My point is that for your analogy to make any sense, Galaga would have
to be much weaker than SI, and Ninja Gaiden would be closer to it. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

1000 will be nothing for NG. It is going to rip Duck Hunt apart in
Europe methinks. Europeans aren't as obsessed with guns as Americans,
and Duck Hunt wasn't packaged with SMB1 there IIRC. That in addition to
Hayabusa dominating the Europe vote means NG will have a couple
thousand by the ASV. Considering that Ninja Gaiden will only have a few thousand votes by morning I find this hard to believe. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: SMB > NG Points: 6/8 |

Or to put this into perspective, DH went from 3200 down to 100 down on
DK the game, and a year later, Master Chief went from 2000 down to 1500
up on DK the character. If DK the game and character have similar day
votes, then DH's performance is more impressive because it is much
harder to come back when you start off down that much more. Now that
assumption should be false, but it's not like the NES Ninja Gaiden will
have much of a day vote. --- Best Game Ever Contest II: Score: 4/8 Bracket: Super Mario Bros. > Duck Hunt --- Vote: Duck Hunt |

Oregon Trail won the day vote. Punch-Out broke even. I don't think I even said that but I'm not seeing your point here. What are you talking about? Last night I said I liked Punch-Out's odds at the time a lot better than OT's because OT was much more likely to fall off, and I was absolutely right. Punch-Out only dropped a couple points from that point, OT collapsed - which wasn't surprising at all. As for my point, I was just poking a little fun at your track record, that's all :o) Major underestimation of Mega Man 2. I don't blame you after yesterday, but I'm still not thinking Mega Man 2 just rolls over and dies. Game actually has fans, and it definitely had the toughest match yet. ... not by much, mind you. I really don't think it's an underestimation at all. MM2 will just roll over and die. SMB and Legend of Zelda? It's going to get mauled. Everyone whose played MM2 has played both those games, and respects them a ton more. It'll get generation SFFed by two games that are VASTLY stronger than it. ff6man I really do see Duck Hunt coming back and winning this unless Ninja Gaiden can amass at least a 1000 vote lead by morning. Heh...at these percentages, a 1000 vote lead would be a mortal lock. These games aren't strong enough to swing much. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

Yeah, DH/NG are only going to have about 5000 votes by 7 AM. A thousand

It's hilarious how normally we'd see epic several-thousand vote swings
like DK/DH, but in this scenario it'll be replaced by a 700 vote swing
or so. It'd be epic vote-swings if SMB wasn't doubling all three games combined, essentially. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

I'm saying that it's highly unreasonable to expect any NES game to have
a good day vote, and that obviously includes Ninja Gaiden. Duck Hunt,
however, for whatever reason, has a proven track record with the day
vote. I'm not expecting it to be at its 2004 levels with the ASV, but
when it still holds the all-time record for biggest deficit from which
someone has legitimately come back (well, almost come back)....it's
really hard to see why you'd expect Ninja Gaiden to have a better day
vote. It needs a lead overnight and in the morning, and it will get
one....I don't know how large or if it will be large enough. --- Best Game Ever Contest II: Score: 4/8 Bracket: Super Mario Bros. > Duck Hunt --- Vote: Duck Hunt |

Ok guys. Suppose going into the ASV Monkey Island has a 200 vote lead on SimCity and Tecmo Super Bowl. Mario 3 has 75% of the vote. Who you got getting second? Do you take the football game that'll surely do better in the US than in Europe, the game more people have played (plus, you know, Sim), or do you trust Guybrush's ASV power? --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

RPGuy with the numbers :) It had nothing to do with the day vote, though. It had to do with the dead hours when foreign countries dominated the poll. You said at like 1am or something that you liked OT chances at the point better than was Punch-Out's were at that point the day before, and I disagreed - I thought OT was a lot more likely to fall off that Punch-Out. Not about the day vote, but trends. I was just joking around about your recent track record on trends. Not trying to offend. Honestly I'm not even sure what the heck you're talking about anyway. Go find the post or I'm just going to assume you're randomly making things up. And really, there's no reason to need to make things up to prove my lack of track record. Heck, we have sigs for that.

A liberal estimate for Ninja Gaiden would be 10 votes per 5 minutes.
That's a 700 vote lead or so by 7, maybe more if DH bombs overnight. So
that's what, 56-44% in Ninja Gaiden's favor? Could be close, but NG
probably needs to hit 1000 before it feels safe. --- .,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,. Now Playing: Etrian Odyssey 2, Devil May Cry |

I can all but guarantee you that Frog and Kefka would not beat Donkey
Kong at the ASV. Yes, Frog would probably impress us by giving ground
very slowly during the ASV and then pulling off a miracle comeback in
the final 2 hours because there's no way Frog can lose a close match to
DK, but neither of them would beat DK at the ASV. And if you think DK's
day vote is that bad- just how awful is that of Tetris? --- Best Game Ever Contest II: Score: 4/8 Bracket: Super Mario Bros. > Duck Hunt --- Vote: Duck Hunt |

And if my thinking's correct, Duck Hunt's "comeback" was a result of it
just having a really REALLY crappy morning vote. The fact that it went
even with Ninja Gaiden during the Power Hour definitely does not bode
well, and NG is going to tear up the joint as the night goes on. I
fully expect the lead to be over 1000 when I wake up. Over 2000 by the
time the ASV hits --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |
