This ended up a fairly average performance from Melee. Barely outdoing Brawl's 4-way percentage despite CoD looking terrible isn't all that impressive. Better hope Brawl had a lot of standout factor in that match.

Personally, I'm a bit surprised it even fell that low during the night.
Mind you, I'm actually glad it did since it helps me but I didn't think a game like CoD would beat SSBM during the night vote.

COd4 looks terrible how? I don't know what people expected from COD4. It's doing enough to put it above Morrowind and WArcraft 3 which people would have predicted anyway. COD4 is one of the strongest FPS non RPG's on this site, easily top 3 anyway behind CE and Goldenye. Melee is doing what people predicted, which is high 60's. If this was a day match then the numbers would be greater. Brawl has pokemon which barely beat GTAIV, meaning it would lose to COD4 so Brawl has to better Melees perforance especially during the day.

Either way next weeks match is looking close but whatever happens Melee goes into it the favourite.

CoD doesn't look terrible here. It's looked terrible in every other match in the contest so far.

And I wouldn't put any guarantees on Melee doing better in a day match. Brawl actually lost ground against CoD4 in the second half of their 4-way match (weekday vote, so nothing funny there).

Against SSBM, most games would look terrible anyway.

CoD would be awful against a decent game that shouldn't be able to beat it. Anti-votes however would. Against SSBM, people wouldn't be voting for it anyway so anti-voting isn't really an issue.

On a sidenote here, I completely forgot I ever had this account. Definitely putting it back in service. I feel so young with my Level 31.

I would expect brawl to do worse against COD4 though. And it never looked terrible. I hate when peopole keep using that to justify a surprising performance. You don't even know how strong SoT or PD are, PD64 would have had a huge following during the N64 era(the most popular and favourable era on gamefaqs) so i wouldn't say it looked bad against PD64. Everyone knows how much this site is skewed towards Nintendo games. It can't have terrible performances and suddenly do alright against Melee. And i can't take 4 ways seriously anymore.

I don't think COD4 would get as many antivotes as people think. Compared to Halo 3 and MW2, it's far more respected game.

It's doing about the same as Brawl on a game that looked great last year and terrible this year. CoD games aren't timeless, they will get weak fast. Not to mention CoD4 is a really day-heavy game, certainly moreso than Melee.

It'll be hilarious enough seeing Prime's board vote against Fallout 3.

Also I'd pick Half-Life 2 over any other FPS besides GoldenEye without a second thought. Though imagine Halo/HL2 in a day match. Oh my god.

So wait did HL2 actually drop more during the ASV against GTAIII than it did against God of War?

Well, this match suddenly looks a lot more normal. Still a solid performance though.

And by the looks of it, if Melee/Brawl are 50/50, then Sands of Time = Disgaea, so take that for what you will!

I didn't even realize CoD4 had faced Brawl in a fair match without Galaxy in it. Would've gone a bit higher in the Oracle if I'd seen that (I picked 66.75%, would've raised a point probably). Yeah that 31% on Brawl it got will be very accurate here. Looks like CoD4 maybe didn't fall in strength after all? Surprisingly accurate result from the 4-way, we get the odd 4-way accuracy nugget now and then.

It's not that CoD4 did any better during the night than during the day. Its night vote is the same as its day vote. It's just that the Power Hours were so one-sided that it looking like it was "winning" the night vote, when it was just returning to normalcy.

Yeah, it's going to be almost the exact percentage actually. 69.32% for Brawl during the first 12 hours on CoD4.

Well okay there's probably SFF here since both are Nintendo games, but... DPP vs. Call of Duty 4, who ya got?

I'm thinking Brawl is probably almost as strong (or just as strong) as Melee indirectly but might crumble in a direct match. Just a guess.

Last night's chart:

0:05 | 76.49% | 23.51% | 1055
1:00 | 73.71% | 26.29% | 7605
2:00 | 71.62% | 28.38% | 4821
3:00 | 69.53% | 30.47% | 3394
4:00 | 68.02% | 31.98% | 2539
5:00 | 66.68% | 33.32% | 2038
6:00 | 66.30% | 33.70% | 2003
7:00 | 66.61% | 33.39% | 2447
8:00 | 67.94% | 32.06% | 2901
9:00 | 67.41% | 32.59% | 3225
10:00 | 66.90% | 33.10% | 3378
11:00 | 69.05% | 30.95% | 3447
12:00 | 68.37% | 31.63% | 3297

Well, so much for Melee getting a night match where it didn't bleed all night. In fact, CoD4 being day oriented prevented Melee from being able to make some gains with the morning vote, too.

Super Smash Bros. Melee – 50.00%
