Nanis23 posted... You know, there are many reasons why people enjoy Pokemon games most people who play pokemon are gamers with forms of OCD. They are the same people who play fallout and need to pick up every single item as loot, and then complain about weight caps and being over encumbered |

Advokaiser posted... Regaro posted...what I'm saying is that I've gotten more enjoyment out of explore Gen 1s glitches and figuring out how they tick than literally any other video game I've ever played. That alone is enough for me to value it over almost every other game in existence. I'll keep it in mind, but my spare time to do this sort of thing isn't what it used to be. I have given OoT several hours in this regard, but it doesn't have as much charm from a technical perspective, even though speed runs are hilarious. |

Uhh
link was pulling one of the most insane rallies ever and probably would
have rallied to beat Draven if the site didn't go down. But ok you keep
thinking that. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
While
I don't have anything against Undertale (I will try it at some point),
but its fan base really j***es, bleeds and breathes 'undertale goat
material must play best game ever' (edited 12/9/2015 8:37:43 AM)report |
Metal_DK posted... Any notion that pokemon gen 1 has a specific fanbase and the rest of pokemon has another fanbase is a defense mechanism to why the game lost. No, maybe you didn't check the tweets, but that's literally what was replied. Masuda should have been a much stronger rally source than anything else based on followers and it did almost nothing for Pokemon. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Metal_DK posted... people thinking Mario 64 has a shot are delusional What? NOBODY ever said that Nobody ever thinks that Undertale vs Super Mario 64 is going to be the most useless match in this contest, we should just skip it honestly --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
ctesjbuvf posted... Metal_DK posted...Any notion that pokemon gen 1 has a specific fanbase and the rest of pokemon has another fanbase is a defense mechanism to why the game lost. Masuda is not a stronger rally source than f***ing tumblr or reddit. Sorry. Maybe Obama's twitter or Lebron's or Messi's or some s*** (edited 12/9/2015 8:40:10 AM)report |
xp1337 posted... The way I read it was people were mostly having fun with it. Again, what are we supposed to do? It was spillover from Undertale. It doesn't matter what the next match was, it was going to be affected. Just be consistent and realize your biases? If you truly think rallies are the devil you shouldn't be so enthused about it. You should at least say "it's awesome mm is doing so well but kinda sucks that rallies are causing it at the same time". Or something. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Tomorrow is pretty much the only day that isn't boring left in the contest! SMRPG v RE4 MGS v MGS3 REDEMPTION for Divisions 7 and 8. i'm so sorry i talked down about them they are the last lights left in the darkness --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
The
vast majority of brackets are going to be decided tomorrow. And maybe
Friday but I think Tumblr will help ff7 counter melee rallies. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... xp1337 posted...The way I read it was people were mostly having fun with it. Again, what are we supposed to do? It was spillover from Undertale. It doesn't matter what the next match was, it was going to be affected. I thought it was mostly agreed upon that we didn't want to hear all the doom and gloom stuff. That's why I have held it back for the most part. I've intentionally been trying to act as upbeat as possible to avoid accusations of whining and just being a downer. If you really want to me air my true feelings about rallies and the future of contests oh boy the rest of the contest is going to be exciting! I honestly could talk about it forever because I am that passionate and that depressed about it! Although honestly? I feel like I've hit "acceptance" on the stages of grief of rallies. What's actually aggravating me these days is how I feel like any anti-rally sentiment is being treated when I feel it has been pretty damn tame this time. I could go on about both if you like! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
After
the chrono trigger match no I did not get that impression. Everyone was
pissed and depressed lol. Not saying you specifically btw. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
The
more I look at the beating LTTP is doing now, the more I think
something fishy was going on in the last Undertale match and it affected
the start of this match as well Yeah I read about the theory that tumblr are younger than us and it means they would prefer MM, but let's get serious, it's too drastic to make any sense --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Metal_DK posted... Masuda is not a stronger rally source than f***ing tumblr or reddit. Sorry. Maybe Obama's twitter or Lebron's or Messi's or some s*** It's not like it's all of tumblr and reddit, reddit helped Pokemon more than Undertale yesterday. Twitter was a very strong source of Undertale too. Of course we saw the rally wasn't as effective as what Undertale had, but don't act like it couldn't have been if the Pokemon community cared as much as Undertale's did and weren't split. --- My old signature was really outdated.

