SotC isn't weak for a 2 seed?

its weaker...not weak. also with franchise bracket placements you were always going to get stronger games in the same division like smash bros and kingdom hearts/zelda tp. people laugh at sotc being 2nd seed but now they understand why it was 2nd seed.

Can anyone remember the four games SBAllen said had the most nominations. Super Mario Galaxy, FFX, Melee, what more?

And I have leaderboard status riding on Uncharted 2! This is damn important!

Ooh, ooh, here's one. Going by the Game of the Year poll, Uncharted 2 gets 62.78% on New Super Mario Bros. Wii. MGS3 got 63.85% against MvC2, which is equal in strength to Mario. So Uncharted 2 is just a tad below MGS3 in strength, and we'd all take Metal Gear Solid 3 to beat Halo, right?

"lol game of the year polls"

Hey, let's use the other 2009 (lol) GotY poll.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3727

Uncharted 2 is only just above Dragon Age, and we'd all take Halo 1 over Dragon Age, right?

Holy blazes, AC2 ended up doing really well last night. For my money, it's definitely one of the stars of R2.

Surprised TTYD isn't keeping this closer, though... especially since that match pic is one of the all-time greats!

Put all of your alts into one single spot. Or was this SBAllen's doing?

Decent showing by TTYD. PM1 is probably stronger than it, I'd say, so MGS3 probably needs 60%+ next round.

No, just do Ho-Oh and Lugia, keep Suicune out of it imo.

If you want to branch out, do Celebi or one of the starters or something.

Last night's chart:

Time | LOZ: TWW | AC2 | Votes
0:05 | 69.16% | 30.84% | 1041
1:00 | 63.84% | 36.16% | 7290
2:00 | 62.31% | 37.69% | 4489
3:00 | 61.65% | 38.35% | 3429
4:00 | 59.51% | 40.49% | 2507
5:00 | 60.01% | 39.99% | 2108
6:00 | 57.40% | 42.60% | 1965
7:00 | 58.64% | 41.36% | 2435
8:00 | 57.97% | 42.03% | 2834
9:00 | 59.93% | 40.07% | 3242
10:00 | 60.45% | 39.55% | 3305
11:00 | 59.62% | 40.38% | 3445
12:00 | 61.75% | 38.25% | 3166

This is pretty much just WW/GOW2 all over again, just at lower percentages. WW starts off strong, but it bleeds badly with the night vote and doesn't really recover even with the morning vote, thanks to AC2 also being day-oriented.

Third Quarter

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker – 50.00%
Assassin’s Creed II – 39.15%
God of War II – 36.05%
ICO – 29.84%

GoW2 gets 58.61% on ICO and 46.04% on AC2.

So...ICO vs. MKWii: Who you got?

Yeah, I don't like it either. I thought "Shadow Lugia" would look cooler, but the contrast there sucks. Normal Lugia looks way better in there: http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2125/pokemongscr3a.png

Classic sprites Ho-oh Vs Lugia (probably Lugia with the back sprite), honestly, I could hardly see losing to much.
