Character design is basically how strong you would be if you were put in an average series instead of the series you're actually in.

Melee can get 71% and still look okay for the contest. MW is no pushover.

It's not just some Xbox RPG, it's one of "the" Xbox RPGS. Morrowind deserves a little respect and maybe it's getting some.

Still, I don't know what you people expected. Melee is still crushing it by a large amount.

Good performance by the top tiers. All the -4s survived and over 90% on the -5s, -6s and -7s got the match right. The chart is pretty normal overall and the prediction percentage fades as expected.

4 people fell off the Top 50. metroidcomposit, PinoyGenius, jemorgan85 and Knightround1 did not have HL2 beating GTA3.

CoD4 should beat Perfect Dark pretty easily.

On the other hand, it would also slaughter Bacon's silly 'old games can't compete with new ones' theory

Wait - if he ever believed this, there's no possible way he still can, right? After last contest I'm sure he'd be aware that older games>newer games, which is probably why he made this a Game of the Decade contest - just to give the poor wittle newer games a shot.

Legend of Mario would slaughter Super Link Brothers so badly red sox.

But what if in Super Link Bros., Luigi's equivalent is...Crono!! (man that would be like red's wet dream or something)

Which if they're the Link brothers, I suppose their names would be Link Link and Crono Link. And Crono's mom was really Mrs. Link! Gasp.

I thought Vincent was all character design? I figured thats why a characters whos optional and doesnt even talk much was so popular

Yeah, Vincent is probably very skewed towards the "character design" part of the strength spectrum over the "role in game" part.

In a four-way match. It's best not to take too much stock into the 2009 stats.

Gotta agree that I don't see how this is bad for Melee. It won't drop nearly as much as you guys think, and Morrowind's not fodder. Melee's doing fine.

And as I type this, Melee drops, and the freaking out begins.

Melee is ripe for a 6-7% drop from the board vote against an Xbox RPG. If it was at 81-82% at the freeze, that would settle it around 74-75%, which would be about what I expected.
