Division 4 Round 1: L-Block/M Knight/Ryu SF/The Dog: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3257 * World, NA, and US votes are all similar. * There's no love in SA or Asia, with Ryu having dominant performances in those continents, Brazil, and Phillipines and L-Block being tied with Meta-Knight. * Meta-Knight actually gets first in the Netherlands, with L-Block ranking second. Division 4 Round 2: Crono/Amaterasu/L-Block/Ryu SF: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3282 * L-Block gets last in South America (including Brazil) and Asia (but not the Phillipines). * L-Block gets first in Europe and Oceania and their respective countries. * Crono is last in UK (lol) Division 4 Final: Crono/L-Block/Pikachu/Alucard: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3295 * Canada likes the block a bit more, as they have it placing second. * South America/Brazil have Crono > Alucard. * Crono actually doesn't get last in UK, but we get the still-amusing Pikachu > L-Block result. * L-Block and Pikachu actually tie for first in Australia, with 922 votes each (30.18%) * Asia has Pikachu > Alucard, Phillipines has Alucard > Pikachu Damn, this is fun. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Hah, this bit of news is more awesome than the contest announcement. Most surprising result I've found so far: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3275®ion=ASI Kratos is most popular in Asia? Do his games even sell there?

From: PartOfYourWorld | #258 According to some of these Asian polls on Dante and Nero, they LOVE Devil May Cry... and God of War is a pretty similiar game, so I don't see why it wouldn't be popular in Asia, too. Not to mention Altair also does better in Asia then any other region.. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/Meracle.jpg |

Well, I had guessed during the last contest that FF7's dominating
late-night vote was the equivalent of some Asian ASV. It seems like the
region polls bear this out to some extent. --- The world is toroidal. Exposed armpits are sexy. |

Division 5 Round 1: Donkey/Tails/Tidus/Cube: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3260 * North America was slightly more in favor of the Cube. * South America hates joke characters, as Cube is last in both SA and Brazil. * Brazil is Tidus > Tails. * Europe is Tidus > Cube, UK is Cube > Tidus, Netherlands is... Donkey Kong > Tidus? * Tidus breaks 50% in Asia, and 60% in Phillipines. Cube still gets second in both. * Tidus > Cube in Oceania and Australia. Division 5 Round 2: Cube/Tidus/Mega Man/Nero: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3284 * Little deviation from North America, US, and Canada from the World. * Cube gets last in both SA and Brazil, MM breaks 50% in SA. * Europe is actually pretty close, with no one even breaking 30%. Even more interesting, they have Tidus > Cube. * UK is also crazy, with Mega Man below 20% and close to Nero, and Cube and Tidus both getting over 30% each, ending up with Cube > Tidus. * Netherlands is close, but it has Mega Man > Tidus. * Asia and Phillipines are similar, with Cube last and MM and Tidus both being very close, with Tidus barely beating MM in both. * Oceania/Australia went Cube > Tidus. Division 5 Final: Mega Man/Cube/Snake/Zero: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3296 * Wow, Cube actually lost in North America, US, and Canada! * LMAO, SA and Brazil have Snake > Zero! * Well, you can blame Europe for Cube advancing. Snake is over 45% and leeched most of his votes from poor Mega Man who's under 20%. It's even worse in the UK where Snake breaks 50% and Cube breaks 30%. Mega Man with 12.5%, damn. * Netherlands resembles the NA region with a very close second for Mega Man. * Cube struggles to get 10% in Asia and 7% in Phillipines. But again, we have Snake > Zero advancing in both. * Cube cracks 30% in Oceania/Australia for an easy second. Contest Quarterfinal: Snake/Cube/Cloud/Mewtwo: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3302 * As expected, NA and its countries are close to the world's count. * Cube hovers around 8% in SA/Brazil, and in the case of South America Snake is only a few percent away from Cloud. * Netherlands has Mewtwo barely ahead of Cube, both close to 18%. Nothing too striking about Europe or UK, though. * Cloud doubles Snake in Asia, and in Phillipines Cloud breaks 60% while both Mewtwo and Cube fail to break 10% each. * Oceania/Australia are similar to World. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

2008 GotY: DS: UK has FF4 winning and Layton getting second, aw yeah. Netherlands has 33.33% for TWEWY. Several regions have TWEWY winning. PC: Nothing interesting except Phillipines being nearly 50% with Lich King. I don't think there was a region where Lich King didn't win. PS2: Europe and Oceania love Dragonball. Asia, not so much. Persona 4 sweeps first. PS3: SA has MGS4 with nearly 70%. That's even more than Asia. PSP: Hahaha Downstream Panic didn't get a single vote in Brazil or Phillipines. Surprisingly all the regions are pretty close to each other. Wii: SA and Brazil have Okami second. Mario Kart Wii breaks 20% in UK. ToS gets second in Asia. 360: ToV gets second in SA/Asia. Fable 2 actually beats Gears 2 in Netherlands. Download: MM9 gets third in UK to SSF2THDR and Braid. Multi: SA/Asia have GTA4 > FO3. GHWT > RB2 everywhere but in North America. MMORPG: Ragnarok Online is big in SA and Asia, but still not big enough to topple WoW. Original: TWEWY > LBP in SA and Asia. Remake: KH CoM is big in Asia, though doesn't topple CT. FF4 beats CT in UK, though. System: Wow, 360 beating Wii in Asia. Wow, Phillipines having the PSP in second compared to it getting less than 2% in Netherlands. Even the Wii wins South America/Brazil. GotY1: No love in SA or Asia for Fallout 3. Wow, Brawl under 10% in Phillipines and 12% in Asia!? Crisis Core #2 in Phillipines, Persona 4 #2 in Asia? UK has Fallout 3 at number one. GotY2: FO3 doesn't break 20% in SA, though it barely breaks it in Asia. MGS4 almost breaks 60% in Asia and Phillipines! On the same coin, Netherlands has Brawl at 45% and MGS4 at 25%. UK actually has Fallout 3 winning again. GotY3: I'll just post the percentages for each one here. MGS4/Brawl World: 47.9/52.1 NA: 46.02/53.98 SA: 54.87/45.13 Europe: 53.05/46.95 Asia: 68.04/31.96 Oceania: 48.94/51.06 US: 45.49/54.51 Canada: 48.93/51.07 Brazil: 56.92/43.08 UK: 52.73/47.27 Netherlands: 38.65/61.35 Phillipines: 66.86/33.14 Australia: 46.43/53.57 --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

I'm amazed how despite the UK loving Dragonball more than Asia itself
that Crono bombs there so horribly. Yes, I know CT was never released
there, but look at ****ing Kratos in the UK. If Kratos can do that well
on character design alone, why can't Crono in a country that enjoys
Dragonball? Even the CT remake isn't as popular as the FF4 remake there. I just find it weird that Crono is fodder to the UK even when you factor in a lack of games. I imagine Crono will get a nice two-three thousand vote boost in the region from his remake release, which might end up mattering in a few key matches. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |
