Sans will only do anything if there is a genocide happening, and Pac-Man never kills his enemies.

Ryu is a ninja, and those are not that good on 1v1 fights.

Who says Rosalina lost? Geralt and her spent the contest making sweet, sweet, Witcher love and he got her card as a reward.

Ryu lost because... Ryu struggled with birds, but Simon beat Medusa Heads.

Riku lost because... Half of all KH fanfiction is sex and that's Bayonetta's a natural at that.

But nobody came. (the skeleton one is also good, but better acknowledge the hijacked contest; wasn't as frustrating as 2013, but still...)

Half of all KH fanfiction is sex and that's Bayonetta's a natural at that.

Who says Rosalina lost? Geralt and her spent the contest making sweet, sweet, Witcher love and he got her card as a reward.

THE SMASH BROS SUN HAS VANQUISHED THE HORRIBLE NIGHT VOTE.

Also, Johnbobb, regarding the Aloy entry, sometimes people just vote for the dumb yet effective puns. (it was my case; blame it on how, unlike my cousins, I don't know much about Overwatch; still, I respect and have some interest in that game, unlike one that other cousins got addicted on, Fortnite)

Sans lost because...

It's pretty funny how they were legitimately backing it back then as the "Greatest Game of All Time" and not a flavour of the month rally, that it would have this huge, significant lasting legacy. And what's the sum total of that? 30% on Pac-Man. Would it do better internet-wide? Would it do better on larger game sites with more votes? Almost certainly not.

As I said back then: if that's how they want to play it, if you want to argue that cute little Undertale belongs in that conversation then fine, you need to maintain its popularity and show up every day. You wanna say this thing deserves to rub shoulders with SSBM, RE4, FF7? Alright, prove it. Stay dedicated like those fanbases have. And in that case, Toby Fox no longer gets credit for doing it on his own. If that echelon is where you place Undertale, it is no longer an underdog and should be treated entirely on its own merits.

I disagreed with the people saying it was a "meme game" (or "SJW game"), that's unfairly reductive. (And I do honestly like the game.) But it's clear that the popularity of Undertale is itself a meme. And it's sad that in the end, for all of their pretending otherwise, the UT fans weren't doing this out of pure love of the game. They were doing it for the same reason as Draven and even L-Block - an esoteric meme that eventually stopped being funny to them.

Tl;dr: not surprised, a little disappointed, but all in all get dunked on.

No, you got the counts wrong.
Johnbobb's Aloy answer should have three votes, and been named the winner. Instead, it's listed as having two votes, and Unbridled's vote for it is counted as a separate submission with one vote. Meanwhile, TsunamiXXVIII's answer only has two votes, and should have been the runner-up.
Meanwhile, the Shovel Knight answer should have seven total votes, but it got broken into two separate entries with four and three votes respectively. In this case, though, none of the other three SK submissions got more than one vote.

Rosalina was a galaxy away from a win

Rosalina wasn't a contest heavyweight

Rosalina lumissed her chance at greatness

Rosalina's votes were all piled to her right, so she couldn't see them through her hair

Rosaleaned too heavily on Mario star power

Rosalina careen-ad off a cliff

Rosalina needed that observatory to see her one vote

Rosalina blue her only contest appearance

...

*sigh*

The joke is referring to the first Witcher game in which, after having sex with a woman, Geralt would get a card. Also it's a play on the very notion of 'lost'. Namely that the two didn't care about the contest and snuck off instead to make love turning them both into 'winners'.
