Yeah, I hate this match. It looked interesting when I woke up, but now
it's over. All that's left is to sort through the massive amount of
whining and blind fanboyism on both sides, like in WC/GTA. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

I don't get why people can't understand the simple concept of why we
had a day vote today. Halo may indeed have had a stronger day vote. KH
was simply stronger. If Halo is down 56/44 when the day vote comes into play, even if it has a 3% swing(It doesn't. It was closer to 2%) we won't see a real dayvote per say. On the contrary, KH was never down farther than 51.5/48.5, and is on pace for a 51/49 turnaround(minimum). This 2.5% turnaround is in the same vicinity, but it was stronger overall. Final point is: The reason we haven't had day/night voter swings until today is that not all the right conditions have to necessary: 1. There has to be a dayvote swing. 2. That day vote swing has to be within the percentage of the night vote lead. Its pretty basic and probably doesn't even warrant stating, but I'm surprised at people who still don't get it. --- SC2k6: 21/22 Perfect brackets left to leap: 323 Today: Bracket:Kingdom Hearts Vote: Kingdom Hearts |

Yep, it's over. All Castlevania has is a few hours near the end, and
that's it. It probably won't even be enough to counter what KH has left
of day vote. --- 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 |

Well we Castlevania fans can always hope that CjayC finds votestuffers on KH votes, but I doubt it. BTW Castlevania won an update, a comeback would be nice to see ^_^ --- 1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d |

I know that its almost sacreligious here to debate this topic before
8:50PM, but this one requires some thought, it being a 3 contenders 4
pack that is. Round 1 Prediction Percentages: Castlevania 31.49% Halo Kingdom Hearts 90.3% Harvest Moon Today's Match? --- SC2k6: 21/22 Perfect brackets left to leap: 323 Today: Bracket: Kingdom Hearts Vote: Kingdom Hearts |

I'm guessing 55% will get today's. I'm betting a lot of people who had Halo also had it winning this round. --- ...little Weezing it's gonna stand up against my ****in' Charizard?

catching up, but this was hysterical: This is why the Captain won't let the Plan succeed! What kind of plan is so needlessly complicated? A plan should be simple and easy to remember!

All we have to do is pretend Fire Emblem is still really weak (it did get doubled by FFTA, right?)

| Well, can't say I'm upset that Castlevania lost. I love both series and all, but with the huge Aria of Sorrow/Dawn of Sorrow fan that I am, Castlevania had my support in this match. I definitely will not be jumping on the bandwagon for Kingdom Hearts > Metal Gear. I took Metal Gear to win the division without a second thought. I debate on whether or not KH or Halo could make it close (55-45), but that's it. I guess Metal Gear's performance on Fire Emblem has people thinking it is vulnerable to today's winner. Not happening. |

There's still one thing worth watching here. This match is slightly
ahead of Zelda/MMX's vote pace, so it might have a shot at hitting the
130,000 mark. --- ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO...Pac-Man? |

Does anyone else find it odd the amount of controversy todays' results
have induced among B8? It seems as though there are at least twice as
many of the "omg such and such is losing/winning" topics than in any of
the previous matches. I was under the impression that the majority of B8 had KH or Halo anyways. Especially considering only 30% of the entries had CV beating Halo. I mean, its a pretty irrelevent match if you ask me. I think most of us can agree that neither CV nor KH stand much of a chance against MGS. Especially with that 14 minute trailer for MGS4 pushing the hype for this franchise to previously unreached levels. BTW, if this has been mentioned already just ignore it. Can you really blame me for not wanting to read through 450+ posts to make sure? --- "Oh, and anyone who says they haven't tried their semen once is lying." Rad Link 5 |

I'm actually surprised about the amount of controversy it's caused in
favor of Castlevania. Despite most people here having Kingdom Hearts,
it seems like the majority wanted Castlevania to win. I love Kingdom
Hearts, and this is an awesome result, but you'd think super smash
brothers lost the way people are unhappy about it. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

eh, we aren't just drones that cheer for our brackets. we also like to
see upsets and you really can't argue that Castlevania is the more
established series. I'd say it's completely even on the board. the KH
cheering is bad and the CV whining is equally bad. today's just one of
those days where I'll barracade myself in the stats topic away from the
rest of the nonsense. --- yzzyx |

