FE/SH is the one match that a match picture would be important on,
because a lot of people are going to be like "uh, I've never played
either of these." that said, I don't think it matters any more than a
percent or two. FE wins this anyway. --- xyzzy |

Yeah, SH would need some strange Maria/Heather/that one girl from SH4
whose name escapes me in order to get any significant advantage. ...basically, distance itself as far from what SH actually is as much as possible and hope for TJF! |

I'm surprised many people are saying Silent Hill will get better with
the day vote. Like dragoontheguy said, "Survival horror games seem like
the genre that would have strong night votes and weak day votes."
Whereas the other game is a GameCube/GameBoy series with SSBM ties.
Could be wrong, but it doesn't make sense for Fire Emblem to be weaker
relatively during the day than a game like Silent Hill. While SH should close the gap overnight, Fire Emblem should do better during the day and widen it from however close it gets. I don't see this match ending more than a couple points below where it is right now, and it could end up right around 59+%. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From the last topic: And Master Chief had a lot of trouble blowing out CATS (CATS!) and nearly lost to Donkey Kong. Master Chief also surprised everyone against Crono in the very next match. To me, that shows that Halo fans are always on the ready to rally and fight for their cause. Save for a huge surprise against Crash, Master Chief won't really blow anything out, but he won't go down without guns blazing, either. Can the same be said for Castlevania? We have no idea. I think Castlevania needs to establish a very solid lead throughout the night hours, because if the match ever looks like it could go either way, it will probably go Halo's way. --- Board 8: Where people treat each other right. |

If we still had the same poll-timing, I would expect a MMAASSSSIIVVEE

just don't think it'll be the same..... --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

And to keep the comeback theme, MC/DK also holds the biggest vote comeback record. God was that humiliating. I still don't get that match. Why would the games fanbases shift enough to allow a fanbase to occur? Shouldn't they have had virtually the exact same fanbase? Oh, and I can't really remember any survival horror entrants having a good day vote. Jill lost her lead against Ryu H., during the day, and only made the match close with the ending night vote. Wesker wasn't able to do anything against Kefka, one of the entrants with the worst day votes. --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars." |

MC/Halo are 1-2 in close matches, so I'm not too terribly worried about
Halo's rally power. It exists, sure, but I think the site likes CV
enough that it won't matter. Looking at Alucard's matches, he appears
to be a pretty good vote draw; I don't know if you want to correlate
that to anything or not but it's there. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

Dunno. I'd have expected DK to at least hold onto a 2500+ vote lead.
He's freakin' Nintendo, for God's sake. He defeated Aya thanks to the
day vote and stayed alive against Vercetti thanks again to the day vote. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |
