Disgaea is getting 15% on Melee, a Zelda and a piece of turbofodder. That's almost as good as Laharl got on Dante and TWO pieces of turbofodder.

There's only so many Nintendo fans to go around, expect a low vote turn out.

And it has room to increase overnight as the Melee power hour dies off.

*watches Disgaea drops in percent*

Sure buddy.

Still, an obscure SRPG whose only fans are a result of Melee, and an even more obscure SRPG are both above 10%. Fire Emblem would be at like 7% if Melee was at it's 2004 levels.

And really, even if WW avoids the doubling this is still a bad performance from it. Every Crew member sans Lopen had it avoiding the doubling with room to spare, and getting more to the tune of 40% directly or so.

That deserved all its various tags, by the way.

For sure. I have SSBM putting up about 61% on WW (I wimped out and notched it down a percent before the match started), and it might end up around there. Still, I thought the 30-second call was pretty funny on your part. How does Wind Waker not bomb the board vote against Melee?

There's a difference between bombing the board vote against a loved game and getting 6% more of the votes in such a short period of time!

It should still be 60/40'd or worse, which isn't nearly as respectable as many of the Oracle picks I saw. This looks like an ugly performance relative to board expectations.

If something other than who me/you pick wins, bet is null, of course.

creativename | Posted 4/29/2009 9:27:11 PM | message detail
Surprised by Diablo II's staggeringly low prediction percent. I'd have figured more people at least took it for 2nd. But I guess that's what happens when you're against the most overbracketed franchise (Halo), and another famous game.

Impressive by Disgaea so far. I thought it might impress but this is higher than I would've guessed. Wonder if it'll be able to maintain 14+%.

This is good by SSBM but right now it's at about 66% on WW, and that's probably going to only go down. Final Fantasy X got 62% on MGS2 - MGS2 should be the weakest MGS game but I think that's more impressive than ~65% a highly SFFed Wind Waker. As long as MGS2 can hold off Kingdom Hearts I'm still liking Final Fantasy X>SSBM in the division finals, although SSBM could certainly win (especially if there really is some MGS2/FFX PS2 split; even a little split might be enough to alter the result).

I've got WoW > Halo 2, but I don't feel too comfortable about Halo after yesterday. Should still be enough for the best Halo to beat the worst MGS, especially with no KotOR in the way.

I'd rather have new fodder than old fodder which is why I supported the Deus Ex for PDS trade even though it changed nothing to the outcome of the match.

Disgaea is going to be rocked so hard once the ASV starts.
