Either
way, Ryu/Dante is right up there with Char/Kratos as a second round
bracket buster where the winner is almost guaranteed a spot in the
fourth round. I think it will be closer than everyone is expecting. --- Yeah, you lost your virginity. Just like a homeless guy staring into the window of an office building means he got a job.- Colonel Alloy |

Ryu/Dante
is the match that has me most nervous. I know I picked an underdog, and
even after today's match is validating Ken, Ryu still feels like an
underdog. It's funny how my bracket rests on the shoulders of both Ryus. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

There
is absolutely no way Zelda drops it to Ezio. I try to refrain from
making bold claims because I hate sounding smug, but that one simply
isn't happening. No reason to worry. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Lightslayer987 | Posted 2/1/2010 12:37:25 PM | message detail Actually it explains nothing. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3745®ion=EUR Altair does worst in Europe and he's Ubisoft as well. Interesting. Not so sure what happened to Samus then. Samus having only 2 hours below 74% with all of her other hours above 76% is strange. I looked back at the round 1 Monkey Island match and did a quick hourly trend chart. Monkey Island managed to pull in 5 consecutive 10%+ hours during the night and early morning. If Samus's 2 horrible hours were the result of Europe, then she should have been pulling in more horrible hours than those 2 sub-74% hours. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

I like how everyone is saying that Ken isn't weak because Wesker and RE boosted, so SF is strong so Ryu > Dante. And misses the "RE boosted" and haven't considered if that has a knock on to Leon. Sure, it wasn't his game, but a bost to the series... I'd say all 3 characters are back in the frame IMOOOO --- I moo like a cow. |

Kinda
sucks for Leon that we're doing sprites in Round 3. He should be
alright if he gets his RE4 in-game model, but if he gets his original
RE2 model... Bad, bad things. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

during the night and early morning. If Samus's 2 horrible hours were
the result of Europe, then she should have been pulling in more
horrible hours than those 2 sub-74% hours. The Monkey Island games are MUCH more popular in Europe than the Prince of Persia series... Heck, if we had a franchise tourny and if the contest were limited to some specific parts of Europe, Monkey Island would be a contender to win the entire thing... Even if given the most favorable situation, only tallying votes from it's most favorable areas, the Prince of Persia series would never amount to anything close to that... --- Nominate B.B.

Ezio > Zelda upset is just ridiculous. Why are people still
discussing this? We have never seen a western character come in and
start beating top 15-20 characters besides Chief in 4-ways on Game Fuel. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

The

Altair-fear...and that's if Liquid didn't drop from 2008. Otherwise,

The Monkey Island games are MUCH more popular in Europe than the Prince of Persia series... I'm aware of that. I looked at the Monkey Island match because it was a franchise published by a European publisher. When someone pointed out that Prince of Persia was made by Ubisoft and that Ubisoft was also a European publisher, I wanted to see exactly how beastly Monkey Island was overnight and in the early morning. It was for the purpose of comparing how long Monkey Island was acting all beastly and seeing if there was any link towards the amount of time that Prince of Persia looked all beastly with the night vote. Unfortunately, the Prince only had 2 good hours, compared to to Monkey Island's 5 good hours. Not sure if this means that Prince of Persia games aren't as strong as Monkey Island games in Europe, even if both games perform well there. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

The difference between Monkey Island in Europe and North America is absurdly large. Check out this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3480®ion=DE 4-6 AM are traditionally by far the strongest hours of the European/Early Morning/Late Night vote.

I
can't rule out the Asia vote entirely, although I don't quite buy the
Asia vote having any significant effect on Samus's trends, when Asia as
a whole can't even contribute more than 5% of the votes in a night
match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

From: UltimaterializerX | #222 Yeah, but 2006 was undoubtedly Kairi's best year, and maybe this site has grown some balls since then. I swear, the way I voted in 2006 still shames me to this day. I wish I could go back and beat the crap out of myself. If I were to ever go back in church, it would be the FIRST thing I would confess. "Forgive me, father, for I have sinned."

Niko is winning in China. Remember when Vercetti got a surge of a few hundred votes from China that CJayC couldn't explain? I looked back at the updates for that match again and saw that Vercetti almost got an 80% update in that match, 2 other updates that were around 76%, and one update slightly below 70% (which was the first update of the Vercetti spikes). Kefka's vote totals remained pretty consistent even during the spikes, but it was Vercetti that got some crazy spikes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

America has Oregon Trail, Europe has Monkey Island. Indeed... Atleast kinda... There's atleast some support for Monkey Island in the US... However, Oregon Trail in Europe... If one only counted European votes... Man... Not only would it most likely lose against every other game that has ever appeared in a contest, and every game in every franchise in the franchise contest, and every game that any character that has ever appeared in a character tournament has appeared in... But it would have a hard time beating something like Barbie Vacation Adventure... As a hypothetical scenario it's kinda funny to think about... --- Nominate B.B.
