I thought people's sheer annoyance about SFII would be enough. Also, as ES has two games on the FAQ list on the home page, I thought that might show that people coming specifically for Oblivion will see the Oblivion characters and vote for it.

I suppose I am wrong. Daaaaaaaamn.

You should change that to your "best series I can't believe I heard so little about" ;D

And just to add to the current conversation, Shadow Hearts is the only series I haven't played in this contest. That being said, people don't really anti-vote RE, so I forsee a massacre that will get RE some good lookin X-Stats.

I would be extremely tempted to take SF > KH at this point in time... and it has nothing to do with today's match.

FACT OR FICTION: To go back to both the upcoming LoZ/FF match and the debate about MM and MMX, whatever LoZ gets on MMX will be matched by FF on MM.

I see underperforming written all over MM/FF by FF and massive SFF for Zelda/MMX. Watch how fast the banwagoners hop next week. In general LOZ pretty much has the perfect road to overate it. A true fodder first round, a very popular side series whose its gonna sff 2nd round, a very popular series its gonna massively sff 3rd round. Then the weakest final four member. Zelda's gonna be massively overrated in the finals.

But then I though the same was gonna happen this round with FF barely tripling Diablo and LOZ destroying Civilization. FF proved me wrong there so maybe it'll prove me wrong again.

Tomorrow's match will have no influence on RE's X-stat whatsoever though. X-stats are determined when the participant loses. If he never does, his Xs is 50%.

That's correct.

And Mega Man's going to get crushed next round. Why anyone would think otherwise after seeing that performance against Diablo? In fact, I can't see anything touch FF in this Contest.

Shadow Hearts has had a contestant in the contest before, unless I am thinking of another relatively-obscure PS2 RPG series. Not sure how indicative that might be of possible strength, but maybe it is something to go off of as a general guideline.

That'd be Yuri something-or-other. Lost to Samus in SC2K5. Last place in the stats.

Yeah, behind heavies like CATS, Laharl, and King of all Cosmos.

SHADOW HEARTS VS. MADDEN WHO WINS?!

Actually, it's because when they were made, nobody thought anything of SFF. Everyone was still on the "LOL, the stats never work" phase.

And I have no idea how people are giving Resident Evil the match based on this performance.

After seeing what Final Fantasy did to Diablo, if SMB only gets 60% on Warcraft, it's gonna get CRUSHED. Regardless of what people say, I can't see Warcraft being leagues ahead of Diablo.

With that said, Final Fantasy doing what it did to Diablo made it even harder for me to decide what Super Mario Brothers is going to get. Logically, if Warcraft and Diablo are in the same general neighborhood, Mario should get high 70s-low 80s on it. And yet I can't see that.

I had high hopes for GTA before Warcraft upset it, and even without rallying Warcraft looks like it would have done well on GTA. I know it won't rally as much against SMB as it did to GTA nor would as many rallied votes do GTA > WC as SMB > WC, but there should still be some impact by it. I'll take my chances on it being high.

He got his feelings hurt, and that is unacceptable. He's only allowed to be a jerkward to OTHER people. He's not capable of handling payback!

Oh wait, do you think I have a lawsuit against red because he suicided my main and got me usermap axed? That was some severe trauma I endured because of that, since as we know, the internet is serious business.

And Street Fighter's losing percentage at a rapid pace now.

At the 15:20 mark, this match has 76108 votes. To compare with other matches at the same time:

Zelda/Civilization - 75624
Metal Gear/Soul Calibur - 76874
Kingdom Hearts/Harvest Moon - 75905
Mega Man/Mario Kart - 75420

Rather surprised to see this match outdrawing Mega Man/Mario Kart.
