Well i kinda expected Mario Kart to eventually jump ahead of Super Metroid.

Like the other people said, Mario Kart attracts all sorts of casuals while Metroid has more of a hardcore group.

The Wii proved there are far more casuals than hardcore gamers out there.

Then again, this is Gamefaqs, not all of the gaming industry combined. Given how the site works, a comeback from SM is not COMPLETELY impossible. It's unlikely, but its not dead...yet.

Well i'm surprised as well, apparently Super Metroid was stronger than i expected.

But it is possible that her appareance in the Super Smash Bros. series gave her a boost to combat the sports casuals.

At this point, there's only one thing left to say:

"WTF is this ****?"

I rooted for SM, but I SERIOUSLY didn't expect it to win the ASV like this, much less build the 100 vote lead I wanted at this point. This is...bizarre, really. SM SHOULDN'T be able to win the ASV against SMK, yet it's doing it. Does anybody else feel as confused as I am right now?

Still, a nice lead is a nice lead. Go SM!
HaRRicH | Posted 4/15/2009 12:06:09 PM | message detail
Wow, this is close...and another wow to SMK beating Sonic 3 by 10% right now despite SM.

Only 4 votes that time.....maybe we shouldn't call it yet. The 2:30-3:00 period is not always indicative of the ASV after all.

Okay, a 150 vote lead says "it's over, folks, come back tomorrow to see how badly DKC is crushed by LttP and how Doom sneaks past it". Unless SMK pulls off a hilariously large vote spike and halves SM's lead or something, we're done for today.
KamikazePotato | Posted 4/15/2009 12:15:53 PM | message detail
Honestly, I would probably take Doom to beat DKC before any SFF or LFF. DKC is just not going to be worth much at all.

Sonic has been known to collapse in the presence of Nintendo, so I guess it's no surprise there. So I'll say Samus actually holding up against Nintendo.

SMK just cut 8 votes off the lead. And the 2 previous updates SM gained 3 and 2 votes respectively. I knew I shouldn't have called it.