Nanis23 posted... The more I look at the beating LTTP is doing now, the more I think something fishy was going on in the last Undertale match and it affected the start of this match as well If so they were rallying in the SM64/Skyrim match too (for both of them!) cause the votals there are through the roof too. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
Nanis23 posted... The more I look at the beating LTTP is doing now, the more I think something fishy was going on in the last Undertale match and it affected the start of this match as well But this makes no sense even if you assume cheating. Undertale was the other poll so even if the bot was forgotten and continued to run for a while it would have been helping Castlevania (now that would have been funny). |
before
people mention Melee..... it isn't being rallied, its just recovered
its fanbase because its the most competitive game in the series That is some next level spinning you got right there... --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ: OoT > BK, LoZ: LttP > LoZ: MM Points 179/224 |
Friday is going to be beserk. Biggest day in contests since Draven for sure. Enjoy the calm while it lasts. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
charmander6000 posted... before people mention Melee..... it isn't being rallied, its just recovered its fanbase because its the most competitive game in the series The truth? Look at things like twitch. Hell go to college campuses nerd sections and people are playing melee with their tvs set up and what not. People who played that game in 2001 are older and it recovered its fanbase a bit. Hell i thought melee was a lock to win its division in this contest for that very reason. Look at the retro gaming community/retro collecting community. Smash melee is expensive as f***. http://videogames.pricecharting.com/game/gamecube/super-smash-bros-melee the game was a $10 game in 2010. Its $50-$60 now.... |
Yeah,
this topic, myself included, was pretty down about CT! But maybe I've
twisted it in my mind but I feel like that's still nothing on the level
of what was going on during Draven. That was an entirely different level of doom and gloom. I'm just exhausted and fed up with the constant calling into question of the honesty and integrity of people who say they oppose rallies. Because it's almost always directed to them as a group. If you think there's some hypocrisy going on surely you can point out who you're talking about and let them respond! Otherwise I just feel like I'm part of this plural "you" that is constantly brought up! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
LordoftheMorons posted... Really wasn't expecting all of that "No gen 1 sucks" attitude. I'm fine with them saying they like Undertale better or something, but I think it's pretty ridiculous to be a Pokemon fan and actually think the originals are bad games (especially for the pretty trivial reasons listed in the graphic people keep posting). It's all about the "genwunners." I think the originals would be regarded with some fond nostalgia by the fanbase if the people who felt like the series lost its way after the first weren't such a******s. Particularly when it's pretty obvious that the series really only went uphill, at least up until RSE (not that those are bad games but I can see legit reasons why someone wouldn't like the way the series went). You can like RBY over GSC for nostalgia reasons, but the only reason for claiming it fell of the face of the cliff at that point is "Pokemon was cool when I was a kid and RBY came out, and it wasn;t by the time GSC came out, so allow me to mock you for liking something for babies." Plus, like, imagine if you were a younger super fan of the series, started with say Diamond and Platinum and decided to check out where the series came from, hyped about all the positive stuff people say about it... and then you get the (lovably) buggy mess of RBY, or even just the dated graphics and sound of GSC. I can't really blame that person for concluding that the grognards are bats*** insane. (edited 12/9/2015 9:25:08 AM)report |
Metal_DK posted... charmander6000 posted...before people mention Melee..... it isn't being rallied, its just recovered its fanbase because its the most competitive game in the series Dude, it is rallying when you get a large fanbase that doesn't usually participate in the contest. --- My old signature was really outdated.

