It was Undertale's fault that Samus lost to Mario in 2005.

IF you can't understadn that concept then i'm surprised. ITs liek you're saying franchise strength matters little. Which isn't the case

You have 0 evidence or even thoeries on why T7 might be stronger. I've listed many. So You've got no leg to stand on.


I've literally never said Tekken 7 was stronger. I just said I could see a modern Mortal Kombat game being worthless because MK's series strength comes from the '90s.

The only good thing that came from Undertale and Melee back in 2015 was the absurdly nuts match they had in the semis.

Otherwise, if you were not okay with one rallied game, you can't be okay with the other one being rallied as well.

Dammit. Why do I keep giving DK a chance in these contests.

I mean, it should've won this won seeing as Mario's right there next to it. Cmon, NintendoFAQS.

It was Undertale's fault that Link lost to Cloud in 2003 Character Battle Semifinal Round. NOT WIND WAKER

Anyone who's looked at the Dragon Quest franchise knows that JRPGs don't need to sell on story.

Octopath is barely gaining
The current updates feel like what happens in a lot of these seeding upset matches - bracket votes keep it relatively close early on, with the underdog game just barely extending its lead each update, giving people hope that the favored entrant will turn things around. Then the bracket votes fade and the underdog randomly drops a 55%+ update and kills all hope.

What are Undertale's trends, even? We never got to see what they were.

I don't think it's a guarantee it does worse in the early game than with the later voters, anyway.


If Undertale ultimately ends up with a bad early vote in this match, it's because the early voters are more likely to remember what Undertale did in 2015 and anti-vote it based on those grounds. Yet that would totally obscure what Undertale's actual early vote would have looked like if 2015 never happened.

I'll be fragrantly annoyed if Odyssey wins after people talked me out of that upset pick.

Glad Dante finally has his day after years of choking.
To be fair, Donkey Kong is a renowned choke artist himself. One of them had to win.

Well

Tekken 7 has Noctis in it

Which means it's basically a Final Fantasy game and therefore totally legit

Thats fine but i'm saying MK11 is stronger because MK in general is stronger. Thats my point. I'm not saying for certain otherwise. ITs all speculation regardless.

We'll see when Odyssey matches up with Smash anyway

People supposedly held a big grudge against Draven and he still did better in the first hour against Ammy than all his other time zones. L-Block and Missingno are still best early on as well. I don't think there's much evidence to support Undertale making a comeback - it could still happen, but I don't trust the conventional wisdom on this.

I think people put too much stock on the idea that only B8 remembers rallies, but imo the whole site does. Even outside the site I've seen people mention Draven and Undertale wins.

Heck, B8 might be more lukewarm on Undertale than the casuals.
