Well, I was definitely wrong about Twilight Princess. Pre-Contest, I thought Zelda would be a little more unstoppable. With the Tumblr spillover, I really thought it would influence the match more. Granted, it looks like Undertale's influx of votes slowed waaayyyy down over the last two hours of the match, so there may not have been nearly as much spillover as I thought there would be.

If Undertale would have stormed back at the end, I wonder if there would have been a stronger Tumblr influence at the beginning of this match - like Skyrim vs. Phoenix Wright.

Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness.
Also - the U.S. keeps dropping closer to favoring Skyrim. Metroid is now down to 51.27% in the U.S. If it keeps moving in this direction, Skyrim should hold on to it's comeback.

Very likely this is going all the way to (near) the end.

Spillover appears to be in the 5-6k vote range (definitely enough to affect things); my guess is that Tumblr's split just wasn't much off 50/50.

TP getting 44% on Mario must be the Zelda>Mario Hierarchy. No way does it get that much on SM64 indirectly.

Which is good and how it should be. Prime didn't have a chance pre contest so i'm proud of it's efforts.

This is what the contest is about. Matches like this and ME2/Starcraft. Too bad battles like RBY vs Mario 3 or RBY vs Chrono are not going to happen.

One thing I never would have imagined was the bottom half of the bracket having more interesting matches than the top half. Since pre contest it was basically what % OoT would steamroll games by and the #2 game contest was taking place in the epic top half.

At least we can look forward to the RE4/SMRPG/MGS3/ME2/MGS1 Rumble in the last 2 divisions.
I don't think this ends particularly close. There's always a fight near a lead change, but Skyrim should break out of that soon enough. This probably finishes around 52/48.

Wish that was exciting because those games were doing super well rather than because they all look terrible!

thats irrelvant, none of those games are elite but it's still a contest at the end of the day and its good to see some close matches.

ME2 / MGS3 is going to be epic.
Yeah the matches will be good, but it makes me sad that MGS has fallen as a series here

I haven't posted on Board 8 in a hot minute but so far this contest has had some entertaining moments, especially this current MP/Skyrim matchup. Someone needs to make fanart of Samus Aran fighting Dovahkin.

It's interesting to see Skyrim winning despite losing in US, Canada and 5/7 of the major European countries. You can argue that the UK is the biggest reason it's doing so well.

It's 3:30pm here and I haven't slept in a day. Hopefully I don't wake up with Metroid back in the lead.

I hate to admit it but I was totally wrong about Skyrim
I thought it's strength was overrated just because of how strong it was in the year it was released and it wouldn't hold it's strength this contest
When it put such a terrible performance against Ace Attorney I was sure that I was right in thinking that
But now going toe-to-toe with Metroid Prime? pretty damn impressive

I guess it was a weird combination of Tumblr spillover and Ace attorney being underestimated or something ?
I still have a hard time imagining Ace Attorney being stronger than last time.

PW isn't some Fodder tier game. Not if you understand anything about Gamefaqs coupled with low votals.
so whos the consensus favorite at this point? it doesn't seem like either game really wants to win this

On the contrary. Metroid is trying its best to keep Skyrim from getting an insurmountable lead.

As for the favorite... f***ed if I know. Any trends happening are wonky at best.

Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses
Isn't skyrim being rallied? The same thing happened with Starcraft. IT had a much stronger rally and when that died off ME2 just stomped. This is much MUCH closer.

I'd say Metroid has it.
