Hah Portal killing Mass Effect. Match over already?

Let me present a great man. The one and only of his kind. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's an honor to give you... CTES... umm... well... oh whatever.

portal board vote

it'll be interesting to see who wins it between it and RE4

Has stopped playing irl for this format!

So much for that Mass Effect 3 announcement.
---
You may take Mr. Rogers down, but I will be back and become more powerful than you ever imagine
"tgs is taking it alone"

I'd worry. People have unbelievable love for this game and RE4 is aging.
---
:>

Whoa, Portal just dropped from 65% to 61% in like 10 seconds.
---
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

That's a bit more favorable, what a board vote this game has.
---
:>

That seriously might be the quickest 4% drop after the first minute I've ever seen.

Hm...

Portal vs. Half-Life 2

I'm trying to figure out who probably wins that matchup if it ever comes up. Both games look about Dead Even.
---
Hail to VI, Village Idiot!
Currently Playing: Mass Effect 2, Pokemon Heart Gold, and some other games that aren't important

Mass Effect will make this respectable. It will probably outdo what FFXII got on Portal, not bad.

Outdoing FFXII will be very good. I don't think too many people expected that out of Mass Effect before the contest.

lol FFXII

Portal > Mass Effect > FFXII is one of the very few things I was right about in this contest

Do you think more casuals had Portal or Mass Effect?
---
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXL8Zd2hkiA&feature=related

If ME manages to outdo FF12, how likely is it that FF13 can beat ME2? It feels like ME2 was a much bigger deal compared to ME than FF13 was to FF12.

RE4 only did slightly better than FFIX in terms of Persona beatings.

P4 secret powerhouse, or RE4 blowing it?
---
I like how each new topic you make reveals such varied facets of your idiocy. - foolmo
Now this is entertainment!

I think Mass Effect was the casual favorite. That 2-seed probably gives it the edge among casuals.

I'd take ME2 with no hesitation, especially since the PS3 version is coming with all the DLC in a month.

Max Score: 168
Omitted scores got it wrong.

This might be the last really, really easy match. The top tiers absolutely kill this match. Everyone in the top 429 get the match right. -41s and better manage to stay over 90. Overall prediction percentage was still a bit shy of SSBB's, though.

No one fell off the Top 50.

"Let me believe what you've always believed! That living is wonderful!"
"Thank you so much... Thank you for loving me."

ME also had much higher bracket-percentages last round, though that could be because Portal had the more threatening four-pack with two FF-games and Gears 2.

P4 secret powerhouse, or RE4 blowing it?

I thought P4 was stronger than P3 pre-contest, and I still believe it.
---
"The great GF...Bahamut."
"...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..."

Portal is so freaking overrated. Rigged VGAs even gave Portal 2 the most "anticipated award".

Portal 2 is the most anticipated game right now for anyone that matters.

Good Times,
Great Memories

Huge cut.

Why hello there, ~3.5% jump.

Man, that Portal early vote is INSANE.

This is ridiculous.

"Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"

I'd expect a drop like this in, like, Gears of War vs. Melee
not in this match

GOTY? FF13 has no chance against ME2.

http://www.gifsoup.com/view2/1499384/me3-o.gif

Holy crap. If we have a match, I freakin' lose it.

I have also suddenly been blanketed by a wave of sadness toward Final Fantasy fans.

guess it took time for the announcement factor to kick in.
---
You may take Mr. Rogers down, but I will be back and become more powerful than you ever imagine
"tgs is taking it alone"

A 10% drop in 8 minutes.

That has to be some sort of record.
---
"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Also i would take ME over FFXII easily.

Skies of Arcadia is legit?

That's the best news I've heard all contest!

Although I think Skies might be above Crisis Core already! Who picks that if they meet up?

---
DFF

That was barely a gain of 30. We could be seeing a lot of cuts.

Happily, this result will probably convince some Board 8ers to try ME. A shocking win would get much of the board trying it immediately!

Whoa whoa whoa...SoA would actually give FFXII a good match?
---
It takes a genius to make something simple truly great.
Dr. Football, you are the man! I'll take you down next contest though...

What percentage does ME1 need to get here before we get Skies > FFXII?

I think Mass Effect needs 52.77%

All my confidence in FFXIII winning GotY has been thrown out the window despite it being the only Japanese multiplatform game of note.
