Wow, unbelievable to see the underdog taking out OoT like this!

I'm not sure this can last though - Undertale only has so much left in the tank before it will be overcome by the LAW.


Undertale wasn't the underdog
There was a very brief point in time where I saw Zelda getting tripled, though. Just seeing 'Ocarina of Time 25%' was the biggest gut punch of the entire contest.

Oh, yeah, it was getting obliterated in the opening minute. I posted the poll results when I voted and OoT was at 21.39%.

All right, OoT. You win. I give up. I could force myself to stay up a bit longer, but I've lost the will to.

failed to get even a single cut in seven hours. the entire dead zone and nothing.

OoT almost surely gets cuts later, but probably with rally support, so I'm denied even the smallest victory of unrallied OoT scoring a single isolated cut against this.

truly the darkest timeline

time to sleep

comedy option: OoT cuts next update

Why would anyone rally OOT? this match was over the second the first Pokemon fan said "I don't like gen 1"

This was over the second someone told tumblr, "Hey, Undertale is up in a Best Game tournament on GameFAQs! You guys should vote for it!"

Heck, Melee would have probably been the favorite at this point.
Yeah I was thinking about that. If Melee had beat Undertale it would have won the tournament. Or Pokemon R/B/Y for that matter. Sure OOT is the strongest game but you can't rally for it. Same with CT, same with FF 7. You can't really rally for them.

Eh, you might have been able to for FF7. I wonder if the announcement that the remake was going to be episodic hurt it's chances.

Well, the thing about a game like OoT is that you can effectively rally for it just by advertising the contest. That's not enough here, but it got close with Draven.

I definitely agree that anything rallied to this point would win. This is why I'm not never going to buy all this, "But rallies make it more fun and unpredictable!" talk.

No, they're literally the most predictable thing that can happen, and once it gets to a certain size, it doesn't even matter what's being rallied for and what it's being rallied against.

If you could rally it, Superman 64 would have won this contest.
Just woke up, did a double take when I saw the results.

My guess is the match against melee caused the rally to grow by huge amounts? And I guess the final is naturally more ralliable.

But you can't rally it effectively, that's part of the problem. You need to find the most immature, moronic and loyal fanbase that thinks their garbage game is better than any other. That's what happened with Draven, and its what happened with Undertale.

Well, I was right. When Undertale's comeback hit it's full stride against Mass Effect 3, I said:

"If Undertale finishes this comeback and beats Mass Effect 3, it's winning the whole contest. Nothing will be able to stop it."

People tried to argue that Fallout 3 would beat it. Then argued that Pokemon would beat it. Then argued that Melee would beat it. Then a few even thought OOT could pull it off. Silly people. Nothing else had a chance. My only regret is that I didn't figure out Undertale was the indestructible joke entry BEFORE the contest started. Ah well.

Yes, and the Melee fandom largely turned against OOT due to Toph shilling for Undertale in the Melee Stream and even this site being against OOT winning.

Somewhere, Mario 64 is looking at these results and laughing. Who's the N64 king now? So long-ay, Link.

Even if the biggest zelda pages did post about the contest (wasnt zelda dungeon facebook page going to or something?) the mosf that would do is maybe getting OOT to a "respectable" 45% while Mario still laughs.
Just for laughs, what is Ocarina projected to get on Metroid Prime?

Heck what is Super Metroid projected to get on Metroid Prime?

Vote totals on today's match are starting to catch up to the Melee/Undertale match. At this time of the day in the Melee match, we still weren't getting above 400 votes per update on a consistent basis yet, while today's match is already getting above 500 votes per update.

You might be able to do so for Superman 64 with immature and moronic people. Lots of people like to troll for the lulz after all. Heck, we might even be able to decide our presidency in 2016 this way, but I don't want to get much further in political discussion.
Woah Zelda might break 40% mark soon
Not that it's getting any cuts, now or ever

But 4x% reads better than 3x% right?

Why is this happening? We know that Melee vs Undertale was so high because it was rally vs rally, but why are we getting even more today?

The Undertale rally ramped the f*** up. I'm guessing they thought OoT was going to actually put up a fight and prepared accordingly. Notably, OoT still has a ton of votes despite no identified rally sources, so I believe we're seeing actual backfire.
---

It's a bit surprising that today's match seems to have a much more normal vote distribution per hour, considering the much higher vote totals. Based on a normal match, we should be getting our highest hourly vote totals (outside of the first 3 hours) between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM before slowly declining for the rest of the day.

No one will remember that Zelda lost

Even if they remember that Undertale won, it won't stop the fact that it sure feels like Zelda always wins!


5 years later

"Undertale always wins!!!" As Sans wins the next 2 Character contests through super rallies.

Then we allow League into the tournament only so that it can challenge it's reign onto a 500k insane rallyfest that ends in Riot Games announcing the poll during the World Championship 10 minutes before it all ends for a ridiculous 5,000 vote swing that causes such an uproar to the likes we've never seen before.
I did get Zelda Universe to make a post (500k fb likes) but he just posted a text link which isn't eyegrabbing at all. Still, I think it is helping a bit. And I asked him to post a screenshot of the poll later today, we'll see if he does that.

I was in touch with Zelda dungeon last night so I will message them in jjh's stead.

At the very least I can make oot look respectable!

At this point it feels like I'm rubbing the current state of the poll in people's faces but...

Almost 16000 lead? Well I didn't doubt Undertale would be winning but I never thought it'd be for this much.

I'm in disbelief and happy at the same time.
I'm trying to time some big posts later so hopefully Zelda can at least make some cuts. I'll be honest I didn't expect zero cuts to this point. Congrats to the undertale people they just really want it.
