GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1244
UltimaterializerX posted... This rally was one-sided IN POKEMON'S FAVOR until noon, and was not one-sided when Undertale went nuts. Things like the no-repost rule on r/pokemon really crippled its long term staying power. Tumblr is basically the ideal infrastructure for this; it even gets to look like the underdog because Tumblr rallies are backloaded. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Fr0zoN posted...ExThaNemesis posted...I finally put Ulti on ignore. ExTha is lying about having me on ignore. He does this all the time when something doesn't go his way. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... ZFS posted...But really, to take a step back -- it is disappointing that these things are now determined by one-sided rallies. For the GameFAQs admins, this is naturally no issue, but if you're a contest fan it does feel pretty bad! Not upsetting, just kinda like oh that's how these come to an end sort of thing. Seriously Ulti, I'm not bothered by you or anyone celebrating Undertale, but can you please stop pretending Pokemon doesn't easily win if there were no rallies? >_> --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Karma Hunter posted... transience posted...I wish undertale was in the bottom half of the bracket. why couldn't you have totally wrecked the half that no one cared about? bottom half of bge20 is like the female bracket in 2006 sorry KH I hate how right you are. :( --- xyzzy |
ExThaNemesis posted... Well I'm hoping Leon or anyone else could make the next stats topic but I figure once this fills up I'll just unignore him for a bit and then put him right back on the list after I've made a post in the topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4ST20vgwKc --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Lopen posted... The issue isn't that Undertale is getting more votes this time You do this every f***ing time. Get a new note. --- Not_Wylvane |
Achromatic posted... Oh, so a game that sold 300,000 copies is infinite in its rally strength. I think most can agree that a huge portion, if not the majority, of rallied voters haven't played the game. They are voting because someone they follow told them to. They are random people on Tumblr and Twitter who are helping a friend with his request, so to speak. The Reddit people are the only targeted Undertale players. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Tbh, Draven kinda pissed me off but now I'm fine with rallies. I like the idea someone threw around in a topic a couple days or so ago about having a pre-2000 contest, that way there probably wouldn't be any rallies and the game that wins would probably be what would normally win in a contest anyways. We could just do something like that in a couple years, and then have ralliable contests otherwise. Rallies give a new dimension to this whole thing. Then again I wasn't a contest fan since before rallies so eh >_>. --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
r/pokemon
is a mere roadbump compared to this. Undertale would have ripped it
apart with or without that. you could put that thing on the front page
of reddit and it'd still struggle to take this. --- xyzzy |

I mean if you want to take that line of logic, Mass Effect 3 easily wins in round 1 with no rallies. But rallies have been around for 13+ years of contests. Lower vote totals and social media just made them go berserk. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
transience posted... r/pokemon is a mere roadbump compared to this. Undertale would have ripped it apart with or without that. you could put that thing on the front page of reddit and it'd still struggle to take this. Agreed. And that makes ZERO sense. Just where is all of this even coming from, seriously? --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |
The cuts slowed down a bit, maybe because of the lead change. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
lol if you think people actually play video games these days All the Undertale voters have experienced it via Let's Plays/Twitch and there's nothing wrong with that --- Big Black Cannon #UnitedAgainstBronyism #BringBackBatista |
ctesjbuvf posted... The cuts slowed down a bit, maybe because of the lead change. Unfortunately these are cuts no longer but instead gains --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
The 300k figure that people throw around with Undertale's sales is wrong on a ton of levels. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
creativename posted... Achromatic posted...Oh, so a game that sold 300,000 copies is infinite in its rally strength. This is exactly why the whole SBAllen justification of "rallying for the love of the game" is bulls*** by the way. --- SephirothG "The King, The All-Star Of This Contest"~yoblazer |
MarquetteKing posted... lol if you think people actually play video games these days oh god, most people voting in these contests are LinkMarioSamus. --- Not_Wylvane |
All I know is that I'm one step closer to a guru win. Only 4 more tricky matches to go. |
ItGetsWorse posted... This is exactly why the whole SBAllen justification of "rallying for the love of the game" is bulls*** by the way. Well unfortunately, a lot of people make the whole "lolol let's piss off GameFAQs" thing very easy. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
If
we get a site-wide banner and GameFAQs votes increase by 30-50%, Melee
and OOT might still have a chance. If OOT 60/40s Pokemon on GameFAQs,
that might actually still be in the range where it can even beat this
Undertale. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
I've
seen posts about this match all over the Internet today, in places I
didn't expect. Someone probably posted the poll in their stream or
something to cause the explosion. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
Hello I'm LnikMraioSMAUS how are you --- "Biting is excellent- it's like kissing only there's a winner." Still sephsblade |
Not_Wylvane posted...
I certainly do not! We had a rally just yesterday that was absolutely a rally. This is just not, though. Like I guess it makes you all feel better to think that a bunch of people are being drawn to the contests, rather than someone blatantly cheating, or you're really naive and just take Bacon at whatever he says. But this is pretty lol. If you think this is rally at this point it's kinda like "think for yourselves" a bit here I mean really. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I wish people posted their source for this "most Undertale voters just watch it" theory. Because it reeks of made up BS. |

Well, it's that beserk mode people doesn't seem to like when it's not even, which it really isn't today despite the Pokemon reddit rally. The rally was never one-sided in Pokemon's favor, otherwise that lead would've been way bigger. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Oddly enough I'm pretty sure this is the one match remaining I can technically "afford to lose" Lol at the idea of SM64 magically stopping this though --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 12/8/2015 5:20:36 PM)report |
Wow, I wonder what happened on that update. Vote totals dropped like a rock for both games. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Not
gonna lie, nine 400+ vote updates in a row followed by whatever that is
just looks weird. And both games went down, too, not just Undertale
being bored while ahead. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
no Undertale no we still need ME3 #2 in the x-stats keep going --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
Okay, seems like it was the updater picking up a bad update. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

Yeah the one thing this match was missing was the 9/11 truth movement. This f***ing contest. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |

Update had a bad moment, wasn't a full five minutes. |
I don't know why they keep doing contests on this site when this nonsense always happens. |
This match is so sketch. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
Undertale no --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
First update that even looks like an attempt by Pokemon to stall Undertale. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
dingdongding posted... I don't know why they keep doing contests on this site when this nonsense always happens. I don't know why people keep following these contests and then complain about rallies changing things up when they're pretty damn common these days! We're not going to have rally-free contests anymore, accept it or stop following these damn things. --- Not_Wylvane |
Pokemon IS picking up steam from somewhere. Getting 250ish updates. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
There's not enough popcorn for this topic. --- What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense. |

Undertale
destroyed the hopes and dreams of people hoping for a Pokemon, Melee,
and FFVII win, in about 4 hours, so great misery is understandable. But no, it is not enough to avenge yesterday. Ocarina of Time must fall. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
