Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest.

God of War 1 and 2 shouldn't be very far off. This means more for GoW1 than vote-ins does for ToS.

And I've been saying that GoW2 should never be considered to be close to GoW. The original was liked better and it wasn't released on a dying system.

It might not be doubling GoW2 by the next update!

God damn, this kind of drop is something you expect from Phoenix Wright.

From a tripling to barely a doubling in 20 minutes. Maybe not so "LOL everything we thought" after all.

Another percent and a half gone.....looks like WW will be under the doubling next update, never mind 1 AM. This feels like Melee vs. FFVII or something.

I've never gotten that impression from the fanbase. 2>3>1 seems like the general hierarchy. GoW being first and more important means that it would be the stronger of the two, but preferred by the fanbase? Eh. I don't think they'd be that far off.

You should've seen the poll from the start, when WW was tripling GoW2.

I just don't get the board vote this year. Just the other day, Phoenix Wright lost it. Then they decided to make up for it by treating GoW like FF7. Make up your mind, guys!

Isn't God of War a day game too? I mean I'm sure it'll bleed all night checking the first few updates, but not to the extent as if God of War had a good night vote

You give the board vote to MKWii over PHOENIX WRIGHT, then diss on GoW2 for WW? Disgusting Nintendo fanboys, the lot of you.

It's all relative, for example Mario would win the night vote over something like Halo.

Still, nice result from WW. I don't think it's beating GSC anymore but it should be stronger than MM with this result.

I can't remember the last time something got off to such an asstastic early vote (even Baldur's Gate II might end up better than this). Thank god GoW has brackets over ToS, because I don't trust it to crawl back after fumbling out the gate.

Considering that God of War II was clearly above RE5 and that ToS struggled to defeat it says otherwise.

Though by the end GoW2 will look respectable.

Man, I can't wait for that board vote. ToS might be up 60% at the freeze and I wouldn't feel safe calling it!

Yeah, considering that GoW has brackets its start probably won't be anywhere near as bad as this.

60% is a little too high here. ToS only had 56.75% on RE5 at the end of the board vote and finished at 52.17%. GoW should easily be stronger than RE5, so I'd say ToS is likely to be closer to 55% than to 60% with the board vote.

board vote seems simple to me:

- loves brackets
- loves nintendo and board faves
- hates western games

this match is 3 for 3.

You know I've noticed that a lot of trilogies have the second one as the worst, I guess after loving the first people are expecting too much out of the sequel, then the third game fixes everything that was wrong with the second.
