I'm honestly disappointed at how weak DKC2 is coming off as.

When MMX, SMW, and likely Super Metroid all show to be strong and DKC2 doesn't, that's upsetting.

I thought Donkey Kong Country was well regarded, what gives? This has better be a sign of Xenoblade's strength so it looks like either games can beat Awakening next round, because at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Awakening beats either games here.


They're both extremely strong games.

10 vote lead for DK
there goes bracket
Going back to B-K/SOTN projections from GOTD:

Based on B-K's current percentage, it would be worth 33.68% on Majora's Mask, in between AC2 and UC2.

Based on SOTN's current percentage, it would be worth 36.33% on Majora's Mask, in between FFIX and Okami.

That projects a 53.65% win for SOTN. Literally overnight, Banjo went from winning with 56% to losing with 46%

LOL Banjo

watch xenoblade take the lead again.
DKC2 has shown before to not be particularly strong, so neither is.

Even after the bleeding, xstats show them relatively equal. But I was expecting a better showing against baldurs gate. If BK keeps dropping in the day I'll be worried; right now I'm sticking with my pick. All the contest trends are in its favor against SotN.

EDIT: nvm, looks like the bleeding was worse than I thought. I have hope it will improve with day vote, though.

by this logic the match should've taken place in early 2015, now Sheik is the stupid character!
It's well regarded but this is RPGfaqs. Platformers are no match here.

even though i love banjo i really hope SOTN wins(not just for my bracket).

I wouldn't want to see OoT against Banjor Kazooie. It would be animal cruelty.
Looks like DKC2's gonna run away with this now.

GotD might say BK/C:SotN is still close, but before the contest I would have taken PW:TaT > BG2. This does not look good for BK from my perspective.

I think DKC2 can beat awakening if it wins. Awakening and xeno have similar fanbase, and I'd argue xeno beats FE. A lot of FE fans hate how awakening has the casual mode and that it has too much fan service, while I see almost no criticisms against Xenoblade

N64, relative contest newcomer. Castlevania isn't a Square game. I guess they are released in the same timeframe so that's not in Banjo's favor.

I'm not talking about time of day trends.

I dunno, Fire Emblem has the brand name and is widely regarded as one of THE BEST games on 3DS, while Xenoblade reeks as more of a niche thing.

GotD might say BK/C:SotN is still close, but before the contest I would have taken PW:TaT > BG2. This does not look good for BK from my perspective.

Would have been a huge guru upset, most people here wouldn't give BG2 a chance against most games.

Also: I didn't even know Shulk was in Smash before reading this topic.
FF9 was SFFed by FFX in the GOTD, so i take that extrapolated stat with a grain of salt.

SOTN should be the heavy favorite next round.

Baldur's Gate is fodder, but it's probably higher end fodder based on this match and the match with Skies of Arcadia.

Awakening split the previous fanbase in two but brought in new people. FE was niche as hell before Awakening.
There are more people hating on the Xeno fanbase than the actual game.

Yup, 25% against FFIX vs. 25% against LoZ:TP

They think its overzealous. It's not widespread hate but I've seen it on different boards.

Really? Awakening tripled/doubled most FE game sales worldwide, I'd assume US was part of that.

nearly doubled sales in Japan from FE7 (FE3 is still king there however), presumably exploded in Europe and elsewhere

however in the US FE7 sold 393k, so Awakening, while setting a new series record, wasn't quite the same revival/explosion
I go to the first page and there is a guy questioning Phoenix Wright losing.

I'm like, seriously? Don't people get the concept of popularity?

Every day there is a thread that basically boils down to "Indie Quest: Niche Edition is losing to Mainstream Nintendo Game™? The contest has lost all its credibility".

It's hilarious.
