Devil
May Cry games bomb on these types of polls too. Its like nobody
actually plays the actions games here, they just love the character
designs --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/12/500x_ffps3.jpg |

Yep. Action games aren't that popular on GameFAQs, nothing new there. Good show from FFXIII. Right game winning! --- the journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step |

Ninja
Gaiden games have regularly bombed big time here as well. Prince of
Persia games generally haven't done very well either. Same with
Assassin's Creed. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Also... God of War 3 has passed Bioshock 2, and Mass Effect 2 has started to cut Pokemon after getting a max deficit of 190 (its down to 163 now) These should be two interesting matches to watch --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/12/500x_ffps3.jpg |

Standard FFXIII dominance in this poll. Nice to see HGSS in second. Hopefully it can keep it like this. |

FFXIII is now doubling Pokemon. I expect FFXIII's percentage on Pokemon to continue increasing for the rest of the night vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

mass effect 2... well shephard might be more recognisable than i first thought, but is he Popular? Isn't lost planet 2 that game with crazy good graphics and huge monsters? --- Shakes Fist! |

Okay, Vivi vs. Donkey Kong is definetely a bad idea for a rematch. To quote Sirian: "Who's the rat bastid who created THIS map, again? Sheesh. Drag him through town and beat him with clubs made of bundled straw." http://sirian.warpcore.org/civ4/epic-one/epic1-a3.html Just replace "map" with "matchup." And yes, I have been playing a lot of Civilization IV recently. Also started a replay of A Link to the Past (this time the Virtual Console version; last time it was the GBA version), and have picked up from where I left off in Final Fantasy VI Advance. I have also been playing SSBB a bit nowadays; it's been a while since I played it, to be honest. |

Someone mind posting the summarized version of the poll start times again? And hell, the full list would be nice as well. I was gonna post a new topic and wanted to bring back the summarized results, and also post the full start-times list as the second post for convenience. --- Not Wylvane |

Transience's rule for the first round was: If the top seed is odd, then it is a night match. If the top seed is even, then it is a day match. After that, the first match of every division is a night match (works for round 1 too). --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

bayonetta
faded really badly yesterday, Today FFXIII is kinda impressive when you
think about it, the competition here does include a lot of big names
and I'd go so far as to say no way is GoW3 less anticipated than
yesterday's winner Dante's Inferno, so for FFXIII to crush everything
here, is pretty impressive. --- Shakes Fist! |

@HaRRich and KleenexTissue50: What is so special about me (that you have to say "LMS has arrived" and "LMS'ed")? I will be trying my best to take part in the analyzations for this contest, but I will have to be going through tough tests at school this time! That will certainly be an obstacle, and easily a higher priority (I actually play video games more than most people my age; I'm almost 15 years old). Last contest it was summer vacation for me (since I moved to India, so while I was in summer vacation my US friends were taking exams), so it wasn't such an issue. This time though...I dunno. |

From: voltch | #468 This poll certainly looks to have more votes than yesterday's, which was actually pretty damn abysmal. Wouldn't surprise me if ME2/PHGSS passed Dante's Inferno in total votes. --- Not Wylvane |

dunno
if I should bring up this can of worms or not, but GOW3 sucking it up
confirms what we've known all along - that action games aren't the most
popular here, but the characters themselves are still pretty good. which, of course, brings up Bayonetta. --- xyzzy |

358/2 Days gets 2nd in the DS GotY. Zelda wins by virtue of being Zelda. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Pokemon > KH > Zelda, I'll say. that Zelda game went nowhere. KH could win due to a fanbase split, but I doubt it. --- xyzzy |
transience | Posted 12/20/2009 11:10:26 AM | message detail |
though that KH game kinda sucked too, so maybe Zelda takes second. --- xyzzy |

LMS
is alright, although I admit I don't read most of his posts. Back in
the early years of CSAD, votals were discussed a lot too, and there is
value to talking about them. Incidentally, I was reading some topics
from 2005 yesterday, and was suprised to see how much more we used the
x-stats, at least at the beginning of that contest. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

I
remember almost nothing of the Villains Contest, probably because I
didn't follow it closely or care about it much. Probably why I had to
