is not Mass Effect and it should hold better against Undertale rally, but we are only HALFWAY during the match This is nowhere near over, not unless Pokemon holds the same lead 6 hours from now --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Evillordexdeath posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...Well of course not directly, I doubt the guy who made Undertale even cared about that. Does it even matter? GameFAQs is an isolated place who barely represents anything anymore. I couldn't give a flying f*** about what this site thinks. What matters is the symbolic victory. It's beautiful to see games that are have such big budgets and popularity get destroyed by something that was made by one guy with a kickstarter. (edited 12/8/2015 9:25:48 AM)report |
Just saying folks, but this is far from over so calm your t***. --- Surskit Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear! |
why in the world was pokemon seeded 8th? Seems rather odd --- Currently Playing-Rocket League, Demon's Souls SSBM Peach Main (Working on a Fox :D) |

hmmm gamefaqs went down for 30 or seconds for me. anyone else? --- ... |
It
is over because as everyone knows most Undertale votes come from
Tumblr. But Tumblr loves Pokemon too. So even if Pokemon gets 33% of the
rally votes it still wins. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! |

Yeah I think I phrased that wrong. Sorry. Anyway, point is, the result itself matters more than what the regular gameFAQs users think. (edited 12/8/2015 9:27:12 AM)report |
Not really. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
Oh wait you edited your post because you realized how stupid it was You added "I couldn't give a flying f*** about what this site thinks." to try and hide the contradtion, good job --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Nanis23 posted... Massive fear turned into overconfidence Well there are like 30,000 more votes in this match than there were if ME3/Undertale at the same time. Which favours Pokemon because it shows that a lot of the rally has already happened. Although I think Undertale might still be able to win. Hopefully not. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
Damn, imagineyouricon posted the rally link again! Let's see if it works out better for them this time. For someone running a Pokemon challenge they seem pretty committed to helping Pokemon lose this one, lol. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
Nanis23 posted... Oh wait you edited your post because you realized how stupid it was I already said I phrased that wrong. It wasn't an intentional contradiction. I just didn't specify well what I meant by "popular on gameFAQs". It was actually "popular in the contest". If you think I'm lying, there's nothing I can do about it, you can be smug all that you want. (edited 12/8/2015 9:30:02 AM)report |
why in the world was pokemon seeded 8th? Seeds were based off of nominations, user reviews and metacritic scores. The game has no metacritic score, it had to deal with competition within its series and it is a type of game forgotten by people when you only have 10 nominations. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG > SMW, SM64 > Skyrim Points 171/208 |
ZeldaTPLink posted... It's beautiful to see games that are have such big budgets and popularity get destroyed by something that was made by one guy with a kickstarter. What are you even talking about? Destroyed in what way? --- Next year, you'll wish you had started today. (edited 12/8/2015 9:30:24 AM)report |
Can Undertale at least start making this interesting. This day is turning out to be pretty dull so far This also makes that CT loss harder, it may very well have run the gauntlet (Doubtful but a possibility) |
AppreciateTrees posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...It's beautiful to see games that are have such big budgets and popularity get destroyed by something that was made by one guy with a kickstarter. Where were you when Undertale was tearing Mass Effect and Fallout apart? |
ZeldaTPLink posted... What matters is the symbolic victory. It's beautiful to see games that are have such big budgets and popularity get destroyed by something that was made by one guy with a kickstarter. yeah, we'll show those AAA games by rallying for Undertale in a GameFAQs contest! wait what (edited 12/8/2015 9:31:38 AM)report |
At
least Undertale's wins got a lot of people to give it a try. It did
enough to gracefully bow down this round. That already counts for
something and is better than ME3 getting through the first round just to
get annihilated by FO3 which would then proceed to lose against smw.
Losing SMW in the process was unfortunate but what can you do. |
LOLContests posted... Damn, imagineyouricon posted the rally link again! Let's see if it works out better for them this time. Uh what do you mean again That post already has 5300 notes You can..repost it? --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I'm
a little sad that Undertale's run probably ends today. I personally
have no fond memories of RBY, but this David vs. Goliath narrative that
Undertale fans try to portray is annoying. |
1337gamerpr0 posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...What matters is the symbolic victory. It's beautiful to see games that are have such big budgets and popularity get destroyed by something that was made by one guy with a kickstarter. Whatever, it's pretty damn cool. That's the point. It's about as cool as watching L-Block destroy the Noble Nine, imo. Except I actually like Undertale even more than Tetris. |
Yeah seems like the notes are increasing..very fast Next update Undertale cut? maybe? --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I'm
skeptical that Pokemon can make it passed Mario 64. It was barely
beating Mario Bros 3 before rallies from Undertale. If Mario 64 is
stronger, Pokemon will probably need rallies, and there's not guarantee
it gets them. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
60k votes in this match already |
tbh I think you should vote for undertale even if you prefer pokemon because it’ll be much more interesting if undertale wins Why are they so desperate --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
60k votes in this match already Hopefully we'll break 100k --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG > SMW, SM64 > Skyrim Points 171/208 |
Scarlettail posted... I'm skeptical that Pokemon can make it passed Mario 64. It was barely beating Mario Bros 3 before rallies from Undertale. If Mario 64 is stronger, Pokemon will probably need rallies, and there's not guarantee it gets them. I remember Pokemon was already at a somewhat comfortable lead even before the rally hit, but that's irrelevant now. The Pokemon from this and other future rounds has momentum. I sincerely doubt it stops here. |

