It's the morning vote in the UK right around now. That's a good sign for the US morning vote in 6 hours.

It may not have been popular outside of those regions, but to imply that that is really relevant here is dubious. Melee has been stomping everything in its path. It's not as though it's been just getting by.

Who you gonna root for? Who's it gonna be?
Is it Brawl, Final Fantasy or will you pick Melee?

the Gamecube didn't even do well here. it just did worse everywhere else.

this site is just the last remaining place where the Gamecube is actually thought of really positively.

What's the largest difference an entrant has come back from?

Right now it's what, 2k? That's too much, folks. It was a good shot, Melee won, I learned something (I think...). Grats to the winners.

Brawl is dominating europe, and will likely get the morning vote.

Not sure where the Melee praise is coming from, when it can't even impress at its best time.

Yeah, the way the UK is trending has been the best news for Melee. UK tends to increase as a %age of Europe over time I believe.

The UK board vote was for Brawl for some reason but since then Melee has looked good.

Yeah, I'm not really interested in reading the entire last topic, so...

Here are the stats for yesterday's match. The updater broke and so I don't have any data for the last 7 hours of the match. I'm guessing Luster or somebody has them.

Half-Life 2 – 49.27%
God of War – 44.96%
Tales of Symphonia – 43.65%

I have them. I sent an email to creativename with the missing updates, but they haven't been added yet. Instead, I'll post a trend chart myself since I have the missing updates that I need for a full trend chart.

Time | M. Prime | Half-Life 2 | Votes
0:05 | 52.69% | 47.31% | 725
1:00 | 52.71% | 47.29% | 6746
2:00 | 51.01% | 48.99% | 5730
3:00 | 51.52% | 48.48% | 5437
4:00 | 52.07% | 47.93% | 5598
5:00 | 51.52% | 48.48% | 5386
6:00 | 50.08% | 49.92% | 5260
7:00 | 50.47% | 49.53% | 4644
8:00 | 49.98% | 50.02% | 4324
9:00 | 48.22% | 51.78% | 4112
10:00 | 48.54% | 51.46% | 3591
11:00 | 50.38% | 49.62% | 3319
12:00 | 49.33% | 50.67% | 2923

Metroid Prime wins the first 7 hours, while Half-Life 2 comes back and wins 4 out of the last 5 hours of the match.

Dude, for every BT post from now on you just have to imagine him as the janitor dude from The Simpsons. Makes him legitimately hilarious, and not in a bad way.

Yeah, only 828 votes is a very vulnerable lead. HL2 cut 334 votes from MP's peak lead in the last 4:15. Result could well have been different in a 24 hour match.

And probably would have been different in a night match.

Melee is winning by a larger percentage in the UK than Brawl is winning by in Europe. That's a good sign. Since the UK is one hour behind most of Europe, they have to wait an extra hour to influence the poll results than the rest of Europe.

Yeah, Melee's up to 55% (!) in the UK. If Brawl's going to take the night vote, it'll have to do it most on the strength of Asia.....which contributes like 3% of our votes.
