Concerning yesterday's poll, it's worth mentioning that KH2 hasn't
released over Europe yet (which does account for a solid 10% of the
site), certainly when comparing it to KH, which was, I believe,
released in Europe at the time of its poll. Adding to this, since it seems we'll be running a little later than usual with the Character Battle, it is notable that Kingdom Hearts II is set to come out in Europe during September. That may be a little past halfway or toward the end of the contest, which might have some effect. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die.

Well it depends how popular KH is in Europe. I'm entirely unsure of how
popular it is there, but I could see it easily having some effect.
Enough to put a close match in Sora's favour at the very least. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

OK. The bracket's never getting released. Or, that's what I'll start believing if I don't see it by Saturday. That or Cjay gets his thrills off people hating him, which wouldn't surprise me. --- Sign my petition! Topic ID: 22242738 Beef Jerky, Catgirls, DESU DESU DESU! O_o |

KH is not particularly popular in Europe. It sold 780K, compared to FFX's 2.1M. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

In europe it's all about halo. or in the UK at least which keeps sucking up to the usa's EA and microsoft produce. i mean out of 100 casual gamers only 5-6 have even heard of chrono trigger let alone played it. --- Kilroy:Their fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft.

Hmm. I felt sure it would come out today, giving a week of bracketing.
I'm starting to lose hope. Maybe he won't have a bracket to predict
this time...just the polls. --- "Kefka and pictures go together like gordon freeman and winning." |

I would rather him just completely ignore this contest if he is even entertaining the idea of no predicting period. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Some bloodlines must come to an end. |

Nah, I want to see the matches whether there are site-wide predictions
and a contest or not. Besides, even if he was to simply skip it, when
you consider CJay's rate, that doesn't mean the Character Battle will
be any sooner. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

If we're going to go a contest skipping a bracket, I'd rather it be the character contest. How are we supposed to the effects of no bracket if it's done for a contest we've never done?

I personally don't care to find out the effects if it means I don't get
to predict a bracket. That's a big part of the contest, and I would be
seriously peeved if it were taken from us. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Nothing good comes from not being able to predict. This absurd wait for
the contest doesn't do much good for my anticipation of it either. This is just really stupid. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Some bloodlines must come to an end. |

What's wrong with this poll? It's now confirmed that the PS3 used games
thing was false, so making a hypothetical question about it after the
fact isn't unethical. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Currently Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM, Fire Emblem 7, Larussa 92 |
