You're gettin' beat more frequently than a red-headed stepchild tonight, HaRRicH.
And it's official: Wesker has no chance.

Wesker will clean up with the day vote, but I doubt it'll be enough to take Kefka. Delicious.

I would expect Wesker to get the day vote, but not by much. Both these guys seem more like board favorites.
And there's still the chance Luca was very underestimated by the straight up rankings. Though, Wesker's gotta get this to the 60's at least. Otherwise it would be too much of a stretch to think Luca suffered that much SFF.
Certainly underwhelming by Wesker so far.

Yeah man, I know; even the red-headed stepchilds have been allowed to call me names.
Wesker better get his **** straight real quick though, or else he's nothing short of doomed against Kefka. I wouldn't wanna be known as the character that allowed Luca to have a chance.

BTW, the average Oracle pick for this match was around 65%.
Tomorrow the average pick is Bison with something like 56%. I expect Bison to beat expectations tomorrow.

Wesker's percentage is dropping like a rock... and the vote gap hadn't
even reached 100 yet. Premature, but this might be the first close one
of the contest.

The difference between the top performs and the midcarders continues to widen. The 0's finally get things just right and score a perfect performance. Once again nobody fell off the Top 50. Still a few favorites brackets up there though. If they got this far by picking top seeds, they won't last through the next battle.

This would be a good time to reiterate my earlier proposition that Nemesis is stronger than Wesker.
Many RE people said there was no way Nemesis>Wesker, but I think that gamed named after him factor+ugly monster factor>obscure villainness.

If you were at all on the Wesker bandwagon, take care not to break your ankles when jumping off of it.
And you're getting laughed at for the next 24 hours, regardless. HARD.

I think Wesker suffers from Ocelot syndrome, where devout fans may
think he is the main villain through out the series, but everyone else
just thinks of Nemesis.
Of course, I don't know what I am talking about, as I thought the creature from RE1 was the same thing as Nemesis.
Uh... yeah...

I've never played the games, but there may very well be nothing unusual about this belief.
In any case, Nemesis probably represents other RE boss monsters on some level.

I'm driving back to Miami on Friday, so I'll be there for the
Diablo/Ridley match. I'm not worried about Bison/Albedo. Question
though. I've been at my apartment all year, and I registered my prize
through my apartment. If I log on at my parent's house in Miami, where
my little brother has an active bracket, would that disqualify me for
prizes??

Question sparked by Leonhart in another topic: stronger in a contest setting... Luca Blight or Viktor/Flik?

If both you and your brother have a "for prizes" bracket, you could get
disqualified if you both login from the same computer. It would depend
on how closely CJayC examines your login patterns.

Assuming Wesker increases his lead throughout the day, this isn't bad
at all. I am assuming Luca > Mithos by quite a bit. But man, Wesker
let me down a lot tonight, I thought he'd be close to Jill.

Well, Viktor and Flik play the largest roles in Suikoden I and Suikoden
II from a 'hero' standpoint. I would think the sheer fact that they
play integral roles in both games would make them more recognizable
than Luca Blight, just that Luca gets nominations from the site for
being the total badass that he is.

Damn, that sucks. I'm sure there has to be an exception. My bracket is
registered for my apartment. I doubt that it would count if two
brackets are registered at different addresses. I mean, now that I
think about it, it wouldn't make any sense for me to be disqualified.
What about those that log in to public computers? I'm sure as long as
the brackets are registered under different addresses, it's fine... I
hope....

It is very disturbing to think that one of these eight villains has to
come out of the ruin division, because while I love both Kefka and M.
Bison, in this setting, none of them deserve it. Flip Wily with Liquid,
and then Liquid with Kefka, and you get a deserving final four rep.
with Liquid, in addition to a show down with Ganondorf. You will also
get sprite Kefka vs. Bowser, which may not be a complete bashing. And
then you get to see Dr. Wily/Lavos, which before the contest, I am sure
would have been a real thought provoker.

Wesker is doing better than I expected. Then again there's no reason to

Heck Luca still has a chance for a comeback.
