Let's just look at the most recent match of SSBM v UT. The next 4 referral sources (SA, 4chan, Steam, Smashboards) added just a few sprinkles on top. You can also see that FB became a pretty big rally player near the end once people started reaching out to other sources for rallying. Outside of the UT matches, those sources are very small. You can see that the Tumblr and Twitter traffic massively spikes during these rallies. It goes up during rallies of course, but not nearly as significantly as other sources. The reddit traffic is generally constant during the contest. You can easily pick out the Undertale matches and can see the effect that the rallies had on both those matches and the surrounding ones.

I'll show what they are, explain what they aren't, and hopefully that will put an end to it.ДЇirst, let's look at the referral traffic per match for this contest: I'd like to set the record straight and discuss these rallies.

Notable snubs: Sonic 3 & Knuckles (the guru nomination), Mario 1, Zelda 1, Link's Awakening, Final Fantasy 1, Mega Man 2, Street Fighter 2, Super Smash Bros. Snubs was a huge theme of the pre-contest chatter, and there were a LOT of snubs due to Allen's weird contest prerequisites. In the end, the fears about the format weren't warranted and we ended up having a DAMN good contest. The example everyone will jump to is that Mario 3 might have beaten Pokemon without the Undertale rally, though one could argue Pokemon would have won that one no matter what. A lot of people didn't like this idea, myself included, because the fear was we would see low vote totals and have too many matches decided by collateral damage. On top of that, the contest would end up being 4 matches per day for two rounds, then two matches per day until the semifinals. Then vote totals fell off the map year after year, and the concern was such a contest would absolutely suck even if we did get it. Contest fans have wanted this format for 10+ years, and it really looked like we would never see it. a fair 128 game 1v1 contest! I can't really overstate how cool this was. The following days saw Allen make a bunch of math topics to spoil the format, which would end up being. The overwhelming response to Allen's topic was to get a fair 128 game 1v1 bracket, with no divisions by era and no BS. So two years after the fallout of Draven made us seriously question if we'd ever get contests again, the announcement came that we were getting Best Game Ever 3. Four matches were held a day in Rounds 1 and 2, two in rounds 3-5, and finally 1 match a day for the semi finals and final match. For the first time, multiple matches were held at the same time. Much to the delight of Board 8, there would be no divisions by era this time around, and all matches were 1v1 and lasted for 24 hours. contest that supposed to run in the summer that same year.
