I think the pictures should tell the story here as far as the day vote. I mean come on FF4's picture is akin to the crap Kefka gets, and it's not like old square has a good day vote to begin with. Sucka's gonna dive.

So I lost a bet to creativename (yeah...hardly shocking). Like usual, I should've known better!

But MM3 is going to dive too.

As will Crystalis and RCR. So everyone should stay relatively the same.

Here's MM2 in Europe...

32%. Considering Oregon Trail was a non-entity, that's pretty bad.

Oh I can understand MM3 not doing well there, but I don't see why FF4 is expected to do better in europe then other places.

Mega Man's day vote isn't bad, though. He's not a day vote fiend but I think every entrant in this spiel is gonna be so terrible with it Mega Man wins convincingly by default.

Really? Huh, I really don't get that at all.

Made me think to do a leaderboard winner count:

Final Fantasy VII - 23
Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 18
Metal Gear Solid 4 - 3
Chrono Trigger - 1
GTA: San Andreas - 1
Shadow of the Colossus - 1
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - 1
Super Mario Bros. 3 - 1
Super Mario World - 1

3 picks for MGS4? Weird.

Probably. And usually the overnight %age swings are to a higher degree than the daytime ones.

Albion, it's Mega Man. For however much any FFIV character has dropped, Mega Man has dropped much, much, more. Mega Man 2 couldn't do better in Europe than in the rest of the World despite being against The Oregon Trail

I understand this arguement but anything MM loses during that time he'll take back during the day vote. Its not like the kiddies love almost 20 year old SNES rpgs.

FFVII doesn't need FFIV to break 50% for this to be true.

Of course it doesn't need it to break 50% for it to be true. All I was saying is that it cements it for me that nothing can beat FF7 if even one of the weakest contest entrees from the series can get 50%.

Still nobody has explained why a Square SNES RPG that was never released in Europe during the SNES days, like Chrono Trigger, is expected to do anything but lose percentage over night there.
