Nah, can't be Europe yet. It's only 7 or 8 in all the European countries that'll actually make a decent difference in the poll. --- Need new sig. |

Alucard probably always needs to keep one arm tied behind his back to
restrain his power a la Oro. Otherwise, he'd beat Clinkeroth + FF7 and
Ocarina of Time in a poll with over 80% of the vote. ...oh wait, stats topic. Uhhh... NULL HYPOTHESIS or ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS: Castlevania would beat Metroid. --- This was Ed Bellis. Summer 2005 Fanfiction Project: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=28403845 |

1500 votes. About halfway to where I'd start feeling comfortable.
Simon, Soma, Alucard, (and Rondo!Richter and Rondo!Maria, I know you're
there in spirit!), congratulations, and keep up the good work. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

I'll go with, uh, alternate hypothesis. however, I think SOTN beats Super Metroid, and maybe Metroid Prime. either way, I think we can conclude that either a.) Castlevania is benefitting from a wide variety of games or b.) 007 was indeed hit with severe SFF against OOT. *thinks back to argument from a few weeks ago* --- xyzzy |

severe SFF against OOT. *thinks back to argument from a few weeks ago* Both. But I think people just need to give the handheld games and the old school games more credit.

Intellegence seemed to work against you in this battle. The low scores did better than the high scores. I wonder if it might have been because there were a good amount of non-Board 8 brackets still perfect, because of the high prediction percentages for everything so far. Seems like every match before FE/SH was obvious to the average bracket maker, while at least a few folks on the board talked themselves into Star Ocean and Kirby. --- Need new sig. |

From: LeonhartForever It's funny how before, everyone was going "YAY 100 LEAD UPDATE!" Now they're just going "YAY 70 LEAD UPDATE!" Halo is slooowly gaining momentum :) ...No, it isn't. Before we were talking about a 70 vote update, we were talking about Halo holding Castlevania to 30-40 vote updates. No, Halo stalls it all the time (the 30-40 vote ones, and recently, 20 votes), then a big update (ie 100 votes, but recently 70) comes and everyone starts cheering. --- ...little Weezing it's gonna stand up against my ****in' Charizard?

So does Halo still stand a chance against CV? I had Halo over CV on my brakcet. Halo's got a shot. Halo's come back from this kind of stuff before. But this one'll be a challenge, especially if CV keeps gaining at this rate. Eh. I'm going to sleep/playing Xenogears/writing. We'll know for sure in the morning. --- Need new sig. |

I don't think it drags. I think it's asinine how it's "this happens, go
here, now this happens, go here, etc... end of quest." But yeah, I am
on Jay's quest now. I am intrigued to find out about Grune, but it will
have to wait until tomorrow morning. --- RIP - Tnote827 (4/4/05) |
