From: The n00b Avenger | #145 It's a shame, though being able to compare just any two/three games would be a nice feature, hint hint. As would displaying the percentages each game is getting on the other, though that would take six or twelve columns depending on whether you only displayed one percentage or both or whatever. But I'd be all for some kind of thing where you could check which columns you want to see from the updates and just see those. Probably a bit too much work to implement, and creativename probably has bigger things to worry about (like fixing the site's incredible slowness), but worth a mention. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Sorry but if DKC hasn't made a good enough comeback by now it's done.

the only thing Doom will be getting without a problem is the night
vote... which starts at like 10. DK will have all ASV to cut this and
get a lead building. Evening will probably be a stall fest, night vote
will favor Doom, but if it's really close the last hour is all about
who's willing to rally harder. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

So I'm just estimating here, but is SoR2 getting about 30% on Doom/DKC?
Thats alot better then I expected of it as a cult genesis game, I
thought it would get below 5% --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #159 67.49% on Doom, 67.26% on DKC, 86.52% on LttP. Not bad at all for a Genesis game. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Never played SoR2 on Genesis, but I did play my friend's copy on the 360. 1v1 is fun, though beat-em-ups aren't my genre. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

I think on Gamefaqs though, Phantasy Star 4 would likely be the
strongest non Sonic Genesis game. Too bad its up against stiff RPG
competition tomorrow that'll make it look bad. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

Well I wish Shining Force 2 would be the strongest (its one of my top 3
games), but I just can't see a strategy rpg thats even less known then
Phantasy Star 4 in general being stronger! --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

From: The n00b Avenger | #171 Sounds about right. From: MyWorldIsCrono | #170 Shining Force doesn't seem that unknown. I actually knew about it despite not owning a Genesis, while I never even heard of the PS series until after I got on the internet. Plus SF had a GBA remake that was well-publicized compared to whatever remakes PS might have had that I haven't heard about and the MMO few people still even remember. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

But I think the fact every Genesis game outside of Sonic is fodder here
(when Genesis was about Equal to SNES in American sales) shows me that
anything not Sonic is cult on Gamefaqs. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

Being a big fan of both series (PS and SF), Phantasy Star was always
Segas mainstay RPG series, and Shining series was their more
hardcore/niche series. Thats why I'd assume PS4 would be stronger. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

Actually, now I'm curious. Shining Force VS Streets of Rage 2, who would win? I'd pick SF, but I could see good reason for SoR2 to win and maybe even be the favorite. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

I'd take SoR2 over Shining Force 1. Shining Force 2 would win though because its known as the better of the two by far. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

DKC's last three updates are noticeably higher than earlier updates,
but I'm not gonna call shenanigans quite yet since it could be some
vote trend kicking in. Doom seems constant enough. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Theres no reason they should both be going up this much during ASV and knocking Zelda down in percentage without cheating Unless people are checking the results and seeing "oh hey it's a close match" and voting for one of the two. We've already seen in 4-ways the far and away obvious winner not performing up to expectations, and still being just as strong as anticipated in later rounds. I'd expect this to be even more the case in intense battles for 2nd. Also, did bacon ever post a topic about yesterday's match? --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

From: XxSoulxX | #188 Because if he made a topic about battetoads in a match that wasn't even close, he's set a precident.

He can't just ignore close matches with possibility of lots of cheating now No, he posted it because someone (I believe HaRRicH) asked him if something was going on. The next time he posts about that will be when he finds cheaters and removes votes. --- ertyu is actually a language.

Why would he? Because he made a topic about battletoads when no one
gave a damn about the match... you'd think when there's outright talk
of vote stuffing going on, and one of the wonkiest "trends" we've ever
seen in a match he'd at least say "all is clear." You can take it as
he's keeping a close eye on the contest if you want, but I honestly
don't trust bacon enough to assume such. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

I dunno why people are saying DKC is going up for no reason its time
for the ASV to start kicking in people are just getting home now.
Combine that with a close match that some people will check before
voting = DK eating both Zelda and Dooms percentage. Whether he can keep
it up remains to be seen but its not like this is completely out of
left field... --- Nominate Rydia for this years Character Battle! |
