So, does Call of Duty win tomorrow or get second? What's the general consensus?
---
Current Score: 172
Today's pick: Twilight Princess > Resident Evil 4
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 5/22/2009 10:33:18 AM | message detail
I got CoD4 > SSBB. SSBB is stronger but Mario Galaxy should hurt it enough to let CoD4 into first

Call of Duty slaughters tomorrow's match. As much as I would like Brawl (and by extension MGS4) to be a top-tier game, it's not, and Galaxy is going to drag Brawl down in a humiliating defeat.

I'm unsure. Mainly because Mario games tend to be high priority in the SFF chain which could really hurt Brawls chances. But something about COD's strength last round doesn't sit easy with me, maybe Galaxy is just extremely weak?

Yeah, let's consider a KHII comeback when it wins a 15-minute update for once. It still has 1.5 hours left of this, and I don't think there has ever been anything even close to a 2000 vote comeback on something with a decent day vote.

...KH doesn't have a good during school vote. This is a better time for night games. Frog kept on gaining on Axel during this time, too.

What I think will happen is that Brawl will still win it (barely) and Galaxy will sadly put up a terrible performance in a distant third. Chances are that most people who like Brawl also like Galaxy and vice versa, and Nintendo fans seem to drop a game for another that has a chance of winning.

If Brawl easily sffs Galaxy down, I expect Galaxy to finish 4th After its first round match, I'm not sure how far off GTA4 is from it anyway

Squall's day vote isn't bad. Sora doing what he did to him may cause you to think so, but it's not bad.

is 40% on Pokemon DP good or bad? How much do you expect RBY/GS to get on DP before SFF?

COD4 will receive a nice boost due to new hype about Modern Warfare 2. If it wins comfortably tomorrow I like its chances of making it out of the division.

Stop trying to downplay Squall's ASV so you can uphold your point about you thinking Sora's day vote isn't great. Squall didn't fall off at all with his ASV against Yoshi.

5% dropoff against Sora.

How much do you expect RBY/GS to get on DP before SFF?

Before I would have told you that it would have been a slaughtering of epic proportions, but RBY barely got 58% on GS after SFF. Barring a radical reassessing of GS's popularity, DP can't be that weak comparatively.

For the third time this topic KH's ASV is one of the best, but it isn't a tier above Halo/Smash.

I know what you mean, Call of Duty 4 has a realistic chance at winning this division.

On GameFAQs, I would have never guessed.

KH's ASV isn't a tier above Halo/Smash, sure, but Sora's is, much like Master Chief - the character trends seem to be much more pronounced than their games. Maybe a night voter feels a lot less lame voting for Kingdom Hearts than he does for Sora.

No one's saying it's above that except maybe Albion. But after watching SSBM rip face and watching Halo do nothing with the ASV the other day, you can throw Halo out of the conversation. The ASV power seems more exclusive to Master Chief.

While it wasn't said by anyone it was greatly implied. One of the reasons why Sora became famous with the ASV was because he had night vote opponents. Of course if he never did he'd still be known for having a great ASV.

You can say the same thing about Smash and Halo. You gotta throw Pokemon's ASV into the discussion here, too, I think.

charmander6000 | Posted 5/22/2009 11:05:39 AM | message detail
Well at this point KHII needs 53.5% of the remaining votes against RE4, that's about a 7% shift.

Thats what I'm hoping. This contest has been pretty dull overall. A big comeback like this would definently be more exciting then anything we've had yet.

@Somebody earlier: GoldenEye was an N64 exclusive and was actually published by Nintendo, while Resident Evil 4 was on the PS2 as well as the GCN and Wii. So GoldenEye would be significantly more Nintendo than RE4 would be.

Current discussion: I have a funny feeling that Mario Galaxy will fare well tomorrow seeing as every Mario game and every game I've beaten has been impressing so far. I also think that SSBB does not SFF SMG since most Nintendo fans prefer the latter. Then again, one Best Games for a Nintendo System List has Super Mario Galaxy only being beaten out by Ocarina of Time and Super Mario Bros., and MARIO KART WII is in fourth. Okay, screw that, but I think SSBB will be weakened a bit from last round while SMG keeps its strength from last round. I was also mousing around about the possibility that GTAIV and CoD4 (lots of 4s, whoa) share a fanbase since they're on the same three gaming systems (minus CoD4 being on the DS and PSP, heh), and that CoD4 would be hurt by SSBB like Halo was hurt by SSBM. But I stick with SSBB > CoD4 regardless. Oh well, tomorrow's match is riddled with modern masterpieces, so I don't care about the order all that much.

Which will be easy in the asv. Plus its essentially gonna have 8 or 9 hours, since even SNV shows asv trends, just not as strong

This poll has 3 of the 25 best games ever made. (1 of them top 10). Don't blame the people of GameFAQs for understanding that Half Life 2 just can't compare.

As for RE 4, that is the one I have in the top 10, and it should win, but I think I am kinda pulling for KH II right now, just because it would be a great comeback, and the strongest Non Nintendo/Square game on this site would not even make it to the round of 32, which about says everything about our demographics I think.