It might be the more established series, but that doesn't mean Kingdom
Hearts can't be better than it, even as a series, in three games. This
isn't a more established series contest, and as someone who admittedly
does love KH (and admittedly hasn't played castlevania) I think the
games are good enough to merit a win over a lot of other series. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |
| trannyscience | Posted 7/21/2006 1:21:08 PM | message detail |

yeah, that's exactly how I feel. Castlevania feels like the only chance
for a real, significant upset, and it sure looked possible. like Ulti
said, it sucks when the day vote just overwhelms an opponent. --- yzzyx |

oh I have no problem with people voting for Kingdom Hearts. people seem
to like it quite a bit. I'm just saying that the whining is, in a way,
justified. KH is barely a series at this point while Castlevania's got
a zillion games. --- yzzyx |

On a votal note, this match is almost exactly even with Legend of
Zelda/Mega Man X (more specifically, it's 5 votes ahead), so we're
looking at a match that could potentially break 130k (Zelda/MMX was 23
votes short). --- Mustache...and green... |

Actually, the biggest upset was debatably on a Tuesday. Just not this coming one. And your perfect won't even make it that far, so no need to worry there. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |

Yeah, Sora actually got linked during his match with Snake. It doesn't really help. <.< Hmm, as soon as I leave, it looks like KH made the move I was talking about. Too bad it was such an OVERWHELMING one. I don't get why KH is being said to 'impress', though. We have no idea how strong any of these guys are, but as from the beginning I'd be inclined to say "not very strong at all." I'll give KH and CV the benefit of the doubt since they're so far above Halo (nicely done, KH2!), but I've insisted that Halo and KH were chumps from the beginning. I just thought that KH was the bigger chump, and there I was wrong -- having the biggest game on the site at this time seemed to really help it out. Of course this match would have made me feel GREAT about Sonic/SSB if Castlevania had won, but Sonic's not out of this yet. SSB is stronger than KH, sure, but I've always viewed Sonic as a LOT stronger than Castlevania. I mean, c'mon, people are being silly here...It's Freaking Sonic!, for chrissakes. HaRRicH's analysis is the funniest of all, as it seems like a carbon-copy of why Mario Kart was supposed to beat Mega Man. Not that there's anything wrong with that, naturally. But people seem to be counting Sonic out, and while I doubt him I'm not going to be doing something like that. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal.

It'll get a bigger percentage swing, seeing as how bad MG is with the
day vote and how good KH is with it, but Metal Gear will be up by too
much for it to matter. KH will be hard-pressed to win a single update. --- 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. |

inclined to say "not very strong at all." I'll give KH and CV the
benefit of the doubt since they're so far above Halo (nicely done, KH2! For me, that's why its impressive. Kingdom Hearts went from being ranked below Halo to beating a series that beat Halo with 55%. I think it's impressive simply because KH is a small series and since it made up the difference and then more on Halo. (possibly, of course, we don't really know the games to series, but whatever.) Also, this is exciting for Sora in the sum...fall. I think this must show Kingdom Hearts II had a very significant effect, and now we get to wonder where he'll place. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

Sonic will dispatch SSBM easier than KH did today with CV. Truth be
told, I was more worried about this because of KH's wild voting swings
than I am about the consistent Sonic, who will make a statement Sunday
and set up the legendary match I have waited years for to settle the
battle of the early 90's: NES vs Genesis... Mario vs Sonic... Nintendo
vs Sega... for old gamers like me, thats what its all about. Course
most of the fans of this website were in preschool during these
console/mascot wars. And Sonic's win wll break more perfects than KH's today...take that to the bank kiddies. :) :) But we will be under 200 today, as I am guessing 1/3 of them took CV to upset both Halo and KH...
