A big round of applause for Angie, Menji, Spike, (and me!), our tireless workers who entered 90% of the brackets this season. (And a golf clap for Wigs, fett, and ngirl, who didn't complete the pages they were assigned but did enter SOME brackets.) All in all we gathered an astounding 250+ entrants for this season- easily a new Guru record!

As for the features on the site, you're probably used to most of them by now, but here's a brief overview in case you want to refresh.

* click any user's name anywhere on the site to see their full bracket

* you can re-sort the main page by score (default), TB, risks, their pick in the current match, Dead/Alive status, or even alphabetically by username- just click the headers

* currently "Today's Pick" is pointing to Match 12, Okami vs NMH. if you'd rather see everyone's pick for the next match, change the dropdown to "13" and hit the button- now you see all the picks for ToS vs RE5!

* any pick anywhere on the site that goes against the Guru Cookie is rewarded with red text

* speaking of which, the Guru Cookie is a bracket that makes the most "popular" choice for every matchup, based on all 250+ brackets. it's listed in the rankings as though it's an actual person, but that's just for fun (it doesn't actually cost you a position on the ranks if you're currently behind it)

But surely the most popular feature of all are those Guru Stats! You can check them at any time by clicking "Matchup Stats" on top, which takes you to

http://thengamer.com/guru/stats.php

Here we have the listing of every match along with how many brackets picked each possible winner.

* the handy color coded text on the left of this page reminds you whether that poll will be a Day Match, Night Match, or 24 hour poll

* click the "Who Picked Whom" button to see the complete listing of what users selected each winner in their brackets

* you can also get to this Who Picked Whom listing by clicking the "+" next to any matchup on a user's bracket page
---

Now it's time for everyone in the competition to complete the following VERY IMPORTANT 3 step process.

1. Click your name on the site. Is the bracket we have listed for you there 100% correct? If not, post back here with the changes you need to have made with a screenshot of your bracket.

2. Tag this topic! Angie, fett, LtK and myself will be keeping you updated on results, Guru stats for upcoming matchups, and Eliminations all season long!

3. Post the link to your bracket in your sig, so everyone can see what a genius you are as you roll to this season's Guru Championship! Just take the URL from when you click your name on the home page- it's not going to change. For instance if you were yoblazer you'd link to http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=9

Here's to an exciting second half of the season!

Nooooo, my great streak has come to an end! Spent the last two weeks at #2 in the Guru and peaked at #26 on the site, but here's where my Sunshine pick dooms me. (Worse is I was the only one in the top 14 to take it!) Here's the full breakdown for today:

Super Mario Sunshine - 107 (41.96%)
Halo 1 - 107 (41.96%)
Halo 3 - 36 (14.12%)
Ninja Gaiden - 5 (1.96%)

The Sunshine pick is officially listed as the "cookie choice" for the match, though as you see it could have gone either way.

From yesterday, props to the...

Uncharted 2 - 179 (70.20%)
Sonic Adventure 2 - 44 (17.25%)
Street Fighter IV - 29 (11.37%)
Legend of Dragoon - 3 (1.18%)

29 people who ALMOST looked like geniuses by predicting what would have been a crazy run for Street Fighter!

Nothing too exciting for the next couple of days here... biggest disagreement is only 69% backing Okami against MM9.

Hey I discovered some errors in my bracket:

I had Civilization IV not Persona 3.

I also think something might wrong with how my bracket is being scored. Gamefaqs has my bracket at 57 as of Halo over Halo 3. But Guru says 60. Now I found that one error in Civ IV instead of Persona, but that still leaves 2 mystery points. I checked my bracket like three times, and the CIV IV one is the only error I could find.

Advokaiser, therobbieg, Turnsniper and GrapefruitKing are the closest bracket to yours. Your MM pick in round 4 is unique among these. I'd estimate that the round 3 matches in the Northwest Division are when 3 of these brackets will start to be eliminated.

I think my bracket glitched at some point or other on the site, not that it would make that much a difference. I'll be dead soon enough. But still >.> I don't recall a time I took GTA3>HL2...let alone GTA3>GoW. Especially given I have Half-Life 2 beating God of War. It could of just been a brief lapse in insanity, but I don't think I made any pick that particularly stupid.

