GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1252
DaruniaTheGoron posted... My point is that Undertale doing so well now is not necessarily an indication of an increase in strength. We saw against Mario 64 that it tailed off. I don't think the well is bottomless. I think that there is a limited voter pool and it's entirely possible that it isn't more than 60-70K extra voters. Which means that if Melee keeps rallying, combined with its natural advantage on GameFAQs, I have a feeling that the afternoon comeback could be swinging the other way tomorrow. Is the voter pool growing by a significant number, though? Bringing this match to the 200K we're on pace for would require Undertale bringing in close to 50K new voters that haven't shown up yet. Does that really make sense? --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
S2J and TOPH also showing some love to undertale. https://twitter.com/S2JFALCON/status/665493900493062145 https://twitter.com/toph_bbq/status/675924278357852160 I'm legit surprised! |
Okay back to business! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Wait, actually that S2J twitt is from november. Still! |
Why does it look like the %s don't change at all? --- "This information may be too extensive for some BLADE members, but those individuals will probably die penniless." |

I agree with you that the voter pool could be smaller. I think we are headed to 150k, not 200k. It's the weekend and tumblr users are up late and aware of the start time of the match. They are just voting en masse early because they really care and aren't simply voting when reminded. It will keep up throughout the day but we won't see as big of a surge during the day vote IMO. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Aren't there Brawl fans who dislike Melee so much they'll vote for Undertake? --- Arcvalons really is a genius.-kamikazetomato. Voice of Myself. |
Undyne posted... https://twitter.com/bobbyscar/status/675921477246447617 I really doubt he voted for either. Melee has helped people like Toph/Scar get jobs at Twitch and is their life in general, though they love undertale yeah. Scar also wasn't one of the power sources lol, but I promise you like 99% of the people following scar are melee fanatics so it doesn't matter if he votes for melee, if he makes the competition known his followers will vote for melee. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
Arcvalons posted... Aren't there Brawl fans who dislike Melee so much they'll vote for Undertake? Yes, there are plenty of smash 4 players like this as well. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
Arcvalons posted... Undertake lmao get auto corrected --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
"I voted for @UnderTale. Suck it Melee lmfao" Hylian, you sure the 2.2million guy is going to tweet in FAVOR of Melee, right? |

That was my entire point. Which means that we won't see the afternoon surge that we are used to and that Undertale could fade throughout the day (I also brought up the weekend point in my original post that got lost due to the crash). --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Hylian88 posted... Undyne posted...https://twitter.com/bobbyscar/status/675921477246447617 Exactly right --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
....Undertale already balancing out again, jesus christ. |
MetaFalconPunch posted... Why does it look like the %s don't change at all? They are changing. The more votes total the smaller the % change per update though. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
But it refused. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
Hard to believe contests here can still get this crazy in 2015. |
Lynx_7 posted... "I voted for @UnderTale. Suck it Melee lmfao" Yes. Also, doesn't matter that toph voted for undertale, all of his followers are melee fanatics and most of them that would click a contest link would vote for melee. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
You people still don't understand how the whole Rallydrones thing works, huh --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
Hylian88 posted... Lynx_7 posted..."I voted for @UnderTale. Suck it Melee lmfao" I would almost argue him saying he voted for Undertale and "suck it Melee" might even piss more people off enough to vote for Melee... --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Hylian88 posted... Also, doesn't matter that toph voted for undertale, all of his followers are melee fanatics and most of them that would click a contest link would vote for melee. I'm not as convinced of this as you are. The majority of them maybe, but that's sure to up the backfire rate among people who have played both (and may be a net negative given those same people would likely hear about the match anyway later). --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
holy crap these votals This is exactly what I was hoping for back in 2013 when the whole Draven thing got rolling. It took two years and two beloved games to make it happen, but we're finally seeing a real rally war! I'm so glad I came back to GameFAQS when I did. I would've hated myself if I'd missed this. --- Remember when you were young? No longer bearing the mark of Kan. I'm a new man now. |
an ACTUAL cut |
Smash cut! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
This is gonna be a long day. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
Melee at max power SHOULD be stronger than Undertale at max power. In theory. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Undertale slowed down there. Hope it means something, but I doubt it. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
The thread on reddit just reached the top link fyi --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

LordoftheMorons posted... Hylian88 posted...Also, doesn't matter that toph voted for undertale, all of his followers are melee fanatics and most of them that would click a contest link would vote for melee. Certainly it's not a 100% thing, but if you're a competitive melee player/follow the scene then you know it to be true. Melee players are fanatics lol, it's something they are proud of. Sakurai called the competitive melee fanbase "maniacs" and it's something they took to heart. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
LordoftheMorons posted... You know who has the ability to change the future Shulk isn't in Melee though |
UltimaterializerX posted... Melee at max power SHOULD be stronger than Undertale at max power. In theory. Well, when they top a 940 update, let me know. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Do people think OoT will pull better numbers vs Undertale than melee? Oot isn't as strong a Link. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
And Undertale's regular late-night slowdown starts early tonight. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
hah Melee really is going to make a match of it. 200k+ votals here we come. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
LordoftheMorons posted... You know who has the ability to change the future If only Shulk was on Melee! |
TheOneAboveAll posted... And Undertale's regular late-night slowdown starts early tonight. If this were any other match, we'd be freaking out over those 500+ vote updates for Undertale lol |
Melee's gonna have to do better than sub 51% cuts as we start to move into Undertale's weakest time of the match. --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
Hylian88 posted... Undyne posted...Uhhhh, now that...whatever that was is over... Eh, don't bother Hylian, they'll be eating their words in 12 hours. Best way to convince them is to actually do it. |
Lynx_7 posted... LordoftheMorons posted...You know who has the ability to change the future we think alike huh |
Cut #2 --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Karma Hunter posted... Melee's gonna have to do better than sub 51% cuts as we start to move into Undertale's weakest time of the match. IMO Undertale fans are up late because of the weekend and still voting. This does not surprise me. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Hylian
you do realize that literally everyone that's played smash or visits
smashboards has connections, right. It's not like Armada has the secret
service surrounding him, we all know who he is and how to reach him. You'd better repeat it for the final though if Melee wins, that's all I'm saying. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
I don't know why people are gloating quite yet. Match isn't even half over and Melee has shown it has rally Power. Unless Both rallies have already expended their power this soon then there's no chance this is a forgone conclusion |
How about instead of CT/FF7/OoT matches let's just have Undertale vs. League Of Legends as the bonus match huh? --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
found an undertale post on tumblr with 3500 notes by undertaleheadcanons they voted melee and apparently made some folks upset so they won't be posting about the contest anymore --- Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. |
