Wow at this rate Undertale will only cut off like 5000 votes.

Man. Just get blown out. Don't give me hope :(

I see people talking about how FF7 has no shot vs. Melee.

Some don't seem to grasp how rallies are ao unpredictable, I think. Not only their size, but their backfire rate is very important.

Rallies also depend very much on how the pitch is made, and by whom. Not all e.g. Reddit posts are equal - some pitch better, and something from a respected regular or community leader will mean more than random nobody.

Melee barely beat CT. That match is very hard to predict.


I believe Hylian when he says that CT is more popular than FFVII among the competitive Melee crowd. It matches up with my experience of reading Smashboards over the years- there is a surprising amount of CT stuff. Remember, these are competitive Smash players, they are serious enough about gaming that CT generally is not going to be too obscure for them to have heard about.

Reddit rally posts seem to be all or nothing though - either it will get upvoted to the top of the subreddit and it will be full strength, or it won't catch fire and it doesn't, in which case it will barely produce anything. We saw the Melee rally fall apart against CT in the closing hours as the reddit post slided down the page, until Smashboards intervened with the last ditch Facebook/Twitter rally.

Perhaps CT will have a better backfire rate than FF7. I'm skeptical, but maybe.

Thing is that it isn't predictably true. It's a wild guess.

We will always struggle to predict rallies. Even with a rerun of the same entrants, results can vary from day to day.

2. That match's outcome disappointed me greatly. Feeling hope rising time after time with each slight Chrono cut only for Melee to undo it all in an instant was heartbreaking. If only it managed to be a bit closer I think it could have been one of the best matches so far.

Yeah people are worrying too fast.
Undertale is still not above the quota , and it doesn't seem to be increasing.
It could cut 30 votes every updates for the rest of the match and not win.

Super Metroid vs. Majora's Mask for the epic struggle.

CT vs. FFX for the hilarity of the reaction.

I think a big reason I tolerate the Undertale rally is because ME3, FO3, and SMW were not going to make a championship run, so it didn't alter results too badly. Chrono Trigger, on the other hand, had the makings of a champion, and Melee just took that away from it.

Worst result by far.

I can only imagine that Melee is going to get antivoted to oblivion from at least Board 8 for c***blocking Chrono Trigger.

Yes, you heard it here first. Something is actually going to get antivoted against FFVII.

Not sure how serious you are but people here like Melee, CT just was the better story. Melee isn't getting anti-voted.

Like I said this morning, Undertale needs to find another gear.

It will ramp it up I'm pretty sure.

Match wasn't over when Pokemon was looking good, and it isn't over yet with UT cutting now either. Very tough call right now.

Even if Undertale wins, Melee beating CT was my biggest rooting interest this contest. I've had my moment with FFT, and I know it's not that strong. I got to watch FF7 win a contest.

I've never really had that moment with Melee, especially since Brawl came out. Starcraft cheating in 2004 cheapened Melee's run, even though it won the match. Melee winning that match was "my moment" for Melee. I could not be more proud.

Indeed. This is correct. If this was equal cuts but due to UT increasing, that would be better for Pokemon.

Oh yeah, people were asking if a major rally had ever lost. Starcraft rallied hard against Melee, and lost. Melee was 3800 up and ended 500 up - even if you remove the 1300 stuffed votes, that's still a comeback of 2000 votes- about the same as it got against Wind Waker.

Don't forget people, the longer UT takes to hit it's quota, the harder it'll be. It needs to get moving now, it might get some 100 vote cuts, but it won't get them consistently till the end of the poll.

Yep, Board 8's going to punish Melee by voting for FF7. That's gonna be, what, 20 extra votes for FF7?

And probably a thousand for Melee from redditors to make fun of people upset over it winning, so it'll all even out anyway.

I mean, I'm not saying it's going to make some grand difference, but considering how close Chrono Trigger got even with the rally, every little bit counts.

Yes that's what kills the games. In Mario World the evening time was actually getting less votes overall but Undertale was maintaining the same intake while Mario World died because it was running out of GameFAQs visitors. That's why it's the worst from 4 PM onward since the GameFAQs votes have dried up by then

1. Best match was Ocarina of Time vs Hearthstone. 92% lolz
2. I'm a little sad about Chrono Trigger losing, but mainly because I had Pokemon GSC winning the division and also I don't like Melee.

Because it looked like it had a geniune shot at taking Ocarina, and a random rally just pulled it from not even making the quarterfinals. At least we all knew Undertale was coming.

Because CT was legitimately looking like it might be the #1 game on the site and could beat Ocarina of Time.

All this after the board left it for dead and had it losing to FFX.It was this contest's genuine underdog story. And for that it was rewarded by getting taken down in a rally to a game that was favored pre-contest.
