What
kind of lead would MGS need to weather the day vote? RBY doesn't have
that great of one (comparatively), but it's still Pokemon vs. MGS. I'll feel safe with 1500 by morning. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: LoZ: OoT > MGS Points: 219/320 |

Heh,
more people with FFVII in first this round than there were last round.
Definitely helps a lot being one of the top two options. --- FastFalcon and Solid Snake snapped my neck in the guru contest. |

RBY looks good here, but MGS is far from out of it. FFVIII probably is, even with its awful board vote that's quite a deficit. In the GS match, GS hung with MGS for the first five minutes and then promptly collapsed until the day. Last round, though, RBY was super Power Hour fueled. --- RPGuy netbook remix |

Think it's safe to say Pokemon comes in last here, or very close to it. Looks like R/B/Y is out of this top 10 talk (thank god) and MGS is back into the top 5 talk --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

Pokemon did lead OoT for a brief. I caught these two poll results: Metal Gear Solid 19.54% 17 Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow 39.08% 34 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 25.29% 22 Final Fantasy VIII 16.09% 14 TOTAL VOTES 87 Metal Gear Solid 21.05% 32 Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow 29.61% 45 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 34.87% 53 Final Fantasy VIII 14.47% 22 TOTAL VOTES 152 OoT quickly took the lead during that short amont of time. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

yeah, that's one. I wonder how much it hurt RBY though - if MGS does indeed win this, it'll have only been hurt a few percent. --- xyzzy http://img.imgcake.com//chewing.jpg |

And
looks like FF7 > OoT is basically confirmed. I'd definitely take
Mario/CT/Goldeneye over this pack, although it would be close. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

Looks like R/B/Y is out of this top 10 talk (thank god) and MGS is back into the top 5 talk MGS was never in Top 5 talk, but I hope whatever result we get puts the talk of MGS4 > MGS to rest.

"MGS

Expecting
OoT to probably stay about the same percentage is now once the match is
done. OoT typically has a good early vote compared to other top games. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/scorpion_wb.jpg |
Lopen | Posted 5/28/2009 9:12:13 PM | message detail |
Eh.
I wouldn't be so confident in MGS here. That was still a 19 vote gain.
I expected Pokemon to drop a bit more than that honestly. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
transience | Posted 5/28/2009 9:12:48 PM | message detail |
I
still like MGS4 over MGS. this isn't really all that inspiring, beating
a flop of a game and a game that's got a pretty bad opponent in OOT. RBY for top 5 maybe --- xyzzy http://www.mistwalkercorp.com/en/_src/sc569/HNI_0022.jpg |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 5/28/2009 9:13:06 PM | message detail |
MGS
needs a 1500-2000 vote lead here overnight. Without another pokemon
game in the poll, RBY should look a lot better at day I'd think. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/scorpion_wb.jpg |

Karma Hunter | Posted 5/28/2009 9:13:54 PM | message detail |
I
don't mean to disparage RBY's chances (okay, well, I do), but it had a
monstrous Power Hour last time around. I'm okay with some vote gains,
as long as the damage is kept to a minimum. --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

RBY
for top 5 talk sounds like a 10 minute in reaction. Pokemon's going to
drop hard from here on -- it did last round once we got out of the
Power Hour, and I don't expect it to be any different here, especially
with Ocarina around. --- http://i41.tinypic.com/30djz83.gif |
charmander6000 | Posted 5/28/2009 9:14:20 PM | message detail |
Eh.
I wouldn't be so confident in MGS here. That was still a 19 vote gain.
I expected Pokemon to drop a bit more than that honestly. Considering RBY went from +54 to +19 MGS will at least lead at one point. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: LoZ: OoT > MGS Points: 219/320 |

From: transience | #483 Why though? It's not like MGS4 has gone above and beyond our expectations. I can buy it being the second strongest due to all the emotion it brought via ending the story arc, but above the original? It has to give Brawl a very respectable performance before I buy that. --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance. I even had it coming in first.

iGenesis | Posted 5/28/2009 9:15:13 PM | message detail |
Have to agree with Drakzeel. ...Cue MGS4 scoring 60% on its match. :P People tend to vote for series, not games. And MGS4 would be an easy finalist if it weren't for Smash (Brawl), which enjoys the advantage of having an extremely rabid, superficial fanbase that cares about character representation over actual gameplay quality and production values. --- GameFAQs.com: You make the content.
