Also all things considered, CT was pretty lucky.
It would have been embarassed pretty badly against this Melee.


What this contest has taught me is that rallies work on supply and demand.

CT is low demand so it'd never garner a rally of this size against it, thus being impossible to embarass itself against either Melee or Undertale. Just ask Mario 64, he's in the known.


Apparently Ryu and Mega Man X were mega-high demand characters...
Melee is rapidly collapsing, huh.
Wouldn't say it's collapsing, but Undertale is starting to pull away bit by bit.

Melee is showing what a normal rally and normal voting looks like.

Undertale looks like 200 stuffed votes per update.


exactly

And every time Undertale has looked in remote danger they just happen to find a surge of HUNDREDS

if Allen says/does nothing I won't be surprised but it'll be hard to care about future results.


All the votes were coming from Twitter, Facebook , Reddit, 4chan, Tumblr , Gamefaqs, Youtube, Twitch and Google.
Even when ramping up the anti stuffing, there was nothing suspicious.
Every single one of those votes was legit.
So

Are we going to have 30% of the people who own this game voting in this poll by the end of the day

I thought this was a boring match when I saw Undertale increasing its lead. I thought Melee didn't really have a rally.

...Until I saw the vote totals. Holy crap.

Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective?

better make it soon

To be serious for a second though. Yeah, this was completely expected. Melee just doesn't have what it takes to do this. Nothing likely does.

these things never fail

Get dunked on Melee.
Undertale is just so much more practiced at this than Melee. It's been there, done that. Melee has no stressed too hard this contest with its rallies, but UT fans are prepared.

Can't wait for the loud minority of Undertale fans to go full douchebag/toxic because they win this competition.

May that be Undertale's downfall.
Melee is one of the finest strongholds against Undertale, maybe not as great as Ocarina of Time, but for one it has a worldwide following enough to compete with Undertale in Europe. Good places to take votes from in Europe to ensure victory would be the Melee Favorable Sweden. And in the US it will need to get all the votes it can get from the Tristate region, a very popular region for Melee. Melee has enough following to compete in South America, but doesn't have any centralization unlike its hold in the US. If Melee can get votes from Mexico and Canada and just get enough of them (Mexico and Canada are the biggest Pro-Melee Regions) then it will benefit greatly. Japan is also looking like a great place to boost Melee votes as it is absolutely the home of Smash Melee. Now, Melee struggles in this category of proxies. Undertale has about 4 times more proxy/tor votes and this is noticeable in Bolivia, China, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Iran, Turkey, Indonesia, and other countless Eastern European entities. Melee has a fair shot and it has been close, but Undertale is now accelerating right after the constant Melee votes that put it over the top in a slight lead, is now faltering and if Melee can't hold up in the afternoon then it may not have a chance. Undertale has been leading in the early morning (excluding the first hour) and I doubt Melee will win if it can't regain the lead within the next 6 hours.
Don't worry guys pro players will rally on smashboards

You know, I think we are in the "watch the contest burn" territory, we had something similar two years ago thanks to Draven, which is why we had weird stuff like Vivi>Mario and Squirtle>Cloud and so on
I won't be surprised if SMRPG overperform..or even take the lead for a time
Hell SMRPG outright winning won't be the most surprising result, this contest is f***ed up

Melee should've had this, but now it's down by thousands for no f***ing reason.

Melee is a much bigger stronghold than OOT can ever hope to be. I don't see OOT putting up this kind of match. No freaking way. Its votals will probably be much more in line with RBY vs Undertale than to this match.

Spoilers: Melee is Sans, OOT is Asgore.
I love the idiots that thought Melee was going to win here.

This contest was over the second Undertale started crushing RBY with it's kiddy vote.

If by that you mean when it took the lead vs ME3, sure

Mostly I'm just here in awe of the ridiculously high votals. I don't even care who wins at this point <_<
Alert
http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Most_Popular_Matches

With 129420 votes, this is now in the top 25 all-time for one-on-one match votals. Cloud/Link 2010 (129018) has been surpassed.

The record for one-on-ones is still Zelda vs. FF in the 2006 series contest, with 158527. That should fall in relatively short order, maybe within 3 or 4 hours.

Bolivia, China, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Iran, Turkey, Indonesia

* Bolivia is SSBM turf.
* China/Russia/Poland are definitely on Undertale turf.
* Ukraine/Turkey is on Undertale's turf as well, but due to the low amount of votes there, it's number is quite even.
* Iran could have an extremely low number of votes for UT since SSBM has no votes for it.
* Although Indonesia has UT winning, it's not winning by a great amount.

In other words, it's possible for China/Russia/Poland to be doing that; not so much for the other countries.

Also, due to the majority of votes going to North America, if there is any possible vote stuffing, it's a very low amount.

In comparison as of now:
United States of America: SSBM: 49.52% | UT: 50.48%
The current poll: SSBM: 48.94% | UT: 51.06%

If Melee creeps around until there's 5 minutes left and a bunch of pros tweet, it's definitely possible.

The real shocker of all this is people believing Zelda rolls over to rallies. This is the real surprise. Undertale ain't new, Link's been here before. He knows. Ocarina of Time isn't gonna roll over.

i want to believe

i really do

but all hope has left me

only despair now


Well, Link's already lost to L-Block and Draven with rallies...

Wang Junxia's 10000m record still stands today for whatever reason, so it's official unless Allen takes votes away. Until that time, if it comes, let's see how insane the numbers get!
