Overall Prediction Percentage: 57.29% If you asked most people before the match, the perfects only getting 73% would be pretty bad. Considering how the match turned out, it was actually a pretty nice job. They were a cut above the -1s who were a cut above the -2s who were a cut above the -3s. 13 people fell off the Top 50 today. sparkmdark1, CalypsoPSO, FFIXOwner, gamer421s_soul, DarkJiNx, Mortalmovieman, murph7272, 420addict, The_Gelugon, Sharp_Cheddah, Skinsiscool, Zetsumi and former first place LastFencer920 all took a gamble on Pokemon.

As I mentioned before, including an entire series dramatically
increases the likelihood of overlap, which is why percentages are
skewed and hard to predict. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Looking at FE I still can't believe how hard it tanked at night against frigging Silent Hill.
MG will probably gain more there than it did against SC, but FE is
likely stronger in the day than SC and MG/SC was the only thing that
looked like we had a day vote in the first place (because day voters
have no taste). FE will probably end up significantly higher than SC. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

If it weren't for Echoes, Pokémon would've won!! Okay, so
let me live in my little delusional world. Seriously though, if it
weren't for Echoes, I would have definitely voted for Pokémon, and
probably for Zelda next round as well. By the way, the whole shebang around who got to do part 316 makes me think, there's one stat that has never ever been compiled.

Some FE loser sneak up on Solid Snake? The Solid Snake? You know not of what you speak! No one sneaks up on Snake nor does anyone slice him up. He's got 1337 dodging skillz. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

you're just jealous because Joshua would sneak up behind Snake and slice him seven times before he hit the ground. *Joshua slowly sneaks up on Snake, who doesn't even budge. He gets close enough and SLICES HIS HEAD OFF!* *Or what he thought was Snake's head. Turns out it was just a cardboard cutout. Unfortunately for Joshua, he failed to notice the cardboard box that he had walked past* SNAP! --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Looking at FE I still can't believe how hard it tanked at night against frigging Silent Hill. That wasn't surprising. Silent Hill is exactly the type of game you figure would be a night vote type.

Unless Castlevania beats Kingdom Hearts handily (I'm talking Ulti-style

Gear. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

For whatever reason, I figured MG overkilling SC would raise
expectations far beyond what was doable. I'm satisfied with what I'm
seeing. (Or not, considering my stance on Metal Gear.) --- Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia. I mean, you're just walking from one side of a level to the other at a tenth of Sonic's speed... -vego |

METAL GEAR WENT DOWN AGAIN. This is the stupidest twenty minutes ever. From where I'm standing, it went up over 300 votes!! And the original MG series doubling FE feels pretty good from where I'm standing. Imagine what happens when MGS gets into the mix! --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal.

*jumps on that bandwagon* That would be cool, if only because Castlevania would be the least likely final four entrant ever. --- Mustache...and green... |

But if Fire Emblem outperforms Soul Calibur, you can drop my faith in

taken Marth instead for the Nomination Rally. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |
