Undertale overcame a bigger lead after starting it's rally around 16h in so if you think DDLC can do the same as Undertale, yes.

Practically, I don't think so because DDLC has been trying to rally since hour 0 while Undertale didn't.
i've given up hope

the DDLC fanbase is just kinda in their own corner circlejerkin' it to fanart instead of actually organizing to do something outside the communities

which is good for us i guess. i wish all fandoms were like that.

You know, I find the contest a little less interesting without knowing what place my bracket is in and how many people have what score.
Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness.
I never understood this Monica issue, it seems just like every other obscure Board 8 circlejerk character. Board 8 lives in its own little echo chamber and seems oblivious to gaming trends outside of it.

Just means that all the people banking on a rally are completely out of the running now. My Wario to Round 3 pick looking real nice.

Millions of people have played her game and it's only existed for like a year. If you're not aware of this one actually being popular, you're the one in the echo chamber here.

I have Wario to Round 3 too! These rallies don't always pan out and she was never even going to get close to him unless a massive rally went off - and if she could do that, it's weird to not have her just win the contest outright. Screw banking your entire bracket on that though.

But I wouldn't even say it's too late for her to make a comeback given Undertale's precedent.

I don't think she can make a comeback, simply because she has been rallying from the start;
When Undertale started it's rally, we instantly knew it, it was making huge cuts every update.
It's possible the rally could suddenly catch fire, but I don't see why it would now rather than 10 hours ago.

Meh. I only had her going to Round 3. Same with the other "rally" characters.

Watch Cayde-6 be the one to win.

TIGER! The nostaglia, good lord.

I'm glad to see Master Hand and Wario advance, but I must say MH/Wario is one of the most whatever-matches I can think of.

Bracket says Wario > MH and I'm feeling okay about it. Just gotta see if Smash-hype really puts a hand of the scales, so to speak.

I mentioned this last night, but wasn’t Hearthstone the assumed rally target in 2015 and flopped? There still could be a rally, it’ll just be from someone we don’t expect.

Or D. Va.
Still hoping.

Congratulation to DpOblivion for winning Tumblr's BGE 3 guru contest
I'm willing to accept that Draven might've been legit, but something definitely seemed weird about Undertale. Didn't only like half a million people buy the game at that point? And yet it was pushing out consistent 700-800 vote updates against Melee for awhile. So something like 20% of the people who even bought Undertale not only saw the rallies but voted for Undertale over Melee/RBY/etc.?
Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality.
You don't have to play or even particularly like Undertale to vote for it.
Against Mass Effect 3 definitely, but it's hard to believe that RBY, Melee, and Ocarina would get voted against in masse just because some stranger requested that they do so.

I consider myself a fan of Destiny and I don't give a s*** about Cayde-6. In fact, I was glad they wrote the character out of the game. 2B is going to dominate that match, en route to being one of the strongest characters to come out of last year.

That was just the Steam sales, and that number climbed to over a million during the contest IIRC. The key thing is that that was all in a very short period of time. The Undertale hype was real.

The site going down for Draven vs. Link however, no way was that legit.

Anyway, the only character who has the zeitgeist the way Draven and Undertale did is Waluigi. WAAAAAAAAH
I just decided to change this sig.
