I wonder if it'll finish up above 90% or not. Could be interesting. OT - have Nintendo given a (European) release date for the Wii yet? --- Jon Thomson - CATS, Jay Solano, Ridley, Scorpion, Alien Hominid, Duke Nukem, The Prince, Johnny Rocketfingers, two TBA |

At the 16:40 mark, this match has 82577 votes. To compare with some SC2K5 matches at the same time: Mario/Crono: 78924 (finished with 103501) Vivi/Zelda: 82627 (finished with 104671) Sonic/Tifa: 82992 (finished with 105858) Ryu/Rikku: 83519 (finished with 106264) Luigi/KOS-MOS: 84069 (finished with 106419) Very close to Vivi/Zelda right now, so 104-105k looks possible. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Also, that would set the record for most total votes for a first match.
If the Legend of Zelda keeps up the percentage for the rest of the
match, it could conceivably finish with as many as 94,206 votes if it
hits as high as 105,000 votes. That would be the record for most individual votes in ANY match. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Yes, if it gets 94,206, it would beat out Cloud's record by 120 votes. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Haw haw Leonhart, 82.41% indeed. And you called me the joke entrant! What's next, Mega Man X with 70%? I kid... I kid. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! Give it time! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Also, this match will probably finish in the top 5 for biggest vote
differential (almost certainly won't catch LoZ/Adventure's record of
88,208). Mega Man X with 70%, you say? Sounds dangerously close to what I predicted, actually. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Has the point that New Super Mario Brother's release might help Mario beat Final Fantasy been pointed out yet? Maybe.

Peh, Leonhart. Your blowout calling skills are not complete. I don't
want to spoil anything, but let's just say I have Mega Man X winning
with a good deal more than that. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

70% IS a blowout, mate. But if you have it winning with more than 80%
or so...I'd say that's too high. Final Fantasy VII didn't do much
better than that on Suikoden II. I don't think MMX will get quite that
high because I don't believe the entire series put together would beat
FFVII. Plus, I felt like undershooting in the event that everyone overshot. It's bound to pay off one day! --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

What are the mini-contests that usually run through the summer contests?

Okay, 85.63% is noticeably better than 80%, but I still wouldn't expect
MMX to be an "elite" series capable of such a high percentage. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Yeah, no doubt 70% is a blowout. Just the wrong side of one unfortunately for you !! --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Plus handhelds aren't that popular on GameFAQs anyway, besides maybe Pokemon, and even that's weak as far as the contests go. Even if it's become the DS's flagship game, it won't help much because handhelds are weak as far as GameFAQs go. --- sig |

I think I predicted low 80s for Mega Man X. I wish I could lower that to, like, 78%. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

I took MMX with 79.49% in the oracle, and I'm sticking with it.
Suikoden is just weak, and I sincerely doubt someone who hasn't played
or doesn't particularly like either is going to vote for Suikoden.
People like me who have only played the original MM series are going to
vote MMX, or so I would guess. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Trannys. |

You know, with this huge vote totals it looks like fodder will look even more
fodder like than usual. If we are going to be getting over 100k votes,
I highly doubt that Suikoden fans will be voting at the same proportion
as Mega Man X fans when you get past the core fanbase. I think I may
have shot a little low with a tripling... --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I'm voting Suikoden myself. Nothing against MMX, I'm a big fan of that
series as well, but Suikoden I have more nostalgic feelings toward. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa JUST LIKE UR MOM LOLO AND URS TO LALA-Tombolo |

Why does Battle Network have so many votes in that poll??? Probably for gamers who started gaming in the N64/PSX era. It's not like the classic series and X series has been doing much since then. Battle Network was probably the first Mega Man game for a lot of the newer Nintendo gamers (post-SNES). --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Oh, and tell me that after almost 100k voters see this picture with Mega Man X and
Zero that they will see Classic Mega Man later on and think it
represents the entire Mega Man series. Against the Mario Kart crew,
Classic Mega Man is toast!!!. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |
