So which Halo do you guys think is going to be the strongest? I hope it would be Halo 3 because that would be awesome.

But this match is starting to get me thinking that Fallout 3 > Mass Effect is a real possiblility.


Halo I'd believe is the strongest of the 3.

Perhaps Master Chief's day vote is better than Halo's day vote. The only other times we've seen "Halo" in a match:

Halo/Starcraft: Halo had a tiny lead on Starcraft at the beginning of the ASV and extended it to 1100 before Starcraft came back and overran it with its insane rally-powered second night vote. 1100 votes in 1v1, starting from a more or less tied match.....not that impressive.

Halo/Castlevania: Halo's comeback against Castlevania failed to materialize.

KOTOR should have better second night vote though, and if its only enough to barely take the lead, thats not enough. Especialyl since I'm sure this board would love to see Halo be knocked out if you know what I mean.

Okay, new Halo cut. It's taking down that lead, but very, very, VERY slowly. It needs to start taking out 20 votes or so if it wants to come back.

Aaaaand Halo's done it! The lead is below 500 now (at 499...MC is screwing with me here). Now it's really looking like a comeback. I'd like for KotOR to win, but still, I'll be happy if Chief wins after a long and hard comeback.

I'm not sure about it. Chief is going sloooooow, and we don't know how well KotOR does at night. Halo needs to start cutting thirty votes per update before we can call it over, or KotOR needs to completely BOMB its night vote. Given how terribly Halo collapsed collapsed when only 5 hours were left, I'll have to see how it does then before calling the match.
The Mana Sword | Posted 4/29/2009 1:15:31 PM | message detail
No no, it needs to start cutting 50 votes an update if it wants to come back.

No wait, 100 votes an update!

"No no, it needs to start cutting 50 votes an update if it wants to come back.

Nah, joke aside, thirty votes will do nicely if it doesn't just stop gaining votes completely at night or KotOR gets a surge. Given how slow this is going, thirty votes will probably look like Halo is finally using its GAME FUEL.

Let's see.... 456 votes to go. At 30 votes per update, the match would be tied in...15 updates or so.

...Nah, Halo is screwed. It needs to go berserk to win this.
The Mana Sword | Posted 4/29/2009 1:20:39 PM | message detail
Halo is doing fine. If it keeps the pace it's going at it will win this no problem.

440 votes left, and only a 16 vote cut. Damn!

Don't trust Halo to win this without at least doubling or tripling its gains, folks. Both MC and Halo collapsed in an almost comical fashion 19 hours into the poll, and their opponents took a pretty easy win after that. Halo has three hours before it starts going down, and, at this rate, its not going to make up the lost ground fast enough.

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/StarCraft_vs_Halo_2004

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Frog_vs_Master_Chief_2004

Look for that part where the write-up goes "...right?" on MC vs. Frog. That's what might happen once the three hours are up, and if Halo doesn't have a BIG lead by that point, it's gone. I'd put it at... 800 votes, probably.
The n00b Avenger | Posted 4/29/2009 1:29:44 PM | message detail
Uh... you mean when we ran on Pacific time? Well yeah, that's the same as like 10 PM Eastern, the start of the second night vote. And it's no collapse it's just doing worse with the 2nd night.

To be fair, there are some really big Star Wars communities out there. Whether or not they care enouhg is a different story, though.

I'm not going to contest this, but it just sounds so hilarious to claim that one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time (that has STAR WARS on the cover) has less rally power than a ****ing Frog. <3 GameFAQs.

Nope, it doesn't have it...but Halo collapsed hilariously back in the day, and MC did the same, so why should we expect it to do different now? Given how slowly Halo is going, and how consistently KotOR is doing, Halo will need a bigger push to win this.

Because the circumstances that caused the "collapse" are no longer in place, maybe?

We'll see. I don't think we have any reason to think it WON'T crumble. I'll admit we don't have any reason to think it will, but we also don't have any reason to think it'll change its behavior radically.
Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 4/29/2009 1:39:18 PM | message detail
KotOR is holding up pretty well here. Just too bad that it didn't build up a larger lead, around 1000 and it would've had a pretty good shot.

That's a good point. Games are different from characters, but the matches I posted showed an uncanny similarity. We'll see if Halo has changed as much as MC soon, anyway. There's about two hours and twenty minutes left now.

It's even before 4-ways... every match with Master Chief since the time zone shifted tells us Halo won't collapse.

Guys - never listen to a word Harrich says from now on. The man is illiterate!

Simmer down, Mister Halo > SW:KotOR In My Bracket! =P

Thanks again for the spared Dining Dollars, by the way.

(we met up and had lunch today with 'pooooooooooooot, and it was epically epic)


As for the match at hand...Halo's going strong, but I'm not convinced it'll ever pull away enough to keep SW:KotOR out of it. I don't trust this board in just allowing Halo to win a match like this if at all possible.

"till what?"

Last time we saw it, all those years ago, Halo collapsed 19 hours into the poll. I'm waiting to see if the game has kept its trends static or it the shift has stopped it from going down horribly like it has with the Chief. It'll be interesting to see how close the game has remained to its main character in trends.
