Board 8 > Did research to see if subreddits allow rally topics for some newer characters

(+) Yeah! (+)

You know, theres nothing stopping you from trying to rally from r/Pokmon or r/smashbros or literally anything else.

Theres no reason only newcomer underdogs can get a rally force- see: Chrono Trigger and Melee
---

Also you should also probably ask r/bowsette

Oh man I forgot about this. Will do
---

Im really not sure if Bowsette will even be a factor here. Nearly all of the appeal there is the boobs/porn and Bowser wont have any of that in any of his match pics

Oh wait it looks like /r/bowsette only allows pictures, (non-repost) fanart only too

Highly doubt it can be rallied through there
---

lmfao imagine thinking we wanted any of the reddit filth to stick around.
---

we managed to keep a couple decent users from the undertale dross though so that was good.

Also this is good investigative skills Ange.

It doesn't give us a great idea about what the fanbase at large will do during the matches, but the enthusiasm from the Undertale mod makes me think they'll rally again.

No we didn't. Crazygamer is one, I guess

Bowsercuffs stuck around for a while.

my sense of self worth isn't tied to my ability to predict contest matches on a dying message board

It is and you need to e m b r a c e

I would say there's /r/AnimalCrossing/ and /r/ACPocketCamp/ for Isabelle, but both subs are kinda small, and it's already a tall order to be up against X.

/r/Castlevania is a pretty dead sub, so they're not helping Simon or Richter at all.
---

Yes I specifically didnt look at ones that were basically lost causes

i mean i feel like it's kind of a "you" problem at this point if you have a problem with rallies. they are the new reality

Yes, let's embrace it....

Will the Smash community back Master Hand?
---

But how will this affect SMFFFFFFFFFFC?
---

So everyone's up for it except Undertale pretty much? Very interesting... Good reporting Ange!


---

Ange really wants this to be a reddit contest over a gamefaqs contest huh.

Why not try to contact prominent LPers, Tumblrs, indie devs etc.

If you want rallies only might as well seek out the entire internet, not just reddit.
---

This is the kind of journalism I like to see around here. Having learned all this, I'm going to rein back my expectations for Sans.
---

Look at all these folks making angesumptions about me lol
---

I'm gonna have to do some heavy thinking about Sans and D.Va

Those are the only two I give a realistic shot to.

I'm really happy with my picks otherwise but those two could blow everything to hell and ruin me.
---

Let me help you on both.

When has a blizzard character ever been rallied?

You're welcome, little bro.
---

Has anyone checked r/nintendo for Waluigi? Or the meme subreddits, like r/me_irl
---

Check Giantbomb forums for Waluigi I suppose.

This board does not hate rallies. Plenty of us love it.

He means true board 8ers and not reddit sell outs like you, who gave up your User of the Year title to cheer for Undertale.

Shame.

your reality is not a good song

i do not care if that is the point

Blizzard games have never really been about the characters...until Overwatch. The characters are what make the game what it is. I think it'll be different this time around.
---

Plus none of Blizzard's previous characters are as.... eye-catching as D.Va is.

There's also a ready made catch phrase for people to come in and shout if she's doing well.

BTW last time they pinned a post at the top reddit saying to create rally posts for the contest.
---

Time for us to rally every single character in the bracket
---

Honestly I never saw rallies as the problem.

It's the dickhead trolls that shit up the board because "lol salt". It's not too much to ask to expect a fourm you frequently visit to not become unbearable because a bunch of bored people decided to intentionally try to annoy you.

thanks Ange

They are. It's like still being mad about Trump 2 years later now in 2018. Embrace the new reality.

Losers stay stuck in the past.

Yeah I can accept this modification

Rallies get slightly annoying but to be honest the state of the board as a result of it is the biggest problem. I find it kinda hard to separate the two. Although I don't remember it being quite so bad during L-Block...maybe because L-Block is a more inclusive joke, more people were in on it, thus less enmity.

I'd say in 2015 the worst thing was the obvious false flag accounts that were made to make us look even worse, which incited even more random pricks. Like the regulars were far from perfect but there were these new accounts posting the most ridiculous, beyond-parody stuff about Allen, consistently. And then you have someone like InsaneGamer who will never stop showing up.

I just noticed that the D.Va match will take place during Blizzcon, that might have an effect I think?

Edit: Also just 'cause it's relevant to the overall topic, I asked the Kingdom Hearts subreddit mods if rallies are allowed. Haven't got a response yet.

Screw rallies imo

It's like if you were a big fan of college football and a team just brought in a bunch of NFL players and you didn't even know until the game started. It wouldn't be fun to watch

It's a not a perfect analogy buy yeah
---

Bring on more people
---

Someone at r/DDLC did noticed about the contest, at least:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DDLC/comments/9ml99o/fyi_gamefaqs_character_battle_is_coming_up_again
---

The question is whether or not people will bother to upvote the post enough before it gets buried by all the usual memes.

This just gave me visceral flashbacks to how insufferable the Draven folks were. Undertale brought in some miserable people too (and I say this as someone who was very happy with the end result), but the Draven rally seemed to solely bring in the most obnoxious taint-lickers on the Internet.

I enjoy rallies when they're being conducted in (at least mostly) good faith though. I enjoyed the Undertale contest overall and loved rallies like Missingno. and L-Block.
---

Looking at the google trends, I'm not too worried about rallies this year. At least not from the likes of Sans and Monika.

It's already been mentioned that total subs doesn't mean much compared to active users. I'm subscribed to that sub and I probably check on it like once a month if even that.

Though I am a little surprised that Undertale has less total subs.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Undertale/

I thought it would have been a lot bigger when you compare the primes of both games...but I guess that's the power of waifus.

One is also free, One is also not free

One also requires much less user input/gameplay

Undertale was mostly tumblr

Update from /r/shovelknight

Yeah that's fine with me. It's a pretty small sub here, so you're pretty much good to do whatever!

Allen also said his wife hacked his account to make Draven win

Everything he says is 100% full of BS
