This is... a great result so far.

Hey there contest

I see you've decided not to make sense as usual

But it's almost exactly following the stats!

"Chiri to kashinasai! Kore de... owari desu! HIEN MESSHOUJIN!!! Toki wa modoranai, sore ga sizen no setsuri." ~Presea Combatir

speaking of not making sense, how does Tales of Symphonia win in America and nowhere else

I'm starting to think the results are switched here and there's a glitch
---
xyzzy

If Tales pulls this out, it would be an amazing result

ToS is staying alive by the votes from NA. Every other region has GoW leading.

Does NA control like 90% of the votes? I thought it would be around 75%.
---
R.I.P Halo 2

NA is about 83-86% at this point in time. It gets to like 50-60% in the last night time periods though.

Nice update, God of War.

Sigh, it was a good lead while it lasted.

What you want, what you lost, what you had, what is gone is over. What you got, what you love, what you need, what you have is real. It's not enough, I'm sorry.

I'd be so mad if GoW bombs here. After this, my battle entry is home free until I bank, and I'll be banking a good 50,000 or so points.

I care more about that than my bracket at this point. It's nice to be able to adjust in the middle of the contest.

i have a tough time out of these two games you can't find one you like. both very high quality games

So basically it's which game is better during the day, God of War is always good at day but ToS typically has Nintendo trends.

No one would want to be friends with an unmoving, unspeaking telephone pole. However, unmoving and unspeaking is exactly what you'd want from a telephone pole.

One point noting before going to bed


looks like Resident Evil 5 is actually decently strong (though some people might've though that already)

Going by TWEWY/DR stats, GoW got this.

And on that note I'll be going to sleep and expecting a victory!

also, obligatory THIS CONTEST

"if only there were some way I could have sex" - Smartmuffin

I wouldn't call it just yet. We're only 2 1/2 hours in, and the two games are basically fighting over the lead. With GoW winning in every region except NA (where it's still sitting over 49%), there's still every chance that it'll pull ahead and put a sizeable lead during the dead hours.

The way things are trending, I would say that ToS would need to be able to come back from a deficit of at least several hundred during the morning vote to pull out a win.

Europe has been slowly going ToS's way...it was at 52% at one point, now below 51%...this will come down to the morning vote/late rallies.
---
Completely decimated by Dr. Football in the Guru Contest!

ToS is slowly coming back in Europe. It was around 47% and now it's gotten up to 49.2%.

http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif

Going by TWEWY/DR stats, GoW got this.

Actually, it was almost opposite trends in that match. Dead Rising had NA, and TWEWY had everywhere else... and ToS has NA here and GoW has everywhere else. Not saying ToS is gonna win, but thats just not a good comparison.
---

ToS has been gaining in Europe for a while now.

---
DFF

wow, what a miserable night vote. God of War really is the biggest choker in these contests.
---
xyzzy

Indeed. But ToS has lost ground in NA as well. Which is why it's so damn close right now.
It's very likely the way things are going that God of War will take the lead and run away with it until the morning vote.
At the point, Europe's kicking in as the majority to vote in about 30 minutes or so.

One thing to note : UK's 55% for GoW. Its impact will be delayed by 1 hour so expect Europe to steadily climb.

Fixed.

Didn't GoW2 basically stall (in terms of percentage) with Zelda during the night even though Zelda has a great opening vote and a relatively awful night vote? GoW2 did most of its percentage cutting in the morning and continues to the day, so I'm still quite confident in GoW here.
---

This actually looks like it has the potential to be close the entire way, so I'm pretty excited. 21k riding on GoW in the battle challenge, but I have ToS in my bracket and ToS is the better game. I'll be happy whichever wins.

Dr Football and Snake have won this round, but Sephiroth will rise again!

Holy crap, 16 votes

So, we assume that Tales WOULD get the morning vote, right?
---
http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/170/ikamusume0516.gif

Not really. The morning vote can change drastically despite a regional advantage.
Pokemon vs GTA was the most blatant example. The second morning came, there were wild changes in the regions.

We'll see when we get there.
---
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." ~ Winston Churchill

Besides, it depends entirely on ToS.
In the 4 way poll, GoW was incredibly steady while ToS lost a lot of ground during the entire night and morning until around 1 PM where it stabilized and gains a bit of ground back during the evening.

Basically, going by trends, GoW is more likely to win.

man, god of war really needs to start building a lead here if it wants to win. it can't just stall

GoW takes NA in the morning

There's no gravity between us. Our love is automatic.

I really have no idea who is favored to win right now.

This is the time that GoW SHOULD be pulling away and getting the type of lead to prevent ToS from coming back come morning. Getting kinda worried here.

If that trend holds (and the current poll is alarmingly close to that trend), God of War barely wins. It was the ASV that saved ToS last year, not the morning vote.

"Indie cred lost its indie cred when a term for indie cred was created." -Viktor Vaughn

There is no ASV today. No school for most places across the country. Means the kiddies will vote in the morning instead? Who knows.

So is the general consensus that if GoW doesn't increase its lead, then ToS is going to pull away in the morning? It would be great to hear that so I could get some sleep!

wait, no asv? Why would that be?
