Witcher has an ace up its sleeve. IT won't show it until the Final though...
Rallying isnt an ace up a sleeve, its closer to a sad cry for help.
Either all rallies are bad or all of them are allowed, its pretty weird to see people criticize the undertale and draven rallies but then be fine when a game they like does it instead.
Im assuming the ace you're referring to is rally potential, because if not, its not even going to break 35 against zelda.

I think it breaks 35 withotu rallies

and no i don't want rallies. But if witcher gets rallied it will be rallied by people who played and love Witcher 3. Not a bunch of Tumblr pornstars who have never played it in their life

To this, I will respond with Yoblazer's words, which I fully agree with: "How as a community can we not realize that the degree of something is what matters?"

The key difference is that minor/midsized rallies that don't completely disenfranchise normal GameFAQs voters actually make matches more interesting overall, whereas Melee and Undertale predictably mowing over everything in their path made 2015 infinitely less interesting.

Also, there is no possible way The Witcher 3 (or whatever makes the finals in its stead) fails to break 35% on Breath of the Wild, and heck, I'm still expecting it to reach 40% even without a major rally.

btw i think R/Nintendo requires a mod to approve before new topics are published

so this means they're ok with rallies.

however that subreddit is way too large for a rally to get traction.

Rallying for Nintendo games in these contests should be a crime

They already get massive homefield advantage as it is

I mean, if your bracket potentially needs a Witcher rally, you'd be best off not risking pulling a Bloodborne and getting rallies banned when you don't need them.

Anonymous Vote Result:

Fire Emblem: Three Houses - 3412 (40.25%)

Very huge split for Grand Theft Auto V, doing nearly 6% better with registered users. It's possible the huge split could have been caused by rallies for P4G, but the percentage of registered users in both of yesterday's match makes unlikely that the rallies contributed more than 200 extra votes.

Xenoblade/Fire Emblem is far less interesting, with a difference of under 0.20% in a match where both games normally do well with registered users.

Pretty much, but history has shown that every subreddit eventually gets sick of the drama and bans them. Undertale and Draven got lucky it didn't happen until after the final round. Bloodborne, not so much. Invoke those cards when they aren't needed, and it could backfire.

I think it's more fun if people need to guess if a rally will catch fight or not for their Second Chance bracket and kicking off a super rally now will spoil that (and ruin my upset special).

I feel like people are underestimating Spider-Man. It's one of the strongest PS4 exclusives out there.

By the way, this match really exposed Witcher. Not as a fraud or anything, but as still being a vulnerable entity against stronger games.

I wouldn't even rule out Skyrim yet!

What if Skyrim scores the same % on MK8?

also this is the ONLY Nintendo game Witcher faces until BOTW. Unless pokemon upsets Skyrim
