America is favoring Undertale so this is probably legit, but I don't blame anyone for wanting the spikes verified.

Let's retroactively retire Ocarina of Time while we're at it.

Chrono Trigger vs. Mario RPG

Mario vs. Crono: The Final Showdown


I thought the whole point of the Mario vs Crono series was that there was an actual competition involved

Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses
I come back and Undertale is still building a lead. Jesus.
By the way, I'm going to laugh so hard if the Undertale well just dries up at around 6 oclock and Melee chips its way back into this.

I also don't like Undertale_bot tweet from the very first match, when he said he "rigged the vote lol"
At first I didn't buy it, looked like an obvious bait
But after his tweet in the Pokemon match (I think) caused all hell to break loose and the weird stuff we see now..I don't know
Seems like a bot DID manipulate the results (and no Allen I don't think your topic was funny, go check this again)

I'm supporting Undertale and all, but ExTha is 100% right about some of these updates being fishy, ESPECIALLY when you look at geolocation. They don't match up with Undertale's other matches.

Or at the very least, they're oddball enough updates to where one suspecting nefarious activity shouldn't be looked down on. Melee got an obvious rally point and then bang, right on cue Undertale starts pulling out massive 650-700 vote updates. Then when it started getting a lead, it slowed down too much. That isn't really how rallies work, and in the comebacks it just went nuts even after getting the lead.

If nothing else, it performs drastically differently with a lead. The entire chat was in agreement on this, even those who want Melee to lose.

Edit: There is not a doubt in my mind that if Melee started coming back, Undertale would find 700 vote updates again. That's kind of nuts.


It would have to be someone on board 8 (or familiar with the goings on of the board) who is stuffing. They would have to be watching the updater as Undertale usually started its pushback a couple updates later.
What if we find out Smurf is a big Undertale fan and he is the one pulling the strings

Even if there is cheating, it's very unlikely to assume Undertale_bot is involved. We have seen it against SM64 and it only resulted in a small increase. I don't think eventual stuffers would want to announce when they start with a public twitt (and if they want to coordinate, they could just use email).
And if their goal is to hide the stuffing by pretending it leads to rally, they wouldn't have wasted it against SM64 and would just have made it post nothing.
Oh man I remember on the day of FFVII/OOT in 2004, someone tried to confess to stuffing about 8000 votes for FFVII on Board 8, in a failed attempt to get votes removed from FF7.

Best possible result is Allen discovers Undertale_bot actually was cheating but says it was his wife who logged into his account to say it wasn't.

Smurf is not capable of cheating that hard. He's tried before and always gets caught.

I dunno, probably legit and just finding PHANTOM PAIN™.

So no one knows how to figure out a minimum number of votes based on Geolocation? People did it in 2013, and while the results would be less precise with only two entrants, I imagine the process is largely the same.

This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*!
Things are way more settled now. Sad we aren't gonna pass the 195k votal mark, but even still, this match has been fun. I think Melee's time is over now though unless they make a last minute comeback, and at the rate we're going UT is going to build up too big of a lead for Melee to do anything.

Link is much stronger than OoT


Ha, no way. Not even close.


You're joking right? Many zelda fans think OoT is overrated, and zelda fans have a lot of variance on their favorite zelda game. One thing they all have in common though is that they love Link. Link get's the zelda fandoms 100%, Oot does not.


No way. I don't care a single bit about Link, he has no personality, but man is his games great.

We have dropped precipitously in the last hour relative to the 2007 final. We are now only about 3% ahead of it and are no longer on pace to break 200K votes.

Because the 2007 final lasted 25 hours, we are now barely on pace to get more votes than that match.

I tried figuring out how to calculate it for hours but I suck at math
How do you do it anyway?
Like, if I tell you "I have a pot with 33% white balls, 66% of them are black, what is the minimum amount of balls in the pot?"
The answer is easily 3 (one white two black) but if I change it to 36.76% white and 63.24% black, how do you figure out the number?

Such a lust for revenge
Plot twist: the mysterious figure on Zelda's side (the same one from CB IX that almost got Link to win) has been polishing his mad rallies skillz since then and is now helping Undertale get through the whole contest. When Grand Finals come they'll drop support and OOT will have a safe cruise to victory, completely unopposed. Just as planned.
Ladies and gentlemen, the most stupid close match in any GameFAQs contest.

how the hell is Undertale getting 70k votes. I don't care what people say this has to be vote stuffing. If not where the hell are all the new accounts making crappy topics? Why is the board so slow? During the L-block final the board was crazy. This just doesn't feel like a match that has had 140k people vote for it when it still has 8 hours left.

If Melee uses this pace and tries to win very late, it can win. It took the lead too early.
