Heartstone should take oot to 88% until the day vote kicks in. Zelda is terrible in europe.

So FFIX has gained a full percent since I last saw. This close match could be fun.

getting pretty nervous now

Like I said a while ago, MGS4's reception has soured over time while FFIX's has gone the opposite route, while we know from GOTD that KH2 is stronger than KH1. So FFIX would only have had to be worth like 56% on MGS4 for FFIX/KH to be in question.

Well FFIX is winning at the moment but it's not building a huge lead in any kind of a hurry really. KH is probably still in this.

2 cuts in a row when FFIX should be building a strong cushion. KH is a big favourite for this match.

FFIX is back on the rise, but not very quickly.

25 vote gain that time. Keep doing that.

hmm. all logic tells me that KH will win with it ahead in the US and it being the better day vote game by far, but I know better than to expect trends in this contest. interesting match.

xyzzy
Yeah, if I thought trends were anything like usual this contest, I'd feel good about KH.

but i don't so i feel pretty bad

Well this is one slow rise from FFIX.

Is this MGS2/SOTC all over again?
---
"Nothing I could do!"
-Darksydephil
FFIX already has like double the lead of either of those games ever had.

That match was literal insanity.

FF is building a lead VERY slowly.
Still if it ends up like Galaxy vs Mass Effect, 400 will be enough.
If Kingdom Hearts had its godly ASV then FFIX would be in deep trouble.

As is, this match is still very much up in the air, but I think FFIX's got it. In that case, half the games that made it to the 2001-2003 Divisional Final in 2009 will be out already!

Though Diablo II just drew a lucky path (literally only Halo and SFFd Wind Waker back when it was still hated) and KH was probably much more popular back then, plus its toughest competition was MGS2.

KH will win. Look at the USA's percentages. Just wait until the kiddies wake up!

Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing?
FFIX has almost no chance. It will get mauled during the day. It needed a lead of +1,000 to have a chance. It can't even get to 400.

Just as I say that, KH cuts.

Also holy s*** OoT is pulling 93%+ updates now.

Wonder if it can get up to 91% during the day.

Same thing with Mario Galaxy VS Mass Effect. When USA woke up, Mass Effect won easily. At least the better game won. Now here I like both games and I am fan of both series but since I don't have played KH 1, I support FF 9. Vivi beat Mario you know!

If Warcraft III loses to Okami that will be the first lose that I feel isn't right. Warcraft 3 was an amazing rts experience that still holds up as a solid game.
I find it hard to have faith in either of the entrants.

FF9 isn't up by much and the day will likely favor KH.

But trends are so diluted KH may only stall a lot rather than really cut.

If pushed I think I'd rather have KH.

Reports of FFIX's imminent collapse have been greatly exaggerated
Well damn it got over 400. Still think it would take at least double this to hold off KH during the day, but damn maybe trends really will be diluted.

The would be the first wrong pick I was happy about.

Today's match really makes Grand Theft Auto look a lot better. I still don't know who I would take between FF8 and FF9, but pre-rally, it looked like GTA:VC would break 42-43% on FF8. Pre-contest, this match was far too close to call in my mind. But after KH2 killed MGS4 and FF8 didn't look impressive against Vice City, I raised my oracle to 55% for Kingdom Hearts. I think I wasn't giving GTA enough credit, though, because I thought 58% on Vice City was pretty uninspiring.
---

Yeah I think GTA might have recovered. Hopefully not enough to swing San Andreas/Chrono Cross or GTA5/(SM RPG/Oblivion), but it could happen, in which case the casuals will really show us up.

Okami is also a brilliant game. It's not like warrant is losing to some niche low budget jrpg or an overrated Pokemon game like x and y

I think FF9 might have this simply because Europe is heavily favoring FF right now. KH is winning in the US and that will come into play, but the difference in other regions is a bit larger than a lot of closer matches tend to be.

so is KH still favored to win the day vote? need to know for spread betting purposes.

Hmmm, yeah, right now I like FFIX's chances here. Oh well, I probably like it a bit more than KH anyway.

"Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything."
The kiddies are waking up....and saying f*** you Kingdom Hearts!
Once upon a time, the European vote was completely ignored round here.

But in close matches, it can play deciding factor.

Welp I need to be up in 6 hours so I'm going to call it a night. Hopefully when I wake up FFIX will still have a decent lead!

Actually, that regional vote trend that was posted earlier points to the European vote really dropping off around 10 or 11 Eastern. I would expect Kingdom Hearts to really start cutting into the lead in about 2 to 3 hours. This last hour is actually Europe's strongest time of the day.
---
Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness.
IIRC Canada has around 0.4 as many votes as the US so it's pretty much countering 80% of US votes. Of course that can change during the day.

Just wait until the Californian kiddies wake up.

BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT>Hearthstone, Suikoden II>MH4U, Okami>Warcraft III, FFIX>KH

Yeah the US is for KH but the rest of the western hemisphere is not.

KH needs more than just a shift to western hemisphere votes I think. It needs a boost in what it's getting.

Well, Mass Effect gained about 850 votes over SMG2 from Mario's peak lead until the end of the match. So, I will consider this match over if by noon either FF9 can break the 1000 lead barrier or KH does not start making steady cuts with every update.
