Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 172
From: FastFalcon05 | Posted: 7/28/2005 12:19:32 AM | Message Detail
We usually don't declare a much debated much "over" until a lead of at least 3200 votes or so, but Zelda looks like she'll get a lead of that in no time.

Your number is definitely point of no return, but I remember when 2000 was the number that needed to be crossed, and I think in my head, it still is. How many of come back from that? Duck Hunt unsuccessfully, Master Chief (somewhat successfully, depending on how you want to look at it) and Starcraft? Maybe a Mario/Crono?

Donkey Kong could have had an increase, y'know.

Especially if all the other 'Tendo characters increased too.


So... DK > Master Chief?

I kid, I kid. >_<

She's really making the "this is going to be nintendo's year" argument look very good right now.

(1) Samus

Zelda is actually going up in percentage. She's really making the "this is going to be nintendo's year" argument look very good right now.

Considering Samus is the favorite? No surprise.

Regardless, it's still going from a near-doubling to finishing with less than 52%.

Good point, but you need to remember that old school squae is absolutely terrible with the day vote and nintendo characters tend to dominate it a lot of the time. I don't see this falling under 60% on zelda unless Vivi starts making a run very soon.

Alright, go Zelda! My bracket is still green, sexy and perfect, and I'm really glad I didn't go with Vivi.

Dispite how good Zelda is doing here, Snake will beat her.

From: Explicit Content | Posted: 7/28/2005 12:22:11 AM | Message Detail
I'm pissed off that I had "2005 Champ" over Seph pretty much for the entire length of the bracket being still open, and that only a few days before I changed to Seph for some unknown reason to me... the 2005 Champ in my mind being Samus. But yeah, I'm dissapointed in myself, not that Seph has absolutely no chance, but yeah.

I've been wondering why nobody has brought up the possibility of DK over Chief. Most of us are in agreement that the Liquid/Chief/Frog trio were overrated, anyway. Ah well, I suppose DK never was the one to get the Nintendo fans up in arms.

Well, people didn't talk about it because they figured that Halo 2 would cancel out MC's "overratedness," if you'll allow me to make up a word.

If Vivi had upset Zelda, and then Snake, DK might have a chance. However, with this happening, Donkey Kong isn't going to be anywhere near Master Chief, even with a Nintendo increase -- not unless MC's actually decreased significantly in popularity, despite Halo 2 coming out.

Mario ousting Sephiroth after failing to crack 40% two years ago would be a dream come true. I definitely believe he'll get his shot, so I hope he makes good with it.

Mario over Sephiroth would be even greater than DK over MC.

Master Chief gets so much undeserved hate...it's unfortunate. Halo and Halo 2 are really awesome awesome games.

They are above average games, I'd give them 8.5/10 in my book, although I'm not a huge fan of the fps genre. But MC's character is on par with monkey feces.

I've actually got nothing against MC. It's just that Donkey Kong is my favorite character, and he continually does poorly in these contests. >_<
