Undertale's the better game but let's not pretend Pokemon wouldn't deserve to win this contest. For all the PokeFEAR jokes, it's never won anything. It probably will win if it takes down Undertale, anyway.

It's not beating Ocarina.

It's hardly a given vs. FF7/Melee, if it does win here.

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


It's the same reason yesterday was so steady with Melee gaining around +100 an hour even as rally votes spiked up from 500 to 1500 and then back down to 600/hr. The rally votes yesterday followed the same time schedule as Gamefaqs votes, so CT fought the increase in the rally with more Gamefaqs votes, and then couldn't take advantage of the rally weakening because Gamefaqs intake was also weakening. By the time the Reddit rally finally fell off the top spots, natural vote intake for CT was already less than 100/update, even at 61/39 or more, and it couldn't do much.

Melee could certainly be potentially rallied to beat FFVII.

Against OoT it will get SFFed and the rallies will have a much higher backfire rate.

I've long maintained rallying to beat Ocarina of Time is a task. A real, tough, legitimate task.

People:

1._Best match of the contest so far?
2._How do you feel about Melee beating Chrono Trigger?


1-Super Metroid vs Majora's Mask. It was really close to
2-Worst result of the contest, that thing was awful. Undertale winning the whole thing would be better than what happened in that match.


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.


I had Melee winning the division finals vs FFX, in that sense Melee winning saved my bracket. But the way it won was disgusting.

It might be able to, sure. FFVII definitely, OoT would be tougher.

What about it?

Even if CT is more popular than OoT, OoT should be able to do better on Melee due to SFF.

Hey as someone who rooted for Melee, why was CT losing so bad? Just rooting interest, or what?


For me it's because CT was an underdog itself coming into this contest, which is kind of a weird thing to say about the #1 seed. It stunk it up in 2009 and its characters have been looking pretty terrible, so for CT to put on two dominating performances and then destroy FFX like it did, it would've been pretty damn amazing to see CT pull off the unthinkable and beat both FF7 and OoT to win it all.

That FFX match gave CT an insane amount of hype, and from what other people have said without rallies it would've beat down Melee pretty hard as well. CT winning the whole contest would've been a hell of a thing to watch, especially to see it take out three of the site's biggest behemoths in FF7, RBY, and OoT along the way. It would've had to earn it from pure strength.

Link has used his time in Smash to become a Pokemon Master.

Ash can try all he wants to be the best there ever was, Link went and did it.

It would probably result in either a mod deletion or taking too long for the new one to climb back up.
No reasons to risk it for now, this could actually be what decide the match, if it were to disappear completely right now.

Undertale matches after 14 hours:

game | percent | lead | votals
ME3 | 65.05% | 8369 | 27795

SMW | 49.94% | -74 | 60158
RBY | 55.48% | 7350 | 67100

Undertale needs to cut 61.25 votes per update to tie.

Based on the last hour, Pokemon wins by 5380 votes.
When Undertale loses does the rallying die off and Pokemon goes back to normal strength? I assume not because of Melee right?

I sent an ask to a popular Homestuck tumblr to spread the Undertale rally.

Unfortunately the guy hasn't posted quite often the past few months so this is quite a gamble.

But if he does post... there is a lot of overlap between the Homestuck and Undertale fandoms that could be harnessed.

I don't know any other popular Tumblrs though, I only go to the site to read the 3-4 Homestuck ones I care about.

Yeah I'd probably hate if FFT lost to RE2 because of some random rally.


not the same. imagine if FFT obliterated, say, Metal Gear Solid and was rocking Mario 64, but Mario 64 caught a rally and edged it out. that's essentially what happened.

So many exciting ways this contest could end and you want the most obvious one.

There is no normal anymore. No matters who win this match, we will probably see Melee > FFVII
And that's ignoring potential other lol rallies that might happen after this match.

Why?

Natural strength difference being large plus backfire rate. Not to mention Zelda fans WILL counter-rally.

Zelda is just too tough to beat. It has much more than natural GameFAQs strength.

Even Draven, the greatest rally force ever needed divine intervention, essentially.

Yeah, CT losing sucked because it was looking beastly and would have set up some great future matches: CT/FF7, CT/RBY, and potentially CT/OOT. The Melee rally robbed us of those amazing match ups. If Melee just rolls over and dies next round to FF7, it'll be a shame.

It will be the best timeline if the FF7/OoT match is yet another boring 53/47 after all the crazy **** that could have affected it one way or another.
CT could have faced FFX, Melee, FFVII, RBY, and OOT - such a perfect gauntlet of our strong games. I can accept that it would probably have lost to OOT, especially if OOT rallied.

This Melee thing could work if only it could stand up to OOT. If it rallied its way to a contest championship that wouldn't be so bad, especially if it got CT #2 in the stats. But there's no way, it's not capable of beating OOT even with the rally.
