wait, the other people besides me who took sunshine thought sunshine was going to win the first hour?


Well, that's usually what Nintendo does. When Nintendo doesn't do that, it usually doesn't turn out well for it.

Can you imagine if Ninja Gaiden won twice?


It'd mean I'd get every day match in the division wrong.

Which is precisely why I expect it to happen!

Never changing my bracket after my first run-through again.

Yeah. The expectation from sunshine backers was that it would take such a big early lead that it would be able to win first hour and just hold the lead over night. It could only lead 2 minutes

If that was the expectation, that was silly. Halo is the day game here, not Sunshine, and Halo has historically done well at the opening. It's not FFVII.

That's a pretty close approximation. In the continent poll, Europe was at 2.44% at the end of the board vote.

Because all indications are pointing to an easy win for Halo 3. I don't see anything going for Mario that could give it any kind of chance of winning.

Eh, there aren't enough votes coming in from Europe for that to matter yet. Europe's influence isn't really felt until about 2 A.M.

Not this crap again. I doubt SA2 is all that weak.

It would destroy Persona 4, at any rate.

Why would Halo do well against a Nintendo game early on?

Because Halo sucks so badly at the deep night that it's going to do better here in the power hour than later against any Nintendo game that isn't Smash Bros. Of course, if you let Halo get its day vote tomorrow, it would end up higher than here, but Halo doesn't get that day vote. It has to go through its awful night vote, and then face Mario's morning vote. Halo's day vote won't really get going until the last hour of the poll.

So many people were bashing Halo/Chief last few weeks saying that a joke game like Sunshine could even beat a Halo game. When you talk that much smack and don't back it up, gloating is inevitable.

Yeah, if Mario Sunshine's trends are standard Nintendo, it's not out of this yet. Although if Halo has 53% or higher at the end of the power hour, it'll be pretty close to gone. The match looked a lot more winnable before that latest update.
