Good night vote by FFVII. Might be able to stay above 56% by the end of the match.

I'm starting to think that the 4-way format was more of a lame excuse to get more turbofodder in the contest. Except for Pong, the last place game got massacred in EVERY SINGLE MATCH so far.

And by massacred, I mean getting single-digit percentage. Though Mario 3's match was with three no-names...

Thats because of generations. If we truly got the 128 strongest, we wouldn't have as much turbofodder.

For what it's worth, FF7 is getting 88.35% on Suikoden now compared to 85.63% on Suikoden 2 in 2004. Not bad!

Also, I expected SF64 to keep it closer than this. It was never going to be close to MK64, but...man, it deserved better.

I didn't expect much out of Star fox! This was my prediction before the match:

FF7: 60%
MK64: 22%
Star Fox 64: 14%
Suikoden: 4%

I just underestimated suikoden =\

70% and 75% is nowhere near a tripling.

Anyway, what would everybody expect Diddy Kong Racing to do here? Close match?

Eh, I'm not so sure if Diddy Kong Racing would be fodder. It was about as big as SF64 if you ask me.

If you want to look at DKC2, well, I figure SF64 would have done more or less the same as it anyway.

Yoshi's Island probably does the best in Europe in that match. Not that it'd be any good in Europe normally, and Nintendo tends to die during those hours, but Europeans will look at the games, not recognize any of them, and vote for Mario. But hey, Europe has supported every SNES RPG so far except for SMRPG. CT just came out in Europe....why not? Yes Chrono Trigger Mega Boost BELIEVE.

way to suck with the asv ff7

I've can't remember a time that ff7 fell this much during the asv... at this pace it might go to mid 54s by the end of the asv

Whatever FF7 loses with the ASV it should pick up with that killer SNV
red sox 777 | Posted 4/20/2009 1:02:10 PM | message detail
It faltered with the ASV in just about every match last year (and not just against Crono and Snake, though those were the most notable cases). FFVII's ASV seems to have fallen off a bit last year, or perhaps its late night/Europe vote became stronger, but either way, it no longer quite rises through the whole day against opponents with strong ASVs. It's second night vote is still amazing though, so hopefully it'll be able to hang onto or get back to 55%.

Hey, it's possible. You're forgetting that:

1) This game needed b8 to get in. Why is that if it's considered the best DKC?
2) It's definitely no DKC, so it's closer to Star Fox than it is to DKC.

Not guaranteed, but it wouldn't surprise me.

SF64 > DKR for sure (the Rumble Pack Factor!). We've seen Diddy Kong and DKC2 bomb, and we don't have reason to believe any racing game not named Mario Kart wouldn't do poorly here; even the F-Zero's and the Gran Turismo's would likely fall short to lots of games. Also...

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2647

...though it's a port of DKR, another port is blowing it out to win the poll. In a poll with crap-competition, DKR performed like crap.


That said, DKR will always have a place in my heart. Gotta love the missiles and hover-crafts!

Yoshi's Island is going to win that poll in Europe, unless CTDS did more than I'm expecting.
CT and EB share the emulation fanbase, and I don^t know how big that is to begin with.
Hell, I won't be surprised if YI breaks 50% in Europe.
