GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1257
Ulti's
showing his ignorance again. The only pre-Draven rally that required a
lot of outside support was Starcraft in 2004. Everything else was small
potatoes and I don't think there were any results changed due to
rallies, aside from the already super close matches like Frog/Chief or
Frog/Liquid. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
And
yes I said Draven cheated too so I'm not sure why you're bringing that
up as a counter-point? Undertale and Draven behaved very similarly. And you're crazy if you think Melee's rally (vs CT) was at all like Undertale. Like go look at the vote totals from 5m update to 5m update. Melee dropped off fairly quickly. Keep in mind a lot of that match was CT's early vote being godly too-- Melee makes that match quite close with or without a rally. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
xp1337 posted... man i literally quoted a post of yours saying something to this effect and expressed my disapproval during melee/undertale He is super selective about this stuff. If one random person complains he does this. He also kind of struggles to understand why a counterrally to fix a result isn't looked down on. --- satoru iwata (edited 12/14/2015 4:22:37 PM)report |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Sorozone posted...I didn't forget. I said majority. Tumblr would obviously be #2 but I would like to know the distribution. I mean he'll never show them, but whatever. Wasn't Draven considered a middle of the road character that had a mixed following at the time of the contest? They also put Teemo in the contest, but everyone hated that guy. Imagine if they put a more popular hero in the contest. Yikes. |
Draven
was done during the LoL tourney, which had over a million people
concurrently watching it. Add that to everything else, and I'm
surprised Draven didn't end up burying the competition more than he did. --- What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense. http://i.imgur.com/rSLadBM.png |
LOLContests posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...ZFS posted...It seems like rallying has become this weird metagame for some of you guys. That's cool if you're into that, but you gotta realize a lot of people aren't and don't care to get that invested in their video game winning a match. Don't ruin my parody. --- While some people cry, others win the Guru Contest. Congratulations to DPOblivion! |
KCGemini posted... Undertale fans have a stronger unification than most fandoms (despite some of them getting out of line), from what I've noticed. That and it's more or less been one hell of a snowball effect. True they are drones. I'd just like to see they data. That's more so my problem. We just have to take his word(which I don't trust after the Draven deal). In anycase I don't really care about rallies, I'm more upset Resident Evil 4 lost to f***ing SMRPG. Also been playing any Mario Kart Ta? --- http://i.imgur.com/dpIEizf.gif |
Lopen posted... And yes I said Draven cheated too so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up as a counter-point? Undertale and Draven behaved very similarly. Easily explained with the fact that the Melee rally required pulling in people from Twitter, while Undertale had a more slow burn with Tumblr/Reddit. Twitter by its nature requires constant tweets all day to have an effect. Also, Undertale's horde of portly 14 year olds have been rallying the game since the first round, more people were aware of the contest and didn't require the quick bursts from twitter. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Oh boy. It's really L-Block 2.0 now with the Kotaku article. It might be a slaughter now instead of the usual close match Undertale does out of its mercy |
Sorozone posted... Also been playing any Mario Kart Ta? Not seriously anymore, but I still play it on occassion. That and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. You still in a clan? --- What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense. http://i.imgur.com/rSLadBM.png |
Melee has a base on reddit too? And it has the Smashboard thing It's not really all that different (And then Melee behaved just like the Undertale "rally" when it had to go against Undertale itself-- why did this happen if they're so different???) --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
armitage999 posted... BlAcK TuRtLe posted...Sorozone posted...I didn't forget. I said majority. Tumblr would obviously be #2 but I would like to know the distribution. I mean he'll never show them, but whatever. I think you'd have a hard time finding a hero in a moba that has universal love like that. LoL suffers from a similar problem as FF6, where an ensemble cast means the characters are much weaker than the game proportionally. I'd still have loved to see Dota2/LoL in a match, as bad as that would ruin the rest of the contest. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
KCGemini posted... Sorozone posted...Also been playing any Mario Kart Ta? Nah. I mostly just time trial. I can't really get into 8 though. So I just play every few weeks for a few hours on a random Saturday or something. --- http://i.imgur.com/dpIEizf.gif |
This might be the best pic Ocarina of Time has ever gotten. http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/bge20/r7/65-4.jpg The other three don't do much for me. --- satoru iwata |
Yeah, I think that's my favorite OoT pic. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
wrt
the Kotaku article, nothing of quality has EVER come out of Kotaku. The
people working for that site are a bunch of moronic millenials that
likely wear fedoras and wolf/moon sweaters when they go to their anime
meetups. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Yeah, I'm not even a big OoT fan and I think that's an excellent pic. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
That's actually a really good OoT pic --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
xp1337 posted... Yeah, I think that's my favorite OoT pic. Sums up the 2/3 of the game! So good. Just need to run that one all day. --- satoru iwata |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Sorozone posted...I didn't forget. I said majority. Tumblr would obviously be #2 but I would like to know the distribution. I mean he'll never show them, but whatever. It's not only this, I strongly believe that League of Legends would have powerful Natural strength as well. Minimum top 10. No one actually cares about the LoL characters themselves but the game itself has a huge impact. Nothing would come even close to it's power if people rallied for it as hard as Undertale. |

