Maybe the Nintendo base is razor sharp. Three Mario games in the semis = FFVII looking invincible. Mario 64 in the finals = Shocking OoT win --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance. I even had it coming in first. MWC>Yo Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be.....LIKE MWC!!! |

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 --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

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. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: FFVII > LoZ: LttP Points: 291/416 |

...Wow. FF7 could fall below 40% at this rate. It probably will. It lost about half a percent last round. Well, I dunno. It'll be close.

Ha, Mario 64 gained 102 votes on FFVI that time, more than FFVII gained on LTTP. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

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.

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. --- A pro isn't someone who sacrifices himself for his job. That's just a fool. - Reno, FFVII |

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. |

Mario's got a weird ASV. spike drop spike drop still liking LttP, Mario's gotta be more consistent --- no space all business |

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. |

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. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
