The site has less traffic. I'm pretty sure that's the main reason anyways. Some sites are gaining some popularity due to their walkthroughs having pictures and videos and stuff. There's probably also a small amount of people who genuinely don't care about the contests or hate that two main series dominate the whole thing too.

I stopped caring and hardly even glance at these contests because I am so fed up of seeing something Nintendo win. OoT may be a fantastic game however it does get redundant when everything Zelda/Mario related wins on this site.


You're gonna love this decade. Square falls apart while Nintendo stabilizes. Nothing can stop Nintendo on this site now.

Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest.

It is a good thing I hardly care and do not frequent this site much. Mass Effect is more or less my fix much.

It just is. 1v1s just feel more epic. In the same way, any 12-hour match is going to have a very hard time making my top 10 list. Plus, 4-ways are not as legitimate- who knows who Samus's votes would have gone to.

I don't think format should be taken into account on how epic a match is, if it's close everything gets thrown out from format to whether it was logical that the two entrants should be close.

Who cares where Samus' votes would have gone, that's like not calling SMB3/LoZ great because SMW/SMB were in the poll.

It seems that FFX wants to get a more than dignified finale, 200 barrier about to be broken, it will not make a comeback but considering how things turned out after Majora's took the lead, this score is really respectable for FFX
Jman_maximum | Posted 12/22/2010 8:39:18 PM | message detail
FFX seems to be the stronger game naturaly if anything

MM got a freaking youtube video with over 1000 views asking for votes, as well as the whole 4chan thing.

i'm sure all the rallying must've gathered at least like a thousand votes...well, certainly more than what Majora will end up winning by
Agent M | Posted 12/22/2010 8:39:40 PM | message detail
FFX making a small push, but too little and to late I think.

Really impressed that MM actually pulled it off.

Rallying doesn't work like that. Maybe 15% of those views voted DUE to the video...maybe. And The same applies to trollchan.

Those people would have voted for Zelda one way or the other. All that the video did was get them to the site.

there were only 5 votes on the last update, 4 for FFX and 1 for Majora's. The moon is almost on your head, FFX

Heh, FFX just cannot penetrate the 200 vote barrier. Probably won't do it now, either.

FFX now needs 73.7 per update to won. >_>

When it's finals time you see links to the contest being spread around in a lot of places. It's kind of awesome, until the complaining about previous results starts. A decent portion of the 4chan Majora thread last night was people complaining Melee lost to Brawl.

Soooo, shall we call this the match of the contest? Or is there a match that it's skipping my mind that was better than this?
Evillordexdeath | Posted 12/22/2010 8:47:50 PM | message detail
The match really isn't moving at all at the moment, and with only about three updates left, I'd say it's safe to call this one in favour of Majora's Mask now.

Only Shadow of the Colossus' run and Melee/Brawl can really compare to this. I'd say it would be safe to say that.

This is purely an opinion question; there's no criteria for how good a much is other than how much you enjoyed it/were excited in it/cared about it/etc. For me, 4-way matches and 12-hour matches just have a very hard time matching 24-hour 1v1s. There's a certain level above which they find it almost impossible to enter.

Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest.

This is the match of the contest unless Brawl/MM exceeds it, which will be hard.

My favorite is probably Persona 4 vs Dead Rising since P4 will most likely have difficulty ever making round 3 of a contest again. I also prefer SotC vs the two MGS games. I really hate the current match, but that's due to the current result more than anything else.