LTTP by the hour: 1:00 | 46.87% 2:00 | 50.49% 3:00 | 51.25% 4:00 | 51.34% 5:00 | 52.32% 6:00 | 52.60% 7:00 | 54.34% 8:00 | 55.25% 9:00 | 56.53% 10:00 | 56.22% 11:00 | 55.15% 12:00 | 53.87% OOT/FFIX from 9-12: 6128 LTTP/MM from 9-12: 8417 Estimated Spillover rate: 27.19% The spillover is back! With the daytime, the spillover is back, and what do you know, LTTP's percentage has been falling again. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. (edited 12/9/2015 9:42:30 AM)report |
Can you do maybe 3 hour sections for OOT? I would do it but I gotta get back to work. Looks like OOT is up around 69% or so with day vote. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Somewhat relevant (well not really but it's LttP): http://www.cracked.com/blog/if-link-from-zelda-went-bender-journey-in-screencaps/ |
The
truth? Look at things like twitch. Hell go to college campuses nerd
sections and people are playing melee with their tvs set up and what
not. People who played that game in 2001 are older and it recovered its
fanbase a bit. Hell i thought melee was a lock to win its division in
this contest for that very reason. Getting people from another site to vote for a game is rallying, many people voting for Undertale also like it too. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ: OoT > BK, LoZ: LttP > LoZ: MM Points 179/224 |
Nanis23 posted... Black Turtle do you even enjoy games anymore MGSV, Super Mario Maker, Axiom Verge and Rocket League are all games that came out this year that are somewhere in my top 100. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
I'm
a bit more nervous. The lead is not as high as I would have liked. We
only have another 1.5 hours until the ASV to increase it. Then, the
spillover percentage may move into the mid-30s, with high votals, and MM
may be able to cut. The power of that Undertale rally yesterday is just so extreme. Come on, LTTP. Hold the line! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
The
Undertale spillover is just going to get bigger with time. More and
more UT fans are checking out what's going on here, some too late to see
yesterday's match and instead voting in this one. The next match is
only 2 days away, after all. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |

Majora rallying is the worst. It cost us the best possible result we could have ever gotten. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Majora rallying is the worst. It cost us the best possible result we could have ever gotten. I didn't realize you were such a Brawl fan! --- http://i.imgur.com/RHvCiY3.png |
Man
you guys putting stock in a full comeback are crazy. MM will probably
cut, but I don't see any reason to believe it'll be enough. |
LeonhartFour posted... Majora rallying is the worst. It cost us the best possible result we could have ever gotten. Whatever the stats say, I'm not convinced FFX would have beaten Brawl. Even a small Smash rally would have won it, and even for Brawl, they wouldn't need a reason beyond, "let's stop Final Fantasy from winning" to do it. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Also yeah, it's kind of annoying that people apparently won't let you enjoy a contest result anymore if you're anti-rally. And people were upset about CT losing because it killed the best story of the contest and because Melee fans were being incredibly self-important the entire time. "Melee deserves this" and all that. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
we just saw a Pokemon rally backfire because of "Gen 1 sucks" we could definitely have seen a Brawl rally backfire because of "Brawl sucks" --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Plus,
Majora likely boosted a bit between rounds. In the semifinals it had
normal Zelda/FF trends, in the final it looked had light joke/bandwagon
trends. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Melee
fans were pretty good about it, honestly. Melee is sort of in the same
boat as CT, its been an on again off again contender for #3 game on the
site for 10 years, with even longer odds of ever being champion
(because its hard to imagine how it could ever beat OOT). Before the
contest, this was supposed to be close. They were just celebrating
their victory, with a lot of positive comments about CT. I'm still despondent about the results, but can't blame the fans. If Final Fantasy fans acted that way, FFX would have won that GOTD contest, Majora rally or no. CT fans have tried, hard, and are pretty good at making up 3-400 votes in the last hour. But there just isn't the community online to rally from to get too much more than that. Monday, CT probably brought in well over 1000 rallied votes. Even that much would have won it for FFX. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Oh
hey, I think Undertale's average gamefaqs rating suddenly dropped
again. IIRC it was at like 4.51 before that match and is down to 4.45. I
remember KP was tracking the numbers on that game and a few others and
that it dropped immediately after beating Super Mario World too. Can't wait to see how low it goes after it wins the final! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

It's
a joke based on how Allen used user ratings to determine seeding in the
bracket (which is how LoL got shafted). There's nothing for you to
pretend to get offended by here. Go away. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 12/9/2015 11:18:48 AM)report |

BlAcK TuRtLe posted... pirate109 posted...UltimaterializerX posted...I like Gold and Silver the best. It's the sweet spot for the series, before we had 700+ Pokemon to catch and had to treat it like a job instead of a video game. nonononono, even from BT, this can't be serious.... If by rehash you mean improved in every way? Did you even play the original R/B/G? (edited 12/9/2015 11:28:00 AM)report |
