Yeah,
these votals are pretty horrible, even keeping in mind that these
aren't the most elite games duking it out. On par with 2004 or the
latter rounds of 2005 when votals really dropped off due to school. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |

Speaking of CT/FFVII- as further evidence CT was bandwagoned, that poll outdrew OOT/FFVII. Well, not to say that CT wasn't bandwagoned, but I'm not sure why that would boost votals by more than it would boost CT's percentage, assuming votals are based on some sort of average strength. --- "Ahem!

...heh, can you Twitter/Facebook tomorrow's match? If a movement were to start, it'd be hard to stop. Maybe. It depends if it's counted as a contest match (though an unofficial one). I remember the 2008 and 2009 bonus matches linking to the contest board instead of linking to the Poll of the Day board, so those 2 bonus matches would have the Twitter/Facebook links if they had existed back then. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Link has easily been the biggest contest power ever known on this site while Santa will try and act as a measuring stick to any future fictional character contest. Personally I wouldn’t hold my breath as SBAllen has been on record on saying that he doesn’t want a fictional contest. Still this match will be a real treat, especially considering that the match will be on Christmas Eve, just before Santa goes and delivers his presents. Santa does have one trick up his sleeve and that’s the fact that Christmas is almost here and maybe people with Christmas cheer may vote for Santa because of the time of year. This makes the match pretty hard to predict, but in the end I feel that Link will have this match. The guy is GameFAQs and as much as people love Christmas people on this site also love Zelda. Even if we had a fictional contest I don’t see Santa being very strong and while the date may boost his strength I feel that Link will have no problem winning. I think I may be sick by watching these results. charmander6000’s Prediction: Link wins, 66.67% - 33.33% --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 268/384 Today's Winner: Super Smash Bros.

real "versus" finale was yesturday's poll (and it was a worthy match),
brawl vs mm seems more like one of those "fun facts" aftermath matches.

I thought of three possible stat adjustments for the top half of the bracket: -Give Half-Life 2 its '09 value against Twilight Princess, and adjust the rest of its quarter of the bracket from there. -Next, give Halo based on its '09 value against GTAIII and adjust its half division from there. -Somewhat controversial: give DPP its '09 value against Mario Galaxy and adjust its fourpack from there.

Metroid Prime getting 56% on a game that it couldn't even break 40% on last contest is awfully fishy, for one thing. I'd just like to see how such stats would pan out. I do have a bit of a feeling that the Halo and Elder Scrolls franchises dropped in strength this year, but their competition just sucked, however. --- Currently Playing - Zelda: Majora's Mask, Smash Bros.
