When I played Call of Duty on Wii the lag wasn't bad but it was lacking in many options (i'm talking about WaW), but from what I heard Black Ops on Wii has almost everything that the HD versions have.

They're joking, clearly it'll be the Zelda that comes out in 2018.

Hmm. Could also be a problem with getting the most out of the console so early in its lifetime. I don't know.

If they turn epic Zelda boss fights into Wii Sports games like that scorpion looks to be, then it'll be lucky to be next decade's Wind Waker.

Implying Wind Waker would not have won if MM wasn't in this contest.

What's crazy is the update in 10 minutes is when MM started hitting the NOS on FFX. Should be interesting to see how that compares to Brawls slow comeback right now.

Link arrived at the gates of Hyrule Castle Town. The drawbridge was lowered, and he walked across, through the town, and to the castle unopposed. Then he saw: in front of the castle stood all 24 members of the Order of the Super Melee Knights, minus himself. But there were 10 extras, whom he had never inducted into the order there.......including the man with the bandanna. Sudden recognition flooded back- this was Solid Snake.

~~~

Snake: Welcome, Link. As you can see, I have inducted a few new members into our order. Oh, and as the new Grandmaster, I've changed its name to the Order of the Super Brawl Comrades.
Marth: I object! We are proper knights trained in the noble art of melee and projectile combat, not some untrained Communist scum that engages in low street brawls.
Snake: Oh, but you are, you pretentious hateful arrogant servile tyrannical scum. For long years, I have dreamed of taking down Nintendo and Link.......and now I have done it, from the inside. Link, do you recognize this?
Zelda: The Master Sword!
Snake: I rule your kingdom now. Your army obeys me, for I have injected them with nanomachines.......the moment they betray me, the virus will activate and shortly thereafter, they will be dead.
Ganondorf: You are a fool, Snake. Link doesn't care for his army. He'll gladly sacrifice us to accomplish a whim of his, and killing you would be more than a whim.
Snake: No, I intend to use you to destroy him. Now, Link, surrender. Or, the 34 of us will destroy you.
Ganondorf: HAHAHAHA. You really don't understand, do you, Snake? The source of the power of the Kingdom of Nintendo was never ours. It was always Link. I've fought him enough to know. Snake, let me tell you: Link. Is. God.
Snake: We'll see about that.

~~~

Link smiled broadly at Ganondorf's statement. But now Snake acted very rapidly. He took a dagger in both hands and simultaneously plunged them into Ganondorf and Zelda's chests. Two golden triangles appeared on their hands, and came out of them. A third golden triangle appeared on Snake's hand, and the joined together in front of Snake. The Triforce! But how could Snake have gotten that? Frantically Link tried to pull the Triforce pieces to himself with his will force, but it was too late, Snake had laid hands upon them.....

Snake was the master of the complete Triforce. The complete Triforce. Link heard Snake speak triumphantly amid the gasps of shock going through the Nintendo army.

Snake: Triforce, I WISH for Link's annihilation!

The Triforce flared and a golden beam shot out at Link. A red circle opened in the air in front of Link, and he fell through just as the golden beam struck the portal.

Wouldn't do anything, Ganondorf would laugh. Made all the more insane by the fact you gave Snake the Master Sword.

1:00 | 52.66%
2:00 | 51.06%
3:00 | 51.88%

6:00 | 52.24%

9:00 | 52.76%

11:00 | 51.66%
12:00 | 49.61%
13:00 | 48.87%
14:00 | 49.69%

Projections:

Based on yesterday: Majora's Mask with 50.27%
Based on OOT/Brawl: Majora's Mask with 51.56%
Based on OOT/Melee: Majora's Mask with 50.63%

As expected, Brawl is doing better than what its 2 OOT projections would indicate and has gained ground on them. It's lost ground relative to MM/FFX, indicating that the day vote gap between these 2 games isn't as large as yesterday. FFX's SNV victory presents something of a danger to MM here though, because those trends assume MM will likewise win the SNV against Brawl which I think unlikely.

Overall, MM is still the big favorite but I can't call the match yet.

Please God let the ASV favor Brawl. I originally didn't want to see a Smash Bros win because it was the cookie-cutter pick. But I'll take that over Majora's Mask winning easily. (I hate MM specifically, not Zelda or Nintendo, which I generally love.)
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/23/2010 11:40:06 AM | message detail
red sox, you've got me on pins and needles. Best story ever.

Majora is doing well to keep this around 1300. As we saw yesterday, the ASV was diluted and truncated, and today's may be even less effective (we are one day closer to Christmas). Best day ever.

I really wish MM could have won under better circumstances. I know we've had entrants been rallied before, but they've never gone on to win the contest. I mean, other than L-Block I guess, and that's not even clear. And with such homophobic elements to the rallying as well.

Evillordexdeath | Posted 12/23/2010 11:48:58 AM | message detail
To be fair, MM might have pulled off the win either way.

I'm also fairly certain there was some rallying going on for FFX in some places.

Nothing wrong with rallying. Rallying improves contests, in fact, it's stuffing that's bad (and we really need more votals with the horrid state they're in this year). The reason no previous winner has been rallied is because Link/Zelda usually beats everything in their path by at least a few thousand.

Just because the core concept remains that same does not mean that the execution was as good in both attempts. This has been explained (and in much greater depth) multiple times by other people. I don't see why you're still babbling on about this nonsense when it has already been explained to you.

Poor Brawl hasn't even broken the 49% plane yet. It probably will, since a preserved ~1300 vote lead eventually becomes less than 2% of the overall vote, but it's simply got no chance if it doesn't make a move RIGHT NOW. And it doesn't look like it's going to.
