What
kind of trends do Mega Man/MM2/MMX give us for this match, fifteen
minutes in? I imagine it's only getting close from here...do any of
their trends suggests DS overturns this bad start after the Power Hour? Mega Man is a 2 hour man before it crashes so it needs to do as much as it can early. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 8/10 Today's Matches: MM9 & Okami |

From: HaRRicH | #292 Mega Man's the same in everything: Great first couple of hours, awful overnight vote (because Europe hates Mega Man), and decent the rest of the way. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |

From: special_sauce | #280 This is GameFAQs. Most of us know what Mother is. And my point was that the name alone gets votes, not the number of people who played the game. The ratio of people who played DMC3 vs Mother 3 is definitely higher than 65-35. Earthbound fans and possibly Nintendo (Smash Bros/Ness) fans just picked Mother 3 because it's a Mother series game. --- L O S T X360 GT: VinnyMendoza90 Currently playing: Perfect Dark |

From: NoDicePwn | #298 Makes sense. DS is really gaining power from the Europe vote, which could help it take the lead, but once that is gone and MM9 gets more NA votes, it shouldn't have any trouble storming back and sealing the victory. --- Wylvane NaturalChemical is a horrible user. |

Far more people have heard of Devil May Cry than Mother notice that Earthbound - the only famous game in the series - doesn't have Mother in it's common name Mother is may be regarded as higher quality by those who have heard of it, but that's a different argument --- The return of...Me_Pie_Three Kevin Butler is God. |

From: Not_Wylvane | #309 I have banked for Deus Ex/RB2, SA2/SFIV, and now this. I also got SMS/Halo 3 wrong but that was only for 100 points for me anyways. I don't have a lot of points built up yet, but I have plotted where I'm going to get my big streaks to get me within striking distance. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |

From: SecksThaNemesis | #331 If one of the 500+ people with 5500 points bank right now, they'll have a huge lead on you and still have the same chance as you to get a big streak. Of course, I have 0 points right now and have missed a ****load of battle picks, so maybe you're better off not taking any advice from me right now. I just know I have to go big to have a chance. --- Wylvane NClark128 is a horrible user. |
charmander6000 | Posted 10/24/2010 9:26:10 PM | message detail |
Yup MM9 is cruising pretty nicely. DS may make a slight comeback at night, but MM9's lead should be big enough by that time. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 8/10 Today's Matches: MM9 & Okami |
DaruniaTheGoron | Posted 10/24/2010 9:26:17 PM | message detail |
From: special_sauce | #321 And notice that DMC still won the match. I think you're missing the point of my argument. Mother 3 still overperformed, and I'm saying it did because it's a Mother series game and Mother series fans will just vote for it even if they haven't played it yet. I know I did. In this match, Demon's Souls is definitely the more "cult" game and I think you're trying to draw my argument into that, but you're misunderstanding me. Mega Man has classic appeal just like Mother does and gets votes because of the name. Demon's Souls is too new. --- L O S T X360 GT: VinnyMendoza90 Currently playing: Perfect Dark |

I think DS is probably going to stay down. Of course, stranger things have happened. Maybe some activity in the dead of night. Some cuts at least. Eh. --- And then the car wash cost five dollars. Pokemon Platinum: 1719 9497 5082 Pokemon HeartGold: 2966 0920 7723 |

If
one of the 500+ people with 5500 points bank right now, they'll have a
huge lead on you and still have the same chance as you to get a big
streak. Well that's where I'm figuring they won't be able to put together an unbeaten run from Round 2 all the way to the end like I will, and they'll **** up somewhere while I won't. Who knows, but I went into this battle thing with a plan of attack and it's working so far. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |

Deus Ex is a cult game and still won. It depends on the opponent. GameFAQs apparently doesn't give a **** about music games, so RB2 lost. DMC3 is a somewhat popular game here with a popular protagonist, so it won, and MM9 has enough recognition and name brand to do well. So from here we have to glean how other games will do. Does GameFAQs give a **** about Dead Rising? Will we have to wait and see first whether popular sequels can boost the originals? At any rate, how Dead Rising does against TWEWY may tell how Mass Effect will do in later rounds. --- Wylvane Pyrostormer is a horrible user. |
