f***
rallies, but it would absolutely be worth it if Witcher beats BotW,
based solely on what a bulls*** weapon durability simulator BotW is "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |

Hbthebattle posted... I mean It's quite hillarious. Smash likely loses to BotW and then Link will only have lost to Link. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
KamikazePotato posted... Shovel Knight probably wins if no rallies are involved but calling it a sure thing is just revisionist history to suit your needs. Rally bad when I don't like it, rally good when I like it I am very rarely on the winning side of a rally and I've played neither of these games I'd rather there have been no rallying at all but you can't unring the bell as they say so I might as well get points out of it |
also that rally apparently lasted 10 minutes |

Rally bad when I don't like it, rally good when I like it LOL would you like me to go back 5 pages where I was literally the first person to say, "I'll be the first to admit I'm a hypocrite", and then immediately followed it up with "If I had a choice I would want zero rallies at all, but if a result goes my way I can't hate it" What else would you like from me The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |

Rally bad when I don't like it, rally good when I like it People are called out for being hypocritical about rallies more often than they should. People are basically just explaining what they thought think would've happened and no degree of certainty in that says anything about what people think of the rallies. Sometimes it's another complaint is needed everytime one comments on the match to not hear this.

KamikazePotato posted... Can't wait for all the people who complained about rallies to be okay with this You could win me over on companies getting more involved in rallying for matches if most of them did. I feel like newer companies are more likely to take the lead on a movement like this than Nintendo and Square. As is though...it's wacky-fun hype but also now may cost us the nail-biter finish we were looking likely to have. Mixed feelings.

Leon
has been consistent for years and years about hating all rallies. He is
not a hypocrite on this. I can vouch for it, because he and I argue
about it every time there's a match like this! But other people on Board 8? 100% double standards all the way. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
I
mean, it's only 11 RTs and 38 Likes at this point, so it's not monster
numbers. It's just that with the two games trading single digit leads,
it didn't need much to put this out of reach for Octopath in the final
hour. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
also Minecraft has cut Spider-Man on every update since the tweet darn you Shovel Knight rally voters |

Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
 Yes, beat Odyssey too and win the division! |
LeonhartFour posted... also that rally apparently lasted 10 minutes Yeah as I said, that account gets very few engagements. I'm not Twitter expert but it is my social media of choice, and follower count doesn't really matter if people aren't actively engaging your tweet with likes/replies. The odds of those 100k followers, or even a fraction of them, being present on a given day is low, but if your tweet goes viral suddenly you've got thousands of active engaged eyes on you.

HaRRicH posted... You could win me over on companies getting more involved in rallying for matches if most of them did.I'll hold you to this when CD Project Red nukes our entire contest with a tweet. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
It wouldn't have even been a nailbiter if not for the bulls*** Octopath rally "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
HaRRicH posted... You could win me over on companies getting more involved in rallying for matches if most of them did. I feel like newer companies are more likely to take the lead on a movement like this than Nintendo and Square.This is a fantastic hypothetical, actually. What if rallies were almost all the company themselves doing it? Would people be okay with it then? I think even Leon himself thought David Hayter tweeting to rally for Solid Snake was hilarious, and frankly if anyone thought that was a problem I will fight them.

Calm the f*** down lol. Odyssey will murder it |
Did I miss a major Octopath rally besides the reddit one, btw? .-#Elements of Water#-. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... It wouldn't have even been a nailbiter if not for the bulls*** Octopath rally On whwt f***ing site is octopath getting rallied? Gamefaqs is the only site that would even rally for something like Octopath. |
KamikazePotato posted... Yeah not gonna lie I skipped that entire 100+ post 'debate' about rallies and my life was enriched for doing so. Seems odd to talk with conviction when you lack all the facts, then. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
ctesjbuvf posted... It's quite hillarious. Smash likely loses to BotW and then Link will only have lost to Link. This was almost true in the last GotD as well. Only Soul Calibur 2 let Team Link down. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
UltimaterializerX posted...
The David Hayter tweet was seriously the best part of the contest, especially since it worked so well that the LoL people got so freaked out they might lose that they lied to get the rally pinned to the top of the page. but yeah if people actually involved with the game want to tweet or whatever, I think that's less objectionable than one of us doing it because we want bracket points |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... f*** rallies, but it would absolutely be worth it if Witcher beats BotW, based solely on what a bulls*** weapon durability simulator BotW is Witcher and BOTW fall in to the same Catagory for me Either one is worth of GOTD At least it won't be some s***e like Fortnite or undertale. |
I
need the CDProjekt rally call to start in the semi-finals though so my
Witcher > Skyrim pick holds. After that the hope is that with most
people on Zelda it won't even make a difference if it loses. Also The Witcher 3 is the GotD so it fits. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
Dark_Koopatrol posted...
...umm. *swallows nervously* It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
KamikazePotato posted... I'll hold you to this when CD Project Red nukes our entire contest with a tweet. "And now...a Nintendo Direct rally." O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png |

