Remember when 2016 was going to win the BYG because Overwatch voters were going to rally for the year that Overwatch came out?

I mean the size and activity of subreddits are a stat too, are they not? The sales of a game? The mentions of a character on said subreddit, or on twitter or tumblr? The number of forums a game/character has dedicated to it (allowing you to try and judge how centralized and thus how easily mobilized said fanbase is)? All these are factors that can help to predict a potential rally, and it's all just interpretation of stats - just different stats to what you're used to. X-Stats may not have the utility they used to have but that doesn't mean rallies have made stats worthless. It just might be that the way we statistically analyze and predict contests needs to adapt. the difference is that you can afford to be wrong at times in a regular contest if you're wrong about a rally you're boned --- ...

Rallies scale to the power of their opponents so matches can end close when they aren't. Mario 64 and SSBM got roughly the same final percentage against Undertale. SSBM rallied liked crazy. Mario 64 just threw up a white flag at the start of the match.

Rallies suck
One idea I brought up on The Show in BGE to at least alleviate a bit the issue of brackets being completely screwed was to change the scoring structure. As it stands now with matches being worth 2^r points in round r you could do very well with an otherwise terrible bracket if you called the rally correctly. If you switched to something, like, say, Fibonacci numbers (~1.61^r) calling the winner would sill be important, but it wouldnt overwhelm everything else to the same extent. --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! ...

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6175-best-game-ever-day-39-semifinal-smash-bros-melee-vs Rallies scale to the strength of their opponent. Those matches are 2 days apart. If Draven only got 54000 votes that's because Link was only capable of getting 53000. Only when a rally loses can you say it really reached its limit. We know for a fact that Draven was not capped out in that battle because he didn't get a sticky for that battle like he did against Snake. People like to claim that Link could have won if it wasn't for the downtime but the reality was Draven wasn't even trying. --- This was not the best year for my bracket.
