Damn. I wanted to see if Melee could string together that false hope a little longer.

Welcome to the League of Antivotes.
Well, I think the only thing that can save me at this point is if Undertale gets stripped of several thousand votes for stuffing.

......BELIEVE.

The fact it took THE INTERNET to even get in range of those vote totals speaks to how big these contests used to be and how they totally aren't now! Other than that, the constant vote total updates don't do much for me!

With votals dropping now, these cuts and gains are mostly random. But UT reached 80k votes now.

3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail
I'm still trying to get caught up on reading all of the posts that were made while I was sleeping earlier today.

Anyways, there were 5056 votes during the 6:00-7:00 PM hour. Maintaining that for another 5 hours brings the final vote total up to 181160. Although I expect vote totals to slow down over the next few hours, but we should have no issue breaking 170000 votes to secure the second highest voted match in contest history.

Mishuda or whatever has more followers than Mango, and his tweet did nothing to help Pokemon. Melee needed a front page smashboards link.

I mean I guess all the pros could always tweet again, I dunno.


Hylian didn't do it, but does anyone else here know anyone at Smashboards that could try it?

I actually think that that is within the realm of possibility. Not a significant chance, but it really wouldn't shock me.

I need Melee to start rallying again. This thing at least needs to break the 24-hour record (190k-ish) even if it doesn't break the 25-hour one set by the 07 final.

I also really loved how apathetic the big name SSBM fans were about winning the contest.

"Melee can always win this annual contest, why should we try to get in poor lil' Undertale's way"

Melee Always Wins


My favorite is the people who refused to rally because "neither is actually the based game ever" so they couldn't in good faith vote for either.


Those people drive me crazy.

I mean in reality that was Undertale's worst update since the dead zone. I can't actually imagine a successful comeback since it'll just have a 280754 vote update if this actually gets close.

Pretty much. The "Undertale subreddit shut down rallies" wasn't entirely accurate. In fact it may be more successful than the Melee subreddit now due to the Melee one falling down the list while Undertale is stickied.

I hate how rallying for most games is such a chore. But then League and Undertale can just have these sustained rallies to put them at elite level while being able to pull thousands of votes out of their ass whenever that's not enough.

15 minutes until this becomes the most popular 1v1 poll ever

If nothing else keeping an eye on the votals has been a fun distraction. And at least OOT can die.

Welcome to the League of Antivotes.
If nothing else, maybe Melee will bring Undertale down to 51.18% so I can end with a perfect Oracle pick!

So true. I remember posting in the Nintendo subreddit for the Metroid vs Skyrim match, and they laughed me out of existence.

Guess a rally needs to be sparked by some sort of community leader rather than some random dumbass nobody had seen.

I saw the last few updates, and I noticed it stayed right at 51.3%.

Well, I think OOT knows its target now. It needs to pull 85K votes to guarantee itself a win. What do you got, Link?

Welcome to the League of Antivotes.
Come on, Melee.
This is a pretty sad attempt at giving false hope.
Can't you at least hit a few quotas ?
We are probably within the range where a yellow site-wide banner would have

1) Pushed us over the 24-hour mark of the 2007 final

2) Given Melee the win.

Thought of saying "all but", but yeah. Especially because OOT should stand up to the rally a bit better. I think 85K is enough. This is on a weekend and Undertale will barely hit that number.

No, it would just put the Undertale bots into overdrive.

Haven't you noticed that the number of votes gained by the opposing game is irrelevant?

Undertale also doesn't need to hit 85,000 votes to secure a win.

The rally's not infinite, but it still has ferocity yet untapped. This is not its full power. It hasn't been pushed to the max yet.

1/5th of the Steam users who had it have voted for it. Of course, that's probably a pretty unreasonable number as there's a lot of people who've watched it too.

I wonder if it can break 100k.

What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense.
Well, there's been like, what, 500+ one-on-one matches in the 13 year history of these and this is now the match with the most votes of any of them.

Pretty cool.
