No, I remember that match. Vercetti started off with the lead, then DK
caught up in the morning, took the lead at noon, built a small lead and
had it smashed in the evening. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

From Slowflake Posted 7/7/2006 12:46:30 AM 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. Wasn't 2k4 before the big Nintendo boost?

MC/Halo has a great day-vote anyway though, and for some of those the link was up early in the match. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Oh, well... I distinctively remember the argument that it was a fansite, so it obviously wasn't bungie.net linking here. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

Wasn't 2k4 before the big Nintendo boost? Master Chief/Donkey Kong took place in 2005. --- Board 8: Where people treat each other right. |

I'm kinda hopin SH does pull it up during the day just because I'd like
an interesting match sometime soon :P Zelda/Civ was awesome because it
broke records, but the rest of the Hyrule Division and MG/SC were
pretty dull --- Blast the Speakers!! Hopeful Soon To Be WWEGSB FPV DL Member |

From transience | Posted 7/7/2006 12:53:28 AM | #059 tomorrow should be the first good match of the contest. polar opposites make a good match. The big problem is that if Castlevania has the early lead and Halo catches up for the win, we'll have people whining about BOTH games losing. --- I do declare, old chap!

I don't see CV doing very well on Halo myself...or maybe Kratos(GoW) is just underrated due to seeding placement?? --- Blast the Speakers!! Hopeful Soon To Be WWEGSB FPV DL Member |

Poor Alucard's been behind an anomaly arguably every year...Mario/Cloud
in 2k2, he had to face Sephiroth in 2k3 (and FFVII/Seph seems to be
able to SFF PSX stuff like MGS/Liquid), Link/Ganondorf in 2k4, and
Snake/Sora in 2k5. And SotN is behind OoT/007. MC/Halo, on the other
hand, always seem to get overrated... --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

Meh. What I do is use a static Sora between 2004 and 2005 and extrapolate from there. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

I just hope SH pulls it out in the end. I am just a little worried about CV vs Halo, DMC vs Sonic, and mega man vs mario kart. everyone knows its gonna be a Zelda vs Final Fantasy/Super Mario Bros. Finals. --- Lakers 4 Life. jags 4 Life. Giants for life |

Tomorrow is a nice trap. Both in the seeding which should knock out a
good chunk of the casual brackets, and on the board where a surprising
amount of people are pulling for a Castlevania win. TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

53.83% - 46.17% on that last update. Only a gain of 50 votes. Silent Hill might actually win some updates in this match. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

So...with Fire Emblem looking like the winner for this match and Soul
Calibur getting demolished by Metal Gear, where does everyone think the
percentages will go in MG/FE? --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

nah, if the "Nintendo vote" holds like usual, this is probably SH's
best time. it might win one or two overnight updates when there's not
very many votes, but once the daytime hits FE should kick it in gear. --- xyzzy |

The vote difference is increasing of course, but I just wish the

Metal Gear won't get more than a 75% on FE, I think. --- Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!? Squall: ...Flower. |

I'm guessing about 76%, myself -- a lil' over the triple. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

From Tatsumaki Senpuu Posted 7/7/2006 1:54:13 AM 68% for MG ... Are you insane? Good point. If FE was doing as good as I thought, then that would sound reasonable. At this rate, prolly around 75% TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

I'd say 68% and 80% are equally unlikely, HM. After Mega Man X failed
to even triple Suikoden, I find it very hard to imagine that Metal Gear
will quadruple what is almost certainly a stronger series. --- Board 8: Where people treat each other right. |
| transience | Posted 7/6/2006 10:59:27 PM | message detail |
|
nah, remember when A47 was marked as uber-fodder and Sora barely
managed 70%? now, KH is stronger than Sora of course, but I'd say 76%
or so. --- xyzzy |

After Mega Man X failed to even triple Suikoden, I find it very hard
to imagine that Metal Gear will quadruple what is almost certainly a
stronger series. But at the same time I think you have to say MG is certainly a stronger series than MMX. Granted I don't think it'll be getting 80%. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids. |

I have 77.77% as my oracle right now, I think I'll probably stick with
it, but I'm very tempted to increase it. I'm wary of KH's blowout power. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids. |
