Oh, no doubt LPs play a huge factor in this. Undertale is kind of a blast to watch other people play, whether you yourself have played it or not. And pretty much every big name in the scene has done an LP by now.

The Undertale fanbase completely dwarfs its sales numbers.


Ah, so what' you're saying is that Underfail fans are the millenial morons that don't actually play video games any more, they just watch cringey youtube idiots play games all day.

It's all starting to make sense.

I dont really understand this. Given Undertale's small play rate it stands to reason that its picking up votes from people who have never played the game. Is tumblr that hivemind? Or is it getting pity votes? I dont understand.



There might be some demographic/identity politics stuff going on. This was on my dash

http://nihil-descent.tumblr.com/post/133795368039/good-morning-vote-for-undertale-and-make-fake

"good morning, vote for undertale and make fake nerd boys mad,"

If you wanted a counter-rally I think your best bet would be to go to GG boards and post something like "SJW tumblrinas trying to get their meme game to the top, strike back!"
what if the counter rally is successful and Fallout 3 wins the contest? that'd be funny

also you guys can stop responding to BT, he doesn't even know anything about Undertale and is just raging because he doesn't like JRPG types of games

Small playrate? It's got over 350,0000 sales, and I'd honest to god say piracy probably pushes that over a million.


Same can be said about Fallout 3. Falllout roughly sold like 5 million, piracy pushes it by a couple of million at least.

Undertale can draw votes from rabid Homestuck fans in addition to their own fans.
Were the top of the leaderboards last contest dominated by Draven pickers?

Though we expected rally potential last time for Draven, I can't imagine many brackets actually taking Undertale to the end. I expect everyone to do decent with Undertale being a universal red among full entries.

Still wish SBAllen would curve the points down, not put so many points on a single match at the end. Having the final match worth as many points as the whole first round is what makes contest-winning rallies so bad. You can have an otherwise perfect bracket and someone else is rewarded for picking an abstract entrant.

if you count console numbers too Fallout 3 is about 10 million. Undertales numbers are nothing compared to Fallout 3

I don't understand the Underfail supporters on this forum. Who actually supports indie RPG garbage, complete with lame jokes and internet 'memes'. The people that are creaming themselves for that stupid game really need to play the indie games that are actually good, like Shovel Knight and Axiom Verge.

Seems as though the worst of the mouthbreathing neckbeards are the ones carrying this stupid game on Board 8.


I am quoting this so someone who loves Undertale can quote this on tumblr.


not sure if I want BT to be what Tumblr thinks of when they think of B8


Well BT is what the Reddit trolls cited as their reason to continue being asses at us, so it's inevitable that his immature whining and stupidity will be the death knell of us.

I love JRPGs. CT and FF6 are 2 of my top 3 games of all time. I just hate when nerds try to be funny. Great example of that are Portal, Earthbound and apparantly Undertale. The jokes just fall flat and the rest of the game (except in Portal's case) isn't good enough to support it. The only people that find Undertale of value, are the same people that thought 'THE CAKE IS A LIE!??!?!?' was funny back in 2007, and still quote it thinking they are original or something.

I actually started the game up for the first time today and can definitely see why it would appeal to this demographic. Its almost an anti-gamer game in a sense because it does so many things so differently from traditional games. Still even then its strength is baffling. At the end of the day its a PC exclusive indie title with a 300k playrate and to pull off a rally like this is ridiculous.
It's not slowing down enough, really. Stop making calls on single updates. The same thing happened against ME3 and look how that went.

Pokemon gained 600 votes over SMB3 in the last half hour
Thanks Undertale

This rally also seems to help Super Mario World, so it's going to be interesting next match to see it up against Undertale (but I still believe Undertale will win)
It will only be stopped by Pokemon..or OOT

Undertale needs to cut 53 votes per update to win.

Last two updates it cut 58, then 62.

Probably unless it gets a bandwagon like LBlock did back then.
Draven was basically all on the LoL subreddit but Undertale's base is too weak to carry it by itself.

It's clearly the result of the final boss of the No Mercy run.

The Dark Souls fandom respects a fight that makes the hardest bosses in their franchise look like a cakewalk.

I have a great plan.
We just need to trick (this shouldn't be too hard) the mods on LoL to put a link to the contest on their reddit.
Think about it, how many LoL players will have heard of Undertale ?
Is anyone of you surprised at the difference of vote totals of Sonic/Uncharted compared to the rest? They're at 35K while the other 3 matches are at 37K.
