The perfects were just 21 people off having a perfect prediction percentage. The match was easy so we have the top performers doing the best again. We lost a zero bracket somehow. No idea what kind of bracket it could have been to suddenly get a point now. Nobody fell off the Top 50 today. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..."

I expected Warcraft to just die... but after an initial deficit, it
held tight. Will it keep it up? I hope so, I want to see a good match
here. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

The bracket vote is pretty damn split here, though. Warcraft > GTA was the most popular upset for a LONG time. --- Commit it to memory. |

Although, the number I kept using for GTA's advantage in this match was
10,000 votes. So I was always thinking 55-45. But it could still end up
much higher for GTA. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Hmmm....Unless GTA does a lot of gaining (and based on every match so
far, large percentage fluctuations are not likely), we may have lost a
candidate for 4th strongest series. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Hopefully GTA can get it going soon. If rallying is a threat, close percentages will entice stronger rallying. --- Xbox 360 melts disks! And people made jokes about the PS3 being a grill. ~bokunokuso |

GTA should definitely do better during the day and WarCraft during the night, I would say. I doubt we'll have a huge swing in percentage though.

From THEJackSparrow Posted 7/11/2006 12:08:05 AM #218 Hmmm....Unless GTA does a lot of gaining (and based on every match so far, large percentage fluctuations are not likely), we may have lost a candidate for 4th strongest series. I doubt it. To be really honest, I think a lot of people are letting their WoW hate undermine how strong Warcraft might be. Or maybe it's just me.

I'd think WC will be a day vote kind of series thanks to rallying.. plus, Diablo was pretty damn good with the day vote. I was hoping for some more separation here.. I'd think that rallying would be far more likely in a close match. if this was 60+%, people probably wouldn't even bother. --- xyzzy |

Honestly, I can't see Warcraft being in the upper class. Maybe high-mid, but not a contender for the 4th strongest series. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Well, GTA has a bigger lead than Castlevania did right now. Just saying... Basically, I doubt WC is winning this match. It's just closer than a lot of us though. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Hmm. I'm fully expecting GTA to get the day vote (it's against Warcraft
for crissakes), so if Warcraft doesn't get its ass in gear soon it's
over. I've been thinking, other than Diablo and Kratos Aurion, can you think of any other non-Square RPG character capable of breaking 20% against Link? (Even there, I'd think Kratos is pretty borderline.) --- Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia.

From what I remember of Ulti's analysis, VC was able to keep it close
until SSBM got a day vote lift. I wasn't here for most of that match
though, so I couldn't tell ya. --- Commit it to memory. |
