LusterSoldier 11/27/18 8:54:09 AM #66:	tennisboy213 posted... The match is half over by time, but around 2/3 over by votes. Also it looks like we're around 2,000 votes short of where we should be (based on the last matches that started on a Monday). We're on track for less than 27000 votes. This could be avoided if this match is still close later on and rallies kick in for either character. The lowest vote totals of the contest with a 7:00 PM EST starting time was the Red/Alucard match which finished at 28236 votes. At 8:00 AM, that match had 19782 votes. In today's matches, we have 18636 and 18640 votes at the same point in time. So we're already around 1200 votes behind Red/Alucard. This puts us on a pace for less than 27000 votes. There are two factors affecting our poor vote totals - Link/Ganondorf is an SFF match, which generally suffer from reduced vote totals. Then you throw in the fact that the casuals were surprised by the return of the contest after the 6 day break. The fact that we're on track for less than 27000 votes is pretty bad given that this is a weekday match. At least Red/Alucard had the excuse of being on a Saturday. Based on research I did, Saturdays have the lowest average vote totals out of all the days of the week. Monday-Thursday has the highest average vote totals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ \| ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! <cite>LusterSoldier posted [p:913116167] in Contest St...

I've read on Nintendo history a few times and it's always about how they made an epic effort to sell the NES in USA. Europe is never mentioned. All Nintendo consoles did shit in Europe until the Wii came out. N64 sold like 5 million. GameCube sold around 4 million. SNES, N64 and Gamecube were all culturally relevant here. The SNES was definitely second place - the most fondly remembered games of the era from people I speak to are Sonic and Streets of Rage, with the odd person here or there having played Super Mario World. I'm sure that Mario characters do just fine in Europe so I don't accept that categorically Nintendo was weak here pre-Wii. But I do know the idea of Mega Man, Crono, Samus et al being as strong as Sonic the Hedgehog has always seemed insane to me! I said the consoles. They were for the hardcore. Mega drive was more popular than SNES. Im not talking about the hardcore gfaqs community. That has always been made up of people form North America anyway. I live in Uk. Back in high school probably 1 in 10 people who gamed had an n64. The rest had a ps1. GameCube was worse. Even the friggin Xbox sold more. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif <cite>Yuri_LowelI posted [p:913118484] in Contest St...
