Yeah talking vote totals.

Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest
"F*** Draven." -SBAllen
Yesterday's chart:

Time | SSBM | Undertale | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 52.35% | 47.65% | 1576 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 46.47% | 53.53% | 17928 | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 49.77% | 50.23% | 38372 | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 50.41% | 49.59% | 13649 | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 49.03% | 50.97% | 57156 | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 47.86% | 52.14% | 42123 | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 50.17% | 49.83% | 6931 | (22:00-24:00)

Melee actually won the SNV by 32 votes, so it wasn't an exact tie there, sadly.

I think we'll have difficulties surpassing even RBY vs UT votals. Surprise me, OOT!


I'm quite confident this match will surpass Pokemon/Undertale in vote totals. Plus, we should most likely have a site banner for this match.

How likely is DKC2 > I dunno, Starcraft?


OoT would have to hit 67.08%, so not too likely.


Well, I suppose every bit of percentage SMRPG bleeds, DKC2 rises in return, so at least it's a win for me no matter what happens.

I'm probably underrating it, but nevertheless I'm certain it won't reach Melee/Undertale numbers.
What does Mario Maker vs. say, 999 look like right now?

I think you messed up your trend chart there. We did not get over 10000 votes in the SNV. At the start of the SNV, we had 169228 votes and the match ended with 176159 votes. That amounts to 6931 votes during the SNV.

Oh, you're right. I grabbed the wrong update for the end of the ASV for some reason. I'll fix it.

We just finished the Power Hour by breaking 13000 votes. I have no idea where this match ends up for the final vote totals, but it seems pretty clear that we getting far more spillover than any previous matches that happen after Undertale. We should get 70000 votes at the very minimum.

Mass Effect 3 ending up as the second strongest game in the xstats would probably be the funniest result of all time.

Oh right, sorry about that. Let's see...

If OoT = Undertale, Mario Maker would beat 999 with 60.71%

FF9 and KH will be above it soon too

I love how the bottom is pretty much untainted and we can do all kinds of fun things with the numbers, and then the top is just totally bonkers

I think Majora/MGS3 from GotD projected a 64-65% win for OoT, and that seems pretty likely at this point.

That's assuming there's no SFF here or SFF in OoT/LTTP, of course. MGS3 seemed a bit stronger this year, BioShock fluke aside.
---
http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif
I think it's fairly obvious both matches had SFF, but it's not like we got to see OoT against much of note that wasn't Nintendo before the finals. In that way it feels very much like Link from 2010, minus the Cloud match at the end.

Yellow site banner for tomorrow's match would mean all bets are off. GameFAQs at double normal strength would be equivalent to a mid-level Melee rally all by itself. Whether OoT gets vots from the other areas of the Internet, that remains to be seen.

plot twist: Pokemon/Mario/Melee fans unite behind Link to get revenge on Undertale :D a.k.a the only way OoT can likely win tomorrow
---
Every day the rest of your life is changed forever.
Mario RPG is about 2-3% lower than I'd like the stats to say but nothing excessive. it's just a nice reminder of how weak div 7/8 is.

Leon what does Suikoden 2 get on Mass Effect 2

Not too surprised that SMRPG is dropping hard. It's excelled up until now by only facing non-Nintendo and non-Square games, and now Link is hear to ready the SFF hammer.

Mario RPG is dropping because it's one of the strongest board vote games in the contest and Ocarina's become FF7. not SFF per se, just trends.
---
xyzzy
I mean, it could end up below FF9 by the end. As much as I love FF9 it wouldn't win that match.
---
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Undertale's gamefaqs base strength has seemed very static regardless of its opponent. I don't think OoT would start off tripling Undertale even if the rallies held off long enough for us to get a read.

Oops I said that wrong
I meant it was getting roughly the same fraction of the votes at the start of each round (besides the last one where the rally was ready right out of the gate)

whoa, 3% for Mario RPG? that's practically on Undertale's level. I wonder if outsiders are just ;'why the hell is mario rpg beating everything?!?!?'
---

Yeah, that's why I said I wouldn't be surprised if SMRPG had some sort of bandwagon going on here. It definitely got a big rush out of the gate from the early voters.

how about Bioshock vs. Mario Galaxy

So, how is game #128 looking anyway? We know TWD is last place on the top side, but what on this side of the bracket is likely to rank lower than it?

Also, the board is also wondering why Mario RPG is beating everything.

Nothing seems to confuse people more than Mario RPG being a strong game.

well, Walking Dead gets the benefit of a double rally screwing it over. that game definitely isn't #128.

It will be absolutely hilarious if he logs in tomorrow morning, sees blatant cheating, and reverses yesterday's results.

Or if he confirms Melee stuffed more. Either way works.

The battle is basically between Walking Dead and Hearthstone at this point.

Ocarina of Time would have to get 52.24% on Undertale for it to be anything other than Hearthstone.

So yeah, it's gonna be Hearthstone.

So I wake up and see Melee made no attempt whatsoever to come back. Anticlimactic finish to an otherwise good match.

Meanwhile, SMRPG failing to do much damage to OoT... predictable finals coming up.

I think it'll work in some situations.

Resident Evil 4 looked to be pretty close to the same strength based on the Paper Mario match, so I might use it to make lower half adjustments.

My initial thought for adjusting the mess that will be the upper half was to set OoT and CT very close to each other, put Melee at 40% and FFVII at 45% on CT. Those will be ballpark estimations, of course, but they're probably not too far off.

Trying to adjust everything Undertale touched on the way here is going to be the tricky part.

There were people on both sides talking about voting on multiple devices and stuff (not sure if Gamefaqs automatically detects stuff like that). My prediction is that if he even addresses it he says there was minor stuffing on both sides but that it didn't overcome the 4000 vote gap.
