From: UltimaterializerX | #383 Ulti, you're so confident in this, but there's no reason to be. If SMS can't beat Halo 3 (or even if it barely does), name-power isn't doing 3D-Sonic any favors either. If Braid beats P4 or something, you may be onto something, but as-is, there's not really much reason to back SA2 to destroy anything. --- EPONA EPONA Epona Epona Epona EPONA EPONA Epona EPONA EPONA Epona EPONA EPONA Epona |

I like when people gloat during coin flip matches. This wasn't a coin flip match, this was people being afraid of Halo and ignoring stats. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 4/6 Today's Matches: Halo 3 & Halo |

From: NoDicePwn | #398 The point is that it is a fairly close match, albeit most likely being a done match. When it goes one side's way by several percentage points, it just look silly to brag. --- Dr_Football punted me out of the Guru throne. 4th place in Summer Contest 2k4 |

It has a terrible day vote though, so that morning vote wouldn't be good for it. The night matters more than the morning at this point. Also, I think Galaxy's power hour wasn't so great either. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Galaxy
had two weekend matches I think. It plummeted pretty badly during the
day, but it was up against some day vote monsters in SSBM, Pokemon and
CoD4. I'd consider it pretty neutral. --- Dr Football and Snake have won this round, but Sephiroth will rise again! |

From: UltimaterializerX | #399 This was the only match I picked purely on principle and not logic. I figured I'd rather lose points picking SMS, even if more likely, than to trust Halo one more time and lose points with it. It's obvious that SMS is a weak Mario game, so people going around declaring it isn't very impressive. --- Dr_Football punted me out of the Guru throne. 4th place in Summer Contest 2k4 |

From: red sox 777 | #414 to be fair it's also against 2 superior games that can SFF it there so i would argue its votes there are more about the trends of the other games and not itself --- ~Acting on Impulse~ |

From: charmander6000 | #404 I think I simply misused the term (as those here use it) seeing as how many people have quoted me now. In my mind, this match was going to be near 50-50, which is what I meant. The stats very obviously pointed to Halo, but I don't purely follow stats. --- Dr_Football punted me out of the Guru throne. 4th place in Summer Contest 2k4 |

What
stats? There were no stats on Mario Sunshine. And that latest update
was very painful for Mario. If Halo can hold 53% at the end of the
power hour, it should be over. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Albion:
That was SFF, and a GOTY poll from 8 years ago. Can't really claim this
match was obvious from stats from looking at that poll. Charmander: SMS being weaker than SMG is definitely not from stats. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
