Yeah,
I pointed out the graph with the 40% update and mentioned 11:45, but
what SB says goes, really. We don't have reason not to trust it was
anything more than rallying at this point. --- BT > Harrich lol me |

Wait 'til 11:45. by tainted I mean that Zelda had no right to be in that match, being the weakest game and all. this one is as legit as you can get with fourways. --- xyzzy http://penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090603.jpg |

If my calculations are correct (and they're probably not, someone double-check), Mario 64 needs 12.47 votes per update to tie. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

I'm
about to have to leave...can somebody give a quick/loose projection of
what SM64 should do until 8:00 based on what we've seen since 3:00? --- BT > Harrich lol me |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/3/2009 12:44:10 PM | message detail |
Mario 64 has cut 167 votes in the last hour. If it can keep that up for the next 4 hours the lead will be...280 for LTTP. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
The Mana Sword | Posted 6/3/2009 12:44:24 PM | message detail |
Mario 64 should bring this down to about 200 votes by 8 if it keeps up this pace. --- This is the kind of **** that allowed the Bhopal incident to happen. 5,000 dead Indians. Want that on your damn conscience, Square apologists? |

Nice update for SM64. 15 votes or so is a good cut at this point. |
KanzarisKelshen | Posted 6/3/2009 12:46:05 PM | message detail |
50 vote cut. OH. MY. GOD! WTF WAS THAT UPDATE! |
transience | Posted 6/3/2009 12:46:15 PM | message detail |
that's 150 votes in 45 minutes. if you assume 200 votes every hour until 9, Mario 64 takes the lead at like 8:15. that's a really rough sketch though. either way this is way more likely than Zelda 1 coming back yesterday. --- xyzzy http://penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090603.jpg |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/3/2009 12:47:36 PM | message detail |
Of course, 50 vote cuts rapidly accelerate the pace for Mario 64. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Nice update for SM64. 15 votes or so is a good cut at this point. the ASV has about, what? 3 hours left? that's 36 updates, we'll say 40 to make it around 7 pm...to make up 900 votes in 40 updates is 22-23 per update. I'd say 20 is a better benchmark, if Mario averages 20-vote cuts through 7 pm that brings the gap down to 100, which is definitely manageable --- formerly known as The_LeppreKhan http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/user.php?board=263&topic=24952445&user=3024374 |

Last
round, LTTP barely improved from the DSV to the ASV. Mario 64 jumped 3%
from its DSV to its ASV average. LTTP actually dropped during the ASV
during round 2. Not much improvement in round 1 either. Mario 64 has
proven to have a beastly ASV though in all three previous matchups. So...FFVII/Mario 3/Mario World/Mario 64: Who would you take? --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
transience | Posted 6/3/2009 12:51:27 PM | message detail |
well,
I owe red sox an apology - Mario 64 looks like it has this unless it
just stops (which is totally possible). either way, I didn't think it
could do much beyond stalling out the day. good call! --- xyzzy http://penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090603.jpg |

LttP
is in big, big trouble, like I said before, its ASV really isn't that
good. Mario's probably gonna fly by at ~7:30 or sooner. --- This is the kind of **** that allowed the Bhopal incident to happen. 5,000 dead Indians. Want that on your damn conscience, Square apologists? |
Julian_Caesar | Posted 6/3/2009 12:52:17 PM | message detail |
and so it begins if SM64 wins, i'm guessing this would be the biggest upset of the contest so far? true/false? maybe not since SM64 already knocked off CT, but still...LttP had every indication of being #3 --- formerly known as The_LeppreKhan http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/user.php?board=263&topic=24952445&user=3024374 |

God, what a beastly ASV. Who gave Mario the Kingdom Hearts Day Vote? If he keeps this up, this'll be a blowout! |

I think Mario 64/SMW/SMB3 is advantage 64. World and 3 have the most overlap there, I think. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

I
think Mario 64 has such a good asv here because more kids at that age
have played and love mario 64 then an old SNES game. So its just more
relevant for school kids, basically --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/110/akaitsuki02avi0001540295ns.jpg |

Argh I thought LttP could stave off a comeback if it had over a 800 vote lead. Man what is with these Nintendo Vs. Nintendo 1000+ vote comebacks --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
transience | Posted 6/3/2009 12:54:35 PM | message detail |
Mario
64 has a great day vote, but this is more LTTP having a mediocre one.
it seems like old games have those old Chrono Trigger trends, but we
never really got to see them because most games like Mario 3 and LTTP
don't show up in character battles. this is why generational stuff sucks - everything has the same trends! --- xyzzy http://penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090603.jpg |

mario 64 in the finals makes me sick Why? I can only name 3 games out of the ones remaining who are not worthy to be in the final. Mario 64 isn't one of them.

SM64
slowing down a bit now. Still, those two massive cuts will go a long
way towards giving it victory. Let's hope it can keep it up! |

"Well, what do you replace it with? What's left? SSBM, SSBB, and RBY?" Depending on your style, one of the Smash games WILL be unfit to make the finals. For me, RBY in the finals would be a travesty too, though SM64 getting there would nullify the impact of it. |
