Man, with Mario's Asia vote and Mega Man's Europe vote, that match could get ugly =( Goddamn you Failer Bacon, why couldn't round 4 be 24 hours! --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

Actually, based on the 2008 stats, Mario is projected to get around 76.80% on Zidane, so that would be a nice boost! --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |

It still stuns me on how badly Ike does overnight. He was the #1 most requested character for Brawl in Japan! Japan actually makes up very little of the overall Asian vote, or at least it seems to be that way. Korea and China don't seem to be contribute a whole lot either. Tends to be whoever the Philippines sides with. --- study the past if you would define the future |

Zidane
and Ike had funky placement. Both had weird Round 1 matchups against
unknowns that made them look bad, then they had a close match, and now
it looks like Ike was actually the same all along and Zidane boosted
thanks to Dissidia...probably. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

Can
someone request for Bacon to actually show us vote totals by region? I
don't understand why they're not already shown. Obviously shouldn't be
too much work - especially for the guy who's giving us electoral-type
maps for friggin' Australia and England! :) Very strange that they're
not shown, I wonder if it was just an oversight that no one has
mentioned to him yet? --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: LeonhartFour | #1404 Odd. I don't really get it. I just noticed from these polls people are linking to that these older polls actually do have vote totals by region, which makes it even weirder. Here's the data from FF7 vs. Ocarina of Time (http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3509): World - 155838 North America - 119306 South America - 4124 Europe - 23174 Asia - 5031 Oceania - 4047 US - 100706 Canada - 15275 Brazil - 2313 UK - 9370 Netherlands - 2278 Germany - 1399 Phillipines - 1394 Australia - 3356 No vote totals by state though, so I couldn't check Wyoming and California. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Oh, you can view vote totals by region once a poll is complete, but not while it's running. Can't view 'em by state anytime though! That's what someone asked him to include. --- "Spoil it for me.

Eh,
it should be about even. The later morning vote on weekends acts like a
