Votals are now back to exactly what they were at yesterday. Basically the first 15 minutes today were just front-loaded to the first five.

Most of what Melee is doing is just Portal weakness.

But I had said before the contest that probably my biggest surprise was the lack of discussion Melee vs. FF7 was getting. If FF7 even gets past FF6.

And if it beats FF7, I can see Melee getting bandwagoned against R/B. Less so against SM64.

I also don't think Portal 2 should have any trouble doing what it needs to do, this is unironically Popular Game SFF from Melee today.

The worst part is I'm serious.

(fine, just take it as more evidence that Melee's going to the finals, whatever)

Welcome to the League of Stickies.
Portal 1 is nowhere near as relevant as it used to be.

Mostly because no one was sure if it was even going to win its division!

Yeah I'm more concerned with GSC

it could seriously go the distance with melee if it picks up a couple percentage points throughout the day

Im genuinely surprised by the lack of Melee vs FF7 discussion. I have Melee winning and Im sure it'll be a close match.
I'm not going to discuss Melee vs. FF7 when I have CT vs. FF6.

6:00 AM - 28.27%
9:00 AM - 40.77%
12:00 PM - 57.19%
6:00 PM - 81.59%

This should give you an idea of how to project the final vote totals in today's matches.

Congrats to 2013 Guru champ raytan!
Melee vs. GSC would be interesting if we hadn't seen Majora/GSC. though maybe Pokemon is just a monster now. it's certainly got the performance of the day going on right now.

no, Melee definitely looks better here. Portal >>> TWEWY

MMX rocks the Power Hour and does well during the day. Batman manages to break 40% during the late night and early morning.

Portal looks so much worse in today's match compared to that impressive performance against RE4 in GotD. I am hoping that Smash falls a lot overnight to make this match look more reasonable.

I really hope we're just delayed in getting the leaderboard and assorted stats. It'd be a real downer if we're just not getting them, can hardly imagine that's the case though.

I think G/S/C might be overperforming a bit due to TWEWY's title being pretty incomprehensible.

Impressed that KHII is doing so well as the II and 4 aren't really that obvious in the pics.

I know, but the the II isn't super noticeable either, so it kind of comes across as MGS Vs. KH in the abstract, which should favor MGS.

Also, assuming a constant KH2, MGS4's X-Stat value (based on MM in GOTD) would be 31.52%, nearly a 10% drop from the 41.42% it had in GOTD.

That would put it below Chrono Cross and San Andreas.

From the looks of it, I think the updater is working fine. I will say that the results pages can be a little glitchy at times. The large majority of the time, you will see the correct vote totals. Rarely, you will sometimes see vote totals that are slightly off. If you tried refreshing one of the results pages a bunch of times in between the normal 5 minute updates (try doing it around 12:57 AM EST, in between the normal 12:55 AM and 1:00 AM update), you might see slightly different vote totals.
