As the resident (ahem) lover of rallies, I'm claiming this one. Gotta make stats topics once in awhile!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/1350-west-division-round-2-ryu-vs-dante

Remember when people thought Dante could win this match? And then the Canadian hockey team robbed him of winning the rematch?

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3817-midgar-division-round-2-ryu-vs-dante

Good times.

~*Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings*~
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's extrapolated percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

What exactly do we define as a rally, though. I feel like equating getting people you know to throw in a dozen votes to posting something online where it can get massive exposure seems wrong.

I think the prevalence of positively-received rallies in GotD 2 compared to CBX is a sign that people generally find game contests more exciting than character contests.

One is cheating and ruining the results of the match. The other is cringy as fuck "hey person from high school I havent talked to in years, please vote for this video game you've never played on a website you've never heard of!"

The only person "positive" about rallies is Board 8's resident manchild, and the people who are hypocritically only supporting the rallies when it goes in their bracket's favour

Damn, do you not have like 10 good friends that you still talk to on at least a weekly basis? I'm still young so we haven't drifted apart, but that sucks!

I'm talking about the people being rallied. A typical reaction to reddit rallies in CBX was 12% upvotes and one comment which just says "fuck off"

Moonroof got the 70+ votes, but RE2 might have won anyway. It ended up winning by 88.

So it was Moonroof and myself, then ;)

Absolutely. Character contests lost their magic because we had them every year.

I was behind 145 people yesterday on the overall standings. I got the perfect 8 points today and only moved up about 20 places. Competition is getting stiff near the top, and it looks like someone will need 4 points tomorrow (which is no guarantee) and then to pretty much run the table for the remainder of the round in order to break into or stay on the Top 50.

Great job with the predictions this year, everyone.

It had a low percentage last round, too. There were a lot of casual bait picks in its eightpack.

You mean the Gamefaqs users saved RE2?

How very fitting

Also Can we nominate BB being the turd of the entire contest when this thing is done? Literally had shit ton of rallies in a close match and STILL FAILED.

Utter embarrassment.
