A couple rounds back I'd done some stats, can't remember through what, that had CT putting 60% on FF7.

Based on the early Power Hour and Melee's frontloaded natural trends, FF7 could be assumed to get mid to high 50's today. CT was heading to mid 60's.

So CT 60/40ing FF7 seems like it was actually possible. Amazing.

I'm still confused as to what causes CT's rise.


Out of interest, what do you think CT would get against OoT in a match without rallying?


Rallying and dwellers?

48% now probably. clear #2 on the site.

FFVII Remake >>>> Original. Deal With it.
Why are people still getting their hopes up
It's UT's contest

Melee can rally, but UT will just rally more. It doesn't really matter what any opponent does.

Besides, I don't want to see OOT > Melee in the final. I would like Melee to win, it's a game I like a lot, but it won't beat OoT. And Undertale beating the site's biggest hero would be what the place deserves after yesterday's disaster.

Yeah, Melee shouldn't win unless it's going to win it all. OoT doesn't deserve a free pass after all of this.

Nah people antivoted ME3 that's why Undertale was able to win R1 in the first place

and what a shame considering it's gonna end up as #2 in the x-stats

As for Melee I am excited for it to get hit with the biggest chokeslam yet. This site hasn't forgotten that it took down its favorite game, after all.

CT would definitely not 60/40 FFVII. That match is 52/48 at most. FFVII is just getting destroyed by rally crossfire here.

"This is all we have... when we die.."
OoT totally deserves the win in the absence of CT. Link's hands are clean!

Or we could let MGS3 win. I'd be fine with that too given that my bracket's dying either way

I guess it's all part of Link's plan. Having Melee take down FFVII, the last remaining threat, then have Melee either beat UT and die to OoT or, if UT wins, OoT will have massive rallies.

FF7 got 65% on Smash Bros. Wii
CT got 65% on FFX
Ocarina got 65% on FFIX
Link to the Past got 65% on FFIV

Just on these results it seems pretty clear that CT > Ocarina > FF7 > Link to the Past (maybe FFIV could take on Smash Bros. Wii, but I doubt it). There aren't really any other results that seriously put these match results into doubt.

Nah, it wasn't Link who came up with that plan. We all know that Ocarina of Time vs. Symphony of the Night was actually a meeting between Link and Alucard.

As Alucard whispered his words of wisdom into Link's ear, Link knew what he must do.

It's a matter of perspective, really. There are no heroes anymore. Undertale was pre-Hidden Palace Knuckles until yesterday but the true villain, Robotnik - or in this case, the GameFAQs voterbase that voted SMRPG over Resident f***ing Evil f***ing 4 - has exposed himself now.

I guess a better example would be Loki in Thor 2. Undertale is Loki in Thor 2. There you go. The GameFAQs voters are Christopher Eccleston with the funny ears. And I am Thor.

Such a lust for revenge
Eh, I think LttP can give FF7 a fight and could easily win that one even without the inevitable rallies that would favor Zelda. SSB4 is only worth 55% on Mass Effect, after all, and I wouldn't put FFIV out of reach of Mass Effect by a longshot.

I estimated FFVII to get 57% on Melee based on the natural trends of both games. Melee was going to collapse hard overnight while FFVII has a killer night vote.

Assuming CT at 63% on Melee and FFVII at 57% on Melee, CT/FFVII ends up with a 56.98% win for CT.

With those numbers instead, CT/FFVII is only a 55.81% win. I guess 56/44 sounds about right to me in a CT/FFVII match.

Maybe it won't.

Maybe somehow Mario 64 (while it doesn't win) ends up looking better than basically all of Undertale's other opponents combined.

Man I don't get it, it doesn't make any sense and I don't understand why nobody else notice how strange it is
Why the hell is it so close with 95k votes? it's more than double the average GameFAQs match, if most of the votes are tumblr rally then why isn't Undertale burying Mario 64 just like it did Pokemon?
There is no way this is Smash rally power, too, the topic is already very low and yet Mario is cutting here and there

Those votes are coming from somewhere that isn't so much Undertale-centric, and if it's indeed coming from tumblr, why it's not in favor of Undertale even more?
What is the difference between the rally we see all day, and what happens with Undertale once it gets into it's true form? how is this possible?

The entire thing is weird and random.
It's like "gain 50, cut 10 , gain 50, cut 10" . There is no pattern except weird cut, small gains and medium gains.
The total vote intake has died down a ton.

Disappointed that the votals slowed down, though that's the biggest indicator of this match being over. Mario is very hard to rally against, but very hard to rally for too apparently.

I disagree, minus Undertale and spillover we've gotten a lot of eerily accurate results.

I think I'd favor it to edge out OoT with zero rallying, I think its result vs. FFX and what it was likely going to get on Melee were more impressive than OoT vs. FFIX and SOTN.

But I wouldn't be sure of it.

I made a prediction last night that vote totals were probably taking a step back compared to Pokemon/Undertale. I guess we're probably on track for about 110000 votes here.

3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066
110,000 is less than 13,000 to go, that's about 2,600 per hour.

097,000+ Now
099,600 20:00
102,200 21:00
104,800 22:00
107,400 23:00
110,000 24:00

120,000 would be an additional 2,000 on top of the 2,600.

What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense.
I look at this and everything I've thought about OOT/Undertale seems to be lining up. Now, I haven't followed this match today at all, but Undertale did get a rally, right? Or was it Melee? Or both? In any case, Mario 64 being within a percent speaks well to Ocarina in the finals in my mind.

Also, I would like to see a OOT/CT bonus poll just so we can close the case on CT winning ya bunch of crazies!!

Undertale got a rally, but the fact that it got the lead so early has kept it relatively subdued.
Melee also got a rally which is definitely helping SM64 stay afloat.

I don't think people care about that.

People just REALLY dislike their game of choice losing. It's like... the worst thing in the world. Doubly so if the game being voted for is relatively new and not well known around these parts.

Today is nothing compared to what Undertale did to Pokemon when it decided to step on the gas. Having faith in Ocarina because Undertale decided to put Mario away in two hours doesn't seem like the best idea to me, but I'm not one to judge!

So basically, by losing almost instantly and not putting up any fight, SM64 will look better than most of the games who actually tried to win it.
Lol X-stats
No these stats are OBJECTIVE TRUTH since these polls actually completely determine the relative quality of games

At least that's what I've been hearing!
