Shovel Knight probably wins if no rallies are involved but calling it a sure thing is just revisionist history to suit your needs. Rally bad when I don't like it, rally good when I like it I am very rarely on the winning side of a rally and I've played neither of these games I'd rather there have been no rallying at all but you can't unring the bell as they say so I might as well get points out of it --- ...

Rally bad when I don't like it, rally good when I like it People are called out for being hypocritical about rallies more often than they should. People are basically just explaining what they thought think would've happened and no degree of certainty in that says anything about what people think of the rallies. Sometimes it's another complaint is needed everytime one comments on the match to not hear this. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. ...

Can't wait for all the people who complained about rallies to be okay with this You could win me over on companies getting more involved in rallying for matches if most of them did. I feel like newer companies are more likely to take the lead on a movement like this than Nintendo and Square. As is though...it's wacky-fun hype but also now may cost us the nail-biter finish we were looking likely to have.

I mean, it's only 11 RTs and 38 Likes at this point, so it's not monster numbers. It's just that with the two games trading single digit leads, it didn't need much to put this out of reach for Octopath in the final hour.

also that rally apparently lasted 10 minutes Yeah as I said, that account gets very few engagements. I'm not Twitter expert but it is my social media of choice, and follower count doesn't really matter if people aren't actively engaging your tweet with likes/replies. The odds of those 100k followers, or even a fraction of them, being present on a given day is low, but if your tweet goes viral suddenly you've got thousands of active engaged eyes on you. --- The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. ...

It's quite hillarious. Smash likely loses to BotW and then Link will only have lost to Link. This was almost true in the last GotD as well. Only Soul Calibur 2 let Team Link down. --- congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru ... Copied to Clipboard!

The David Hayter tweet was seriously the best part of the contest, especially since it worked so well that the LoL people got so freaked out they might lose that they lied to get the rally pinned to the top of the page. but yeah if people actually involved with the game want to tweet or whatever, I think that's less objectionable than one of us doing it because we want bracket points --- ...

Fuck rallies, but it would absolutely be worth it if Witcher beats BotW, based solely on what a bullshit weapon durability simulator BotW is Witcher and BOTW fall in to the same Catagory for me Either one is worth of GOTD At least it won't be some shite like Fortnite or undertale. --- ...

It's also as if it's not cool to like some middle ground of rallying, which is probably where I stand myself. I'm not entirely against small reddit rallies against each other, but I had no fun in Draven or Undertale. I'd like for most matches to be fair, which means no outside rallies or the impossible even rallies, but when they're there there's nothing to be done about it, might as well enjoy the match as best as I can and cheer for my favorite game. That's not hypocritical! That's just having a positive attitude.

After that the hope is that with most people on Zelda it won't even make a difference if it loses. I'd say if the rallies start they need to start on a game that could be competitive but Witcher uses to scare everyone else in the comp Mario Galaxy comes to mind. Witcher has no problem beating SMG2 without rallies. But its probably a 60-40 or something around that Witcher needs to triple it to put fear into other games. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
