Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 671

the other two games are weak as hell. SF2's doing what you'd expect of a mid-tier game -- Sonic's just a wee bit better.

again, this is franchise voting at its finest. when you put Mario and Sonic together next round, you're gonna see SF2 benefit.

Either way, I think this puts the "Sonic sucks due to the format, not his arsenal of ****y games" argument to rest. Which is great, because I hated that one.

Why the **** did Castlevania do so well in the Series Contest?


SOTN. I thought it was obvious.

Why the **** did Castlevania do so well in the Series Contest? Other than Alucard/SoTN it has bombed at every available opportunity!

Collective power maybe? Having a game on almost every system must have added up for the win.
HaRRicH | Posted 4/10/2009 9:07:22 PM | message detail
Wow, Sonic...stop going nuts now. If SF2 doesn't turn this around QUICK, then it's going to fall out come daylight.

Shame on CV3, too!

Not really. Depends on if this is all board vote. If SF can build a decent lead overnight, it has a great chance with the day vote tomorrow.

This is about as over as it gets in the first five minutes, I think. Sonic day vote vs. Street Fighter day vote? No thanks

pre-SOTN Castlevania is weak here. Castlevania just didn't exist to this site until SOTN. I'd take all the DS games over Castlevania 3, probably.

I mean, shouldn't Simon Belmont getting killed have sent the message loud and clear? and that's Castlevania 1, not 3 - you know, the more popular of the two games.

Horrible for CV III. Looks like the NES CV games have no strength.

OK for SFII, but real good for Sonic so far. Too early to call though.

Sonic 1 was a fantastically fun though, and SFII as well - but I voted for Civ 1 here, I probably played that game for more hours than any other.

I have a feeling that actually having a solid mainstream release is really going to help Street Fighter's normally terrible day vote.

SF vs. Sonic is ultimate night vs. day match - SF probably cuts a bit overnight but when 7am comes it'll be over for SF2.

But it looks like it won't be getting that padding to take care of the Bad Taste vote in the early morning.

I expect Sonic to win the night vote and SF2 to win the day vote and pull a Duck Hunt run to catch up to Sonic only to fall short.

Hell, it'd make as much sense as everything else so far.
