Oh wow the CT guys are under 51.5%

I wonder if this will amount to little more than the "slowest comeback ever" just like Half-Life 2 did against Metroid Prime last year. Heck, this match involves a Valve entrant in the "loser's seat" as well!

Didn't Half-Life 2 barely win the ASV over Metroid Prime? Well...would it be possible to project this match's results through that?

The ASV is going to absolutely murder CT later, like it always does.

Even still, I have no idea if this match is good or no-- ah who the F cares it's FINALLY A MATCH WORTH WATCHING GOD BLESS YOU FROG

If Trigger were popular in Europe I think Crono would have been in the Clinkeroth-tier until 2006, maybe later. Hell, Trigger might have won the Games Contest in 2004. Mega Man is a rougher one because I think if he were stronger in Europe it could easily spread to the rest of Nintendo since he's pretty pseudo-Nintendo and that's a whole different can of worms.

Edit: I did not realize Mario freaking doubled Mega Man in Europe last CB. I'll stand by my point anyways but damn.

Crono definitely would have been more popular if CT existed in Europe during the SNES era, MM just isn't appealing. SNES also sold less than Megadrive in Europe i think or certainly UK.

#228 | __Smurf__ | Posted 11/30/2011 6:35:41 AM | message detail
The Mega-Drive was much more the Xbox of its time in Europe, it was the more popular casual console. The Snes wasn't far behind it and was far from obscure but even then it was the more popular choice of the gaming hardcore, which is probably a bigger slice of the Europeans who visit here.

Why CT does bad in Europe is perfectly understandable, its was widely regarded here as a great game which never was. Had it been released it would have had the same kind of success it had elsewhere.
Mega Man? It's present here but is just so incredibly irrelevant I literally had never even heard of him before I came to gamefaqs. After playing some of his games I refuse to believe Europe are the strange ones for detesting them.

#229 | transcience | Posted 11/30/2011 6:37:39 AM | message detail
so a ~1000 vote lead by the time the day vote hits in a contest with half the vote totals

could be good, but it needs to be a clear edge for Portal in the day. Portal is not a day vote game and CT will not go down easily in the final hours.

Honestly, Frog/Magus might not fall that hard with the ASV. I mean, if Portal could only move 140 votes with maximum Europe influence, they might not even be able to move twice that with the ASV.

Frogus probably has this, I see the ASV being more of a stall if anything. I could see the Portal guys cutting maybe like 300 votes or something, but I think this lead is too much.

Xbox 1? Xbox1 was never casual, it was basically a halo Box. Unless you mean the 360 which is FAR more popular this gen and in UK 360 has almost a double sales lead over PS3.

Of course.Here in my country,EVERYONE had a PS1 and a PS2.The other consoles it was like they never existed.And the reason was piracy,I mean pretty much everyone had pirated games.Now in other countries of Europe piracy wasn't that big but here it was around 90%.

Nawp, the only country Xbox is winning is America, which granted is the one that matter most.

Given that Alucard lost a close match with Liquid Snake and Frog won a close match with Liquid Snake and that Alucard/Frog is going to be a close match, no.

(Serious answer: Yeah.)

Would anyone be giving Portal a chance if this was in the old days and Frog was already up by 1600?

800 votes doesn't sound like a lot but with the little votes coming in, its a bigger hurdle to overcome than it sounds

Given that it's Frog he could be up 1600 votes with these votals and I'd still half-expect the match to end within 100 votes.
