Changlini posted... it can bw agreed that smash put up an amazing fight though. In the end we honor not only the Glory of the Victorious, but the Valour of the Defeated. |
Has
anyone figured out how Undertale won the majority of votes in
non-English speaking countries like China, Mongolia, and most of
southeast Asia? I think the Russian/eastern Europes votes are probably
accounted for due to there being a lot of Russian streamers playing the
game, but I'm not sure about Asia. Not that I think SSBM would've won against Undertale without these votes, of course. With every step Melee took, Undertale seemed to have been able to hit back twice as hard. --- "... when I try and visualize what a supreme ultimate being would look like, the first thing I visualize is always a naked girl." ~Armor King 108 (edited 12/13/2015 6:07:35 PM)report |

ROUND 6 – DAY 2 – SEMIFINAL 2 Match CXXVI: (1) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time vs. (9) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Previous Rounds The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 91.03% against Hearthstone 76.89% against Suikoden II 64.96% against Final Fantasy IX 68.18% against Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 59.90% against The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 54.43% against The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 57.20% against Grand Theft Auto V 60.74% against Chrono Cross 55.53% against Resident Evil 4 52.32% against Metal Gear Solid 3 Analysis I give Super Mario RPG a lot of respect at reaching the semifinals, but it pretty much has no chance at winning here. Even ignoring SFF this match is going to show just how weak the bottom quarter of the bracket is. MGS3 and RE4 were clearly weaker than Majora’s Mask in 2010 and based on what I saw over the contest I doubt things have changed. In a fair match I would imagine Super Mario RPG would do just a bit better than what Final Fantasy IX got. Overall SFF has been pretty minimal in this contest, but I do expect there to be some. The bigger factor to look at would be the spillover from today’s match. We are currently heading for one of the highest vote total in GameFAQs history which is about five times more votes than what we had at the beginning of the contest. Personally I would imagine this would be bad news for Super Mario RPG. Both Undertale and Melee fans love Zelda and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was by more than what Ocarina of Time would normally defeat Super Mario RPG by. charmander6000’s Bracket: LoZ: Ocarina of Time > Metal Gear Solid charmander6000’s Prediction: LoZ: Ocarina of Time wins, 66.87% - 33.13% --- BGE3: Today's Matches SM64 > FFVII Points 211/320 |
We have now surpassed this match in vote totals: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2926-tournament-bonus-l-block-paddle-cube- With those vote totals now surpassed, today's match is officially the second highest voted match of all-time. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

Dark Silvergun posted... I've got it! no point, LoL subreddit doesn't allow rallies anymore, so it would just be base Draven, which is hideously weak --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
Has mango tweeted yet? The only hope is a last minute sneak attack. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

Calintares posted... no point, LoL subreddit doesn't allow rallies anymore, so it would just be base Draven, which is hideously weak It might be possible to arrange a deal with the subreddit mods for a rally topic if we clearly explain to them that it is a bonus match and does not officially count towards the contest. Also, Draven should be replaced by "League of Legends" since this a games contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Doesn't look like mango tweeted... Everyone bug him to --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Lmao mango don't care about this. He's got bigger fish to fry. Like actually winning a major again instead of letting armada sweep everyone. --- - Time waits for no one - Bellum omnium contra omnes |

No.
Melee's spirit was broken after its lead change was rewarded with
Undertale going berserk again. And then Hylian ended up being a liar. --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." - Asch, Tales of the Abyss |
People have this odd habit of equating being mistaken with being a liar. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I'm sure there is someone waiting until the final hour with tens of thousands of votes at their disposal BELIEVE |
Part of me is hoping someone is waiting to stuff like 5000 votes on the last update. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Part of me is hoping someone is waiting to stuff like 5000 votes on the last update. This would be the greatest result ever. Mostly because Allen wouldn't care nor do anything about it. --- Yay - DpObliVion is the guru champion of awesomeness. |

