Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1243
Okay, that cut was seriously insane. Pokemon didn't even drop. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Undertale used Slash! --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
"Rally is slowing guys!!!" |
Wow, 398 update for Undertale. Pokemon got one of its best updates for hours and still got cut by 183. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Pokemon's
vote intake went up by 51 over the previous update during the same time
that Undertale increased its vote intake by 101. So it seems like
there is somewhat of a backfire rate going on here. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Pokemon
just scored 215 votes, and still almost gave up 200 off its lead. We
are witnessing contest history even if Undertale chokes. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
two straight 65% updates huh almost 400 votes for Undertale in one update --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Team Rocket Elite posted... School is why Pokemon even looks like it has a chance. SSBM faces Undertale on a weekend. It's going to get buried. SSBM is BY FAR it's strongest on a weekend. This is because tournaments are on Sat/Sun and you have a bunch of people in twitch chats(a bunch being thousands) you can rally to. These kinds of rallies aren't possible on weekdays when there are no big tournaments. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 (edited 12/8/2015 3:14:57 PM)report |

The so-called backfire rate, which is a made up theory in my opinion. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
With Draven it was more like The backfire rate on X/Ryu/Draven was by far the lowest, to a ridiculous degree. And Chie/Jak/Draven was by far the highest (and the one I'm most inclined to believe was actually fully a rally). --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Pokemon is putting up a great fight. |
UltimaterializerX posted... TAFKAHurricane posted...So random question but was it someone from board 8 that got Trent Baretta to tweet about the Character battle from 2013? Yeah Trent is one of my favorite wrestlers so I'm pretty jealous of that >_> --- http://i.imgur.com/BRzp1Fp.gif |
Lopen posted... The backfire rate on X/Ryu/Draven was by far the lowest, to a ridiculous degree. And Chie/Jak/Draven was by far the highest (and the one I'm most inclined to believe was actually fully a rally). Honestly this is the one match I still don't get. This was so ridiculously over the top compared to the others (the only one that compared was the one during the LoL championship when they put a mod thread and there was a 1000 update). |
Well,
at least that update wasn't quite as insane and Pokemon actually got 2
more votes on that update compared to the previous one. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
UltimaterializerX posted... 1337gamerpr0 posted...I wonder what Link vs Sephiroth in 2003 would've been like This is not true. Sephiroth's performances that contest were very comparable to Link's. Link may have been the favorite with people but not a "massive" one. If there was any SFF at all in Cloud vs. Sephiroth, Seph could be ahead of Link. Link may have been an Oracle favorite due to being overrated. He was indeed favored over Cloud in the Oracle - but that was contrary to the stats. I got the #1 Oracle pick for that match. I would've got the top pick for Cloud vs. Seph as well - stats said Cloud with 52%. But I couldn't pick Cloud out of pure favoritism :( Anyway I do believe Seph was entirely capable of edging Link out that year. Stats were extremely predictive that year. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Jesus Christ. Where is this coming from? I don't have a tumblr account. And Lady Heiress still hasn't posted. Imagine if she had?? --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
HaRRicH posted... While I believed in Pokemon RBY's ability to get backfire-votes from Undertale's rally, I always wondered how much. I did an experiment in 2005 on the much smaller GameFAQsASCII.com when they did Character Battles, and I just found some of the stats I kept for that: Also uhhh... you realize that that probably very well was stuffed if people felt like it. I mean as little credit as I give this site's anti-votestuffing tech I would be surprised if GameFAQsASCii had anything to speak of. Basically not really a counter argument-- in fact might lean towards 11% being suspicious since I kinda doubt the place you linked from had like 600 people head over to vote the match. --- No problem!

DaruniaTheGoron posted... Jesus Christ. I can't imagine she won't post something at some point, especially if Pokemon keeps fighting back and this is close near the end. Pokemon is absolutely not going to go down without a huge fight, with all the rally outlets it has. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Using
OoT's contest performance this year, can someone explain to me why OoT
is the favorite over Undertale? Not being sarcastic - just want to
understand the other side. |
Quota is now at 49. Based on the last two hours, Undertale will take the lead with 3 hours to spare. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
UltimaterializerX posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...Jesus Christ. Pokemon has no rally outlets besides the reddit post I made this morning. |

