Ramirez never had a lead (unless the first one or two guys voted for him). Unified Board 8 effort = PHAILURE.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Wily had bracket support... scary...

Well, I was the 3rd vote for Ramirez, so...doubtful he ever had the lead.

Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

obviously without a picture, voters are voting solely on who has the cooler name which is why ramirez is putting up such strong numbers......yeah....

actually i never expected this one to be the huge blowout everyone thought it would be. if sephy hits 80% i'll be a little surprised.

The perfects did a bit better than average. The 0s were at average. Everybody should do well for the next match for obvious reasons.

Only four people fell off the Top 50 today. Duecenage, NnySkrying, Resurgence and rahum. 92% success is pretty good. I expect a 100% tommorow but there are still a few favorites brackets on the Top 50.

You could view that as Wily only having 71% of brackets behind him, as a 2 seed, against the absolute joke that is Ultros.

Round two will be pretty damned interesting, if I do say so myself. Wily and Ocelot look about as even as you can get entering a match.

Absolute joke that Ultros is, he's still Final Fantasy. That gets the attention of the casuals.

You could, if you were desperate for something to give you a boost of confidence about picking Ocelot.

maybe i should delete that post before i look like a retard. but seriously i would've thought that anti-votes and popularity of both ramirez and skies of arcadia would at least keep this under 80-20...

Spring2K5: 4/4 Next Pick: Sephiroth

I aimed that at Ulti, not Leonhart; for as close as us "experts" predicted it to be, I don't blame people to go for Ultros too much. To me, it's obvious Wily was gonna win, but to many others I could see it being close, and FF3/6 > Mega Man games here.

Anti-votes don't matter past the board vote (a.k.a. the first 5 minutes), which is why Sephiroth's quickly climbing in percentage.

Come on, at least Vyse kept Cloud under 80% until daylight hours. This is just going to get uglier for Ramirez when the sun comes up.

I stand corrected. The first vote was cast for Ramirez, so at one time, he was beating Sephiroth with 100%.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

What I meant is that ~65% of people picked Ocelot to take down a very well-known, mainstream villain. Only 71% of people picked Wily to take down a joke, and Ocelot's poll got more total votes.

Wily got 4000 more votes against Ultros than Ocelot received against a far more popular in Nemesis. Only 2000 people need to change their minds for Ocelot to pull that gap even, and I would imagine that the people who voted Nemesis in the first round are far more apt to turn around and vote for Ocelot come the second round than they would Wily.

Eh, it's anyone's match at this point. Now excuse me while I watch Ramirez get her face beaten in.

And yes, I'm aware Ramirez is male. He sure as hell doesn't look like one, though.

The same joke that you expected Wily to barely beat and the same joke that comes from Final Fantasy.

And yes, I'm aware Ramirez is male. He sure as hell doesn't look like one, though.

Wait, wait, and Sephiroth does? Haha! Please. Ramirez is more masculine than Sephiroth, but then again, Ramirez kills Sephiroth in every category imaginable. Things happen like that when a character sucks as much as Sephiroth.

That's because the voters are currently having a case of stupidity. It happens everytime they vote for Sephiroth over someone.

You know what would have been a great match? Ultros in Laharl's place last year, taking on Vyse.

Dalton >>>> Sephiroth

Pretty obvious, really. Then again, you can substitute anyone in for Ultros and Dalton and the statement would be correct.
