Oh and tumblr really hasn't shown up yet. This could actually get silly later.


Perhaps some, but not all, of the tumblr voters remembered that an Undertale poll was today and had already voted. They could definitely still rally off of it though.
I didn't know this, or I forgot, but the 2007 final was a 25 hour match?

The 24-hour total is 190811 - that should be the first target before we start thinking about the record or 200k

I think the thing is that SSBM is far more deserving a best game ever tournament than bloody Undertale.


I can't even remotely disagree. The problem is Melee might just not care in the final, which would be awful.


Ideally I'd hope they give up somewhat after this and OoT wins the final. I can but hope!

There is no way that these aren't our usual Tumble voters, even if we're not seeing the big shares. The votes have to be coming from somewhere. Undertale did not spring up 30K new voters overnight.

I've actually been looking at geolocation and trying to figure this out. Melee has the US and Canada. Is Undertale's slim lead in Europe really accounting for Undertale's (previous) lead? Or is it the rest of the world?

Yeah, I picked up on that a few hours ago. And we look to be on pace to beat the 195K but not quite at the 200K.

I wish, and I do think CT would be getting absurdly high votals in this match due to how huge this match is, but unfortunately, don't think it has the rally power to actually make it a match here. Melee's rally is stronger this round - in large part because its opponent is Undertale rather than Chrono Trigger (so Melee couldn't get this strong a rally against CT).

Not the entirety of Europe, more Eastern Europe and South America. Places where older games might not have been as prevalent.

These vote totals are so stupid. Probably over half of the votes per update from both sides are bogus at this point

But both sides are doing it so it's pretty cool to watch

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

The increased Undertale votals are probably coming from the Melee rallies themselves, so it's no surprise that Melee wins these updates anyway.

3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066
Now this just got exciting...still wish this was Chrono Trigger vs. whoever emerged out of the Pokemon/Mario mess though.

Speaking of which, I know some have said that Mario has looked bad all contest, but truth be told we never really got to see Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3 do much of anything thanks to Undertale rally interference, meanwhile Mario 64 looked darn fine itself and Galaxy managed to finish in the top 10 in the x-stats for its quarter of the bracket (admittedly this might say more about how weak that quarter of the bracket is, considering DKC2 and FFXII were top 15 in the x-stats there).

Although then again Mario 64's accomplishments include barely breaking 80% on a Wii U game it should have SFFd (given how this contest has panned out, there may have been no SFF and Mario Kart 8 is just that weak), barely doubling a cult PS1 FF, and getting only 57% on a Zelda sure to have lost popularity over the past few years in a contest where other Zelda games did badly isn't assuring.

How on earth were Wind Waker and Twilight Princess the Zelda games to look best all contest? Although then again Majora's Mask and Link to the Past I guess didn't come out looking bad, it was just MM almost losing to Super Metroid that just gives that stigma off.

Anyway, given how badly GSC and XY did, I think RBY would have been stopped by some Mario game. We would have gotten a rematch between Chrono Trigger and either Super Mario World or 64 probably! Mario vs. Crono! It could have happened guys!

Super Mario RPG probably still wins its quarter of the bracket normally, but I'd wager it caught a bandwagon somewhere along the way. Otherwise MGS3 probably wins it since that game clearly looks to have boosted...wait then how did it fail to break 70% on Mother 3 and almost lose to BioShock?

Presumably. Unless those RTing so quickly are those who have already seen and voted.
