Predicting a cut in either this update or the next one.


Well, apparently not this update!

AUGH. Why did it have to be close. This would've been lots easier to accept if the vampires would've just won in a blowout.

Whose day vote is worse?

Does anybody have a worse day vote than CT?

Probably Chrono Trigger's. There's no bright spots here for Team CT. They don't have the lead early (which they needed), they'll get hurt in a few hours when the Euro vote starts getting stronger, and they'll struggle all day. The match is over.

Well, CT will get hurt pretty badly with the Euro vote, so Alucard/Dracula will probably rise quite a bit overnight.

But whatever the percentage is when we get to the day vote, it probably won't budge too much from there.

As soon as it decided your bracket, Frog/Magus were screwed.

epic 1 vote cut




Wasn't it a one vote cut before LoZ started rolling SMB3 like a freight train (then Goose let SMB 3 cheat on the last update, cause he is not any good at his job, but the point remains).

Nah, this just means Frog took over for an update.

I just payed attention to the last digits. I did not think that Alucard would go up like a rocket (I though the difference was 4 on the last digit for some reason) therefore I did not see 1800 to 1600 till I checked again. God damn cheaters.

The trends were in LOZ's favor though. LoZ was getting votes from the people who grew up on OOT and were franchise voting, while SMB3 was winning NES fans voting on the merits of the games. so LoZ dominated the day vote.

You do know a lot of us grew up on the original LOZ and voted it on its merits, right?

Which is ironic, being that SMB3 (especially when compared to the best NES game) doesn't have the merits as a game. Not even the best game in it's own series on the NES.

It's the same with me. It's really all about what you get brought up with. Most people I know prefer Sonic to Mario, too, and that went almost 50/50 in the UK.

Certainly, but the fact remains that LOZ did so much better with the day vote for a reason. I'm not saying anything about the quality of the games myself.

I'm convinced vampires got it. That only leaves two more possible upsets in my mind:

samus>trainers
trainers>mario

I'm pretty certain trainers take the first one and I'm really liking them in the second too. That might be where I finally break from the pack, but I'll wait and see how they do against Samus. Which upset do you guys think is more likely at this point?