I mean he'll never show them, but whatever. True, there's well over 120 heroes in that game. Right now, I dunno how gameguyz.com's rankings reflect the playerbase as a whole, I'm honestly unfamiliar with the game, but Vayne is the most played hero right now. Is she considered popular or is there another reason why she gets a lot of play. Lee Sin and Yasuo also seem to get a lot of play. (edited 12/14/2015 4:34:44 PM)report |
Sorozone posted... Nah. I mostly just time trial. I can't really get into 8 though. I didn't fully get into it, either. It was good, but they made it way too casual. Here's hoping that Nintendo's new system gets it right. I kind of doubt it, though. --- What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense. http://i.imgur.com/rSLadBM.png |

Everything else was small potatoes and I don't think there were any results changed due to rallies, aside from the already super close matches like Frog/Chief or Frog/Liquid. Planet Gamecube had to rally for Mario in 2002, and on top of that the match with Cloud happened on the day Sunshine came out. Both sides rallied like mad. They have always been there in high-profile matches, or close matches. You know how something comes back, then there's usually a stall right when the tie happens? That's a rally, albeit on a smaller scale. Leon my point is you can't just say something is fodder based on pre-rally numbers. Rallies are a part of something's strength. yoblazer banged this point home and it's worth repeating: contests are not won by math, and now more than ever before, every match is its own match. The first 17 hours of the Mass Effect 3 match isn't different from the last 7. I can see you hating them if your side barely wins though, I get it. Squall probably rallied to beat Luigi though, so hey! This isn't about embracing something new. It's always been there. Social media has just made it go to a whole new level. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
ZFS posted... This might be the best pic Ocarina of Time has ever gotten. It's not often people put my stuff over as the best, but thanks! --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
Squall had rallies to win over Luigi. You heard it here first. Holy crap. --- satoru iwata |
UltimaterializerX posted... Leon my point is you can't just say something is fodder based on pre-rally numbers. Sure I can. If that rally never materializes, that game gets crushed. I doubt Undertale ever gets rallied like this if we ever have another Games Contest, and it'll go back to being a middle of the road game, strength-wise. UltimaterializerX posted... Squall probably rallied to beat Luigi though, so hey! no need to bring baseless assumptions in here to try to justify rallying or act like everything can turn 50/50 into 60/40 Squall certainly could not do that --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
'It's freakin' Mario'? Nah, bro, it's freakin' rallies. --- satoru iwata |
ZFS posted... Squall had rallies to win over Luigi. You heard it here first. wow ffviii's redemption DESTROYED --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? (edited 12/14/2015 4:36:51 PM)report |
someone tell me where these people rallied and I'll rally them next time myself it's not like Squall proved he was stronger than Luigi in every contest after that or anything --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
You know I feel strangely sane when Ulti is one of the guys waving a flag against me and loudly proclaiming I'm crazy You guys sure you're on the right side here? --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
2003 was no Square boost. It was a big Square rally. --- satoru iwata |
ZFS posted... Squall had rallies to win over Luigi. You heard it here first. He was losing at the freeze bruh First time we had ever seen the freeze loser win! --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
Lopen posted... You know I feel strangely sane when Ulti is one of the guys waving a flag against me and loudly proclaiming I'm crazy Show me the proof Undertale cheated. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
the first time and the last time ever in contest history that's why Squall is the best --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Tumblr would obviously be #2 but I would like to know the distribution. I mean he'll never show them, but whatever. The thing is that the most played champions are also some of the ones that people hates the most. Lee Sin could maybe be the exception, but characters like Yasuo or Riven (She's my favourite character) are hated a lot, it would happen the same thing as with pokemon RBY where people would not vote it because they hate they certain character/game. |
ZFS posted... 2003 was no Square boost. It was a big Square rally. Spring 2004 was the spillover it all makes sense now --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
UltimaterializerX posted... He was losing at the freeze bruh Dude Dude Do you know where we are at --- satoru iwata |
It
really makes you wonder how this contest will be run within the next 10
years after whatever new social media sensation comes out. --- What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense. http://i.imgur.com/rSLadBM.png |
Show me proof CATS wasn't rallied against vs Cloud in 2003 CATS was ahead after 1 minute after all. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Like please run a Luigi vs Squall poll on the board And then take those results and amplify them times a million and throw in a few emos Because 2003 board 8 was not gentle to FF8 --- satoru iwata |
So you have no proof. Glad that's settled! --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
I already said I have no proof I have stronger evidence than "Bacon said there wasn't" though --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Remember
that Squall/Luigi was the match that led CJayC to put the Level 15 user
minimum requirement to post on Board 8 because there was so much
whining and so many suicides. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Undertale forgot that this contest is a game of golf. Whoops. --- Congrats to DpOblivion, blasting me into oblivion in Best. Game. Ever. 2015. |
Now where's your proof CATS wasn't the recipient of a brutal rally by Cloud in 2003 --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Everyone rallies, man. Cloud was the hot thing in 2003. You could just walk down the street and get people to vote for Cloud. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Ahri and Gangplank and Donger would be pretty strong LoL characters. Riven might be good too. --- Your signature is automatically appended to the bottom of every post you make. Your 'About Me' message is displayed on your profile page. You can include any in |

The Nintendo Shift in 2005 was just a big ol' counterrally --- satoru iwata |
My favorite rally was 2003 when I talked people into rallying KKK boards to help Wario against Shadow! --- Not_Wylvane |
