Oh man, with Yacht Club's tweet just being an hour old by the time the next match starts, that is gonna help Cuphead.

Prepare for an even crazier first five minutes in that match. Cuphead's taking it home.

Man I am not prepared for the next set of matches. They could all be over in 5 minutes but they could really go either way other that Fire Emblem.

I am extremely stressed out as someone who took GTA way further than I should have. At least give me another round to regret my pick.

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 fuck this" mode.

Not enough to start a rally myself, but yeah.

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)

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!

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.

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.

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 have no stake in this match but B8 needs to own its hypocrisy sometimes. Everyone is okay with something if it ends up with their favored entrant winning

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

Was it not trending upward for the last few hours, despite the Octopath rally, only for it to go down again when the rally got a second life?

Or are we watching a different match?

No. Because of how Reddit works, this match is likely over unless my topic gets a flair, a pin, or an award.

Very glad I left and missed everyone arguing against one random guy about what we should and shouldn't value in contests, because clearly that's not our own decision to make.

Anyway, is Shovel Knight making a comeback or has it just been this close for the last hour or so?

This or all rallies good are the only positions Ill accept.

And I will never forget a mod on this site claiming its victim blaming to like rallies, and then in the same topic claiming those who disagree are mentally ill.

Oh sorry, the actually sane agree with the position of not liking them. Same difference. If you want a perfect example of why no one cares about this site and especially its message boards anymore, that is it.

If I had to choose a side I'd very easily be on the "no rallies" side, though, regardless of favorable result or not.

I'll be the first to admit to being a hypocrite and I see no issue with that, really.

I want to do well and if something allows me to do better, I am not against it. (I don't particularly like it but it's fine)

If something hinders my ability to do well then obviously I am not going to be happy about it.

With that being said, Shovel Knight isn't falling too behind despite 100+ votes getting pumped into Octopath. Eventually that'll die out and then we've just got to hope there are enough US voters left.
