| Im frustrated by MegaMan. I ignored the MegaMan snub in the first contest and the L-Block popularity figuring that there are just so many MegaMans that its hard to form a consensus, and that nobody really cares that much about Tetris, L-Block was just a great joke. But now it looks like Tetris is a lock. |

| I'm really curious to see how well Tetris can do in Round 3 against Zelda and SMB1. I feel like it could almost sneak in 2nd... |

| Tomorrow's match .. is completely unpredictable
now. Except maybe my faith in Ninja Gaiden fading because of these
bombing NES games. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

pretty awesome contest, no? I have a lot of thoughts about pretty much everything right now. time to sit back, watch it play out and make an ass of myself on a daily basis in the Analysis Crew. --- xyzzy http://www.mistwalkercorp.com/en/_src/sc569/HNI_0022.jpg |

Oregon Trail is losing updates to Pong now. Let's see if it can hold
the lead over Pong for the rest of the match. A 2192 vote lead should
be enough here. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

The thing to watch here now is Pong / Oregon Trail. Pong's got all day
to cut away at that 2k vote lead, especially if Oregon Trail keeps
getting these 10% updates for the rest of the match. --- http://www.court-records.net/manga/4koma/(eng)4koma2.png Hail FastFalcon, our new guru overlord! |

Oregon Trail probably still has some life in it. I think it'll do quite
well with the ASV seeing as how it's a game people play basically
exclusively at school. If Pong keeps up at this rate it could make it
close if not lead by that time, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if
OT started storming back once the kiddies get home. --- SCCs completed: Thief, Samurai, Archer, Wizard, Mediator |

The thing to watch here now is Pong / Oregon Trail. heck, at this rate, I'm getting worried about Mega Man 2 > Pac-Man. On the other hand, this is starting to make Mega Man 3's chances not look so hot against the Final Fantasy games in Round 2. --- Yay - FastFalcon is the guru champion of awesomeness. |

Heh. Right after you call one match right, you screw up royally,

doesn't mean his games are! --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

So Pong has been cutting into OT, it would be cool if it beat it, but
if OT is as popular in America as some say the ASV should be able to
save it. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: MM2 > Pac-Man Points: 2/4 |

I doubt Oregon Trail was as popular, or even released in Europe. It makes sense that the dead zone/morning are toxic to it. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

I have mapped the geolocational trends for yesterday,s match. Highlights: MTPO! barely beat DK in North America, but as no one else likes it, it fell under. Space Invaders is more liked in the rest of the world than in North America. Tetris is loved, and in Europe and Asia it got over 60%, lol Russia I guess. North Americans made up a greater part of the voters than the average from 2008. 79,21% --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |

Gaddswell | Posted 4/8/2009 8:18:13 AM | message detail Yup. The updater died. The last update I saw from it was the 8:00 AM update. I'll still be on to note down the 9:00 AM update, since that will have to be used to figure out the trends for the BSV. The updater probably isn't even tracking updates right now due to the site being down. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

Does anybody think Galaga's chances of winning went up, or not really?

I suppose I could track updates manually as long as I can. I started it with the 8:45 update.

Galaga has always had a chance, if DH gets SFF as bad as I think it
will and NG turns out to be worth nothing even a SFF Galaga could take

whoo finally back. people were really expecting MM2 to get mid 50's?
Dang... I definitely didn't think it'd be doing this bad, but I also
didn't think it had any chance of beating the other 3 games combined
with breathing room. Happy I didn't take any MM games to go anywhere,
except MM2 > Tetris, which can still happen, but it's not looking
good. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |
