Citation needed. Post 241 is literally comparing two rally threads to matching match trends.

I use Reddit a lot more than GameFAQs and probably know how it works better than 95% of this board or more. You can have two threads at the top of two different subreddits and have one with little to no engagement on it.

You are not arguing in good faith, ignoring what pjbasis is actually trying to say and only discussing the points you want to discuss.

Octopath's barrier game is strong.

And again, you are being deliberately obtuse and only focusing on what makes your point look better. The effectiveness of those threads is not what this is about and you're fully aware of that, so I don't know why I'm bothering.

I'd be okay with there never being another rally again specifically it it ensures the Stats Topic never fills up pages and pages of this exact same conversation for the 15th time.

Okay then I legitimately have no idea what you're on about. Truly. You can't tell someone they're arguing in bad faith and then not tell them what you think they're supposedly actually arguing about.

You have been proclaiming this match as proof that rallies make matches good, conveniently ignoring the fact that it was 50/50 before the rallies even went up. That's why pjbasis is calling you a coward. This argument was never about whether the rally worked. You're so obsessed with being right that having an honest conversation is almost impossible, and the only people who end up on my ignore list are people I'm incapable of having an honest conversation with.

Okay, I get it. Thank you. I legitimately wasn't understanding you, sorry.

I honestly feel that without the rallies this would have followed the exact path of Celeste v Rayman.

Eh, the last few hours seem to indicate Shovel Knight is probably winning right now without the pinned rally.

You just said it now. GameFAQs audience might respect it enough that it doesn't lose to something it abhors like Dota 2, but we're just not the people in those servers. That audience is a whole different generation.

GameFAQs just likes games like Spider-Man more than Minecraft. Huge sales and giant play rate outside of GameFAQs doesn't necessarily turn into strength on GameFAQs. Like Fortnite just got killed earlier.

It is a game that defines a generation in ways. A generation who's youngest members are 6 and who's oldest members are 19 or 20. Of course there's people older than that who love it, but that's where it is most popular.

The average age of this site is in it 30s. Minecraft would do really well on other sites.

Minecraft could've probably be one of the strongest games in the site back in 2009/2010, but it has grown to be somewhat frowned upon for being too full of kids. The novelty and impact has worn off a bit, and I see this match more as a match about in-game quality more than anything else (not that Minecraft doesn't have it, but it's hard to explain).

I don't think that Minecraft's lack of success here is as much because of age, as it's that it's the favorite of no one that comes to a gaming site. A lot of the people that counts for Minecraft's sales would never visit a gaming site. I have a hard time seeing it being too succesful anywhere, even if this is one of its worse places.

2009 is probably still a bit too late for Minecraft to have an audience here. Something like this comes out in the N64/PSX or even PS2/GC/Xbox era where our generation would have lapped it up, and it's an elite title no matter how many kids flock to it.

It's just a matter of whether we have nostalgia for something for Minecraft or not.

Just showed up after being gone since 9pm EST last night.

Here's the thing about rallies... They're GREAT because the whole point of these contests is to draw attention GameFAQs and keep this dying website alive. It's not about us on Board 8 who've been following these matches since Mario vs Servbot; it's about exposing the site to strangers on Reddit or wherever who just might keep coming back once this contest is over.

I may not always love the results of rally, but I love seeing today's votals at 25K with 2 hours left to go--especially after most R1 matches topped out at around 21K. Far as I'm concerned, keep the rallies coming.

Octopath had a really terrible update there.

I think it'll end up close, but even if they've been back and forth for a while, it's overall been in Shovel Knight's favor, so I think it's winning.

It will be very interesting to see the split in votes between registered and anonymous users.

From what I'm seeing, ALBW/Minecraft/Mario and obviously Octopath seem to be the ones been benefitted from the rally.

I feel like weekday/weeknight trend differences shouldn't be quite as stark due to the pandemic, but I guess even the smallest of details matter when it's this close.
