Doom would have to be really weak to not benefit from LttP SFFing two Nintendo games and those said games LFFing each other.

And if it really is that weak, I don't see it advancing against DKC and whatever other fodder game it's against.

Doom should be stronger then 2004 since FPS are more accepted on Gamefaqs then back then.

Lol Sonic had one good update and it kills Mario Kart.

This is so.. weird. Mario Kart owning a Sonic game.

Well we've at least learned alot about Sonic today; He still has strength if facing non Nintendo opponents, but he will fold like crazy against Nintendo.

I think Doom's gonna be rather impressive this year, impressive enough to make it advancing in round 2 a lock.

Alright, Ms. Aran survived the two voting blocks I figured were probably the biggest danger to her. She'll probably spend the next five hours slowly building her lead to endure whatever the ASV brings. Even if Mario Kart stages another rally, I'd bet on the board and the power of BRACKETS keeping her in first. Once again, though, Doom couldn't have asked for anything more than this.

Vote totals are lagging behind again for today. Compared to the FF/SMW match, we are about 9000 votes behind that match at this point in time. So we might be able to break 120000 here.

Actually, on closer look it's just an anomaly. Combination of Mario Kart having an above-average update and Metroid falling a bit.

I knew from the very beginning this match would be very, very close. Mario Kart is insanely popular, and Super Metroid is, well, a classic.

I actually figured Mario Kart would be stronger then Metroid! after Metroids pathetic showings last contest (barely beating a PC FPS and getting slaughtered by SFF), I didn't have much faith in Metroid games this time around.

Sonic 3&K is awesome, but I didn't even play it fully until a few years ago. I mean, I played Sonic 3 back when it was released and beat it, but it felt like a complete step backwards from Sonic 2. Then when they released Sonic & Knuckles a little later, I was already in "meh" stage, not aware that the two were actually meant to be one game. I didn't find out about the two being one complete game until I started coming on GameFAQs years later.

Europe still seems to have the upperhand in this match. Given that this is a weekday match, there should be a lower ratio of American voters to European voters since a lot of the kiddies are still at school. If this was a weekend match, the ratio of American voters to European voters would be higher and Super Metroid would probably be pulling away from Mario Kart easier.

Looks like both Super Metroid and SMK are doing similarly well right now in whatever voting window it currently is, while Sonic's falling like a hedgehog tied to a rock.

The day vote looks about even so far; the ASV has been really weak so far this contest (possibly due to Spring Break?), so there probably won't be any major shifts there. So, I'd give a slight advantage to Super Metroid, since it still has the lead.

you don't go from 120 votes cut in 5 updates to now losing votes, sff or not

Yes, yes you do. Variance on that order happens in EVERY SINGLE MATCH. Expect it.

If they're going to stall out like this, at least do it further away from 50/50! Metroid might be on top, but if there's no trend and its this close, nothing says Mario Kart can't steal the lead away at the end...
