Double votes, smubble votes


I can't remember if there was a rally that took place during the last character battle with the new voting system - or if it was obvious that a rally occurred. But I think Games are easier to rally behind than Characters, and a dedicated fanbase can make the double votes mute this time around with how abysmally low votals are. Picking out the game that will be rallied will require luck and balls, lucky balls, unless you're a person who is actively gathering up the troops as we speak, but I'll admit to enjoying the contest a bit more when the unforeseen happens.

This would include a smaller rally like r/hentai, so I will say yes.

Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket.

By successful do you mean winning the entire contest or just advancing past a game that it would be very hard or impossible to beat otherwise?

I don't see the first situation happening but I could see the second happening pretty easily.

Advancing past a game that it would be hard or impossible to beat otherwise, and then maybe more if it picks up steam. Doesnt have to win it all.

Did the last contest have any successful rallies at all? I remember a lot of the ones being hyped up just falling through.

Defining "successful" as Draven/Undertale and not like gaining a thousand votes and winning a single match I think the chances are less than 50%.

Didnt the witcher devs say they will rally for witcher? If so its easily making finals. Probably goes to 50/50 with botw too until it loses steam and gets beat

Yeah but we're all expecting Witcher 3 to do well without a rally. I'd call it a successful one if it beats BotW.

At this point, I'm not sure GameFAQs matters enough for anyone to bother with a rally.

Nobody cares anymore. Much less for a contest encompassing a pretty weak decade for gaming.

The most likely rally will be Cuphead marching through GTAV and RDR.

I don't think it is likely.

We've talked a bit how everyone going into lockdown/isolation might affect votals, but it could increase the likelihood of a rally, with people spending more time in online gaming communities making them more likely to participate in a rally.

Cuphead doesn't really have the kind and size of fanbase that would go out of their way to rally for it on this kind of website.

If I were betting on an indie game getting rallied I'd put money on Hollow Knight or Undertale again.

If I were putting money on a AAA game then definitely Witcher 3. But I have Witcher reaching finals anyway so it doesn't matter much to me.
