I'm thinking Doom has this, and it probably won't be too close when
we're done here. And DKC is behind Super Metroid's percentage on LTTP
and falling now, which makes a lot more sense. It had 2 really great
hours to start the match and hasn't won one since then. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

that's DK's trends. didn't happen with regular DK though, so I think it can win the ASV. I certainly wouldn't call this match. --- xyzzy http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7033/trannyanalysis.png |

And yeah, I really shouldn't call matches (every time I do it the other
game immediately starts gaining), but strange I feel more confident
about Doom now than any of the times I was calling or thinking of
calling it for Super Metroid yesterday until 11 PM. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

If that's what it comes down to, if Doom keeps pulling 53% hours from
now 'till 3, the lead would be around 800 votes by that point, which
translates to over 2000 in 1v1. Perhaps more importantly, DKC did
nothing with the morning vote, and everything from Nintendo other than
Smash that does well with the ASV does well with the morning. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Well then. In the 4 updates since I called the match for Doom, the lead
changes have been: -12, -12, 2, 0. Doom had just spend the previous 20
minutes gaining 80 votes. It's like clockwork. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

it's DK. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

Haha, go Doom. I kinda thought it was doomed
from last night, but this is good too. If Doom can survive the
DKC-onslaught today, Doom should survive to R3. SM's getting hit in two
very different directions from Nintendo/SNES-classics and
SM-SFF'd-by-LoZ:LttP was barely projected to beat Doom in 2004. Doom
will stand out and SM should be broken down... ...assuming Doom advances, dammit. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

Good to see LTTP rising again. In fact, it's gone up about half a
percent since 8- rather indicative that a lot of schools are on break
and the day vote has a lot of the characteristics of a summer/weekend
match. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Looks like I was right again, Doom took the lead overnight. Now it's time for DKC to blow away Doom with the ASV. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

all big faves have risen throughout the day. this doesn't really suggest much. but if this is a summer vote, Nintendo usually does well in the morning while shooters do well in the afternoon. this would suggest Doom's got it. I dunno though, I don't think you can say anything definitively. --- xyzzy |

From: transience | #471 The weird part is that it DIDN'T rise from 6-9, the morning vote, when Nintendo is usually pretty good. It even dropped a bit. Then after 9, when the morning vote is typically ending, it started rising >_> --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=3449&num=4 Zelda 1 went up during this time just as much as the morning, if not more. I'm willing to accept this being a half summer vote though. SMK/SM certainly suggests it. --- xyzzy http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7033/trannyanalysis.png |

Say what you will about the characters, but DKC is an iconic series. It
was released when 32-bit systems were attempting to steal the limelight
from the fading SNES era, and showed that Nintendo's system could
produce some (then) outstanding graphics. Saying nothing of the stellar
music or clever game design, DKC deserves respect. --- "I do read sometimes." Mat Cauthon, The Wheel of Time. |

Now, if DKC does advance and we get SM/SMK/DKC duking it out for second
place in R2...I gotta take SMK. It's the most unique since it's
multiplayer-heavy and a very casual spin-off, plus SM will be dealing
with another platformer in DKC. It'll be interesting to see how it goes
down, but I think SMK will improve on SM unless SM's hardcore fanbase
really pulls through...and it barely did yesterday. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

Change of pace for a second: how are people expecting MK2 to do against
Sonic 2? I just looked over the bracket and saw that...after the
beating Sonic 1 gave SF2, are people expecting Sonic 2 to beat MK2
worse or MK2 to pull a surprise? Because they can't have a close match
without Sonic 1 > Sonic 2 or MK2 > SF2..... --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

Well then call me a moron. I called MK2> Sonic 2 We have to as how much stronger Sonic 2 is than three. Also the existence of some actual competition in the form of SoM ensures less MK2 vs. Snoic 2 considerations. It doesn't split fanbases, but it does cause a lot fewer " I dont really care" votes to be split between Sonic 2 and MK2, more of which I would expect to go to sonic. --- http://www.thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=212 |

I loved DKC1 back in the day, but it was hard for me to get into the

I took MKII > Sonic 2 for a wild upset heavily influenced by my love
for Mortal Kombat. After seeing Sonic 1 demolish Street Fighter II, I
have zero hope for that upset to happen. Sonic 1 is probably the least
popular of the three, and Street Fighter II is stronger than Mortal
Kombat II (or so I'm guessing). So yeah, Sonic 2 > MKII looks to be the expected result --- 28/36 points - The Best. Game. Ever 2009 Contest NP: Zelda: A Link to the Past > Doom | http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=4 |

I don't think there's anyway MK takes down Sonic. The MK series has
gone in the gutter just as hard as Sonic has, and it was never as
popular as Sonic around these parts. I won't call anything out of
question, but I'd be really, really surprised if MK made a match out of
it. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

Too bad that despite all that, the game isn't fun at all. Fun when? Fun now? Certainly DKC has been eclipsed by more recent games in the genre, but back when it was released, it was definitely fun. I still enjoy it to this day, but I'll admit that the first one was the weakest of the three. DKC2, on the other hand... --- "I do read sometimes." Mat Cauthon, The Wheel of Time. |

Oh, don't worry, I know that now. My
problem was not giving Sonic 2 enough credit due to SMW in 2004 and
that MK2 is much more supported than MK...but when Sonic 1 cleanly
squashes SF2, it's hard not to expect Sonic 2 to improve on that
against MK2. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |
