Yeah but the ASV is now when NA wakes up, and we all know that it will favor MM. --- How would a Kirby that has eaten me look like? (Made by KG) http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af128/kirbys_gal11/ctesjbuvf.png |

From: The Immortal Phoenix | #1960 The unpredictable thing here is that the current NA %age is probably inflated by the Power Hour bias towards MM. But at the same time, once the late morning/afternoon trends start up, Zelda should increase its NA %age from where it is at the time. This is a very dynamic match. --- Save_Us.Teedus |

A 60% update there. FFX gained 89 votes over the last two updates. It might build up a decent lead yet. |

Wow,
FFX put its foot on the accelerator the past hour. It took its time,
but its finally making use of the night. It'll definitely break 1000 by
morning at this rate. And of course while I'm typing that, there's the first Majora's Mask in an hour. --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |

@koobeeny:
Those happened to be the final two in Crispy Gamer's Game of the Decade
contest. Though the thing is, that contest did not even have SSBB, FFX,
or MM. Yep looks like FFX quite messing around. Oh well, whatever. GameFAQs and its JRPGs. We think SotC was legit and not bandwagoned, right? --- Currently Playing - Zelda: Majora's Mask, Smash Bros. Melee Next Games Up - Resident Evil 4, Okami, StarCraft |

Guys I don't understand how the last battle pick is supposed to work. Can someone explain it? From what I can tell, I think it works like this: If you think Brawl will win, pick one of these options: Super Smash Bros. Brawl Brawl over Final Fantasy X, Majora's Mask over Brawl If you think Final Fantasy X will win, pick one of these options: Final Fantasy X over Brawl, Majora's Mask over Brawl Final Fantasy X over Brawl, Brawl over Majora's Mask And finally, if you think Majora's Mask will win, pick one of these options: Brawl over Final Fantasy X, Majora's Mask over Brawl Final Fantasy X over Brawl, Majora's Mask over Brawl --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |
Janus5000 | Posted 12/22/2010 2:34:03 AM | message detail |
More simply: there are two possible finals. Since the last finalist is undetermined, you pick a result for both. If you think Brawl beats either FFX or MM, pick the first one. For something like this: Brawl over Final Fantasy X, Majora's Mask over Brawl it basically says if FFX wins, you pick Brawl, and in MM wins, you pick MM. --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
-Tofa7- | Posted 12/22/2010 2:36:19 AM | message detail |
It's simple really. Luster explained it, but I think this might be easier to understand. Super Smash Bros. Brawl You think Brawl will win no matter who it faces between FFX and MM. Brawl over Final Fantasy X, Majora's Mask over Brawl You think Brawl will win if its facing FFX. But if it's facing MM, you think MM will win. Final Fantasy X over Brawl, Majora's Mask over Brawl You think Brawl will lose no matter who it faces between FFX and MM Final Fantasy X over Brawl, Brawl over Majora's Mask You think Brawl will lose if it faces FFX, but will win if it faces MM. --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |

Ah
OK that makes sense. For some reason I thought we would have to make
the last pick "blind", but this makes more sense with how the rest of
the battle challenge went. --- Inter-planetary-mega-stellar-hydro-static. There's no gravity between us. Our love is automatic. |

I lucked out of the battle contest a long time ago, so I haven't really given it as much thought as I should. If I had to choose though, despite it failing to impress against Twilight Princess and Fallout 3, I think Brawl will still easily take the match. I don't think Majora will have a chance if it makes it through, as the Nintendo fans will favor Brawl. If FFX makes it through, Brawl would be under a little more threat i think, but I still think it will sneak out a win. My gut feeling said Brawl would be the winner before the contest started, and following my gut has got me to 7th on the leaderboard. I have no reason to stop trusting it now. --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
-Tofa7- | Posted 12/22/2010 2:53:17 AM | message detail |
Also,
these 20 minute Majora's Mask stalls are a thing of beauty. Hopefully
it can keep it up. FFX doesn't look like it'll reach the target 1500
vote lead by morning at this rate. This match will get very interesting
over the next few hours. --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |

This was brought up before by someone else, but now I'm really starting to beleive it: There seems to be a direct correlation between ExTha posts and FFX vote spikes. When you left earlier in the match Majora was cutting and stalling the whole time >_> --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |

to say FFX isn't just like FFVII and won't just gain in NA% all day? If
it is like that (big if), I think it can weather the Zelda day vote. --- 29/11/2010. Never forget. http://64.210.151.102/image.html?u=12565&dateline=1210104981 |

Only
a small number of schools haven't gotten off yet. My high school runs
until December 23rd as the last day of school before the Christmas
break and I'm sure a lot of other schools in my state do the same thing
too. It's probably a regional thing as to when schools get off for
Christmas break. Didn't realize it was almost 6am in the East Coast. Hell, it might not even hit 1000. It is about 6 AM here, because I'm on the East Coast. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

The
only issue is that FFX may not be as balanced as FO3. MM may not be as
day-crushing as Brawl, but FFX has proven to be a creature of the night. --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |

By
8am, there will still be ~55000 more votes left to be cast. If Majora
can average 51% of the vote for the rest of the match from that point,
it'll gain ~1100 votes on FFX. My estimates could be way off, since this is the first time I've bothered to do calculations like this, but I think if Majora can keep FFX under 1000 by the time morning hits, it'll still have a decent shot at pulling of the upset. --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |

From: Lopen | Posted: 12/22/2010 10:20:36 PM | #437 It has 50.82, which is damn close. And when the kiddies wake up, you know they'll be favoring Zelda. It'll basically come down to: - How much effect the diluted ASV actually has. - How strong the 2nd night vote is. My money would still be on FFX at this point, but I refuse to give up on MM.

Where does Fierce Deity Link place within the hierarchy of Link incarnations? He's obviously the most powerful, and also the "coolest" edging out Dark Link, but he's nowhere near as Iconic as the classic adult Link. So: Fierce Deity vs Toon Link Fierce Deity vs Dark Link Fierce Deity vs Young Link Fierce Deity vs Ganondorf Fierce Deity vs Classic Link --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |

Classic > Young > Fierce Diety >= Toon >>>> Ganondorf Unsure about Toon Link, I think Brawl might have given him a decent boost. Also, if the different Link's were separated like that in an actual contest, for some reason I think I'd take Dark Link over every Link except Classic >_> --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
