That's the plot twist. Boring is the new unique.


Gross.


It's not gross. It's unexpected and more interesting! It's the shake up this contest needs after Undertale became the obvious winner.

Super Mario RPG is the real answer. Bolieve!

No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.
Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest!
Alright MGS, now's the time to do your stealth comeback just in time to catch Mario off guard and guarantee a spot in the semis! <;_;

Undertale winning has become just as boring of a plotline as OoT winning because nearly everybody saw it coming from the start. Once it beat ME3, the contest was over.


It totally could have lost each time!

Agreed. This kind of analysis is what the stats topic is all about.

Edit: Okay, there are other posts dedicated to analysis worth reading, of course.

I'm not so convinced OOT beating Melee is a foregone conclusion. If phrased properly on reddit (say "Zelda is a powerhouse that always wins on GameFAQs and this is the only chance we can get Melee recognition it deserves" for instance) I could see most ralliers voting for Melee.

Also, Melee fans are rabid about Melee. That's why they even show up to begin with.

People put predictions for Mario back then based on his outside-GameFAQs appeal. You have to consider these factors when making a bracket.


Of course they did! It was the very first contest of any kind, and Mario is the icon of the video game world. Before anyone knew anything about these sorts of contests, you naturally went with casual appeal popular icons. It had absolutely zero to do with 'is XXX website going to be rallied for XXX character.' These arguments seem so over the top. You know way better than this.


Mario beat Crono in the second year as well though, then mysteriously loses Mario/Crono III by a landslide. Likely because people didn't rally as hard.

Rally backfire or not, All Melee needs to do is rally more and it can beat Ocarina of Time, if it got there.

Man, if Link can draw serious rally backfire against Draven, you don't think it'll be pretty significant against Melee? Backfire against CT was probably very minimal, and it barely won.

He's not mistaken! Even against Mario 64, it was getting doubled at the freeze, despite the rally kicking in very early.

This is simply Melee reaping what it has sown by beating the two most beloved JRPGs on the site back to back

What
I'm not sure how much reddit support is helping Melee here. If it's high then Melee might be in serious trouble right now.

Melee barely winning or losing may cause its fans to rally harder, its not necessarily a bad thing.
