Explained! lolx tells me Master Chief (2005c) VS Alucard (2005c) Master Chief wins with 62.84 of the vote! Halo (2004g) VS Castlevania: SotN (2004g) Halo wins with 72.78 of the vote! But SotN was behind massive OoT/GE underperformance, Halo was SC-cheat boosted, Alucard got a crappy pic against Sora, Sora got Snake Eaten, and MC had sword-factor against Crono. So really, this one is going to be tighter than you might expect.

Halo with around 55%. --- Time consumer, time consuming, consume me. Down, and out, and out... |

Important Reminder! Do not get overly excited when Castlevania gets out to a lead in the early portion of this match. Keep in mind that this is the same Halo fanbase that allowed Donkey Kong to gain a 55% advantage on Master Chief 5 hours into the poll last Summer! Yes, Castlevania will win the Night Vote, and may even do so handily. But there is going to be a gigantic Day Vote turnaround in this one, just as we've always seen for Halo. And then, on the other hand, Castlevania will have a good shot at the comeback in the final hours. So don't call this one over early! At least, not unless Halo jumps out to a large lead after 3 hours... then, it would be over. --- "lol x-stats" - The Contest Simulator: http://thengamer.com/xstats Ngamer's Contest Archives: http://thengamer.com/gamefaqs/ |

For the sake of my bracket, I hope Halo comes back. The one time I put
my faith in X-Box is failing me so far. Even still, I still think CV is
a far better series, and this is just an internet contest. --- While one star burns brightly, another fades away |

If a new franchise like Halo beats a legendary franchise like
Castlevania, then people are stupid. I'm not saying Halo is a bad
franchise (it's completely the opposite), but Castlevania has the games
and history to back it up, something Halo lacks (only 2 games?). My
vote goes with Castlevania. --- "Hiring you boys based on your performance at the potato sack race was the worst decision I ever made!" |

franchise (it's completely the opposite), but Castlevania has the games
and history to back it up, something Halo lacks (only 2 games?). My
vote goes with Castlevania. You could make the same argument about, say, Madden NFL vs Super Smash Bros (if that match were to happen, which it won't). Number of games does not dictate how good a series is. How long the series has been running is never the whole story (for instance, Castlevania wasn't really noteworthy until SotN, in that Contra was probably more popular before then; Castlevania's early history is hardly relevant to me). --- Cats land on their feet.

the problem is there are a lot of people out there who either a) have a memory that only lasts a year b) think that only new games are good because of Sorrow, this won't affect CV so much, but that's why so many so-called legendary series struggle against newcomers --- Call me Jeff Official midget of The Book Club If you paint a W on each of your buttcheeks and do cartwheels it will say WoW MoM WoW! -C Bar |
