Well of course not directly, I doubt the guy who made Undertale even cared about that.

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.


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.

Under this logic, Draven must have been more popular on GameFAQs than Link or Snake.

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

i mean does itreally count as being more popular on GameFAQs though?


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.

...
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.

Yeah I think I phrased that wrong. Sorry.

Anyway, point is, the result itself matters more than what the regular gameFAQs users think.

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.

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.

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.

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)

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I would never believe Mario 64 > Mario World. Was that the consensus? I could see it beating Mario 3 (unfortunately) but not World.

I don't think there is a consensus on strongest Mario. I'd pick SMW, personally.

The pre-contest consensus on the board was SM64 > SMW > SMB3, but I think everyone thought it would be close.

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

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.
