Hearing that thing on the Bombcast about how Crash 1 is the highest grossing PS1 game of all time, combined with the HD release's insane sales, makes me question just how weak Crash actually is.


Yeah, that's what I'm wondering too. We don't have a good read on Crash in 2013 since Kirby likely SFFed him.

Vivi even making this close speaks volumes.

FF9 getting a remaster has helped

Ff7 and 9 will be on switch next year. Vivi will be even stronger hopefully as will the ff7 characters.

If there was a match where all of the late match rallying had any effect on the final registered/anonymous vote split, it has to be Luigi/Tails. I still would have expected Luigi to perform better with the registered users, but he did almost 4% better with registered users here. I could go back and figure out the registered/anonymous vote splits based on an earlier part of the match before the rallying seemed to kick in and get some idea as to who was favored by the outside rallies.

Tifa/MMX was very close between the registered and anonymous users, much closer than I was expecting. MMX barely wins the registered user vote and only performs about 0.5% better with registered users. There might have been a good amount of rallying on both sides as to cancel each other out in the anonymous vote results.

Sephiroth did less than 1% better with anonymous users, which is less than I would have expected. Maybe the rallies actually hurt Sephiroth.

In the spreadsheet that provides extra info, our overall percentage of votes from registered users dropped to just barely under 45%, so the rallies clearly had an effect on reducing the overall percentage of registered user votes. It's also the first time we surpassed 10000 registered user votes in this contest.

The purpose of a rally is to influence a match against its natural course. Ceiling or not, it affected the outcome. That’s the issue.
It’s funny how everyone focuses on the Tifa hentai rallies that got no upvotes or views and not the fairly successful MMX rally or exthas actual tifa rally

Tifa didn't go from losing to Chie to hanging 66% on X... in a three way poll. Draven also got 50000 votes which is more than yesterday's entire match

If you think it's even close to the same thing you lack a brain

I plead ignorance as I do not know about this. I am not sure if any of us know for sure how many votes came from rallies. All I think is that there was a sick hentai rally that garnered hundreds of votes which changed the outcome.

Those hentai rallies didn’t have a single upvote between the five of them at the time of the match. At best they collectively would get the match like... 50 views. Tops.

We have on record the MMX rally getting 1.9k views and I think Extha said his tifa one got like 1k

I just checked. The top hentai posts have 200-250 upvotes rn, so at the very least there's spillover effect into the current match.

I really don't mind ExTha reaching out to some personal friends to vote (not the same as forum-spamming), but he went on to do exactly what he recently jumped on Ulti for doing and rallied on reddit. That both breaks his principle and does the action I less prefer with rallying.

I voted Tifa > MMX and don't mind her hurting my bracket. The way she won is worth a laugh too. It's just disappointment in ExTha backtracking on how he feels about rallies.

I already apologized for ripping Ulti apart. And at the time, it looked like Ulti's rally thread was going to have a massive effect on the match. It ended up not being that way, but I was really afraid they were going to overrun us like before. Rallyfear, if you like.

I really didn't expect the hentai rally to do much at all since you had to look in the comments section to find a link to vote in the match. The rally was an image post that featured Tifa showing off her boobs.
