I'm amazed by KH's ability to draw in votes. It's going to break 80k by itself.

Also, 50000 vote lead exactly right there on the freeze. Not bad. Probably the 2nd most noteworthy thing that's happened with this match all day.

Okay, now let's talk prediction percentage. I'll say 83.86% for Kingdom Hearts. At first, I was wanting to shoot into the 90s, but even Metal Gear didn't manage that.

Now that I reevaluate everything, this performance doesn't seem too bad. Sora's never been known for blowing anything out, and it seems that Harvest Moon actually has a tiny fanbase, something I was not expecting at all.

Intangibles

Madden doesn't have a single thing going for it in this match. First off, sports games are the least popular genre on the site, next off, this site is NintendoFAQs, and finally, Mario has had more contest representation than any series short except FF, and in all of those appearances it has shown to be extremely strong. End of story.

Advantage: Mario

Conclusion

VERY good contender for largest blowout in the contest. 90+% for Mario.

Well, Soul Calibur was actually almost close to being a somewhat tempting upset, whereas most people (on Bait, at least) thought HM would be complete fodder and maybe the weakest thing in the contest.

I say KH gets 91%.

Quaarma Hunter's Quaint Qubandwagon Quanalysis

Today's Match: Super Mario Brothers v. Madden NFL

XDXDXD

People actually think Mario has a chance against Madden? Putting aside that Madden sells a ridiculous number of games, putting the Mario series to shame nowadays, it's far more of a series to boot!

Firstly, let's remember that voters will only be taking the "Super Mario Brothers" games into account. Games like Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine obviously won't be taken into account, because they don't say 'Brothers' on them. So instead we have SMB, SMB2, SMB3, and NSMB. SMB2 wasn't even released here, so voters clearly won't be taking that into account. NSMB won't matter, seeing as how no one cares about handhelds (especially Japan). So you're left with SMB and SMB3. And in my opinion, those games suck. They don't have online play, and they don't have Tom Brady, the most legendary quarterback of the modern age (Brett Favre doesn't count since he's already a timeless legend).

Sure, Madden might suffer from having jobbers like the Indianapolis Colts (lol perfect season more like perfowned season) and the Philadelphia Eagles (lawl), but the rest of the teams should balance it out. Plus, we can't forget about fantasy drafts!

Prediction: Madden with BOOM!%

KH has never been too big on collecting bracket-support outside of our board, and I wouldn't take KH over Metroid (though I'd take Kirby over HM, granted)...

...KH with 84%.

I say buy. Almost everybody has played a Mario game before, and I think that the very few who haven't will have played a Madden game. Mario is a top-three series and Madden attracts all the wrong feelings to it from this site. The two together should have the vote-totals very high and Mario nabbing so many of them.

Looks like this match is gonna outdo LoZ/Civ with 10 minutes to spare.

Looking around the board, it looks like many people here are going to joke-vote Madden.

Don't press the panic button just yet if Mario isn't all there in the first minute >_>

Oh, and finally a match with a series I care about. The last one was, what, Metroid/Kirby?

Perhaps Harvest Moon is strogner than I expected. I thought KH would get at least a tripling, but it fell short. If not for the huge vote totals I'd have blamed it on KH instead.

This match is now 7 votes behind LoZ/Civilization with 10 minutes left. Should be a tight race !!

I still think Kingdom Hearts goes into its second round match as the slight favorite, but there's no way I'd bet anything on that bad boy.

Tai's Quarter-Ass Analysis

Today's Match: Super Mario Bros. vs Madden

Oh man, what can be said that hasn't been already?

GameFAQs is pratically Nintendo's home, and at the same time sports games' worst nightmare. I mean, SMB's part of that notorious "Big Three" that make up the possible winnners of this contest. Poor Madden; I honestly think it deserves better. Anyone who's a decent a sports fan...well, who doesn't like John Madden?

Oh well. 94.32% for SMB it is.

By the way, with Kingdom Hearts being such a vote draw...An indication of the effects of KHII--an increased presence on this site?

Perhaps good news for Square when the Character Contest rolls around.

Also, the consistency of vote totals has been amazing thus far. Every single match has fallen somewhere in the 101-111K range.

Kingdom Hearts wrecks brackets every contest. That's what it does for a living. 2003 was when KH was its tamest, and still many people picked Sora.

I like Tai's prediction, though I hope for my sake and for the sake of comedy that it's too low.

Wow, 90% picked KH.

Well, at least Soul Calibur was relatively appealing compared to Harvest Moon, so that's an excuse.
