It's cool to see Bulbagarden tweet.

It's sad to see it basically not mattering.

Twitter really seems a weak place to rally.

I'm confused by the undertale_bot thing. Allen said it got a lot of votes, but it's Twitter metrics are very weak. Yet today's rally turned just about when it posted.

There's no discernable reason for that account to matter, but Allen said it does, and the timing today was when UT hulked up.


Especially weird when we saw accounts yesterday which you would think would bring in a lot of votes from twitter but they just got a brief, albeit huge, spike before seemingly returning to normal
Also during today, the Undertale subreddit has had little involvement in rallying because people were flooding the subreddit with the poll last night when it first started and they got annoyed.

The fact that Undertale is doing this without its fairly active subreddit is something else.

now it's all down to Melee, and I bet you Melee obsessives can't do any better than this

heck even if you rally on reddit

and post it on smashboards

and have smashboards tweet it

and get all your top players to tweet it

and rally every single nook and cranny you can, even if official stuff rallies, it won't stand a chance

Go on, just try to do all that, I dare you


This is what a Melee in the finals bracket looks like I'm onto you

OoT will also be easier to rally because it's the finals, which might make more people care. Of course, the same is unfortunately true for the Undertale ralliers.

I looked into the undertale_bot tweet and out of all of the people that re-tweeted it, the vast majority of the people that re-tweeted it have less than 100 followers, with no one having more than 1000 followers. So based on the re-tweets and the number of followers for the undertale_bot account, this tweet should be having a much lower reach than what we're actually seeing.

Zelda is also known as that series that always wins on Gamefaqs, so it can make it easier to rally against to piss off Gamefaqs.


Zelda is also really, really loved, too. The supreme force of Reddit had their hands full getting Draven over Link! CT is definitely in no way the bar to beat for this kind of thing.

Melee raised $100,000 for charity to get into EVO. If it pulled that hard for gamefaqs(which it never, never would lol) undertale wouldn't stand a chance. Problem is there is no way melee gets to use all it's resources because a lot of people just don't care, where as almost every melee player cared about it getting into evo.

Hmmmmmm......

Do you think maybe the undertale_bot's Twitter has very little to do with anything and Allen was just having a little fun at our expense?

That was almost an hour ago though.

I will once again point out that no one is complaining about Pokemon's rallying, and is actively promoting it. But the tone of Undertale's rally is largely "the contest is ruined", which I will always maintain is ridiculous. You don't get it both ways.

Heck I'll rally alongside Melee right alongside all you scrubs, it still won't matter, no way it'll beat Undertale, no shot

That's a bit deceptive. They effectively DO have a rally up, it's just in the form of a "let's not be a******s about this if we lose" thread. It still serves to remind people that the match is today (though is probably slightly less effective due to lacking a direct link).

Even if you had all your EVO resources you wouldn't stand a chance. Heck, if even a fraction would be sufficient, why don't you try and see how badly you fail? I'll be excited to see it!

I'm guessing Melee didn't raise $100k in one day. Or 3 hours, which is the amount of time RBY will spend in this match behind.

I don't care who wins either way and I dislike rallying in general. But to not differentiate between a rally and counter-rally is silly, which I am sure has been pointed out every time you've mentioned this.
My hands are getting really sweaty now that the competitions getting down to the line. Anyone else having these problems?

Pretty sure that Undertale's going to win this round yet again unfortunately, but those vote totals are so impressive I'm hoping at least some people stay to vote for the rest of the competition.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if he's trolling or just completely oblivious. Rallying to counter a rally is a perfectly valid action if you disagree with the original rally bulls***. Noone here wants to see Undertale win (or Melee now for that matter)

oh look, Ulti's back to being obtuse on purpose
From what I could tell, Melee pretty much exhausted itself against CT. Reddit, Smashboards, Twitter, Facebook, everything was used. Stuff that was supposed to be extremely effective, like Smashboards posting on FB/Twitter, only produced about 1000 votes net. It's not hard to see why- many of the people reached at the end of the day had already been reached by earlier rallying and had already voted.

Undertale has literally counter-rallied in all 4 of its matches, so if you want to use the logic that only counter-rallies are "morally allowed"...

No point pleading self-defense with the rallies anymore, Nintendo does this the moment it's threatened now. If Undertale had lost to ME3 and CT had squeaked by Melee, RBY would have scared up a storm of rallying against CT even though it's the weaker game. It's not self-defense in these contests anymore - it's to win.

So stop b****ing and WIN, POKEMON! Or do you not have enough DETERMINATION???

No problem!

I mean, if you held the match during evo and had all the broadcasters make a big deal out of it, that could get a lot more people. But its not that easy to reach the whole fanbase on an ordinary day.
