FFX will likely bring this up to 63% before match's end. It will still contend with RE4. --- It takes a genius to make something simple truly great. Dr. Football, you are the man! I'll take you down next contest though... |

From: The Mana Sword | #103 Street Fighter 4 was actually a great move, as SF4 at least had potential to pull an upset, and its flop was among the more memorable moments of the contest. Whereas whatever SF4 replaced was never going to do anything except lose. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This space reserved for Game of the Decade Guru Contest Winner. |

FFX
is crushing now. This may not end up that bad, but that first half hour
indicates that FFX will be in an early hole against RE4 or Pokemon. Not
a good place to be. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

FFX
probably ends up with 63-64% or so. Good show Golden Sun, but it's
nothing to be ashamed of for FFX. Golden Sun did just beat San Andreas
easily, remember. Of course, FFX just isn't a top 8 game, so relative to that, this would be disappointing. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

FFX
is going to look fine here. And that's despite GS having a game release
in between matches. This is looking like it'll be its best performance
so far actually. --- Dr Football and Snake have won this round, but Sephiroth will rise again! |

might not crush the night vote as much as I might expect. Europe is

24
hour matches don't hurt FF much. The vote totals are so much higher
that the anti-voting hurts them a lot less. I'd much sooner put money
on RE4 > FFX than MM/GSC > FFX. --- I predict and analyse the Game of the Decade contest here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56817040 |
red sox 777 | Posted 12/10/2010 9:47:12 PM | message detail |
No.
24 hour match>day match>night match for most FF games/characters
because of their huge frontloaded anti-vote in the first hour. That's only true for FFVII. FFX's power hour isn't quite that bad, so it should still be stronger at night than in 24 hours. But it probably won't be a big difference, true, and people frequently overrate the effect of day/night on matches. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
