I am more surprised that 00 is keeping it this close with being this disadvantaged with it's match pic, in a fair representation it is the stronger year by the looks of it, whether it can still win with such a disadvantage is another question, looks to be a good and conversational match

Because of the LAW.

I didn't say I thought 2000 would crush this, I just didn't think the match would ever really be in question. You can have a fairly close match without having much doubt in the eventual winner!

What law? Mario 64 would crush majora in a 1v1.

Pokemon gold /silver is in the same year so this performance is a bit pathetic from 2000. 96 was a pretty garbage year tbh bat mario 64.

can't even crush it with OoT in the poll

Also kind of doubt a game that puts up 47-48% on LttP 1v1 gets crushed by much of anything short of OoT tbqh!

Probably rooting for 96 here
Such a lust for revenge
I was really hoping that 2000 would have built up at least a little bit of a lead by now, but the East Coast should be waking up soon which'll probably put a nail in 2000's coffin.

With this being a weekend match, the morning vote starts a little bit later than usual compared to a weekday match. I'm not expecting the morning vote until about 7:30 AM EST.

Based on current Geolocation results, it looks bad for 2000 since 1996 has about 52% in the US. 2000 would expect to get buried when the morning vote kicks in, unless of course the US morning vote starts trending towards 2000 instead.

I think SM64 would beat MM in a 1v1 now. MM's strength now compared to 2009 is crazy. But judging from todays poll SM64 would comfortably handle .

Also OoT being in any poll distorts everything tbh. It's an absolute Monster of a game that just saps the crap out of everything Nintendo. It's got to a point where non Nintendo games of mediocre stature are going to do a higher % on OoT than strong tier Nintendo games.

oh man

I have no idea what to expect from trends. SMRPG is an early monster, FF9 and RE are night beasts and Mario/Zelda are day vote gods.

The 6:00 update on the updater is a fake update. The real update is actually the 6:01 update, so that would be an 8 vote gain.

Wait, I thought the real updates were those in xx:00 and xx:05 . How do you identify real updates then ?

Generally, you can tell the fake updates apart by looking at their total votes compared to the previous update. The 5:55 update had 4906 votes, while the 6:00 update had 4915 votes. There's no way that we would only receive 9 votes over the course of a normal 5 minute update unless it was caused by GameFAQs downtime.

Btw, this is still a very unlikely possibility, but has there ever been a perfect draw at the end ?
What happens in that case, random winner ?

It feels good to have a close match for once. Really wish 2000 had gsc in the match pic though. I hate how Allen snubbed it along with KHII for 06

I think we should do away with tthese pictures and just have a list of games in writing.

Top 10 games for each year listed vertically vs the other.
That way it will be a fair fight. Boring yes but that should have been done for the First round. After that you can start doing pictures

I also think Box arts for games should be put in as well

Have 4 box arts for each year. pick the strongest ones for each year.
RIPJimmy 5/13/2017 4:49:35 AM#446
Yea I like that idea

Also 2000 just negated those past few 96 updates
Rest in Peace, foREVer.

For those leaderboard watching, I've got 2000 winning this one.
Not_Wylvane
This is probably going to be the best round of matches in the contest to be honest. I can't see another decent match past that except the inevitable 2001 vs 1997 match.. Everything in the bottom is going to be a 98 blowout.

I want a mini Console contest.
