Hourly vote totals for this match:

1:00 | 9060
2:00 | 5929
3:00 | 4587
4:00 | 3682
5:00 | 2911
6:00 | 2592
7:00 | 2768
8:00 | 3112
9:00 | 3833
10:00 | 4190
11:00 | 4347
12:00 | 4586
13:00 | 4811
14:00 | 4459
15:00 | 4210
16:00 | 4725
17:00 | 4910
18:00 | 4222
19:00 | 3736
20:00 | 3499
21:00 | 3323
22:00 | 3267

That looks like a diluted ASV to me. The normal ASV hours could have slightly inflated vote totals because of the rallying. A match that completely lacks any ASV would have the lowest vote totals in the 6:00-7:00 PM hour. With a normal ASV, 5:00-6:00 AM has the lowest vote totals of any hour.

After 8:00 PM, vote totals are barely dropping at all, suggesting that there is a lot of rallying going on right now.

I'll be happy if we get any kinda bonus on Christmas Eve.

If Majora wins:

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask vs. Super Smash Bros. Melee

If Brawl wins:

A poll asking "Is Super Smash Bros. Brawl REALLY the game of the decade (you dumbasses)?" with various options that would force the voters to concede our stupidity.

If MM wins, we need OoT vs MM.
OoT will show MM who's the true boss around here.


Imagine JUST FOR A SECOND that MM wins the bonus match against OoT

The world would implode...It would be awesome

The only way we get a bonus match is for Bacon to run 2 polls on that day, each one lasting 12 hours. The bonus match would be a night match, while the second half of the day would have a poll related to this contest.

Ha! Ninja's Luster this time.

I really think if the battle contest is going to be a regular addition to the bracket contest, there needs to be a better way of doing the final.

I think a m"3rd Place Bonus Match" in between the last semi final and final would be awesome. Where the two losers of the semi-final have a match for 3rd place. In this case Fallout 3 vs FFX. That would give a 24 hour break where people could submit their battle contest picks for the last match, as well as spend more time making awesome final match pics etc.

Heh.

Well, it'd be good if FFX could at least make it look close on paper - say, less than 200 votes?

Oh wow, Majora's Mask is actually winning. Usually I find Link winning all the time to be a bad result, but I am actually really liking Majora's run this contest. I decided to give the game a shot because of how it has done and I am not really a fan of Zelda games.

FFX needs a 0.02% increase every ten minutes to pull ahead and it just lost 0.01%. So unless it has a surge of voting within the next hour, MM is going to keep this lead to the end.

FFX is about to break the 300 barrier again. Too late for that though, it would be Frog/MC Tier if FFX made a 300 votes comeback in 1 hour and 20 minutes
The Immortal Phoenix | Posted 12/22/2010 7:37:27 PM | message detail
And there is another 0.02% increase for FFX. I swear it it pulled ahead and won with something like 50.1% or so. That would be so bloody awesome.

20 vote cuts per update, I think? Heh.

But like I said, something around the 200 area is a good total for such a good match.

Well duh, I could have sworn that it was every 10 minutes but after this one I could check that it updates every 5, I'm stupid.

313 votes diference, MM won this update. FFX won't have a miracle.
draarrowgant | Posted 12/22/2010 7:47:38 PM | message detail
A big EFFF to four chan. As Red Sox said many hours ago this was the most legit match of the contest. Or maybe that was the last one. Anyway, after this kind of equilibrium, I think it only fair to wonder if 4chan rallying put MM over.

And NO. I am not a person who still believes nothing is possible in the next hour and fourteen minutes.

A poll asking "Is Super Smash Bros. Brawl REALLY the game of the decade (you dumbasses)?" with various options that would force the voters to concede our stupidity.

You can concede stuipidity implicitly, bonus poll can be:

"How do you feel about Super Smash Brothers Melee winning GotD?"

Melee fans will vote YAY! and Brawl fans won't notice the switcheroo and do likewise.