OrangeCrush980 posted... No. Melee's spirit was broken after its lead change was rewarded with Undertale going berserk again. And then Hylian ended up being a liar. I've lied about absolutely nothing. Honestly, melee put up an amazing fight. I knew the numbers were going to be insane, but I didn't think it would quite this crazy. Home for a second, showering and then going to work party. It's a shame melee couldn't pull it out. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
Yeah dudes Hylian hasn't lied about anything, don't be dicks -LusterSoldier- posted... It might be possible to arrange a deal with the subreddit mods for a rally topic if we clearly explain to them that it is a bonus match and does not officially count towards the contest. Also, Draven should be replaced by "League of Legends" since this a games contest. The reason it was banned was that they were tired of the spam. I don't think they would want to do gamefaqs a "favor." --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Hylian did the best he could. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |
LordoftheMorons posted... The reason it was banned was that they were tired of the spam. I don't think they would want to do gamefaqs a "favor." Arranging a deal with the subreddit mods on a bonus match wouldn't cause any concerns with spam, since only one topic would be allowed and any other topics about the match gets deleted. If the topic was stickied as well, it would almost certainly prevent any new topics from being created about the match since everyone would see the stickied topic. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Hylian88, thanks very much for trying! I greatly appreciate what you were able to do! --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |

Since this is over let's make our own fun. Let's hypothetically say Dylan Sprouse and Mango tweeted at the same time. How many votes per update would Melee need? |

So
since Melee is done how do we help OoT beat Undertale? I think OoT's
backfire rate for undertale rallies will be just as high as pokemon was
if not higher since it's OoT. Hopefully we get a site banner to boost
OoT a bit as well. Will also try some Zelda facebook pages that still
seem active since that was a big part of Link's strength vs Draven
especially in the last few hours of that match. https://www.facebook.com/OcarinaofTime3DS/ https://www.facebook.com/SkywardSwordWii/?fref=nf https://www.facebook.com/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Ocarina-of-Time-N64-is-greatest-game-of-all-time-281824415125/ https://www.facebook.com/LoZmemes/ https://www.facebook.com/LegendofZelda/ https://www.facebook.com/zeldauniverse https://www.facebook.com/ZeldaInformer https://www.facebook.com/I.love.Legend.of.Zelda Would all be good to message if you have a few minutes though the official zelda page is probably a waste of time. If you are only going to message one then message the skyward sword Facebook since they rallied for Link vs Draven. There are tons of potential twitter accounts to rally. I will message these three as soon as the match starts: https://twitter.com/Zelda_Game https://twitter.com/legend_of_zelda https://twitter.com/ZeldaUniverse They are big enough to make a difference but also small enough to actually respond. r/gaming would be nice but I don't think it will happen unless a large portion of people from here upvote a topic about it as soon as it's made. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny.

LordoftheMorons posted... Lynx_7 posted...Since this is over let's make our own fun. Let's hypothetically say Dylan Sprouse and Mango tweeted at the same time. Totally doable :P Also, where did you guys get the idea there'll be a site banner? Did Allen confirm that? |
There was last contest Don't think he's confirmed anything. I do remember that some people that didn't care about the contest were annoyed by it, so he might not do it. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
To
put 226.7 in perspective, Undertale could get zero votes for the
remainder of the match and still win based on Melee's current pace. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
r/gaming might allow a general topic just announcing that the final is taking place. Any rally topic will be deleted. |
If
bonus polls can only be held for one day and it's the day right after
the contest, what polls would you like to see? Would you still like
serious matchups even though massive spillover is guaranteed? We could
be spiteful and ask for Undertale vs unrallied League of Legends.
>_> --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Ideally OoT will roll over and we can have a real match like CT/OoT with minimal spillover. --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
tennisboy213 posted... r/gaming might allow a general topic just announcing that the final is taking place. Any rally topic will be deleted. I say go for it. Even a neutral topic would benefit OOT. Not that I think any of this matters, by the way, but I commend anyone willing to try. |

But if we only get one, let's get Ocarina, CT, RBY, and FFVII to settle their business. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest runner-up. |
Plot twist We rally against OoT int he SMRPG round and then have UT vs SMRPG |

I think the Russian/eastern Europes votes are probably accounted for due to there being a lot of Russian streamers playing the game, but I'm not sure about Asia. This is what I was thinking as well. Melee has a huge world wide following yet was crushed in Asia and russia. Seems very strange and I wish we had actual numbers. --- http://i.imgur.com/Rqk1DYV.gif - Super Bowl XXI/XXV/XLII/XLVI Champions - NY Giants Eli Manning SB tracker: 2/2 Superbowls 2/2 SBMVP's |
Krozuck posted... Plot twist The real plot twist would be if Grand Finals were tomorrow, Undertale vs OOT/SMRPG combined as a single entry. A contestant to surpass |
Almost 90k votes for Undertale, wow OoT seriously has a chance here though? I don't think it's rally is as strong as that of Melee. |
I'd
love one year to be a Worst Games Ever poll, but only using a certain
pool of games (because otherwise, OoT, FF7, Melee, and Undertale will be
the finalists). --- Don't forget about your self-care~! |
