hrm... this match is weird. I think Zelda will make a big recovery after this Mario Hour is over, but even then Mario 3 and World look good.

need some Zelda announcement at e3 tomorrow to save Zelda

For comparisons sake, SMW had a 10 vote lead over SMB3 last round at the freeze

SMB3 actually had a 10 vote lead over SMW at the freeze.


And SMB3 gets a cut there. Looks like SMW won the board vote, while I expect SMB3 to have more bracket support.

Ah, here we go. Should be a SMB3>SMW or vice versa finish from here on out (hoping for the former so I get half points).

Zelda 1 is dead now. Had Zelda 1 been able to advance, iot may have hurt Lttp enough to allow SMW to slip by. Now we have Lttp guaranteed a spot in the finals which guarantees FFVII a victory. Good job you reckless Nintendo fans. FFVII/SMW/OoT/FFX may have given OoT a very slim chance.

MetricTrout | Posted 6/1/2009 9:12:39 PM | message detail
At least I can agree with this as a fan. Kinda hurts my bracket, but Mario 3 and Mario World are both awesome games that put Zelda 1 to shame.

Wylvane has always had the best opinions in this thread.

SMB3 will need to build up a lead overnight in order to last long enough for the ASV to arrive. Last round, SMW was winning the late night vote and morning vote as Europe preferred that game to SMB3.

After seeing SMB3/SMW last round and SMW leading SMB3 so far in the early-going of this match, please, BT, I encourage your to elaborate.


Anyway, I thought LoZ would do better than this, but SMW looking better than last round (so far, anyway) isn't a big shocker. Say what you will about the argument for overlap in this poll, but SMB1 and LoZ do each have more in common with SMB3 than SMW and we saw SMB3 barely beat SMW last round. If this continues, SMW probably returns the favor and barely beats SMB3 today. Time'll tell though.....
