Trigger fell off 40 votes from its previous update, while Mario stayed steady. That's Trigger dropping, not Mario spiking.


-shrug- mario spiked in percentage that update while CT stayed relatively same

And Mario responds by taking his turn dropping off a ton of votes, while Trigger goes back to usual vote numbers.

That, meanwhile, was Mario dying and CT going back into not-dead mode.

It's only natural that games drop off in vote intake at this time of day. YI and SOTN did so too. But, it hardly matters whether Mario spiked or CT dropped off- the point is that Mario should stop trying to fight until morning!

Honestly, these two taking turns beating each other by 30-40 votes per update would be hilarious.

-shrug- mario spiked in percentage that update while CT stayed relatively same

Because every other game dropped in votes from the last update while Mario stayed the same (Well, +1). Same number of votes for Mario while the overall number of votes on the update goes down = % goes up.

I mean, you could make the argument that the fact that Mario stayed about the same counts as a spike because everyone else went down, but...

Chrono Trigger by the hour against Super Mario 64:

1:00 | 50.22%
2:00 | 51.56%

The next hour is usually a pretty good bellwether for FFVII vs. Nintendo; if CT really does have the trends it showed last round, which were amazingly similar to FFVII's, it should be a good predictor for this match's final result too.

Liking CT to win this right now, but nicely done Mario 64. Next round I'm thinking it might upset.

transience | Posted 5/15/2009 11:20:54 PM | message detail
okay, CT didn't have FF7 trends last round or any round ever. it had a good night vote (like usual) and a bad day vote (like usual). the only difference was that it didn't die at like 4am and there were better board votes for stuff that wasn't an obvious first place (plus the board likes Earthbound and stuff). this is a night vote vs. day vote match. this is CT's night vote.

red sox 777 | Posted 5/15/2009 11:24:02 PM | message detail
CT did bad in the power hour, rose through the night, paused during the morning, continued rising through the DSV, fell with the ASV, and recovered a bit with the SNV. That's.....basically exactly what FFVII did yesterday, and in round 1. The only real difference is that CT's competition in round 1 had really questionable trends themselves. I'm not expecting it to follow FFVII trends, not even close, but last round suggests it may not do too badly either.

Probably. I have a feeling FFVII is going to look really bad after that match though.

transience | Posted 5/15/2009 11:27:31 PM | message detail
I'm starting to like CT a bit here myself, but that's more because it's got a killer night vote and Mario's been big in the early vote. not because of FF7 trends or some such.

CT having FF7 trends means it's dead next round! ohhhh

__hiei__ | Posted 5/15/2009 11:27:56 PM | message detail
depends solely on how much FF7 affects it.

i'm sure goldeneye is worse for SM64 than a Yoshi's island that's performing at turbofodder level though.
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 5/15/2009 11:29:04 PM | message detail
regardless, that match next round is gonna be one of my most anticipated. should be a good one!

perhaps, CT did resist any sff in 2k4 vs ff7, but that may be because it was the final.

anyways very good performance from SM64 regardless. surely top 10 game,and IMO contender for top three with CT and LTTP (indirectly of course,directly LTTP would murder it via SFF)
transience | Posted 5/15/2009 11:32:00 PM | message detail

transience | Posted 5/15/2009 11:33:58 PM | message detail
but that assumes CT doesn't slow down at like 4-5am, something that's far from proven. either way, this match is looking good, definitely the best of the contest even if it doesn't end up close.

Yesterday's match makes me feel rather uneasy about FFVII against OOT (and I think there's a good chance both CT and SM64 exceed CT's 2004 percentage on FFVII next round). I expected rather more from it against 3 Nintendo games. It's.....lukewarm, sort of like everything FFVII has done the past 2 years.

Projection based on Crono/Vincent:

Mario wins by 12341324987 votes, this goes down as the worst contest ever.

Actually, none of those Mario/Crono projections have any real relevance due to the poll start time and trends changing, so.....we'll just have to watch the match.