This is ridiculous. Pokemon has done absolutely everything. Where are these UT votes coming from? --- GameFaqs....a place where people are friendly and nice to each other? You must live in a fantasy world. |

muttal posted... This is ridiculous. Pokemon has done absolutely everything. Where are these UT votes coming from? We have done everything, but the only place that it took hold at all was reddit. |
whoa, I just realized that we're gonna fly past 100k. that's one cool part of this! --- xyzzy |
Oh
man, this is so unbelievable and shocking. So many intelligent people
were calling this match over with 11 hours to go. Wow another miracle!! --- Next year, you'll wish you had started today. |
Well,
that answers that question. Say hello to the best game ever, some
mediocre indie game that more people have watched idiot youtubers play
than actually played it themselves. God I hate kids nowadays. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
UltimaterializerX posted... And Lady Heiress still hasn't posted. Imagine if she had?? Remind me again who this person is. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Anyway. If we go off previous matches, Undertale should drop off significantly in about an hour to an hour and a half. Which should not be enough to actually take the lead unless it starts getting votes "as needed" So prove me wrong Undertale. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
UltimaterializerX posted...
Haha --- satoru iwata |
transience posted... whoa, I just realized that we're gonna fly past 100k. that's one cool part of this! If we can actually retain some of these people and we can consistently get over 50,000 the rest of the contest (feels like a low bar but I'll take it) then this rally will at least have accomplished something worthwhile! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
ctesjbuvf posted... UltimaterializerX posted...And Lady Heiress still hasn't posted. Imagine if she had?? Some person who can draw mass reblogs that supposedly posted one for Undertale earlier in the contest and got death threats or something |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Well, that answers that question. Say hello to the best game ever, some mediocre indie game that more people have watched idiot youtubers play than actually played it themselves. But it sold more than 400,000 copies, surely people didn't waste their money just to watch some youtuber play it. |
ctesjbuvf posted... UltimaterializerX posted...And Lady Heiress still hasn't posted. Imagine if she had?? Dark Souls fan on tumblr that's rallied for Undertale with a ton of success this contest. She's gotten what, 20k votes for it twice now? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
SMW's biggest lead will be cut past next update :( --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

none of the big pokemon places care about this contest serebii flat out refuses to help and even deletes topics about it. that big pokemon page on facebook has basically been silent the whole match, etc that's the problem trying to rally a bigger game over a small indie title. its much easier to get influential people involved when its about something small. |
If
it goes over 100k I believe the last time a 1v1 Games Contest match
would have had higher votals would be in 2004. Starcraft/Halo had 112k
votes, which was a good bit higher than FFVII/CT in the final and
FFVII/OoT. Of course, the FFVII/OoT bonus poll after the 2009 4-way
contest broke 155k votes. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information (edited 12/8/2015 3:25:42 PM)report |
__Aizen__ posted... none of the big pokemon places care about this contest It's beacuse RBY is not really a popular game, the series as a whole is. |
AndrewB34 posted... muttal posted...This is ridiculous. Pokemon has done absolutely everything. Where are these UT votes coming from? That's kind of the problem I think. Because it's for RBY, a lot of people will immediately reject it because it's Gen 1. The majority of the Pokemon fanbase detests Gen 1, to the point where they will refuse to vote for it even though it's still Pokemon. If this were an overall franchise vote, things may have gone differently. Also, most communities like Serebii, Smogon don't care about this sort of thing. --- GameFaqs....a place where people are friendly and nice to each other? You must live in a fantasy world. |
T4libKw4li posted... Using OoT's contest performance this year, can someone explain to me why OoT is the favorite over Undertale? Not being sarcastic - just want to understand the other side. You can't, not using OoT performance this year. However, it's long been true that OoT as a game is stronger on this site than Link as a character. And Zelda fans rallied Link an ungodly amount as recently as 2013. Reddit, Facebook, twitter, rallies were everywhere. Plus Zelda is quite similar to tumblr in its voting trends, it won't die off during the afternoon and evening. But for me, the biggest factor is the site banner. It's going to add a ton of votes from GameFAQs when it goes up for the final match. As impressive as today's rally is, imagine if Pokemon were 10k votes farther ahead when the rally kicked into gear this evening. That's a conservative guess of the numbers OoT is going to bring in. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
GameFAQsASCII
was likely real easy to stuff, sure...but considering there were only
78 votes cast before the link was up I would rather believe a Halo
fansite could bring 597 people than an outsider wanting to spam hundreds
of votes into the match. HBO's admin even made it clear it wouldn't
take much to turn the tide: March 5, 2005 Arbiter vs Mega Man Over at GameFAQsASCII.com, there's a Character Battle - Arbiter vs Mega Man. Only 75 people have voted at this point - wouldn't take much to sway this one. Thanks, Harrison. (I gotta say, I really don't understand the point of polls like this; I'm posting this one because we got a half-dozen emails about it, and I want them to stop. In fact, I think I'll take this opportunity to lay down new HBO policy - after this one, we won't be mentioning Character Battle-type polls any more here. So go vote in this one; it's the last one we'll cover.) (Louis Wu 11:36:34 UTC) Either way, Mega Man only got 65 votes from however many you think were legitimate. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |

This is madness. How does the rally just keep getting stronger over time? --- My butt was devastated by raytan. 3DS FC: 4725-7987-5535 |
