This is hardly Monkey Island being strong... its just that its the one that sucks the least.

Well, yeah, but you know what I meant.

I blame it on Sim City's match pic, because I need a scapegoat.

If SimCity had a better match pic...and if it wasn't Easter...then maybe, just maybe it would've won.

One was being franchised voted out the ass and also in the year of Square.

Yes because franchise votes have been terrible in this contest.

*looks at Donkey Kong, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid*

The match was pretty close I say FF has a better chance at beating SMW than Battletoads beating FF.

Shouldn't European votes be weaker because more European people are Christians compared with North Americans?

We can't really be too sure if they won mainly due to franchise votes just yet. It's quite possible they were stronger than these games already.

You can't tell me SMB3 wouldn't do better today anyway.

80.07% update for SMB3. Mission complete.

Ugh, SimCity is still struggling against Monkey Island. In a few hours from now, when most European votes have come to an almost complete halt (they'll be sleeping again), then SimCity should start making a comeback. Besides, it's only around 7:00/8:00 PM over in Europe and going to sleep then is rather early.

Battletoads shouldn't pull any shockers tomorrow; what 4chan did was pull their malarkey unexpectedly in a random eight-way poll. Now in a four-way with PoP likely to bomb and many more votes in general, Battletoads should have a much more difficult time advancing; if I remember right, it was looking to be at Contra's level in the NES-VC poll before 4chan got involved...and we saw what an LFF'd Metroid did to Contra. For all the franchise votes going on tomorrow (even PoP) and having half the options, Battletoads'll need to cheat a lot.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2789

This is its base strength. How much more can 4chan get away with? If Battletoads actually does advance, SB should have a very good case to call it out for cheating if he'd ever look for cheat-votes in a match.....

Bacon is too inconsistant. DW3 released in 1988 in japan but came out in 1992 here.... and FF came out in 1987 and released in 1990 here...

But Dragon Warrior is in the earlier division?

Yeah, DW3 was put in the bracket based on its Japanese release so why is the opposite done for Final Fantasy. Makes no sense. Pick on and stick with it Bacon

I don't see any way Sonic 2 breaks 50%. MK2 should be close to SF2 in strength, and Secret of Mana should be able to get 15% at lowest (even more if you feel it wasn't SFF'd into oblivion).