...Aside from Ninja Gaiden, but I came to accept that stupidity Day One. Again, I don't think it will make or break my bracket sucking, but still.

a bit surprised i'm not up for elimination here. do i actually have any reasonable chance at winning if KH2 doesn't beat TP? like are MP > GoW, G/S/C > MGS3, and SSBM > FFX enough (getting the winner and loser right, obviously)? or is my can't-be-eliminated-this-match status based on a technicality, like if SMG beats TP and KH/KH2?

Was fairly sure that Cokes had enough later round differences to me to stay in this. I'm not meant to eliminate people - don't think I have ever done it yet. Think I've only ever been able to possibly eliminate somebody once as well (that match didn't work out and I got eliminated in the next one from memory).

I did some calculations and concluded the guy most likely to knock me out is FFDragon.

Basically, max scores :

EvilNcr - 383
FFDragon - 369
meche - 360
Menji - 360

I checked a few scenarios. Most likely one is that I'm out on Twilight Princess > Super Mario Galaxy. Other likely one is Half-Life 2 > God of War. My best case scenario is being dropped on FFXII/Portal >¨Mass Effect.

But hey! I'm safe for Round 2 at least!

Due to SubDeity's point change, abdou aka darkfir comes back from the dead. Hopefully the two older eliminations by SubDeity aren't altered. Now I remember why I would save them in previous years.

Assuming FFIX and RE4 wins, here's the next match:

The following will be eliminated with a Dead Rising win:

abdou aka darkfir (SubDeity)
HaRRicH (SubDeity)
WarThaNemesis (Metal Goomba/BakusaiTenketsu)
Albion (SubDeity/IloveYoda)
JONALEON (Sephirot)

Due to SubDeity's point change, abdou aka darkfir comes back from the dead.
The following will be eliminated with a Dead Rising win:

abdou aka darkfir (SubDeity).


I kinda want Dead Rising to win because this would be funny, even though I have P4 in my bracket.

For some reason, several of your picks are different from what I had copied down. Don't know if that was a copying error on my part, or if you got it changed at some point. Either way, it's been corrected and you're still alive.

Another bracket I missed getting eliminated, probably on the Dead Rising match:

machinegungeek (IngmarBirdman)

The following will be eliminated with a Portal win:

TheKoolAidShoto (IloveYoda)
Articuno (abdou aka darkfir, SubDeity)
cteswhatever (TheOlympicHero)
ImNotPonyta (bospsychopaat)
Sephirot (FPCE)
JONALEON (FPCE)
Finalxflash (dexter)
Sugand (dexter)
RPGLord (special sauce)
Kamek (ToadYoshi)
SonicRaptor (Kotetsu)
Yesmar (Chaotic Mind)
Leonhart (Eeeevil Overlord)
paratroopa (alblito)
firefdr (numbers)

Not gonna bother looking for the FFXII eliminations, since this one is over already.

And the next match:

The following will be eliminated with a Mass Effect win:

Agent M (Luster Soldier)

The following will be eliminated with a Skies of Arcadia win:

Cecil (Durandi)
The EvilNcr (FFDragon)

you're only a point behind gitanil, and that would only put you 3 behind. KH2 is worth 4, so the outcome in PM vs WoW is irrelevant to you - one of you will eliminate the other on the KH/KH2 match.

Damn, I wanted to eliminate neon and Tom! Oh well, I'll just have to settle for Chichiri. Then there's Majin Lou....looks like who eliminates him will be based on Uncharted 2 vs Halo. If Halo wins and the other matches go as assumed, Chichiri would eliminate him later, but if Uncharted 2 wins, I could eliminate the both of them at the same time! Then I would be the last one standing of that group!

At the end of the first round, I figured out that those were the only four who had the same combination of Final Four and beyond, worked out a Word document and have been following along just for my own sake. I suppose there's a slight chance of an MGS2 over MGS4 upset, in which case someone else could wipe us out, but I didn't bother to figure that far ahead.

But yeah, KH vs. KH2 is the big one, I don't know about the other guys, but me and Chichiri are going head to head in that match. We're currently tied and that's the only difference we have left! Go original Kingdom Hearts!

Unless Galaxy somehow beats Twilight Princess....

Eternal_Debate | Posted 12/2/2010 10:07:35 PM | message detail
That'd be one more elimination than me Ed.

