Maybe the Nintendo base is razor sharp. Three Mario games in the semis = FFVII looking invincible.
Mario 64 in the finals = Shocking OoT win

More updates like that Mario. Let's see, about... 32 more updates like that would be nice. Which is well within the bounds of the ASV...

Link to the Past is so screwed

Tomorrow we'll have RBY coming back with the ASV while FFX wins with the SNV, then SSBB needs the ASV to defeat TP, then all three Marios take second at one point, then FFX chokes and finally a Mario game wins the contest.

...Which would be an AWESOME end to the contest. Not gonna happen, but as long as a Mario game (SM64 preferably) advances and OoT's side of the bracket gives us at least one good match, this contest's stretch run will go down as one of the best in a long, long time.

It probably will. It lost about half a percent last round.

Well, I dunno. It'll be close. FFVII will do better overall in 4-5 hours so that'll stem the bleeding.

More cuts like that would make this match memorable.

...Good grief. One day after an older Zelda game uses the ASV to make a match interesting, another one may get buried with it. Both against Mario.

Do this, fat plumber.
I haven't even played Mario 64, but LttP is just the most overrated Zelda game ever, and I would love to see it fail.
And, I guess this would make Chrono Trigger look better, which is all that really matters.

Oops, Mario slipped up and let LttP gain 8 votes. No biggie, but it needs to keep taking off 30 votes per update if it wants to give some away.

Mario needs to stop spiking.

Rather, those spiky updates should be the norm.

What he said. It's not necessary to spike EVERY update, but he needs to do so every other update or every third one if he wants to win.

I'm not so sure its a stuffer here. Don't games and characters alike each attempt to overpower their opponents periodically while having some updates countered? It seems like what's happening to me.

HEY GANG, SB SENT THIS TO ME CONCERNING YESTERDAY'S MATCH:

Message From GameFAQs on 06/03/2009

Nothing unusual at all, no weird voting patterns, not much to say.

New voters (first visit during the poll):
SMB 10.6%
Zelda 31.1%
SMB3 27.7%
SMW: 30.6%

Final 10000 votes:
SMB: 9.98%
Zelda: 29.3%
SMB3: 28.1%
SMW: 28.0%

New user votes in the final 10000:
SMB: 10.3%
Zelda: 29.8%
SMB3: 29.3%
SMW: 30.6%





SB says SMB3 won legitimately.

At least he checked, but the final 10,000 votes covers like the last three hours. The second night vote traditionally gets less than 10,000. The sample is too large to catch any cheating. Not to say he didn't check a smaller sample or anything.

and one that's not tainted like yesterday's! this could be the match of the contest.

Wait 'til 11:45.
