lol copy paste

Good news, everyone! The Guru site for the '10 season is now up and running!

http://thengamer.com/guru/

First off, a big round of applause for fett, jose, and Spike, our three tireless workers who entered an astounding 220+ brackets for this season- easily a new Guru record!

As for the features on the site, you should be used to most of them by now if you participated in the Guru last season. There have been a few tweaks however- one is that due to popular demand I've decided to list the "Guru Cookie" on the rankings this season. (The Cookie is the most "cookie cutter" bracket possible, aka it always selects our most popular choice for each match.) HOWEVER, the Cookie will not cost anyone a ranking position; for instance it's tied for first right now, but listed in "0th" place so that Leon gets to keep the #1 next to his name.

Some returning features:

* click any user's name anywhere on the site to see their 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 5, Luigi vs Meta Knight. if you'd rather see everyone's pick for the next match, change the dropdown to "6" and hit the button- now you see all the picks for Shadow vs Ammy!

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


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.

NEW FEATURE! Handy color coded text on the left to remind you whether that poll will be a Day Match, Night Match, or 24 hour poll.

OLD FEATURE! Click the "Who Picked Whom" button to see the complete listing of what users selected each winner in their brackets.

So be sure to tag this topic and follow along with our daily updates on the Leaderboard, the Upset Watch, and (coming soon) Eliminations!

Also, don't forget to click your own name on the front page to confirm that your bracket is 100% accurate.


Happy Guruing!

No takers? What a shame!

In any case I've got the page updated with all the latest. Looks like we're down to only 57% of brackets still breathing.

Also if anyone want to look up past info, here's the archived copies of the last two topics:

Awww man, I liked it when my zombie bracket was all by itself there for the longest time. Also with the massive amount of ToadYoshi slaying, it reminds me I was the first bracket he took out by himself :(.
---
Bah... forget it, i'm not creative enough to think of a clever sig, I'll just right this.

we'll see when the time comes.

Nay, I believe he just yelled at me for not having them up.

From: GaryOak151 | #009
how am i not eliminated yet

You're pretty close:

78 warning_Crazy
(2Phoenix)/!2Yoshi!/(2Soap)
(3Chief)/3Bowser/!3Charizard!
4Kirby/4Bowser

91 RPGuy
(2Phoenix)/2Ryu/2BigDaddy
3Ganon/3Bowser/3Ryu/3Auron
4Kirby/4Bowser

Can pick up 20 points total there, and you're down 13. So you can't miss much.

And ToadYoshi is in big danger to TRE now, since you're all so curious:

90 ToadYoshi
2BigDaddy

90 Team Rocket Elite
!3Charizard!

Just needs Charizard to win again.

Whoops, looks like I missed killing you and Chic for that day. Okay, taken care of. That takes us below 56%!

Now, as for the x-stats volunteer position...

You're in a large group of 7 Bowser and Snake upset brackets that have 79-81 points.

Not really. The closest Bowser bracket with Charizard winning next round is 5 points behind you.

Oddly enough Ringworm could almost knock Yonex out with an Ezio win, despite being in like 9th to last place.

Wow, I never thought that I might be the one to do him in. I guess I still need to live until Charizard wins to get the kill, though.

You're not a good person. You know that, right?

So what match will eliminate me, anyway? Charizard winning his division? Missingno upsetting Sephiroth? Big Daddy losing to Ness?

Although I'm guessing Dante holding serve against Ryu would nuke me, along with about 20 other people.

The body count for Ryu/Dante is going to be enormous, no matter who wins.

Are there eliminations for Riku/Falcon? I can't imagine too many people took the upset here...
---
No match for KrahenProphet's extreme Guru skills.

Yep, I'll be eliminated with either Big Dadd's loss to Ness or Zard's win against block.

Can't complain though.

Yeah. Dante, Ness or Charizard would all knock you out. Missingno likely won't make a difference for anyone until it gets to Snake.

KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest.

Fun fact: 95% of the top 20 gurus and 50% of the bottom 20 gurus took Riku > Falcon. How's that for a split?
---
Makes me feel a little more secure.

Top two Gurus have Ryu>Dante and at least 50% of those top two have been listening to Ryu's SNES theme on a daily basis to get amped for the match.

Which Charizard win knocks me out? I can't get points for L-Block/Zard no matter what, so would Sora have to not win his division?

You're not a good person. You know that, right?

Ulti, right now we're tied until the end of the contest, so I checked and Wigs knocks us both out with Charizard's win next round. TRE knocks us out earlier if Ryu or Big Daddy lose.