Any chance of amending the elimination table so if you eliminate somebody who has already eliminated people, those eliminations get added to your score? Maybe make it another table actually. So say for example I eliminate somebody that has 2 eliminations already. I get the 1 elimination for eliminating somebody PLUS the two that they had (and the person I eliminated gets removed from the leaderboard completely) - a 3 for 1 deal. Be interesting to follow in a way, maybe it's just me though. Technically if you eliminate somebody, your bracket is better than all the ones they eliminated anyway.

I honestly didn't think that I would be the one doing the elimination, like if it wasn't for R/S/E, I definitely would've been out in Round 1.

But hey, it's my first time in guru, I'm surprised I even got an elimination.

Though I have this sinking feeling that I'll be out once it hits KH vs KH II.

The following will be eliminated with a Metal Gear Solid 4 win:

I'm sure there are some eliminations for a Diablo II win as well, but it's a pain, so I'll just look them up if it's reasonably close tomorrow.

Me picking SotC is actually because I misinterpreted some people saying "MGS 2 doesn't stand a chance at beating MGS 4" as "MGS 2 doesn't stand a chance at getting to MGS 4. And by some people I mean the stats topic people.

On a minor note, because of this match Banjo-Tooie is as strong as the Sims.

The following will be eliminated with a Fallout 3 win:

andylt (TheOlympicHero)
greatone (Camden)
stripey (Ngamer)
Haguile (tranny)
Biolizard (hockeydude)

There are probably some eliminations for a Batman win, but I'll only bother to check those if it's close.

I get the feeling I drop another match this afternoon, like the majority of people. Halo will probably win, although I thought at the time both games were a risky pick - can't rely on either of them in these contests. Least I dont have SMS I guess.

So far every match I have got wrong, I had that game losing in the next round. Saved me a lot of points so far. Probably the big difference to my brackets from past years.

Yeah. I haven't had a single match that's cost me multiple rounds yet. But now the matches are worth more than ever...

FFD & Me :

109 ->361
95->375

So basically, I'm only out once FFD gets 2 matches on me that I incorrectly predicted or he gets a 2 matches I already lost + one I get wrong.

So... U2>Halo, H2>GoW & TP-Galaxy.
Or if Halo 1 wins, I last until Portal>Mass Effect.

Too bad I'm not surviving Round 3 unless Mass Effect/Galaxy cause a major upset.

I have to be perfect from here on out I think.

Next match, I eliminate Metal Goomba if Halo 1 wins, and he eliminates me if it loses. If it does win, I still need to run more or less perfect going forward.

Thanks for that Oxbridge.

I think I'll likely be up for elimination in the KH1/KH2 match and it's pretty certain I don't last out the round unless Galaxy pulls off a colossal upset. Either gonna be 4 or 8 points down on icon by the KH match with only 8 to gain including that match. If that somehow goes my way then it's Portal/ME. And if a miracle occurs then it's TP in round 4. Pretty much ****ed whatever happens!

Put it this way, I'd change all 3 of my picks to Icon's picks (TP, KH1, Portal) without a second thought if I was redoing my bracket and have done in the Oracle. That's how little faith I have in my bracket!

I think my bracket is so unique that I haven't been anywhere close to elimination yet or been close to eliminating anyone else either.

It'll probably come down to MM vs G/S/C and Brawl vs Melee. Hopefully I can crack the top 10 before I'm eliminated at least.

If it was MW2 vs. Halo then... probably, but I'm going with Halo here with 1500 at risk battle points and a chance to get a good Oracle result. If not, yay I eliminated someone! (sorry arkenaga =/ )

You've got GSC going far and your score isn't that bad. KH vs KH2 is the only remaining difference between your bracket and mine. We will have the exact same score going into the match (unless U2 wins somehow, but I think I have a better tiebreaker anyways). If KH2 wins, I'll eliminate you. If KH wins, you eliminate me.

It's possible for someone who is alive to be unable to score more points than someone who is dead, and thus become eliminated - but the credit would go to someone who is still alive for eliminating them.

