Yeah that sucks, why the bias? i mean most of them are western people.

This site was built on the foundation of RPG and Zelda walkthroughs.

That culture just doesn't disappear. Especially since new blood doesn't come here anymore.

I believe this is the first time I have been on any leaderboard in the 10 years I have been taking part!

Got to 49s which put me into the 30s on the leaderboard. Woohoo!

Congrats dude!

So if Persona put up enough of a fight to essentially stall Witcher, I wonder if those rallies might have benefited Dark Souls over Skyrim.

We could see some interesting stuff with these cross rallies.

I really wish these would've gotten their own day. Even if it meant having two days of Zelda and Smash crushing. It's sad we have such a long break only to rush through the rest.

So quick question, those first 500 votes are called board vote?

yep, the people dedicated to the contests enough to vote away are typically very pro Nintendo and anti AAA Western games
To clarify, the board vote is the first five minutes of the match -- however many votes that is may be 500 or otherwise.

I just didn't know which users Witcher 3 got the pics from, and I'd never guess Sk for Skyrim shorthand.

this might be the fastest a rally has gotten any traction so far, 4 comments in 20 minutes is really good, p5 rallies definitely getting that snowball effect

The optics suggest that Persona rallies are helping Dark Souls more than Persona itself.

Which is both a testament toward Witcher and an indictment toward Bethesda. It's also hilarious af.

I don't think we can deny it at this point.

Also, this gives Skyrim a puncher's chance, because we really don't know where it belongs on that heirarchy, and I don't think we saw it against anything Western of note.

Yeah, "sk" for Skyrim is something I would never have considered, but I totally considered "w3" as a very real possibility for Witcher. It just happened that both of Witcher's pics came from first time submitters in this contest.

Dark Souls has really strong early trends after a bad board vote, so this is in line with what should have happened. Not that trends have been at all stable so far.

After 3 contests asking him, we finally got Allen to reduce Round 3 to two matches a day, now I guess it will take a few more to reduce the later rounds, too.

So I'm going to take this moment to shill the contest prowess of two of my all-time favorite - Xenoblade and Dark Souls.

Xenoblade went from losing to Donkey Kong Country 2 in 2015 to winning its own division. People are already impressed by that, but I think it's also being understated how incredibly well it held up against Ultimate. Nintendo SFF can be brutal, and even if we roll with the notion that it holds up better than 'traditional' Nintendo properties it still outperformed A Link Between Worlds by 6% and only underperformed Mario Odyssey by 4%. That's damn good, and overall it's come a long way.

Dark Souls has come an even longer way. Make no mistake - it gets rolled by Skyrim in 2015. 60-40d at least. Keeping pace with even a weakened Skyrim is impressive as hell and shows how much people's respect of the series has grown over the years.

I love Xenoblade and feel mostly the same, but I really can't see it not having a few percentages extra due to bandwagoning there.
