I just can't see Punch-Out of all things winning the ASV over DK. Not that it necessarily will matter as DK's starting to assert itself right now, too.

Doubt Punch-Out is going to do any better once we get away from the board vote. It seems like the kinda game that would do great early (not just board vote, but early and through some of the night) than DK. Got no faith in Punch-Out doing anything during the day. DK's probably got this one.

0/0 points - The Best. Game. Ever 2009 Contest
NP: Tetris > Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
RPGuy96 | Posted 4/6/2009 9:06:41 PM | message detail
Guru and BOP went pretty strong for Punch-Out!!, though, so I'd wager it's got BRACKETS behind it. And Punch-Out!! does not strike me as a day vote friendly game.

The way Tetris is massacring these chumps is pretty impressive, though. Mario 3's going to have a field day with its fourpack.

We have 1660 votes, which is really good.

So should I go back through the topic and repost all the posts calling my pick idiotic in a very snide, asshatish way?

Or should I save this for Brawl/Galaxy?

Same. If I had to bet, my money'd be on the ape. Never thought I'd see Tetris doing this well, either.

I'd wait one or two more updates before ringing the bell on this one. As I said: Board vote goes to Tyson, but bracket vote goes to DK. And DK always has a strong early vote, too.

Tetris doing this well isn't too surprising to me... I mean, with Punch-Out bombing like it is, there's nothing even close to it. this is Tetris and three games that are weak as hell.

I don't know. DK and Punch-Out!! are probably LFFing each other partly. SMB1 breaking 70% is starting to look a lot better though.

ZFS | Posted 4/6/2009 9:09:07 PM | message detail
Tetris being this high isn't all that surprising. I originally had it at 50% here, even if it'll end up being a fair bit above that. It's not like this is even noteworthy competition, although DK managing to get votes with Tetris doing this well blows my mind.

Man, I don't have a read on the board's pulse for this contest at ALL, it seems. I assumed DK was the favorite and that Tetris was heading for one of the bigger slaughters of the first round (and this is with absolutely TOTAL confidence in MM > Tetris). Wow.

I've been saying this for the last 10 minutes.

Space Invaders is doing horrific here, it's looking to be in the bottom 5-10 from the results here (unless Tetris is SFFing it).

See? Punch-Out is doing fine.

I know this is the stats topic, but projecting an entire contest based off the first 5 seconds of the first match got really old about.... five years ago.

1) Damn, Tetris. I though 45% would have been good for it.

2) Damn, Space Invaders!

3) The board really wants PO to win, methinks, and that's aside from brackets. I'd be surprised if DK got the board-vote over it, so PO's in a tough position if it can't improve through-out the night and hold its own during the day. Then again though, the day won't be kind to DK either, so...we'll see. We should wait awhile before calling this.
