WHOA! Starcraft pulling the upset!

This is bad news...
---
Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective?
Yeah I think MGS3 is screwed. Unless Bioshock is a lot stronger than I thought.

Even with all the rallying nonsense this is probably still better than the 2009 games contest.

Every now and then, but Starcraft now has its largest lead of the match in terms of votes.

I'm the perfect definition of the phrase "hard to love, but even harder to hate."
Lost in all of this is BioShock stalling MGS3 for the last 45 minutes. Not that MGS3 is in danger or anything.

BGE3: Today's Matches MGS>Borderlands 2, SotC>RDR, MGS3>BioShock, ME2>Starcarft
Points 103/120
I'd take Earthbound over RDR pretty easily, so MGS has reestablished itself as a clear favorite in this division. I'd say the winner in this division is more clear than in the last one (still think that Mario RPG/RE4 match will be tough).
---

If StarCraft beats ME2 it's probably getting out of the division. Would be especially funny considering how badly Blizzard has done this contest otherwise (Diablo II turning out to be worth 45% on Phoenix Wright, Warcraft III getting destroyed, WoW flopping, Hearthstone lol).

Then again FPSs, Bioware, and MGS have done so much better this contest right guys? Let's take a look at Bioware's track record:

-Narrow win over Mario Galaxy 2 followed by 55-45 loss to Smash 4
-54% on Xenogears, then 37% on Wind Waker
-38% on Banjo-Kazooie
-36% on Mario Galaxy
-Being Undertale's first victim
-Barely outdoing Persona 4's result on 999 against Zero Escape, then potentially choking against Starcraft.

Also...I still can't get over the incredible likelihood of StarCraft being stronger than Mario Galaxy, when many said "you don't pick a PC game against a Nintendo game on GameFAQs".

not this round, at least

this time during the next match is gonna be interesting. the time when ME2 starts getting stronger just as MGS3 can't make gains on Bioshock

Now I just want SC to win this with 100 votes somehow at the end to make it a classic Starcraft match

I don't see how that follows. MGS is surely stronger than ME2. I mean, I won't rule it out, I remember 2004 very well. But I'm not ready to call Starcraft the favourite.

Well it's a general rule, not an ironclad one! Starcraft would obviously beat Super Mario Maker.

Admittedly that was more meant for a debated match. But then again StarCraft/Mario Maker would probably have been debated pre-contest.

There are now 50% more people on the Starcraft subreddit than when the rally was strong
Is going down 4 spots really has such a big effect? or it's just the morning vote killing SC?

How many of these games have you played teeheehee

http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif
Sure but would you ever pick DKC2 over Fallout 3 in a bracket?

DKC2 might be able to break 40% though, especially considering SNES-FAQs...

...kinda funny to see MGS break 60% on Earthbound considering all we were railing on MGS for doing badly and SNES games for doing well. Thing is, Earthbound is probably still weak. 58% on Borderlands 2 is not a strong game. This also means that MGS at best barely doubles Borderlands 2. Dunno what to say really.

You guys really think Bioshock would do worse than Earthbound against Borderlands 2...maybe. Borderlands 2 > Silent Hill 2...maybe?

SOTC, MGS2, and Mario 3.

Also this was more from a perspective of perceived contest strength.