If Mario 64 is stronger, Pokemon will probably need rallies, and there's not guarantee it gets them. A Reddit thread and some begging to Twitter/Facebook page administrators will happen, at least. --- My name is Monica Lewinsky, and I am here to collect the rent. |
Lynx_7 posted... I remember Pokemon was already at a somewhat comfortable lead even before the rally hit It was at like 52% and SMB3 was stalling, IIRC. It was also a pretty small sample size because the first wave of rallies came pretty early. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Right around here is when Undertale boosted last round. Lady Heiress still hasn't posted yet. She got 25000 notes on the Fallout match and 22000 on the SMW match. This isn't over. But it will be Undertale's biggest rally ever. Does anyone know what time she posted last time? Because if she posted early last time... uhhh --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

ZeldaTPLink posted... AppreciateTrees posted...ZeldaTPLink posted...It's beautiful to see games that are have such big budgets and popularity get destroyed by something that was made by one guy with a kickstarter. So you think Undertale winning a GameFAQs poll is beautiful, symbolic, and an example of an indie game destroying a big budget game? And yet you think GameFAQs is an " isolated place who barely represents anything anymore." Hmm. --- Next year, you'll wish you had started today. |
Scarlettail posted... I'm skeptical that Pokemon can make it passed Mario 64. It was barely beating Mario Bros 3 before rallies from Undertale. If Mario 64 is stronger, Pokemon will probably need rallies, and there's not guarantee it gets them. Wasn't SM64 thought to be the strongest of the three Mario games? If so there's enough room to have it be 64>RBY>=SMB3>SMW Undertale messed it all up, but a real close loss by UT makes the gauntlet not completely crazy % wise somehow with slight rally adjustments. |
I
don't know if this match builds that much momentum for Pokemon. Many
will turn on it as soon as it advances. I'd love to see it go further
for something different, but I need to see it to believe, same with
Melee. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail (edited 12/8/2015 9:42:32 AM)report |
Pokemon
isn't losing to SM64. After the rallying for it today (and Melee
yesterday), even if SM64 is slightly stronger, it will be buried by a
Pokemon rally. |
For your information Undertale needs to cut 55.4 votes an update to tie. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG > SMW, SM64 > Skyrim Points 171/208 |
I
would never believe Mario 64 > Mario World. Was that the consensus?
I could see it beating Mario 3 (unfortunately) but not World. --- Watch me play games! http://www.twitch.tv/lordofdabu |
charmander6000 posted... Do we have a match now? Undertale pulling those 200~ updates for a while now It's just Pokemon dropped below it --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I don't think there is a consensus on strongest Mario. I'd pick SMW, personally. Not sure if there was a pre-contest consensus though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
The pre-contest consensus on the board was SM64 > SMW > SMB3, but I think everyone thought it would be close. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG > SMW, SM64 > Skyrim Points 171/208 |
Hieress hasn't posted yet? Also did I miss anything this morning? I was busy so a small summary for PCA purposes would rock! Thanks. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
A 222 update for Undertale..yet only one vote cut Jesus christ --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I
just checked the images Lady Heiress posted and both were from around 2
AM. I'm not sure if she didn't post them till morning or something
though. But if she posted at 2 AM before and has been holding back and
Undertale is still pulling these votals without her.... --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I've never bought Mario 64 being the strongest Mario. I think it's probably World. I think before the contest it was mostly 64 people thought, some people thought World, next to no one thought Mario 3, I will admit Mario 3 is probably the weak link --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
charmander6000 posted... The pre-contest consensus on the board was SM64 > SMW > SMB3, but I think everyone thought it would be close. Yeah, if SM64 is the strongest, I can't see Pokemon winning without an organized rally. Without Undertale there, there isn't as much of an incentive to rally for it. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
