40 votes this time. An increase in gain, but CV seems to be losing steam.

The Xbox and Halo are popular outside of America?

The original Xbox and Halo were less popular outside of America, but still a very big deal over there. Lots of more "casual" games rule Europe.

Last time it looked like it, CV flipped Halo on its back for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

Uh huh...yeah, listen guys, if you want some discussion...seeing as how the Halo series should be more popular than Halo, and Castlevania is beating Halo at the moment, while it's postulated that SSBM will be the driving force behind SSB...

...how many of you guys would anticipate Castlevania going 50/50 with SSBM?

Can we put the final nail in Starcraft's transitivity's coffin, yet?

If Castlevania can win every update in this first hour, it's probably smooth sailing until about noon EST tomorrow.

Zero, if the people in this topic have any common sense. SSBM>Halo on this site.

Oh, I doubt that one, but it very well could be closer than when Sonic faces SSBM.

Well put it this way...

Would Castlevania do better on Final Fantasy then SSBM did on Final Fantasy 7? I don't think it's likely.

Assuming CV gains 50 votes every update until 9AM, it would have about a 7200 vote lead by then. I doubt CV's going to have that much momentum going for that long, though.

Alucard got tired of Halo slowing it down, so he decided to use 0.01% of his power and Castlevania shot up a bit in percentage!

Hopefully Halo wins this one. I am not a big fan of either game but I figure more people would know of Halo than CV. I don't want to join the 12k(about half) people who just lost their perfect records from not voting on Fire Emblem. lol

SotN did get #15 on the Top 100 last year. If Halo 2 had been on the drop-down list, I highly doubt Halo would have got 9th place like it did.

Still too early to call but I like what Castlevania is doing at the moment. Do you think the DS might have helped strengthen the series' popularity?

... Do not compare lame DBZ characters to The Great Alucard!!!! I'll have you know that Alucard could blink and DBZ characters sould disappear. He just doesn't use his power because he is a nice guy!

How many casuals are really up and ready to vote at midnight?

Have you noticed the votals? Much higher than the 3 AM start time, which means many more people are awake and voting.


There are more people, but there are more... obscure, night vote people.

And where would have ToS ended up if it was on the drop-down list?

Sorry, I HAD to. ;) I know it got there because of the big board drive for it.

BTW, Halo reached its peak against StarCraft at 6:30PM. So the day vote lasts for about 8 and a half hours. Is it enough time to make up all the votes CV's getting right now...?

Man, every time when it looks like Halo's going to stall, Castlevania turns right around and slams a big update down. I think Alucard's just toying around with the Chief right now.
