Five minutes in, this isn't exactly filling me with FFIV confidence, massive split and all.

Dude, it's a Mario game that isn't far above Earthbound getting wrecked here.

....

wat?!!

I mean, SM64 is TRIPLING SOTN now. It will go down, but it should probably still double it with ease. How is it doing *better* than the round before?!!

Mario 64 would be winning if it weren't for Yoshi's Island. I think 64 is a bit above CT nowadays.

Tied!

Let's see how this next update goes. I expect it to go in favor of CT by a good bit.

I just mean the super seven status.

Mario World and Mario 3 will split harder than these two, but I wouldn't expect it to be a crippling split or anything.

Have to give SM64 the advantage, now. CT is going to get Europe'd, and then get day vote'd.

SMW~=SM64. We already guessed that, that's not news really.

SMW isn't near SM64 league, and this is before this match even took place.

I thought it was common knowledge by now that in terms of Mario games, it goes SMB3 > SMB64 >= SMB > SMW > the rest.

Oddly, last round Chrono Trigger didn't get a single 5 minute update above what it finished with until a half hour into the match.

What happened to CT having the best board vote of anything ever?

It's obvious that Kirby Super Star hurt SM64 more than YI.

I wouldn't argue either is stronger than the other, but I don't see why they wouldn't be close.

this really isn't a great Mario 64 time, but CT shot up after the early vote last round too. I'd say this is 50/50, CT getting a nice lead, dropping overnight and in the morning, and regaining for the last few hours. should be a good match.

For as much as I hate to see SMW2:YI smashed, it's worth seeing SM64 in the lead sometime after the first minute.

__hiei__ | Posted 5/15/2009 9:10:11 PM | message detail
anyways the other two games are bombing too much.. CT is around the percentage expected (40%).

this horrid performance by SOTN makes me think there's sff going on between it and CT.which also explains why SM64 is so close...yoshi's island is really performing like turbo fodder..SoTN may be more of a burden for CT than Yoshi's island is for SM64 for all we know.

I'm thinking Mario 64 just won with that update. FFVI and FFVII both exploded in their ten minute update, and CT's going to need a big lead to deal with Mario 64 in the day.

I've been saving my vote because there's three games in my top ~10 here, but it looks like CT might need it!

Chrono Trigger is looking like it will probably be the decided underdog next round unfortunately. FF7 should hurt it a lot more than GoldenEye hurts M64. And pretty much all of Yoshi's Island's votes here are coming from M64.
