GoldenEye would win the dead zone vote simply because its opponent is SMRPG.

Heh. This makes my Perfect Dark upset look pretty bad if this holds.

SMRPG can grow, but if Goldeneye really wasn't too far away from it... then Perfect Dark could have possibly struggled with G/S/C if Xenogears is even = to Secret of Mana.

Should I expect Brawl to break 50% in its first match? GTA4 wasn't well-received on GameFAQs, SF4 may be weak since SF2 seems to be, and Persona 4 is just a Tales stand-in.

GTA4 should easily get 30-35% on Brawl.

Yesterday's chart:

Time | MKII | S. of Mana | S. Force II | Sonic 2 | Demographic
EBV | 30.97% | 24.76% | 6.30% | 37.97% | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 30.89% | 25.25% | 6.38% | 37.47% | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 29.25% | 28.02% | 6.69% | 36.05% | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 27.39% | 27.84% | 6.32% | 38.46% | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 30.15% | 25.39% | 6.43% | 38.02% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 31.18% | 25.14% | 6.39% | 37.28% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 30.62% | 25.94% | 7.09% | 36.34% | (22:00-24:00)

The early morning vote was unkind to MKII, but other than that, over or around 30% for the rest of the time. Great night and early morning vote for SoM, and around 25% the rest of the way. Shining Force was pretty consistent throughout the match. Sonic 2 didn't shift TOO much, but the night time was easily his worst time.

Yesterday's stats:

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 – 50.00%
Mortal Kombat II – 44.65%
Secret of Mana – 41.13%
Shining Force II – 14.82%

Odd, MKII did best in the ASV, which I had thought would be one of its bad times.

MKII is casual bait. Why would it do poorly in the ASV? Remember when Sub-Zero barely let MC budge at all?

By barely budge at all, I think you mean cut almost 2000 votes off a 4000 vote lead. We just had absurd expectations for Chief's ASV.

If Mario Kart 64 does advance tomorrow and somehow Paper Mario exploits franchise votes enough to beat Metroid Prime, we'll have every single Mario game advance to Round 2.

God damn would that be awesome.

I guess this shows really how old Golden Eye is. Everybody over 20 would have played and loved that game, but because it wasn't really that spectacular and groundbreaking, like for example Half-Life. The teen voters will probably have a hard time relating to it. With the 20+ voters, I'm sure GE is the most popular N64 game after OOT. I'm starting to think it was a major mistake to pick GE over MK64 in the next round, but GE could have a shot, thx to Mario RPG. I just can't see Mario RPG competing with Mario Kart 64, but MRPG will probably steal some of the Mario franchise votes.

You know, for all we've been dissing on GE, RE's only getting 36.15% on it an hour into this match despite. Compare that to RE1 getting 29.38% on MGS in 2004...then consider:

1) RE2 > RE1.
2) RE's bigger than ever right now.
3) MGS possibly SFF'd RE.
4) Most people would take MGS > GE.

Granted, the gap between GE and RE2 should become closer, but this isn't exactly GE's fault; it can be a number of things

I can't see Paper Mario > MP when its sequel gets smacked around by MP2 and ToS. Also, I'd say that PM1 = PM2, while MP1 >>> MP2 in terms of preference. Prime 1 should have no problem beating down Paper Mario.
