Thanks for the new topic! This is a nice, close match, but considering
my complete neutrality toward both games I just can't find it in myself
to get freaked out over it.

Wow, this is just like Sonic vs. Samus, except even closer. o_O I don't
remember exactly what time of the day Sonic vs. Samus became incredibly
close, but I think it was about at the same time as with this match.

Finally an end to the blowouts, but since I don't have a preference towards either game, I'm not really too
excited. Anyway, I waiting to see if either side is going to 'make a
move' within the next hour, but it's looking more & more like a
match that'll just go back & forth for the long haul.

If this keeps up all the way 'til midnight Pacific, I'm scared to let
the outcome in the hands of CJayC. It paid off last time, but you know
my feelings on that one.

Thanks for the topic solar :) Must be hard to keep pace. That last one didn't last long at all.
This match is unbelievable. MGS with the completely unsafe "cushion" right now.
I stated this in the update topic, but in terms of the extrapolated standings, it might have been better for Tactics to lose this match 65-35 than to win. It can suffer a lot from SFF vs. Final Fantasy VII. If Tactics does win, my prediction of MGS being the strongest non-Nintendo, non-Square game in the extrapolated standings will certainly be false.
I'm so torn, because I don't want Final Fantasy: Tactics to get PWNed by SFF against Final Fantasy VII, and I love both Tactics and Final Fantasy VII.

Tactics is probably benefiting significantly from the Final Fantasy name though, and that obviously will mean squat against THE Final Fantasy.

More than anything else, this match reaffirms the power of the Final
Fantasy name, something which I believe a few of us have forgetten
after Nintendo's impressive performance so far and their E3 showing.
After seeing this, I have more confidence in FFVII defeating OoT.

Is the "instant" updating permanent or is it just a glitch w/ the new
servers or systems and what not (how the poll updates when you refresh)?

So MGS could still grab that last minute pull from the night voters to
make this a safer bet for MGS, right? That is waht tends to happen, it
seems.

The votes just after a poll starts are some times very different from
the votes just before a poll ends. So FFT still has a good chance at
getting the night votes for the win.

Well, Samus took the night vote, while Sonic then took over again with
the morning vote, If I've heard correctly...and Samus caught up by
several hours before the end and was 50/50 until it stopped...

Actually, I think Sonic took the first part of the night vote as well.
Also, remember that DK took the first part, but dropped the second one and almost the match. Against Duck Hunt, that is.

well, if today's match has taught us one thing, it's that we have no clue what will happen th rest o f this tournament.
exceptions that we do know:
1) SMB3 will lay waste to Final Fantasy.
2) Zelda 1 will crush Tetris
3) FFX will beat FFTA without too much trouble.
other than those three matches, the rest could all be really close or they could all be blowouts for all we know. without the stats that we had for last year's contest (from the year before that), everything we have from this point out is pretty much guesses based on small observations.
that being said, i'm guessing that Castlevania: SotN will edge out Goldeneye in a match similar to today's match.

Observation:
The common opinion is that the GoldenEye vs. SotN match tomorrow will be close, with a majority of people picking GoldenEye to win, correct?
Could today's match have some bearing on that?
As close as it is, many people will be staying on until the finish. At that point, the new poll will be put up, and these people (myself included) will go ahead and cast their vote in the next match before going to bed.
Being hardcore gamers (obviously, if they're gonna stay up to watch the climax of a video game poll on a website), I would think that the majority of votes would go to SotN. Especially if MGS loses, if such a thing as a Konami fanboy exists.
Granted, most of these people would vote SotN later in the day anyway, but giving it a substantial lead at the beginning of the match could create somewhat of a buffer for the game that GoldenEye might not be able to overcome.
Just a thought. Probably not true. But oh well.

Just playing SotN doesn't mean that a person thinks it's a better game.
I've played both, and although I think SotN is awesome and is ranked at
#15 on my favorite games list, Goldeneye is ranked at #5. I just had
too much fun playing multiplayer with friends, and singleplayer is fun
to this date. Goldeneye was a great game, and it's not in this contest
just because it sold well.

Yesterday`s match proved that BOP numbers will mean less as this contest goes forward, that`s for sure.
Oh, and before I read this topic, I have a request. Tanya was filling me in on everything that was going on between 11PM-12AM EST through text messages and a phone call on my break. Apparently, MGS spiked to a 100 vote lead at 11:45, but was cut down to 70 votes by midnight. I`m asking a lot, but can I get as much detail as possible as to what happened in the next three hours? This is for my PCA, and full credit will be given to whoever helps me out here.

