GameFAQs Contests

Yeah, we're more likely going to get a long stall/slight cuts.

Still watching someone with over 54% lose is pretty rare and would make a crazy start to the contest.

My predix: In about 2 hours, there will be 2 or 3 1500 vote cuts in favor of RB2, and then it will keep steady from then on until the end

If Rock Band keeps getting percentage, then it should be getting more votes per update than Deus Ex sometime before the match ends <_<

Let me present a great man. The one and only of his kind. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's an honor to give you... CTES... umm... well... oh whatever.

Why are there people thinking the ASV is going to matter here

We are hoping that Rock Band 2 pulls a comeback due to a increased percentage of votes coming from North America around this time. Also, in a few hours from now, Europe will drop off, which results in North America having more dominance over the poll. Here are the trends for the continent poll earlier this year:

Time | Africa | Asia | Oceania | Europe | North/South America
1:00 | 0.44% | 3.51% | 4.10% | 1.98% | 87.70% | 2.27%
2:00 | 0.34% | 4.80% | 4.16% | 3.24% | 84.95% | 2.51%
3:00 | 0.55% | 5.50% | 6.60% | 8.48% | 76.82% | 2.04%
4:00 | 0.58% | 7.08% | 7.03% | 18.84% | 65.02% | 1.44%
5:00 | 0.57% | 6.90% | 8.08% | 34.65% | 48.56% | 1.24%
6:00 | 0.54% | 8.55% | 6.48% | 47.87% | 35.56% | 1.00%
7:00 | 0.98% | 7.75% | 7.20% | 49.30% | 33.44% | 1.33%
8:00 | 0.72% | 6.96% | 5.71% | 43.70% | 40.41% | 2.50%
9:00 | 0.62% | 5.52% | 3.91% | 32.35% | 54.84% | 2.76%
10:00 | 0.38% | 4.61% | 2.66% | 23.02% | 65.62% | 3.71%
11:00 | 0.39% | 3.64% | 1.38% | 15.13% | 75.39% | 4.08%
12:00 | 0.41% | 2.77% | 1.19% | 12.92% | 78.62% | 4.10%
13:00 | 0.36% | 2.96% | 0.89% | 15.45% | 75.77% | 4.57%
14:00 | 0.40% | 1.62% | 0.60% | 14.65% | 78.50% | 4.23%
15:00 | 0.44% | 1.33% | 0.49% | 14.34% | 80.00% | 3.40%
16:00 | 0.33% | 1.27% | 0.53% | 14.53% | 79.79% | 3.56%
17:00 | 0.61% | 1.01% | 0.72% | 15.61% | 78.51% | 3.54%
18:00 | 0.49% | 1.00% | 1.06% | 15.07% | 77.81% | 4.56%
19:00 | 0.41% | 1.46% | 1.49% | 12.15% | 79.62% | 4.87%
20:00 | 0.14% | 1.76% | 2.33% | 8.73% | 82.15% | 4.89%
21:00 | 0.46% | 2.07% | 2.84% | 6.56% | 83.23% | 4.84%
22:00 | 0.49% | 2.38% | 2.76% | 4.27% | 85.31% | 4.79%
23:00 | 0.40% | 3.17% | 3.20% | 2.19% | 86.33% | 4.71%
24:00 | 0.33% | 3.31% | 3.72% | 2.13% | 86.42% | 4.09%

The second 12 hours is what you want to look at (so 13:00 to 24:00). Granted, that poll was on the weekend during the summer, so that poll wouldn't have had normal ASV trends. I don't know if the hourly trends would be slightly different if that continent poll was ran on a weekday during the school year.

If RB2 can't pick up any momentum in the next thirty mins or so, I'd say it's over.

Well back to class.

Over the past 45 minutes North America has gone from 51.87% to 52.58%, a good start, but it needs to do more.

Deus Ex is also very strong in South America. Even though that vote is small, it will make it harder to overcome the lead.

Awww yeah Deus Ex.

^5s self.

This just felt like such a ****ing trap pick for some reason. There had to be SOME reason that JC Denton kept getting into the character battles right?

And as far as I know, don't most rhythm game people dislike RB2 compared to the rest?

Anyways, I'm really happy about this, even if Deus Ex loses I feel good about how well it's doing.

JC Denton got in once. Back in 2k4.

I could have sworn he got in a couple of times.

Oh well, looks like I was right!

Deus Ex is actually rising with the ASV.

I literally cannot believe this ****.

"tgs is taking it alone"

RB 2 still making marginal gains in NA. But if the lead reaches 1200 I think it's too much to come back from. And cuts really need to start happening within the next half hour.

ASV hasn't quite hit yet, so don't get your panties in a wad. I'd wait a couple more updates before claiming ASV, since it technically starts at 3PM.

Welp.

I'm surprised enough people actually know what Deus Ex is to vote for it this much.

My favorite part of this match is there are more people making topics on this board that are mad because Deus Ex is "only" winning by as much as it is than topics that are people making topics that are mad that Rock Band is losing.

People have bad taste, it seems. I shouldn't be shocked.

This about sums it up right here! I guess Guitar Hero and Rock Band really are in Master Chief territory...

Ah well, an upset this bizarre is totally worth paying a single point for.

Realistically, Deus Ex should still have this. 1100 votes in 8 hours is no small feat, especially with such bad vote intake.