We have found common ground! Bro love. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
yes Hayter was awesome "Wtf is Draven? sounds like a Dragon Queen" lmao Anti Rallies are good. Rallies in general. Not so much |
I hold conviction in rolling my eyes at someone posting that 'justice is served' because a rally went their way, yes You admitting you were a hypocrite several pages ago is immaterial (also it was a message about a bunch of people on B8, not just you) Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
It's
also as if it's not cool to like some middle ground of rallying, which
is probably where I stand myself. I'm not entirely against small reddit
rallies against each other, but I had no fun in Draven or Undertale. I'd
like for most matches to be fair, which means no outside rallies or the
impossible even rallies, but when they're there there's nothing to be
done about it, might as well enjoy the match as best as I can and cheer
for my favorite game. That's not hypocritical! That's just having a
positive attitude. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
HaRRicH posted... "And now...a Nintendo Direct rally."You assume that Nintendo knows how online voting works. It has the word 'online' in it so I'm skeptical. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Didn't Jennifer Hale also tweet in support of Snake, despite her voicing Samus who was also in the match? That's the comedy you can't write. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. (edited 4/14/2020 4:14:07 PM) |
_SecretSquirrel posted... Didn't Jennifer Hale also tweet in support of Snake, despite her voice Samus who was also in the match? She did because Samus was clearly a lost cause. |
davidponte posted... I need the CDProjekt rally call to start in the semi-finals though so my Witcher > Skyrim pick holds. After that the hope is that with most people on Zelda it won't even make a difference if it loses. I'd say if the rallies start they need to start on a game that could be competitive but Witcher uses to scare everyone else in the comp Mario Galaxy comes to mind. Witcher has no problem beating SMG2 without rallies. But its probably a 60-40 or something around that Witcher needs to triple it to put fear into other games. |
KamikazePotato posted... I hold conviction in rolling my eyes at someone posting that 'justice is served' because a rally went their way, yes I get it, no harm intended, KP. I was absolutely joking around with the justice is served thing, but tone never conveys right through text! I can't speak for the rest of everyone here but when I saw that message in a reply to my own, my first thought was, "but wait I literally addressed this", so yeah! The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
KamikazePotato posted... I hold conviction in rolling my eyes at someone posting that 'justice is served' because a rally went their way, yes I believe in what Yuri says. Anti-rallies are good. Let's just hope this doesn't happen next round with Mario. Or ever again, for that matter. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |

That's not hypocritical! That's just having a positive attitude. The 4chan Vivi>Mario rally was easily one of the worst 4Chan is a f***ing cancer of a site. |
Lead is up to 100. I would love two full power behemoths going at it again. Undertale vs Melee was so good. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
And for the record I am also a hypocrite. Rallies exist to serve my will and anything else is wrong Although at the moment I'm just annoyed we lost a photo finish. When's the last time we had a match go to time? Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Advokaiser posted... I believe in what Yuri says. Shovel knight can have all the rallies in the world. It's no hope of Beating Mario. |
Advokaiser posted...
Sorry, which is the anti-rally here? The first rally was for SK. All these rallies are s***, really. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
KamikazePotato posted... And for the record I am also a hypocrite. Rallies exist to serve my will and anything else is wrong Mega Man/Charizard/Zero? I'm not sure anything in 2015 or 2018 did. |
This was a good match despite the fact that I had Undertale winning this match so I didn't care who actually won |
LeonhartFour posted... I mean it'll be nice to go 4/4 today |
Mac Arrowny posted... Sorry, which is the anti-rally here? The first rally was for SK.People conveniently forget attempted rallies if they don't even up winning the day. See: MMX/Tifa Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 4/14/2020 4:18:34 PM) |
I
think this match would have been better if we had continued with the
died off rallies that we had over the last little while. Once Octopath
got that second surge I was definitely in, "well f*** this" mode. Not enough to start a rally myself, but yeah. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
By the way, I didn't even know David Hayter rallied for Snake on 2013! I thought that happened on a contest prior! How was I not aware of that? It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
Play Meteos. The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. |
