And the lead CT struggled to get and maintain for 15 hours shall be erased in just over one hour. At least we don't have to wonder about this match most of the day. Let us all enjoy the day and do something fun or productive.

Looks like we're going to break 130,000 pretty comfortably today. If CT pulls off some miracle stalling/coming back, and there's a lot of rallying for Mario vs. Crono, we might be able to approach the votals record for this contest.

I have a very hard time believing Mario 64 can contend with LttP after this performance, so the only thing that might stop it from reaching the finals now is LoZ in the semis. Honestly, I'd still give LttP the advantage there, especially if SMW is the Mario rep.

East Coast schools are more likely to vote SM64. Once we get to to the West Coast, those schools will be more favorable towards CT. The West Coast is closer to Asia.

red sox 777 | Posted 5/28/2009 12:44:43 PM | message detail
I've never quite been able to envision Nintendo fans favoring Mario 64 over LTTP, kind of like Mario/Samus. M64 probably isn't that far off in strength, but I'd trust LTTP to win a direct match. Of course, the exact same kind of intuition told me Zelda 1 > Mario 1, and look where that led me.

You can't - what was that argument - argue for something for hours straight, and then turn around and go 'oh I was just kidding'. Unless that only applies to Persona fans and not CT fans, apparently.

Or course it was delusional. It's been since Mario started ripping CT apart with the morning vote. But as long as the probability of CT coming back isn't exactly zero (and very few things in these contests are)....

There ain't no gettin' off this train we're on!

I'm sure if you would have polled everyone here, every answer would have been "Mario 64 wins."

Ending every post with "Mario 64 is still the huge favorite but" is silly.

Mario has gained 260 votes in the last hour (2:45 to 3:45). At that rate, the 9:45 update will have SM64 ahead of CT by right at 1600 votes.

And besides, the only reason CT is losing here is because I wasn't be all pessimistic like I was during Crono/Vincent.

As soon as I start pulling out the old "oh well Mario's got this one" you can bet your britches CT's gonna make a cut!

I seem to remember calling that match about 20 times for Vincent, most of them with a delusional fanboy hope-fueled addendum. I think that match finally taught me not to look at individual 5-minute updates too much, and that blocks as big as an hour can be misleading.
