HOW THE CRUNK IS CV WINNING THE DAY VOTE?! Its not only winning, but it's has the same amount of votes per update than the night... --- cavedog0: Dec. 2003 - Oct. 2005 Now that USA and Holland and Australia are out, is currently rooting for: France |

What I'm shocked at most is how much it's winning by. Alucard couldn't
even keep this percentag up each update against ****ing kratos in the
day time. seriously, wtf. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

I like the way this man thinks! Well, that's two of Starcraft's matches I think we can safely say overrated the opposition. Now it's just down to SC/Wind Waker. The games it potentially overrated there are Wind Waker (yeah, we're not going to get an indication of that in this contest), Metroid Prime (*maybe*), Half-Life (lol GFNW), and SoA:L. Bah, this is why we needed these jobbers spread around. C'mon, Street Fighter/Soul Calibur would have been a perfect trap. Kingdom Hearts/Sonic? --- Commit it to memory. |

There's so many areas where the x-stats started going wrong in htat,
and all we know is that it was probably linked to starcraft. For all we
know SSB:M overperformed on ff7 or something. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

| We really need a representative from the GBA/DS games (most likely from the Aria storyline) just for comparison's sake. SOTN and Alucard are fairly popular but they are also from an older game. |

That's it, I'm inventing a new term right here and now: Nintendo Association Factor (NAF) Basically, it says that whichever contestant is more closely associated with Nintendo wins, unless Final fantasy is involved. The Legend of Zelda vs. Civilization- Zelda is straight from Nintendo. Civ gets whipped. Suikoden vs. Mega Man X- MMX has had several of its games released on Nintendo systems, as well as being associated with Mega Man, which is closely associated with Nintendo. Suikoden gets whipped. Pokemon vs. Star Ocean- Pokemon is straight from Nintendo. SO gets whipped. Metroid vs. Kirby- Metroid is higher on the Nintendo pecking order than Kirby. Kirby gets whipped. Metal Gear vs. Soul Calibur- Soul Calibur has had only one release on a Nintendo system. Metal Gear has had...3 (MG, MG:GB, and MGS:TT). Soul Calibur gets whipped. Fire Emblem vs. Silent Hill- Fire Emblem is straight from Nintendo. Silent Hill is soundly beaten. Castlevania vs. Halo- All of Castlevania's most popular games, exculding SotN, have been on Nintendo systems. Halo gets whipped. NAF FTW! --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

Alukart had screenshots from a while ago, IIRC. Anyone have those on them anywhere? --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Wow, even the Halo 2 board mostly voted for Castlevania. Their reasons
are that Halo only has 2 games, and overall CV is much better with
several excellent ones, and they're actually voting on the whole
series. --- caps |

Basically, it says that whichever contestant is more closely associated with Nintendo wins, unless Final fantasy is involved. KH has so many FF cameos, it might as well be considered FF + Sora. --- Moltar Status: #37 on the Leaderboard!! Castlevania vs. Halo - Bracket: Halo - Vote: Halo (6/6) |

Cameos? Does that mean you never even get FF characters in your party in KH? If so, that's lame. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

If this trend continues, CV will gain another 350 votes... and lose an
update by 7... then 9... then 11 and so forth with 350 vote gains in
between... Halo is just looking pathetic on so many levels. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

This is what I don't understand... Halo wins an update by 5, and then CV wins one by 100. It's boggling my miiiiiiiiiiiiiind. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

Bah, Leon doesn't count. If he does, then you technically also get
Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, etc. in your party during the massive Heartless
battles. Oh, I forgot if he technically joins your party or not. I didn't think he did, but I wasn't sure. I just remember he does hang around with you quite a bit in Hollow Bastion. And that last update was ugly. CV doing this well with the morning/day vote? Didn't see that coming. At this rate Halo won't be doing anything until the afternoon, and that's definitely too late. --- Moltar Status: #37 on the Leaderboard!! Castlevania vs. Halo - Bracket: Halo - Vote: Halo (6/6) |

| Yeah, this isn't (just) a result of Starcraft screwing up its division. I know that several of us have done the math regarding how much Starcraft could reasonably have changed its half of the division's strength, and even if you assume some pretty crazy things it does not begin to account for this. |

This whining is fantastic. And even the gloating, since at least one of the groups is going to take a hit come Castlevania/KH. ...yeah, typing that still feels weird. --- Commit it to memory. |

I really do think there's cheating going on for one side, but I don't
know which since I'm too lazy to look at update differences. >_>
It seemed cheating was happening for CV earlier though. I don't know, how often in the history of five minute updates has a contestant gone from losing an update by five to winning one by 84 legitimately? It seems almost too strange to not be cheating. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

I doubt there's cheating going on now. Castlevania's already pretty far ahead of Halo. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |
