So did the Mario fanbase die of heart attacks from NSMBWii and SMG2 and are unable to vote, or are people really franchise voting here?

Well, I'm theorizing that the ASV is more skewed toward younger voters - younger voters who are not as drawn to these old Mario games and who grew up in a time where Zelda was the dominant Nintendo series. So yes, basically franchise voting, because there's no way younger kids are more familiar with the original LoZ than they are with these Marios; they're just more apathetic toward all older games.

I just gotta say this.

Zelda suddenly got a boost out of nowhere yet there was no mention of Zelda at E3. Where did this mysterious boost come from?

I leave for THIRTY MINUTES, and Zelda starts tearing into SMB3? Unbelievable. Looks like it's true: if your fans desert you, you're gonna crumble. :p

So who was that user who claimed that SMB3's lead was too big for Zelda tto comeback? Leonhart?

DO YOU REALIZE THAT JACK BAUER JUST KILLED 3 MEN WHILE HANDCUFFED, BAREHANDED, DISEASED, DRUGGED AFTER HAVING A NEEDLE STUCK IN HIS NECK???
Brandon31577 | Posted 6/2/2009 5:50:39 PM | message detail
this could effect the championship, if the 2 marios go through its FFVII,Oot,Lttp, and Smash/FFX
if zelda wins here then 2 zeldas lose to mario and FFVII next round setting up FFVII,Mario world,Oot,FFX/smash

the first option looks like walk in park for FFVII
the second could be tougher

But SMB3 had over a 1000 vote lead from Zelda. How is that calling it early?

Now Crono/Vincent 2007, there's a match which was called early.

SMB3 needs another spike, pronto. An extra thirty votes should be enough to keep it safe for a while if it keeps stalling like this afterwards.

It was called early because people were wrong and greatly underestimated Zelda's day vote or overestimated SMB3's day vote. Mario's probably still a slight favorite here though thanks to Mario's history with close matches.

Awesome. I don't have the game myself, but...

At any rate, yeah, Red Sox got us all it seems. We just HAD to call it early, and now it's biting us in the ass.
