If not higher. And Mario day vote WILL be hurt by Goldeneye being there, mark my words.

Is there any proof that this exists? If Goldeneye hurts Mario's Day Vote, why wouldn't it hurt Chrono Trigger's even more?

Goldeneye and Mario 64 are two of the biggest N64 games. CT is a Square game

How would they overlap?

Mario isn't putting up much resistance at all. CT should kill the night vote much more than last round based on this.

There has never been any evidence presented that being in a poll with another day vote game hurts the day vote of those who traditionally win it.

If Goldeneye has such a powerful day vote that it is stealing percentage away from SM64, there's no reason to think it wouldn't be stealing *even more* away from Chrono Trigger.

Mario 64 hasn't had an update over 24% since 25 minutes into the match, so yeah, CT is steamrolling it.

Hmm....I'm tied for 161th place right now (what?). I wonder if I'll be able to get into the top 100 tomorrow- I figure most of the brackets at the top backed Mario given that they're up there because they've presumably backed Nintendo a lot so far. Too bad I had to pick Starcraft to go far.

Don't want to jinx it, but I really like CT here. It will probably pick up 400ish this hour, and a similar number the next hour. It'll probably get to 1500ish by morning, since Mario 64 sucks at Europe too.

Busts out CT main theme.

By the way, this is the most votes at the end of the Power Hour since FFVII's round one match.

It's a good thing that E3 will be coming up in a few days from now. E3 starts on June 2nd, which is the day of the first round 4 match (SMB/LoZ/SMB3/SMW). Once E3 starts, the gaming news announcements will increase site traffic which will help the votals out. Good thing, because we can't have the final match disappoint in votals.

Square fans, don't goof this up now.

To amass a 1500 vote lead by morning (6:00), CT needs to gain 24.2 votes per update.

Yay!

Also, considering the entrants...am I the only one who picked LoZ over SMB3 in this match? It felt like a stretch at the time, but now I'm feeling pretty good about it.

CT doesn't need 1500 by morning though. 1000 should suffice- it'll lose a bit with the morning and then gain a bit with the DSV to get up over that 1100 I'm pegging Mario's ASV potential as. Or it can be like FFVI yesterday and lose nothing with the morning and gain nothing with the DSV, which accomplishes the same thing. If this is close in the end.....

It's Chrono Trigger, but it's also Mario, the grand master of close matches himself.

Last round was a weekend match, so we can certainly see some different trends here. I don't think CT is doing well enough yet, but we'll see if it starts gaining more in an hour or two.

I'm think it'll need to be 1500 at least.

53% is an important mark- Mario gained about 3% from CT's peak to the end last round. I reckon he'll do a bit less today, but I'd feel much better if CT could get to 53% on SM64 overnight.

Looking at last match, CT really began to pick up the pace around 1:30.