Remember how KH took a massive lead over SC with that hardcore vote, then SC came back within seconds?
A lead of 14-5 is massive? I was refreshing the hell out of that poll early on, and it was dead even after that early 14-5 advantage.

With the lone exception of Mario vs Cloud, I predicted all of those matches correctly. And I would have gotten Mario vs Cloud right had PGCN not stepped in. Seriously, I didn`t notice how lucky I`ve been in the tight matches until about 40 seconds ago. Wow.

That's not bad going at all...
It's looking like this match is going Goldeneye's way, keeping up my chances of a near perfect 32/64 division (Perfect Dark), which would be somewhat of a shock considering some of the poor decisions I've made in the other divisions... question is whether it can stay ahead of 55% to keep me in the top 10 of the spread betting tourney. Out of interest, what's the general feeling of the board for tomorrow's match in terms of percentages? Even if it is Ocarina of Time, I can't see Mario getting tripled up as the line says...

Honestly, who knows. SM64 could score anywhere between 20%-45%.

I can't really give the details but let's just say that the next three
hours had a lot of back and forth lead changes. If I recall correctly
neither managed to gain more than a 30 point lead over the other (this
was with the constant update.) It was dead even (literally) until
around 10 minutes or so before the end that MGS suddenly jumped 30
votes ahead in 3 seconds.

Tactics fell by only 30 some votes? Geesh...
Wow..what a performance by Ramza and the gang...I saw it hit lead for a couple minutes til MGS took it back and kept it by the slimmest of margins...stayed up til there was like 2 hrs to go, and hoped for a fanboy miracle. Alas, MGS won, and it deserves it cause its a worthy game...but still, my bracket! *sniffle*
Oh well, the rest of Round 2 are easy points...though I hate seeing Goldeneye win even though I picked it. CV is just WAY better..duh!

Are ya all ready? Fanboys? Gamers? Elites? Newbies? :) It's time for...the enhanced...
Steve Illumina Speaks
Indeed it is so, the infamous and ever humorous commentary continues, to offer some educated levity, here on this the true beacon of intelligence on this overly fanboy dominated board.
And so it proceeds, with the first true Nintendofest here in the "Golden Age" Division
ROUND 2: Match XXXXIV
(7)Mario 64 vs (2)Zelda Ocarina
Steve's Prediction: Zelda by 70%
Steve's Bracket: Zelda
Newbie's Pick: Zelda Trailer from E3
Upset Chances: Link > Mario = No Upset
Comments: Here we have a twinbill of the 64's finest games (Sorry Quest 64 and Vigilante 8 lol) with Mario 64 taking on Zelda Ocarina.
This is the first match in this tourney between these two really popular and beloved Nintendo heavyweights. Though there will be more Mario vs Zelda matches, this one falls earlier than it deserves to. A pity...
Anyone who has a 64 played both these games. They probably loved them both too. They took their series in new directions, and evolved them from the traditional styles to something new and improved, while maintaining the fun tradition of their ancestors. For all Nintendites, this match hurts their inner consciousness...pains their gaming souls...strikes to the very core of their being even!
It should be closer than it will end up...but due to the better seed, brackets, bragging rights, the RPG bend, etc..Zelda will beat Mario pretty soundly, setting off a tidal wave of "Zelda is Champ" posts by the silly Nintendites. Then all these Nintendites will do it again when Wind Waker wins, and SSBM, and well you get the idea of the level of their collective intelligence.
The King of Platformers will focus his resources on his strongest battalion, leaving the right flank here lightly defended, for he knows it will be overrun by the Hyrulian Knights, who have lobbied the fanboys to their cause...
Ride Yoshi Ride...to SMB3's next match!
Why Zelda Will Win: Voting blocks: Nintendites, bracket voters, RPG/Adventure gamers, E3 new Zelda trailer droolers.
Why Mario Wont Win: As good as this game is and played and popular and launch title and all that...it cant compete with Zelda in the hearts of a majority of Nintendites. It would beat every other game in this bracket except FF7 though...
Probable Results: Link shall plant a bomb in front of Mario and BOOM! a secret passage to the Sweet 16 will be revealed! 70-30 split.
Best Bosses: Mario: Bowser: Was a challenge for once! Well sorta. Zelda: Ganon: Same as above.

I honestly never thought Samus vs. Sonic would be challenged in terms of closeness. This one almost beat it.
