Pfft, i don't buy that. Evidence?

Actually don't bother, even if you found some examples to support your theory i would assume there are examples that counter it, but i'm too lazy to look for them so let's just drop it.

Alucard and Castlevania


There was actually a match where Castlevania handily won the day over something that doesn't have an even worse day?

Summer match, right?

Well I'll be, it continued going up during the morning! And Halo only gained 1.5% after 9 am came around until the end of the match!

And looking at it's next match against Kingdom Hearts, only a 2.5% drop too after 9 am. KH still swung around 4600 votes though from CV's peak to the end.

Yeah, I was wondering about this too. The morning vote should have started by now, but LttP and DKC are still slowly dropping, while both Doom and SoR still have their percentage increasing.

Of course, we could just say that both Doom and SoR have a better morning than LttP and leave it at that. But I doubt many would agree to that!

10 votes now. Good to see Doom came all the way back. Oh, and the BSV/ASV haven't been very strong for a while now; I think probably a lot of people are on spring break, so we're probably closer to summer/weekend trends, in which the morning vote starts later and the day vote is less pronounced, being spread through the whole day instead of concentrated in a few hours.

I remember that match, people thought Halo was going to come back despite getting crushed. There still massive vote shifts in that match and against Kingdom Hearts.

Yeah, the shifts weren't that different from what happened in its match with Kingdom Hearts. May as well use that as an example too. It's not Halo's fault it was simple too weak to overcome the hurdle(and that its power hour was like, the best time of the day for it)

If Doom holds on, it's still got a great shot next round. Its 25% on LttP right now is nothing to scoff at when knowing the next round will be a Nintendo lovefest.

Doom taking off now. There's some powerful trend differences between DKC and Doom apparently. Good stuff.

And yeah, I'm not gonna try and say how strong I think DKC is based on this match with LttP stuck with it.

I'll take SM to beat SMK handily there. SM is the definite favourite for me in that round.

I'm not sure if we're going to be seeing another scenario like this one. Ocarina of Time is up against non-Nintendo stuff almost exclusively, and we all expect SMB3 to cost Sonic its next match. If Super Metroid was in DKC's place right now, you're right, I think Doom would be doomed. I really believe next round will be different, though. Metroid will be getting hit from both sides, and Doom will stand out a lot more.

LttP's scoring 74.89% against Doom and 75.29% against DKC. Looks like Doom's faring well against a game that's just a bit weaker SFFed than SFFed Super Metroid. And next match it goes up against SFFed Super Metroid and a game that will leech votes from it!

I think Doom's looking good to advance in Round 2, granted it advances Round 1 first.
