Sonic is pretty strong in the dead zone too. If SF2 can't get going quickly, it's not going to get out to much of a lead before morning hits.

Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests.

Isn't SFII going to wreck Sonic with the dead zone though?

Sonic isn't going to be making any day vote comebacks with a Mario game in the poll.

I believe we're entering Sonic's worst time period, but Sonic should take the morning easily. SMB3 did the worst in that time frame too, so it should be Sonic's (and Monkey Island's) time to shine.

That said, I'm more concerned about the day vote. Sonic was doing better than SF2 there last time, but with SMB3 I start wondering if Sonic shouldn't be looking for the day to finish any comebacks, and instead better make sure it happens in the morning... which it should, but...

All that said, if Sonic can keep stalling SF2 like it is right now, then it's not going to matter, and Sonic should have this pretty easily.

I'm happy about this match. It proves once and for all SFF between Sonic and Mario, and we can finally laugh at the remaining stragglers who think Mario World's win over Sonic 2 was somehow legitimate.

I love the Europe vote. In the last 40 minutes MI has risen 0.35%.

Meteoritic at least.

They're just so sophisticated.

To me this doesn't exactly prove SFF between the two and I'm actually a supporter of that theory. It's possible Sonic just owned up the apathy vote last round.
---
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

I was expecting a lot more SFF than this. I was expecting this to be one of the standard setters for game SFF. It's still there - Sonic will go from 55.5% on Street Fighter II to substantially less (maybe even under 50%, although it's looking unlikely), and it's all because of Mario 3. Perhaps I was crazy to think Street Fighter could go from 44% to 55%+, especially since it's also gotta have overlap with Mario, but I think "apathy voting" is far less realistic than just attributing it to SFF. I doubt Sonic would be down right now if we replace Mario 3 with, say, FFVII.

14.79% and rising!

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

Monkey Island got a 15.32% update within the last hour. Earlier in this topic, I said I would be surprised if it could get a 15% update or better against this tough fourpack. Aim for 20%!

Hah, MI is coming closer and closer to a stall. Meanwhile, Mario 3 is getting hammered. Another hour to go before the early morning vote, so there is a chance we see it dip under 47%. This is a lot worse than I expected.

:D

And that IS a stall by Monkey Island on Sonic.

It lost 5 votes that update.
---
Awwww yeah.

So SF2 built a 200 vote lead with the night.

What a great performance
---
A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

hmm not many chances left for a MI 3rd (or 2nd) place update. i thought it might happen.

More importantly, Monkey Island is now at 15.59% on Mario 3 and STILL RISING.
---
So it's getting 57.82% on Round 1 Monkey Island.

Ever think a predominantly PC based Sim City might just have affected MI slightly? <_<;

15.79% on Mario 3 or 58.13% on R1.

The day votes stupefying strength will shatter MI's ulna into a million pieces!

Godamnit, Sonic. Either take 2nd place already or just roll over and die.

Street Fighter II's strongest time peaks at 5:00, when just after it had a 209 vote lead.
Sonic's peak time begins in an hour and its already eating into the lead. It's a sure thing the blue blur wins.

game, SF's gonna be down like 800 votes by noon

Yeah the Sonic day vote is here. It's still getting SFFd to hell by a Mario 3 in the way, but it still has enough to win second place.

I wonder if Mario World and SMB3 split each other down the middle next round and Sonic maintained its usual ~25% split from its hardcore audience if it could have an outside shot.

I wouldn't call it impossible, but whichever final fantasy that advances tomorrow (probably 4) is going to have a pretty crazy advantage on it, being the game that's least likely to suffer from any sff and all. Sonic is definitely showing itself to be quite capable of minimizing sff damage here anyways.

I've always thought of Sonic characters and games of having a small core audience of about a 20-25% share but also with a large casual pull from the Nintendo base that'll favour it against non-Nintendo. I think Nintendo's influence on it is best described as stunting rather than complete SFFing, I'd never expect to see a Sonic game or character SFF'd into the ground by Nintendo like Metroid would for example.

And Sonic finally takes back second place. I think it's pretty safe to assume it won't be in danger of losing it from any point here on out.

Looks like I was wrong about Monkey Island weakening Sonic's morning vote. Monkey Island is doing worse now than it was when we were in the dead zone (4:00 AM to 6:00 AM EST).

Yep, Sonic's ahead. Being ahead by ten thousand votes last round assured 2nd place here.

This also makes Kingdom Hearts look better against Final Fantasy X.

Does Sonic 2 have a chance to place 2nd in it's match in a couple days?

If Sonics morning vote continues to be so bad that its allowing a game series that lost the morning vote to PERSONA to make a good amount of cuts, this match isnt over.

eh, SFII may make some cuts during the DSV, but Sonic 1 has the ASV and all he needs to do is build a large enough lead so the SNV doesn't kill him.

Well, Sonic 2 managed a higher vote total than Link's Awakening, but only about 5,000 votes more, and methinks Link's Awakening can SFF enough to avoid that.

lol vote totals

I use to side with FFIV > FF1 but with Mario 1's great performance, being the founder game of the series may really be worth more than I thought. I'd probably take FF1 to be stronger indirectly but I still don't know about a head to head match
