GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1244
LordoftheMorons posted... Pokemon IS picking up steam from somewhere. Getting 250ish updates. It's, like, 10:30 in Japan. It could be leftovers from Masuda's retweet. |
I can roll with a pre-2000s Console Only contest --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
But no, it is not enough to avenge yesterday. Ocarina of Time must fall. Castlevania > OoT, let's do this --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG > SMW, SM64 > Skyrim Points 171/208 |
The way for Pokemon to win is to stem the bleeding and counter in the last hour or two. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Lopen posted... I don't know what that means. Do you cook your Bacon with jet fuel? Isn't that how you cook things in the Americas --- "Biting is excellent- it's like kissing only there's a winner." Still sephsblade |
Karma Hunter posted... I can roll with a pre-2000s Console Only contest Why not ban non-Nintendo and non-Square games while you're at it? --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." - Asch, Tales of the Abyss |
Something would get rallied in such a contest still and people will still get pissed off about it. The question is what. Maybe Earthbound this time? Bubsy maybe? --- Not_Wylvane |
Karma Hunter posted... I can roll with a pre-2000s Console Only contest Plucky underdog DRAGON QUEST VI coming to wreck brackets ...hey I can dream can't I --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Keep rolling with those 60% updates, baby. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |

OrangeCrush980 posted... Karma Hunter posted...I can roll with a pre-2000s Console Only contest well I mean if you insist but I don't see a lot of rally potential there --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
I
dunno how long Pokemon can keep getting these 250ish updates, but it
won't help at all unless Undertale comes back down to Earth. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Not_Wylvane posted... Something would get rallied in such a contest still and people will still get pissed off about it. People will only get mad if it goes against brackets though. If Pokemon pulls off a rally out of no where, let's not even pretend all the people upset right now wouldn't turn around and be perfectly content with the so-called rallies that ruin contests. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Pokemon's only hope is for SBAllen to remove stuffed votes from Undertale. But we all know that if SBAllen makes a topic, it'll be about how everything is legit, or that Pokemon had more stuffed votes than Undertale, perhaps at a 2:1 ratio. --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." - Asch, Tales of the Abyss |
It's
too bad Draven vs Flowey or something won't get too much rally
attention. Seeing the two most powerful rallied forces of the past 2
years going at it would be amusing, even if the outcome is fairly
obvious when you pit something like Undertale against a juggernaut like
League of Legends. |
Just make the entire next contest LoL guys. Throw in Anti-mage or something for a change of pace. --- "Biting is excellent- it's like kissing only there's a winner." Still sephsblade |
So i messaged a pokemon tumblr page and they just posted about the contest: http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/ Don't know how big they are but maybe this can get some steam! --- My butt was devastated by raytan. 3DS FC: 4725-7987-5535 |
charmander6000 posted... Castlevania > OoT, let's do this This would be the best result of the contest by far. But where does one rally Symphony of the Night? Hot Topic? --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
TheOneAboveAll posted... 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. When is the banner going up? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
TheOneAboveAll posted... I dunno how long Pokemon can keep getting these 250ish updates, but it won't help at all unless Undertale comes back down to Earth. Undertale slowed down after 10 against Fallout and Mario. Pokemon is the type of game that could come back from down 2000 in the final two hours for sure. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
jacko_vdz posted... So i messaged a pokemon tumblr page and they just posted about the contest: I have the feeling the backfire rate on this will be pretty big as Tumblr is Undertale's stronghold. |
Kyubit posted... Just make the entire next contest LoL guys. Throw in Anti-mage or something for a change of pace. f*** Anti-Mage. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
MechanicalWall posted... charmander6000 posted...Castlevania > OoT, let's do this Twilight fanfic forums. --- Not_Wylvane |
UltimaterializerX posted... If Pokemon pulls off a rally out of no where, let's not even pretend all the people upset right now wouldn't turn around and be perfectly content with the so-called rallies that ruin contests. It works like this. People are fine with counterrallies, but not rallies in themselves. People will hate it if Pokemon wins and rallies itself onwards next few rounds. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
THEY HAVE A FB Page with 200k followers. Let's f***ing go! https://www.facebook.com/PokemonGlobalNews/ --- My butt was devastated by raytan. 3DS FC: 4725-7987-5535 |
Rallies
don't work for things we want them to work for. While Undertale gets
to pull in 400 votes per update, with a small fraction of those being
its natural strength on GameFAQs. --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." - Asch, Tales of the Abyss |
creativename posted... When is the banner going up? Probably during the semifinals, but I am currently working on talking Allen into using the site banner at the start of the quarterfinals instead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

