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. This is true. However, the argument that the NES Ninja Gaiden will somehow channel the ASV of the Xbox Ninja Gaiden- you'd think Mario and Zelda games could do that, no? And yet Zelda 1 and Mario 3 had pretty poor day votes in 2004. You'd think a game as mainstream as Tetris wouldn't lose ground to stuff like Donkey Kong and Punch-Out, wouldn't you? And why did Oregon Trail win the ASV yesterday over Pac-Man and MM2? --- Best Game Ever Contest II: Score: 4/8 Bracket: Super Mario Bros. > Duck Hunt --- Vote: Duck Hunt |

From: WarThaHedgehog | Posted: 4/9/2009 12:56:20 AM | #343 Let's freaking do this. I love Duck Hunt and have it in my bracket, but I couldn't at all complain if Ninja Gaiden won. Despite writing a review where I crush the game for being too hard, it's one of those games I can have fun with despite thinking it's kinda bad. You know, like Tecmo Super Bowl. --- .,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,. Now Playing: Etrian Odyssey 2, Devil May Cry |

Hayabusa was losing to Zero until the day IIRC and came back with the
ASV. And Zero has a fairly average ASV. Hayabusa's best time in that
match was the morning (darn u europe) vote though. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Votals between two games in 4-ways are already small enough when
they're mid-carders or whatever. We're talking two fodderific games
where the bottom three don't even make up a third of the total votes.
1000 vote leads is going to be ****ing impossible when the available
votes are this low. A 500 vote lead between DH/NG would probably equate to a 3000 or 4000 vote lead in a traditional 1v1 match. Too lazy to do any actual computations. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

I'm not offended I really just had no idea what you were talking about,
and your initial statement poking fun at me was basically completely
wrong. I just thought it was funny. I may have said that but I don't really remember it. Knowing you I might've just been ranting with only you taking it seriously, too. At best I think I said Oregon Trail would have a good ASV and that Pac-Man would need a lead or something going into it, and I was right (sort of... I'm not sure how much Oregon Trail actually CUT the lead during the ASV) about that. No one mentioned it dying during the dead hours-- though it was a pretty obvious thing to figure in hindsight. ANYWAY. Not worth talking about anymore. Ninja Gaiden dominates the day of this I am certain! --- So I lost a bet to creativename (yeah...hardly shocking). Like usual, I should've known better!

No one mentioned it dying during the dead hours-- though it was a pretty obvious thing to figure in hindsight. Well yeah, that's a large part of why I disagreed - I said that OT would do well during the extended power hour time, and bad after. That Punch-Out's trends were harder to forecast beforehand than OT's were. ANYWAY. Not worth talking about anymore. Ninja Gaiden dominates the day of this I am certain! I'm with Red Sox here - I don't think the XBox games will help it's day vote all that much. Though I think Gaiden is a slight favorite for 2nd. My thoughts haven't really changed much since even before the start of the match though, match is pretty close. I always just guesstimate and triple the gap. Beats doing actual math. Actually that's about the same thing I do, triple the gap. The math is pretty easy though - 50/50 vs. say 13% here, so 50/13 is just under 4. So quadruple I think (assuming equal total votes for the match), unless my logic is flawed . --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

Once again: Oregon Trail received a grand total of 938 votes from the
part of the world that is "not North America" And when that part makes
up 20%, you have a big problem. It is unfortunately impossible to use 2008 geolocational stats to say anything coherent about Ruy Harabusa/Ninja Gaiden in Europe as he was the benefactor of being grouped with Zero. --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |

And I don't believe anyone brought up the "other countries vote too" factor too much yesterday but correct me if I'm wrong. It was widely discussed actually. That OT would only have strength in North America, because no one outside the US and maybe Canada had heard of it. Only reason people knew of it was cause American kids played it in school. ....And lost in all this is that SMB has hit 67%. Hey, I think SMBeast is doing terrific. And you're right - SMB's performance here is by far the most important thing in the match. Because SMB's strength is *very* important for chain reactions - beyond just this division. It's going to affect the paths of LoZ, SMB3, and FF4. I think SMB is one of the most important entrants in the contest. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |
