SOTN is at 56.36% on RE right now. Time to break out the Crono/Vincent 2007 comparisons?

Question now is how long will it be until SM64 doubles SotN? It took FF7 I think 40 minutes to double MK64. Can SM64 do it faster to SotN?

I never in a hundred years thought I would be tied for first and have the 1 rank in this contest. I'm very happy to have done so well this far. My rank will probably change after this match. I have SM64 > RE instead of SM64 > C:SotN. D=

Yeah, SotN probably has this - RE's only gonna catch up much percentage-wise at this rate, and it has the best night vote in the contest to look forward to.

Still, what a drop for SotN to be forced so close to it, even counting the arguments I put forth beforehand. Not to mention both games' proximity to a SFFed KSS.

Once we get out of this power hour, Mario and Kirby are going to freefall all night long. SOTN and RE (especially RE) will end up looking much better relative to the Nintendo games.

I don't think this is SFF at all - I just thought Kirby was weak. it'll get like 12% instead of 9-10%, it's not that big of a deal.

I mean, we haven't seen SFF much at all this whole contest, why would a 2d platformer and a 3d platformer start now?

Yeah, I think SOTN's gonna be fine. RE's trends are similar to it, so I don't expect too much of a shift.

Still, Mario 64's lookin' good and SOTN's lookin' like trash. KSS is holding up well though. Maybe our second match with the last place game over 10%!

So SM64 and SotN are supposed to be close in the 2004 X-Stats, right? Granted, Goldeneye may have held up to SFF better than SM64, making SotN look better, and it is the Power Hour, but SM64 is still looking great.

Kirby's main strength to me is not Smash but the innate appeal of his design. I think he's like the opposite of Dante and gets cute votes instead of cool votes.

But hey! - if there was no MGS/RE SFF then Mario 64 is looking to be = MGS 2k4 mirite? Factor in that being MGS's worst year and that gives me as plausible an excuse as any to hop off the Goldeneye parallel train and latch on to this one!

(never mind my constant disrespect of SM64 up to this point)

Short answer: It's not comparable with this format, so it's not wise to make comparisons.

Otherwise, you end up with Mario Kart 64 looking as strong as 2004 MGS.

I'll agree in thinking that Kirby's appeal is mostly design, part Smash, and part his series, but I still don't think his strongest entry is fodder.

Yesterday's chart:

Time | FFVII | M. Kart 64 | Star Fox 64 | Suikoden | Demographic
EBV | 47.57% | 26.73% | 19.60% | 6.10% | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 51.15% | 24.59% | 17.47% | 6.78% | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 56.07% | 21.78% | 13.79% | 8.36% | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 55.31% | 24.43% | 13.41% | 6.86% | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 57.15% | 22.97% | 12.91% | 6.98% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 53.83% | 24.64% | 15.57% | 5.96% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 56.61% | 21.92% | 13.94% | 7.53% | (22:00-24:00)

FFVII's board vote and Power Hour is as bad as ever, but it's got a powerful night vote and DSV. Dropped off a good bit during the ASV, but with two Nintendo games, that's to be expected. MK64 and SF64 both have big board votes, but SF64 moreso. That's a huge dropoff between Power Hour and the rest of the match, even with the noticeable jump it made during the ASV. Suikoden is best at night and worst during the ASV, just like most cult games.

Just 7 people fell off the Top 50 today. JgCuBe, SonoMorte, menji76, Icewall42, SabinSD, bakaorochizz and Gavin_Sykes did not have FF7 > MK64 as yesterday's winners.

1 person managed to survive despite scoring half points. SlientShadow also did not have FF7 > MK64 as yesterday's winners.

1 person scored a single and survive. Former first place BinacaFreak had something vaguely similar to FF7 > MK64 as yesterday's winners.

And for lack of anything better to do (College is BOOOORRRRRING), I'll see just how many R1 matches in 2007 had an entrant fail to get 10% of the vote:

Yoshi > Knux
Cloud > Ocelot
Mario > Big Boss
Link > Bidoof
Luigi > Mudkip
MC > Yuna
Ada > Flopthier
Kirby > L-Block
Snake > Nightmare
Hayabusa > Riku
Sora > Lara
Sonic > Sub-Zero

2008 had only more R1 match with an entrant failing to break 10% than 2007 did.

Given Zelda's popularity in the US and FFVII's relative lack of popularity there, I think the chances of OoT beating FFVII in the finals in America are pretty high.
