Eh, the problem is most big gamers have already streamed the game, and I'm not going to scour the Internet for a poll, but like I said, that does give Undertale a lot of publicity. Melee is for hardcore Nintendo fans and older games, but Undertale is the present.


Melee has an active tournament scene that is driving most of the energy behind these rallies. Its Twitch rallying potential is also really high.

Which isn't to take anything away from Undertale but the nature of thie battle is somewhat different than just old vs. new.


Oh I know, and I know Melee is still quite popular, but just not in the same venues as Undertale like Tumblr and Twitter.

If someone can actually get Trump to tweet about this (I know you were joking, Ulti) then this would definitely take the cake as the greatest match ever.


Someone just needs to show Trump the current map, with America against the World.

Melee overtaking Undertale was the worst thing that could've happened to it. There's only one shot left, and that's to wait till the final hours to use that 2.2 million twitter follower trump card, if it exists.

I think Undertale has put up too awesome of a performance to lose right now. Going against Melee with the firm support of nearly all of the competitive community and still coming out on top is amazing. How many titles can you say are capable of that, especially one that's barely three months old?

Undertale would even put up a good fight against LoL at the rate we're going. I still think that match should be a thing, even if some strings have to be pulled over on Reddit between the two subreddits.
I know this is all just part of the plan, Melee. You can't fail me now. I've come so close.

Please win. For me. Because I believe.

the match has officially surpassed Link/Shepard/Draven in votals
So this is what happens when you use a wand of striking on a drawbridge.

What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense.
last two updates were nearly identical

BOTS ON BOTH SIDES CONFIRMED

Undertale is drawing more votes right now than it drew at its peak in the Pokemon match and has done it for longer. This is on top of picking up a ton of votes at the start of the match.

There is zero way that this is legit.

Undertale isn't doing anything new here. Melee dropping off is a big part of this, if you consider less than 400 updates a drop off.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
I don't think some of you guys realize that it's in the nature of Undertale to have an absurd vote ceiling. It was a $10 game on Steam, meaning that naturally, the entirety of its audience is on the Internet. Add that to the fact that the game has sparked a very well-connected fandom, and is still very recent, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if, like , at least 30% of the people who bought it show up.

Not only that, it's connected to another well-connected fandom, Homestuck, which is also quite recent and all on the internet.

That would be awesome, but might backfire. His followers probably favor Undertale more.

It's seriously all good, I wasn't trying to come off like a douche. Just imagine years of people bragging about cheating (not that you were cheating) and that's where I was coming from. The stats topic not having that has been nice.

Allen should get in touch with the r/LoL mods and try to get them to sticky a rally so we can have LoL vs Undertale.

Can plucky underdog League of Legends take down the greatest rally in history?
We are now at 6.7% of ahead of 2007 finals voters. Still on pace for 200K.

No Tumblr post about this match has 1000 notes. Tumblr drew in 40K votes in earlier matches and seems to have drawn nothing in now.

This makes no sense.

Here's a post from a different forum:

What's worrying me is that as strong as Melee is, I don't think it's OOT strong. Unless the overlap between the rabid OOT fans and Undertale haters is even bigger than I thought, I'm not sure either game can beat OOT unless the losing side helps the winning side in the final round, or OOT miraculously loses before then.

So yeah, people outside of Board 8 are always going to consider Undertale an Underdog. Just how it works.

Starting to get later in the day when Undertale is the strongest... from wherever it gets its votes.
---
I like giant robots.
Though I will say it's extremely surreal to see the same top players that I've been watching for years rallying against UNDERTALE lol


from toby just now. will we see an increase for UT, i wonder?

The melee rally on r/smashbros just fell off the top spot.

I don't see how OoT is going to get near these numbers against either of these games.

Don't you know the Undertale and Homestuck fanbases have a secret line of communications where they can rally without us seeing?

It's the new meta.

I mean, we're still getting people here that believe Ocarina can win the match.

I said this in the last stats topic, but there's no way Ocarina of Time doesn't get embarassed on Tuesday. This contest is over.

Lol to be naive again.
OOT will get buried so hard.

The same people who have voted in previous matches probably know about this match, the tumblr posts are only daily reminders.

From what it looks like, the Melee rally is the only thing keeping it from getting crushed like 65-35. OOT should get destroyed, because Undertale ralliers are going to be like "oh damn, finals against OOT rally everything!!" when really it's just like SM64 (except for that one they didn't have everyone rallying, not to mention the Melee rally was also there).
