TWEWY better hope that was just a drop, because if not, this match is over.

That was all North America. TWEWY stayed the same in Europe and Asia.

That big update for Dead Rising was TWEWY going from 50.01% to 49.25% in North America over the past 10 minutes.

BAM. This is lookin real good for dead rising

fun fact. This gen casuals outnumber hardcore gamers by a huge amount. Much larger than even the previous generation. And it shows with dead rising doing this well in a night match

And yeah people, stop saying this is over. TWEWY will have all night and early morning to build a lead. Obviously DR would do fine during a heavy NA time like the power hour.

But it probably is. I voted for TWEWY but it's pretty evident what's going to happen. I admit I'm surprised the game hung in there this long.

Greyfeld | Posted 11/9/2010 9:48:52 PM | message detail
Nope, its 8%. Which can be very important

8% of the people who can't choose a game after considering the games, the franchises, the genres, the developers, and the match pics, and still feel the need to vote.

If you can prove to me that the number of people that fit that description is more than 1%, then I'll admit you have a point. Until then, you're just working with percentages that have zero context.

Dude, that update was an anomaly. Things are going back to stall-stall-stall next, and eventually TWEWY is going to start consistently winning them. If it's ahead by enough to hold on once North America wakes up, we'll have to see.

I have to say I'm impressed at it doing so well at this point though.

You fail to realize that this entire time, TWEWY's Euro support has been plummeting. It started near 60% and now it's below 53%

Top option only matters in fodder vs fodder matches. Agent J was in a match with Link. Link wasn't fodder back then (Though that is debatable nowadays)

I just highly doubt TWEWY can win already in a hole in North America and not convincingly winning Europe. It's percentage has been rapidly dropping there. 52% in Europe is not going to win it this match against North America which is going to be pushing towards 51-52% itself.

Arrrgh I hate Europe this contest. Everything from nudging Deus Ex to massively undervoting TWEWY. Normally they go ga-ga over RPG's and vote against splashy U.S. favorites... but not this RPG. South America is more for TWEWY, wth is that?

I'd be honestly surprised if its not. Its gonna rock that night vote. I think 600-700 is more realistic.

Why are we assuming DR handily wins the morning vote to turn around a decent deficit? The trends Luster Posted had Freank West pegged as an ASV thing through and through.

I'm cool with speculating on things that matter, but this stuff? most of it doesn't even mean anything. TWEWY was winning early and Europe had 60%, so obviously it was Europe. one update later and it was down to 53%. then we have the California vote which has never meant anything besides in a Street Fighter match.

I just want people to use data that has meaning, you know?

-LusterSoldier- | Posted 11/9/2010 9:57:38 PM | message detail
I wouldn't really call anything based on those last two updates. North America's influence is still pretty strong right now. I have some more advanced information about the continent poll on this page:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdHpEYmJDdktneHBQQXNoVXdLcUY3cEE&gid=1

North America has no problem continuously drawing in at least 85% of the votes until 1:15 AM. It's right around 2:00 AM that North America slowly starts dropping off.
