SSS is a little too late since it's west coast, usually doesn't get to the big matches until after this match is going to be over.

Lucky is also going to be at Rubicon weakening the field.

People though the Worlds weren't sure how the Worlds would affect Draven in the final a couple of years back. That turned out to be pretty conclusive.

But with that said it only became conclusive once they stickied the rally, and this tournament won't have the viewership of the LoL World Championships, so it's not exactly the same thing.

Such a lust for revenge
ah..i just checked their stream schedule

Melee is on saturday. could still help since it's so close and the community might be a little more active as a result of a tournament having just happened.

i'd think part of the melee community also plays other fighting games and keeps up with them
Yeah if stuff is actually going on there's the competing force of people posting stuff actually talking about the tournament which can knock the rally down the page (that happened to the Starcraft rally).

Oh f*** the salute. If you lose even with that pic, MGS3, I swear to god.
Man, the salute vs Mario and the Axem Rangers. I really don't know which side has the better pic, they're both super godly.

The actual in-game salute screen would have been better, especially if it captured the teardrop, but this isn't far off from that. I'm pissed as hell at Big Boss and I've been voting for SMRPG non-stop, yet the first thing I thought upon seeing those pictures is "MGS3's got my vote"

I love that 4 people submitted the literal identical MGS3 picture without it being collusion to force it in. Iconic stuff.

Oh wow I expected Undertale to be absolutely destroying Mario after taking the lead at the beginning. Any reason why it is still 51-49?

Don't worry, it's gonna be the selected pic when it goes up against OOT next round. Believe

Lazy Rally Factor. Undertale already had the lead so the people rallying for it aren't trying as hard anymore. As a result, Mario 64 avoids getting destroyed.

No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.
Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest!
Mass Effect 3's #2 spot in the X-Stats has been secured.

Don't let the Mario SNV sneak up on you, Undertale!

Also, remember that LTTP/FFVI was the thing that gave us user made pics in the first place, so it will always have ugly pics if they're not sprites.

Ocarina's pictures are just great. Minus that one awkward one from the official art, weird choice. This one captures OOT perfectly.

I'm convinced Mario RPG is untouchable when it comes to pictures. It just dominates every match.

Mario RPG is very photogenic, yeah. Its sprites are excellent. That's the benefit of coming out so late in the SNES's lifespan!

That's about as good of a pic as MGS3 could've hoped for though. That's the iconic image of the entire series.
---
http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif
Yeah, MGS3 has a great pic, too. It's just the mixture of colors and sprites that make Mario RPG stand out so much. Feel like it's a big nostalgia rush that makes you wanna vote for it. I'd be surprised if MGS3 wins here, if only because Mario RPG has ripped through similar competition and it's way more of a GameFAQs game. Plus, Mario. MARIO.

For what it's worth, Melee has more total votes than Undertale.

Since the match is on a weekend, there will be no ASV trend, everything will be from the get-go. Melee does have a shot at this.

Any got Viviff on contact?

Man, I didn't realize how much the vote totals slowed down over the second half of the match. I guess the rallying dried up for both matches.

Like, the Undertale votals were up early for the Pokemon match and now they are down. Probably ends up close but it just peaked early.

The Melee rally barely even got going tbh. It only has like 400 upvotes on reddit and took hours to go up.

In the CT match it was up around 25 minutes and eventually reached something like 1400 upvotes. If the rally was stronger SM64 conceivably could have won if there really is an Undertale ceiling. If there isn't a ceiling then it likely would have counter rallied though.


The smashboards post alone reached 8k+ people, with almost 3k clicks to the voting link. Some smash pros also retweeted about the competition. It wasn't melees full rally strength, but there was def more than a small reddit thread.

Viviff is not a melee tournament player, he plays smash4. They are not the same scene, and viviff would have pretty much no impact on any sort of melee rally.

I just like to hate on Viviff because he goes around claiming to be a "pro" while living in one of the lowest skilled smash states and not having a single notable result against a well known player, as well has having never placed even remotely well at a national tournament.

He said he could use his connections to help Melee if it was up against Undertale, but I guess it would be the same connections that yoi have.

Animal Crossing is Nintendo!

Their priorities might be different than ours (MM > LTTP, for example), but they very much love Nintendo.

Of course!

But it was against Mario World! Mario World!

Actually, I guess what Tumblr really brings is the New Nintendo love we don't quite have. We should have rallied for Galaxy.
---
satoru iwata
Most of those Tumblrers weren't even born when Mario World came out! They grew up on 3-D Mario!

That being said, I'd still expect them to default to "Mario anything" over MGS3, even if MGS3 is a game that came out within their lifetime. We saw it with FFVIII/Mario World and Sonic 2/Uncharted 2.

Auron is probably the strongest. Dante is second. After that, good luck!

Dunno if you can count Draven now that you can't rally the subreddit anymore.

So yeah, Auron, Dante, and Sora would be the top 3. Maybe Shepard and Kratos a tier down from them to round out the top 5.

I have no respect for Kratos's strength after 2013.

Would also take Tidus, Yuna, Rikku, GLaDOS, Garrus and Amaterasu over him.