Assuming both Smash games win:

The following will be eliminated with a Twilight Princess win:

SpikeDragon (TheOlympicHero)
Reggie, the Funny Joke (Silverflash)
Majin Lou (ChichiriMuyo)
arkenaga (Advokaiser)
Estheim (blazingphoenix)
ffmasterjose (Quasar)
Hannyabal (gob)
The EvilNcr (FFDragon)

The following will be eliminated with a Super Mario Galaxy win:

Denzokuken (captaincanadian)
Pram the Oracle (fett)
Ed Bellis (TVontheRadio)
Ry Senkari (ZensGirlfriend)

I think that's all. Gets a little hard comparing things like TP/SMG overall winner brackets against everything else. :P

wtf how am I in 23rd?

The sad part is that I had MW2 going far because it was supposed to be my wild card because I thought my score would be so bad. Had I used logic...I'd be in the very upper echelon (plus a couple of obvious picks that I neglected to do because I didn't think I would still have a shot at this point).

Ugh.

I'm surprised that I'm not eliminated yet

Well, good game FFD.

The next huge elimination lists are KH/KH2 & MM/GSC.

Kingdom Hearts - 129 (50.59%)
Kingdom Hearts II - 105 (41.18%)
CoD: Modern Warfare 2 - 13 (5.10%)
BioShock - 8 (3.14%)

Pokemon G/S/C - 178 (69.80%)
Majoras Mask - 76 (29.80%)
Mario Kart Wii - 1 (0.39%)

There will several too for Portal/Mass Effect since Portal has 56% of the brackets and the rest FFXII/Mass Effect/Crisis Core.
But I'm guessing most of those are already eliminated. (like me)

There's at least 2 that had it to win the contest... I'm just barely outside the top 50 myself, which would be nice to see me crack it as well.

I'm more concerned about the Portal/MassEffect matchup. I really need ME to win that as I have neither actually winning it >_>. If Portal wins, I am out for sure.

Meh, looks like I'm dead either way. I need KH (vs KH2), KOTOR (vs FF9) and MGS4 (vs MGS3) to go my way to beat Blairville, but it doesn't matter anyway because Half-Life 2 isn't winning the contest. (yeah sorry blairville, I've defected to the dark side after that embarrassing performance vs GTA3. HL2'd have to be extremely lucky (with a lot of rallying) to take down MP, let alone FO3. and even then there's only an extremely low chance that Valve will rally for it in the semi especially since I'm sure they'll be busy with their Christmas specials and whatnot over at Steam. and face it, HL2 isn't beating the Smash game without Valve-sanctioned rally)

Hooray for hope! I'm not completely expecting a HL2 victory, but I think at this point it's the favorite.

Than again, I just checked the Odds to Win topic, and it gave MP a 54% chance to win! So we'll see. Then whoever wins that has to beat Fallout 3. I'm also concerned about my MGS4 in the Final Four, I wish I would've stuck with my gut there and went LoZ, though there's about a 50/50 chance I would've picked the wrong LoZ anyway. Or GSC will just win, but I doubt it.

Oh man, what are the eliminations gonna look like on GSC vs. MM.......

Anyway, there's still a possible chance for me. I'd have to get through some uncomfortable matches, but it's not completely out of the question. Of course, Melee vs. Brawl can just shut me up entirely next round.

I've honestly been one of the quietest people as far as eliminations go. I haven't eliminated anyone, nor have I ever been up for elimination. Every time I get a match wrong, I get another one right later on to make up for it (WoW wrong, SotC right. UC2 wrong, KHII right). Not only that, but a lot of the big future matches are still up in the air, yet I still don't have a pick that I'm expecting to bite me in the ass.

So SBAllen, really wasn't kidding when he said that he didn't have Brawl vs Melee in the division finals, despite that he set up the bracket like that intentionally.

Aww yeah, #3 on the Guru! I probably won't be up for elimination until MM vs G/S/C, but that probably applies to almost everyone that's still alive.

That will be down to 135 if FF9 can hold off KotOR the rest of the day.

Well I haven't really been paying too much attention to this, but I decided to check and see if there are any differences between the my guru bracket and my real bracket, and I found two mistakes.

I got Megaman 9 wrong instead of Okami, and Modern Warfare 2 wrong instead of Kingdom Hearts. Both in Round 2.

Both of these mistakes ended up giving me a higher score instead of a lower one, so I guess the only difference is that I was supposed to have been eliminated earlier
