6,000 votes? Yeah, 3,000, maybe 4,000 was in the realm of plausibility. XD I knew Halo was overrated, I just thought in the division with Soul Calibur, Kingdom Hearts, Fire Emblem, Silent Hill, and Harvest Moon it wouldn't matter. Looks like I underestimated Castlevania again. FUN FACT: Karma Hunter has never taken anything Castlevania-related to win a match. Ever. --- Commit it to memory. |

Although, there's pretty much no shot of Halo winning this match, how
much do you think it can get percentage-wise during the afternoon. I
could see close to, if not over 55% of the votes during its best update. --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars." |

Hell, I can see 60%+ of the votes on its best update. It's just not coming back from 6000 votes, is all. --- Commit it to memory. |

Also, if I had Castlevania getting to Metal Gear I'd be *very*
confident right now. Yeah, Kingdom Hearts has KH2 and all, but if Soul
Calibur means ANYTHING (and it likely does) then Kingdom Hearts was
always a paper tiger, and it's going to be depending on the fuel of KH2
alone to make it overcome an established series that's whipping another
VERY similar case right now. Yeah, I'd say Castlevania > Kingdom Hearts is a strong, STRONG possibility now. --- Commit it to memory. |

Disney released it on DVD in 1999. It was one of their first DVD
releases; a way to test this new medium and its market, basically. I
have it, and while it is probably my favorite movie ever, the actual
DVD stinks. No extras at all. The good news, however, is that Disney
will be releasing it with their whole Platinum Edition 2-Disc DVD thing
this October. --- Board 8: Where people treat each other right. |

Speaking of KH, we should start looking at the percentages. If
Castlevania can keep up like this, the prospect of a victory next round
looks more and more interesting. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

It could get 80+% and it could be HM being complete jobber fodder. I guess something outlandish like 90% and above would make me squirm. Unless you're absolutely NOTHING, like Tanner (and Harvest Moon probably isn't), the 90+% range is typically seen only by the contest elites. --- Commit it to memory. |

on KH to make you confident that KH stands no chance against CV. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Hmm, that may be an even more interesting question...I'd say if it
can't break 65% then it's probably screwed. Anything below 60% and I'd
have total certainty. --- Commit it to memory. |

Personally if KH can't triple HM I'll begin thinking something is up.
If it fails to break 70% I'm almost convinced that it can't beat CV. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Man, this is one of those days I wish I didn't have to work. Granted, I think this five days a week..... Halo is, uh...hurting, really bad.

If it wants to come back, it can start by actually winning two
consecutive updates, and winning at least one update by more then 3
votes. >_> --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Personally if KH can't triple HM I'll begin thinking something is
up. If it fails to break 70% I'm almost convinced that it can't beat CV. Yeah, but remember when KH bombed against "total fodder", and then proceeded to wipe the floor with CV. Except KH was Sora, and CV was Alucard. --- caps |

After Sora/Agent 47 I'm wary of Kingdom Hearts' ability to blow out
anything (I knew 47 wasn't going to be the next Tanner, but I didn't
expect him to do THAT well). Kingdom Hearts seems like one of those
series that's going to have a voting bloc that...well, doesn't
'anti-vote' it per se, but just plain doesn't care for it. Sora's shown
us the same thing. --- Commit it to memory. |

65%? 65%? You think Kingdom Hearts will have around 65%
on HARVEST MOON?! Harvest Moon's fodder, plain and simple. It'll
probably come in dead last in the Xstats, competing only with
Civilization! I mean, I love Harvest Moon and all, I nominated it, but
it'll take a miracle just for it to break 75%! Then again, it did manage to outseed Soul Calibur and Diablo without any rallying involved.. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/ImBigBob/PokemonvsMetroid.jpg |

How many updates did Halo win so far? This has been the first time I've skipped posts since Magus/Knuckles, I believe. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Yeah, but remember when KH bombed against "total fodder", and then
proceeded to wipe the floor with CV. Except KH was Sora, and CV was
Alucard. Yes, but agent 47 was incorrectly labeled neo tanner by people who had never played a hitman game, and therefor assumed other people hadn't either. I don't think there's any valid argument for HM being more then absolute fodder. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

It was winning after the first minute freeze (not a real update), and since then has won two updates. One by one vote, and another by three, both separated by a period of time where CV increased its lead by 350 votes. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Alright, after getting fully caught up with the topics, I have one thing to say: HOW THE CRUNK IS CV WINNING THE DAY VOTE?! Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to laugh at everyone who was excited that CV only had a lead of 1,000 at the time that it did because Halo could easily come back from it. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

Hey, I'm not saying that KH is going to struggle to break 65% on HM,
I'm just saying that's the range that's going to make the whole Kingdom Hearts is so screwed sentiment come up pretty strongly. I think a tripling is more called for than anything. --- Commit it to memory. |

Also, I forgot to mention CV >> KH, because I still believe Halo
would beat KH. Hopefully we can see Edouble #1 on the leaderboard all
the way until CV/MG. P.S. To quote a wise man "Super Smash Bros. is so screwed" |

Boy, was I wrong. Ah well, it's only one point, since I had Halo losing to KH. I love how people just magically assume KH is going to decimate CV regardless of this match, and KH potentially being weaker than Halo.

I mean, there never really was a argument for agent 47 being bottom
feeder fodder, other then "lol he leks liek tannerz!?!!?!??!!?!?!?" and
"omg wuts hitman? lol obscure fodder gamez". I'm not accusing anyone
here of being ignorant to contenders with potential strength, but board
8 can be extremely ignorant when it comes to the potential strength of
any series or character they have little experience with. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |
