I'm surprised Modern Warfare is doing so bad. I thought it might get some franchise votes. --- http://www.dragon-realm.net/atradomina/Animated%20Gifs/1146163289152.gif http://i45.tinypic.com/2ljlus3.jpg |

Yeah I mean Ganondorf beating Sonic. Well, *I* thought it was crazy, anyway. I haven't really had many crazy picks... wait.. I had Terra in the Devil Division finals. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Speaking of which, what's your "crazy" upset this contest, if you have one? If there is one, it would be Red > MMX. I managed to restrain myself from taking Frog to win his division (meaning I have him losing to Bowser because if I had Frog > Bowser in a day match, then I'd just have to take Frog > Sora in a night match) and Crono > Sephiroth. --- 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.... |

Nice vote totals, over 600 at the freeze which means it'll probably have the highest vote total so far. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Submit bracket here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=52670380 |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #251 I'm surprised Modern Warfare is doing so bad. I thought it might get some franchise votes. You thought the gimped Wii "port" that noone bought or played would get franchise votes? That would be like argueing that the Zelda CD-I games should do good because of franchise votes. Actually, I take that analogy back, since the Zelda CD-I games would likely do good anyway... --- http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Guys, eff WSR, we're missing the bigger snub: Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! Nah, but seriously, WSR would be taking second in this poll. I tried to be a big PO-advocate, but WSR would do better than this. Let's see if it improves through-out the day though...I don't think WSR would necessarily do a lot better. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

But
these votals have been so bad that I think it's safe to say that most
people who haven't played any of the games are simply not voting. --- 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.... |

From: red sox 777 | #267 Very, very low.

From: charmander6000 | #276 That and the Wii focuses more on exclusive stuff then the other two systems since they're both similiar specs so they share multiplatform games. If you show a list of games for 360 and PS3, not taking out the multiplatform, they'd still wipe the floor. --- http://www.dragon-realm.net/atradomina/Animated%20Gifs/1146163289152.gif http://i45.tinypic.com/2ljlus3.jpg |

Yeah if the overall console race was only about exclusives Wii would wipe the floor with PS360. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Submit bracket here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=52670380 |

saw it outside of this topic, but MP-trilogy was also passed over.

screwed. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |
