at the 4chan ralliers had registered accounts in proportion to (or greater than) normal site visitors. That's who was voting for L-Block over Auron and Squirtle over Cloud


It's very rare for rallied people to register just for it, so I'm not so sure about it.
At that time, there was infinite upsets and ridiculous results, so there might have been an "upset" bandwagon.
Back then, results were so weird Kirby was considered favored over Sephiroth and most people were surprised when Sephiroth actually won.

Back then , there was not easy sites to get rally from.
No Reddit, no Tumblr, no Twitter.
So rallies were rare and usually far smaller.

We can't know for sure but I think you are overestimating Cloud.
I don't think he is anywhere near Mario, and is probably near Sonic (or maybe even lower).

this "gamer girl", "themintycupcake" is a living, breathing example of why Trump won in 2016. She has brain damage. Liberal brain damage.

No logic, no stats, no research... just feelings. Her feelings are all that matter in the world. She probably has a #resist t-shirt from 2016/early 2017 and probably is part of #metoo.

It's reminding me of how angry people(including me) were here back in late 2015 when Undertale stormed the site. That instant gratification, me me me me culture. The meme era. Taking selfies every day. No concept of perspective.

Good find Zen.

And posts like this are why Undertale got rallied. This is exactly the type of post youd see in one of those Gamefaqs reactions to Undertale videos Ultimate posted earlier. And acting like this when a rally happens again is only going to strengthen it.


This was the exact same with Draven. I still remember Extha posts being quoted on reddit.

Wow a 1400 active users sub...how scary...
Reminder that LoL had at least 20k at any given time and Draven still almost lost to Link
Monika can pull a upset win or two but she won't run away with it


Yeah but Undertale's reddit is actually smaller than the Doki reddit (and also had around 1000 active users at the time of the rally).
What matters is if they can get the support of other communities.

I haven't listened to this episode yet, but I didn't recognize Ren as being the MC of Persona 5.
There will be a picture so this should mitigate the damage but it's still almost name sabotage.
Then again P5 is a recent game so it's not going like it would be that strong anyways.

I don't think any result involving "legitimate strength" can be impressive though , since by default it will always be mostly as expected.

It doesn't have to be rally, but there is usually once "external" factor that makes an unexpected result.
Whether it's rallying, SFF (Vivi > Mario > Ganon), pic sabotage (Phoenix > Vincent) , game release (Charizard > Bowser), being the last of a franchise or something else.

Undertale was never losing at this point but it made it looks like way easier than Draven ever did (against Snake or Link) or even L-Block (OoT only got a single 1 vote cut)

I might be wrong but I don't think Doki Doki is as threatening as LoL or Undertale were.
Casual players usually end up not being involved in rallies, and we have seen what happened to Minecraft or WoW despite their huge player counts

I fear that she might actually win...

Please don't do this.

Shes not going to win. This contest is happening months after DDLCs relevancy.


that subreddit is pretty rabid for their girl

like there's tons of posts there daily. like solid chunks of new content being churned out for several months straight

you're right that it's not at its peak but people are still REALLY into it


I didn't expect this, but the DDLC subreddit is actually larger than Undertale's in members.
Undertale is older but people almost never unsubscribe even if they don't go on a subreddit anymore and subreddit almost never really shrink so there is potentially some power there.
Then again, Undertale's true power was from Tumblr and Twitter, not Reddit, so I don't think that subreddit alone would be a sufficient basis.

I wonder if making the matches order random would prevent efficient organization of rallies.
You could even put random waiting time between matches so that you would never know when the new match would start.

Or if you wanna get ridiculous, matches cut in several 2-3 hours segments that keep getting switched each round until they have done their 24h but that would be really weird.

Best Year in Gaming was boring because no one cared about it.

Besides, at least the two games that benefited the most from rallies made sense - Undertale's popularity went viral at the time and Melee has a thriving tournament scene.


I feel like rallies are easy to explain in hindsight but we could find similar reasons for games that did not get rallied.
