the main difference is that they actually had above average day votes. SF sucks at day. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them”- Vivi0198 |

It's an RPG by Square with Mario tagged on it. Of course it was goin' to win. Heh, funny that I voted for RE, considering I tried to play RE3 before and couldn't make myself enjoy it (damn controls)...yet I've had decent fun playing SF2. Thing is though, it's not bracket-voting...I legitimately enjoyed watching my brother play the RE games more than I ever enjoyed anything involved with the SF series. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun?

I do have to hand it to Street Fighter, though...I never expected it to
keep this close. Even if you count a hefty swing based on the picture,
I still expected RE to win with at least 55%. This is damn good. --- 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. |

And the perfects go perfect! Took long enough, but a group finally gets a 100 prediction percentage. 92.62% overall looks pretty good, but Zelda had higher. But FF did have tougher competition. We'll see how they do next round. Since no perfects fell, nobody fell off the Top 50 today either. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..."

Well well. I certainly wasn't expecting this, not after round 1. Conclusion: STOP NOMINATING SHADOW HEARTS JUNK NOW. --- 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 |

Who says WC's strongest time is during the day? That's pretty debatable. SC wouldn't agree with you. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Since when in the hell was WC's best time established to be in the day? It looked pretty consistent at both ends to me. SF is a night vote series, though, so it needs to get in gear quick. Giving up major percentage to TES isn't very inspiring (though it is an XBox series in part, to be fair). --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal.

Calling this match is a tempting idea here... wait, to all the people
who have the lists handy, how does RE typically do with the day vote? --- Need new sig. |

And well, dammit. I was planning on discussing my new fantourney poll

GTA built a lead of 337 before getting beat up after the bracket voting. --- Sp2k6: 28/30 Rank: Tied for 460th Losses: Halo, GTA but im gonna cry if he (Sonic) loses. Yesterday's Pick: FF Today: SF Tomorrow: Zelda - Zikten on the Sonic/SSB match |

Who cares about how RE does with the day vote, all we need to know is
that SF is about the suckiest there is at it, next to Cast...oh wait. --- 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 |

I'm tempted to call. I don't think SF is going to come back, so it's
likely another Pokemon at this rate. A nice surprise from it, but I
don't see the upset materializing here. And yes, Shadow Hearts needs to get as far away from these contests as humanly possible. --- 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. |

the main difference is that they actually had above average day votes. SF sucks at day.

The only things Resident Evil we have on hand is Leon won it against
Gordon Freeman, lost the morning to Mega Man but went basically even
the rest of the day, and Jill lost a little ground against Hayabusa. It seemed to lose a little ground against Shadow Hearts in the morning but bounced back in the afternoon. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Yeah, TES should've gobbled up the day vote. Apparently the X-Box has
games that aren't Halo or Ninja Gaiden. I didn't know that. I really can't help but agree with Turtle, here... "the day vote would favour the series that isn't represented by piles of trash" I think the day vote is in the air, really. (no, not just because of the picture!) --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

BOLD PREDICTION! Street Fighter "wins" the day vote. Whether or
not it actually takes updates is up for debate, but I have a feeling
that the iconic nature of Ryu will sway the kiddies. TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |
