What would be the record for the USA result's incongruity with the overall result? Could this be the match the USA gets the "most wrong" out of all contests? --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://i.neoseeker.com/n/2/nintendo_quality_seal.jpg |

I'd say that honour goes to Halo vs Starcraft --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/Shaneh87/Haruhi/Kyonexplanation.jpg |

Meh only a one point match. SA2 v SF IV and Halo 3 v Super Mario Sunshine coming up, I'm excited for that. And those are actually going to cost some people more than one point. --- "Of course I'm going to rig the contest in my favor." - SBAllen |

Unlikely,
Starcraft did very well in the US in the 2009 contest I think. If you
count 4-ways, maybe Secret of Monkey Island vs. SimCity or
Pac-Man/Oregon Trail. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

I'm really more annoyed that my Battle entry got hit so early. Yeah, that pisses me off because I was planning on banking pretty damn early. My goal was pretty much to just play it really tight and get all the obvious matches right and bank on all the questionable ones in R1. Obviously you're not going to win like that but I just wanted to have a somewhat decent score come R2. --- "Of course I'm going to rig the contest in my favor." - SBAllen |

Alright,
I know it's not happening, but let's see an SNV comeback, Rock Band.
SNV comebacks are the best, but they are so rare nowadays with a

Just forget it. Deus Ex has got this won! (bar a big rally) Aw, man, I shoulda went with my initial gut pick on this. I bet a lot more people on the board woulda picked it if it was not for others' persuasions. Or, at least, a lot more would have picked it if it was not for its horrible showing in the last game contest. But I had a lot of gut picks that I know would have been wrong, so it's better for my overall score to switch all of the gut picks over to the more reasonable ones. --- "Ah, a party!

From: Haste_2 | #225 I honestly thought this was a no-brainer in Rock Band's favor and wasn't persuaded by the board at all. JC Denton was bottom-feeder levels in 2004, Deus Ex was the same last year and Rock Band is much more popular than Guitar Hero. I suppose one could have plugged Axel Steel's 2008 number against JC's 2004 number into the stat calculator, but who the hell does stuff like this to predict stuff? For the sake of irony, check out what numbers it spits out: Axel Steel 47.07% 48,388 JC Denton 52.93% 54,416 TOTAL VOTES 102,805 JC Denton wins with 52.93% of the vote!

I think this comparisan says it the best. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1619 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3463 Basically, back when FFT was powerful enough to challenge MGS, it tripled Dance Dance Revolution. The newer, much weaker FFT tripled Deus Ex. Basically for Deus Ex to win here Dance Dance Revolution would have had to win convincingly over Rock Band, and that just doesn't make sense to me. I would've taken Rock Band to beat it easily. But man, Rock Band just turned out to be awful. --- DFF |

It
was 4th from the bottom last year, so Tanner level isn't *that*

don't see it beating Fallout no matter what. --- Your stories do amuse me, although your eyes are vacant. I did not wish this on you. Your madness is quite blatant. |
