Cut! Inside the power hour. There was a surge of ME2 votes that update.

Minecraft only losing 10 votes that update. Needs to be about that level to stay in it.

Go type gamefaqs into reddit search. Nice to see a single person trying to rally every other match :D. The 2nd accounts and post history in the Minecraft thread give it away. Pretty sad
I know most people think SMG1 is stronger by a decent margin, but I still can't help but feel good about taking Super Metroid over it right now.

raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo
He won it in the year of the draggy crow
The Minecraft thread also has to get to the top of the subreddit and stay there, which is a lot easier to do with a larger base like LoL's. If there's going to be a rally of any consequence (more than 800 votes), I think it will have to come from somewhere else.

you can't look at every Journey vote as anti-FF7, especially since we aren't seeing any noticable antivoting like in the past. FF7 came out killing it oddly enough. it's become an underdog, finally.

Are you talking to me? I said I don't believe in any such base, these are almost all real Journey votes.

I think it's not an underdog so much as the rest of the day has gotten weaker while its Power Hour strength has stayed about the same. I suppose maybe that is because it's not considered the clear favorite anymore, I don't know.

But I don't think it will move much past the Power Hour, largely because we are now so un-trendy, and also because Journey just isn't the game to take advantage of Power Hour weakness. Does the board really care about Journey? I don't think so. No one here has reason to vote for it out of being fashionable. It used to be fashionable to anti-vote FF7 and I don't think that's so much the case anymore. But, it's still susceptible to rallies I think.

I don't have any real respect for Super Metroid's contest strength but it's not gonna drop a match to Galaxy. The Galaxies are just too weak, sadly.

Welcome to the League of Stickies.
I'll handle it like this: neither match matters in the grand scheme

now if mario rpg/oblivion is like this, crap

Ok I can't have this amazing Mass Effect upset happen only to lose the point if Minecraft wins

No sleep for me I guess.

I was worried about FFVII, especially after the last contest and seeing that FFVI > FFVII poll on the front page. Hopefully the haters have finally realized (1) FFVII doesn't always win and (2) it's not funny to anti-vote it anymore.

Ok yeah I think SMG2 is going to be in some trouble once the Power Hour ends.

Meanwhile Halo destroyed that update.

Mass Effect stalling this early feels better than Symphonia, but maybe I forgot and Symphonia start this around now too. The cut was definitely a lot earlier at any rate.

The rally won't take hold for a while, if it ever does. Bottom line is that on it's own. Minecraft isn't strong enough to beat Halo.

False correlation.

If you want something to make you feel better about the pick, it'd be old games consistently looking better than expected against new games.

Difference between this and Symphonia is that Mass Effect actually has a night vote.

Think ME1 wins this at this rate.
---
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
looking at maps, it seems like Minecraft will gain overnight and Galaxy/ME will be equal-ish, maybe a slight edge to ME.

but if Galaxy dies after the power hour, that'll kill it anyway.

Symphonia is a Power Hour game, just like TTYD. Along with AntiTrendsFAQs, the two games are just too similar in trends to begin with.

ME, though, it could make some hay out of this. Minecraft I dunno, doesn't feel like it's in it atm.

Tales was down 213 at this point while Mass Effect is down 185. Plus Tales should be a much stronger earlier game then ME. Its certainly looking better for ME

Its not a rally until it makes it to the front page. Anyway can make a "rally" on reddit. Several have been attempted during this contest. None of them contribute a thing unless they hit the front

Or it could just be going up against a 2 hour long PSN exclusive game that no one cares about.
anyway Super Metroid hype yes I am in

Galaxy 2 isn't close to Galaxy 1 though, and I'm not sure if I'd draw that conclusion. it's like.. I don't know, Mario World 2 to Yoshi's Island or something. that's extreme but it's the best I've got.

That, and western games are typically awful during the first hour relative to the rest of the match.

I think Mass Effect will be ahead by the time the night ends, but I feel like Super Mario Galaxy will fare a bit better once the day starts, which means it's anyone's match as I see it.

I've said it's probably like DKC1 to DKC2. DKC2 is the preferred game among hardcore platformer fans, but the original is considered an "instant classic" while the second is considered "more of the same" by casuals. Same thing here, probably.

Galaxy is looking doomed if it can't get any more traction than this in the Power Hour. The first update or two is front-loaded with bracketvoting and this board, which are bigger percentagewise than they were before due to the lower votals.

Minecraft.........is there a Halo rally or something?

Mass Effect has plenty of time before it needs to do anything serious. This is the Power Hour.

also, not that this is likely, but r/smashbros has 2726 active users currently, not LoL level but it could be a decent level
