Well,
it's a night match... so as long as Europe's TWEWY vote doesn't tank
too much farther, it's on its way to developing a solid lead by the
time the morning vote comes around. |

Is
it weird that for a match this close with several cuts already, I don't
feel worried at all about TWEWY losing? Its got all of the trends in
its favor, so I'm just like "Meh" when cuts happen. --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |

Are you seriously telling me that 5% of voters vote the top option all the time? That's not true, because of this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3680 The first option and last option were almost tied. There's no telling if that holds true in contest matches. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Anyone bored want to figure out how often the top option wins in close matches (like, when the winner scores <51%)? --- Wylvane Skarmory60 is a horrible user. |

after
WC3's ASV loss to Morrowind not long ago, close matches like this make
me nervous, especially when we don't have any solid trend evidence for
either game. |

From: Biolizard28 | #204 Trust me, if I could have argued for it, I would have...but I couldn't. Its best evidence is that MM9 won a match, which really doesn't mean much considering MM9 tripled it in 2008 and it's not like DS is worth a damn here. I took No Mercy > FE:PoR, but I can't bet on Braid winning despite liking it more and fearing P4 less. Braid's unfortunately yet almost certainly a bottom-ten game on GameFAQs. --- Epona: your #1 trusty steed. http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

TWEWY alive as Dead Rising almost approaches 51% in the US. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Top option is ONLY applicable to fodder vs fodder matches were the vast majority of the voters have no idea what either game is. |
Greyfeld | Posted 11/9/2010 9:37:51 PM | message detail |
doubtful.
Dead Rising is too casual for people to love it or hate it like TF2 or
Fable, and TWEWY is beloved but has a very very small playerbase. |

LOLContests | Posted 11/9/2010 9:39:37 PM | message detail |
I
doubt the top option always gets 5%. Every POTD on this shows the
numbers as much lower. Plus Agent J was the top option and he got
<5% of the vote. And and least half of his votes were legitimate
votes as well, I'd imagine. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |

Thanks
to the poll I provided, we now know without a shadow of a doubt that
being the top option in a fodder vs fodder match gives you an 8% advantage |
NoDicePwn | Posted 11/9/2010 9:40:20 PM | message detail |
Not feeling good about TWEWY right now, it's looking more and more like an implosion waiting to happen. TWEWY is winning everywhere but North America, and North america is going to bed soon. How can you NOT feel good about it? --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |

It's more like everywhere but the US and UK is voting TWEWY. Still, dammit Canada. My bracket has already too many mistakes. Just let it go and vote for the zombie game.

TWEWY's got a good shot considering it has the entire night to lead build, but it's gotta start moseying here at some point. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |

-LusterSoldier- | Posted 11/9/2010 9:41:35 PM | message detail |
This
match has the potential to be the closest wire-to-wire match because
although Dead Rising is coming back because of the US, the late night
vote will help out TWEWY as the US's influence drops off and TWEWY uses
the other regions to stall Dead Rising. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |
EvilNcr | Posted 11/9/2010 9:42:11 PM | message detail |
From: NoDicePwn | #279 Probably because the rest of North America waking up around 6-10 AM could wreck everything for TWEWY. Kind of like how Pokemon got a huge day boost when ASV vote reported in. --- "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." ~ Winston Churchill |

The evidence for top option is undeniable. Behold http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=848 To come down to the "top option" effect, you'd have to first go through the games themselves, then the franchise, then the company, then the genre, then the match pics. The chances of somebody being completely unable to choose between two games after all those considerations, are slim to none, and even the poll shows that the second most chosen option is the bottom one, which means that minuscule percentage (I would guess EASILY under 1%) is split about 60-40 between top and bottom choices. Which basically means no, "top option factor" is not important. |