If OOT 60/40s Pokemon on GameFAQs, that might actually still be in the range where it can even beat this Undertale. I dunno. I heard this round but that clearly didn't happen. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |

-LusterSoldier- posted... creativename posted...When is the banner going up? If we had that banner at the start of the quarterfinals last time, Link beats Draven. (*sigh*) --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Reminder: Board 8 once tried to rally the KKK to help Wario beat Shadow. --- Not_Wylvane |
UltimaterializerX posted... Not_Wylvane posted...Something would get rallied in such a contest still and people will still get pissed off about it. That wasn't true yesterday. SSBM was the Guru favourite. In fact a lot of us didn't even have CT reaching the match let alone winning! --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Not_Wylvane posted... Twilight fanfic forums. Even they must acknowledge that Alucard is way sexier than Edward is. Especially in --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Every stop pulled out for Pokemon even now. No other game deserves to drown in this more :) --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
UltimaterializerX posted... TheOneAboveAll posted...I dunno how long Pokemon can keep getting these 250ish updates, but it won't help at all unless Undertale comes back down to Earth. I completely agree, Ulti. My issue is that Pokemon's gonna be down by a lot more than 2000 by the time 10 oclock rolls around at this rate. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
It's pretty impressive that Pokemon is substaining those 250 updates. Sadly, it's still falling more than 100 votes behind anyways. |
I
haven't really been paying attention since this morning. Did Undertale
have some crazy ace(s) in the hole that we haven't seen until now? Or is it just the same ol' Tumblr voters from past rounds? --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... I wish people posted their source for this "most Undertale voters just watch it" theory. It's logic. I don't know about watching it, that part is probably made up. Maybe they watched it I guess but probably not even that Again, most of these people are just helping an online friend. Or they like the underdog story they are sold. There's not much reason to think random Tumblr or Twitter folk are familiar with the game. It might be the most popular game on Tumblr, but most users haven't played it. It's not like the game is Madden or Halo or SMB. I don't think the "GameFAQs salty tears!!!" thing is important, but who knows. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
TheOneAboveAll posted... If we had that banner at the start of the quarterfinals last time, Link beats Draven. (*sigh*) Even then, it would have only been the blue site banner, which appeared to have no real effect on boosting vote totals for the 2 non-Draven matches that happened in the semifinals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
And CT was the type of game that could come back from its deficit late on but it never happened. (edited 12/8/2015 5:38:15 PM)report |
jacko_vdz posted... THEY HAVE A FB Page with 200k followers. You think this will make any real difference? --- 3DS FC: 4382 - 2449 - 5707 IGN: Anthony |
Dabrikishaw15 posted... jacko_vdz posted...THEY HAVE A FB Page with 200k followers. I think so. It should boost Undertale's lead up even more! --- Not_Wylvane |
ShatteredElysium posted... And CT was the type of game that could come back from its deficit late on but it never happened. No, it wasn't. When it comes to rallies, CT stands no chance. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |

So
this is something to keep an eye on. It currently has 42 likes. But the
page has 200K likes so it could draw some serious attention. https://www.facebook.com/PokemonGlobalNews/?fref=ts --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
It's beyond me how Pokemon is not doing better right now with all the support. That Facebook page has 200k likers too. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
ctesjbuvf posted... It's beyond me how Pokemon is not doing better right now with all the support. That Facebook page has 200k likers too. Turns out the "rally backfire" effect people talked about really did exist, they just had it the wrong way. --- Not_Wylvane |
Not_Wylvane posted... ctesjbuvf posted...It's beyond me how Pokemon is not doing better right now with all the support. That Facebook page has 200k likers too. Which is beyond me. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
The other match is about to hit 100k votes too. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
I
think Pokemon's backfire rate is mostly due to a segment of their
fandom actively hating gen 1. Honestly rallies for RBY would work better
on random people who gamed a little and have fond nostalgia for
Pokemon, but who aren't still into the series. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
