Spring Contest 2k5 Score X Potential: 9/9 X 80/80
Next Pick: Wesker///// Next Vote: Wesker

No way. If we assume that CATS always gets in the same general range (11k in 2k2, 14k in the always impressive 2k3 and 10k in 2k4) and that votes won't drop off due to a boring match or increase to to a strong opponent Ansem is still going to come out looking like a fool. Today should prove that if nobody cares then nobody votes, and CATS will likely get his usual 10-11K (and thensome, just on principal of Ansem not being as impressive as CATS's other 3 opponents) and Ansem will get whatever remains of those who care (we'll say 52k ish, since peopel really won't care). Then Ansem will turn around and get whatever he deserves on Ganon while CATS gets a "boost" due to the general indifference of the first match making it closer than it would be if anybody cared.

During your 2k2 contest review. And I can't beleive you didn't know who he is. Sure, VF isn't the biggest series around here, but at least some of it should be obivous to you. Guess you aren't a fan of fighters.

Wesker will finish with around 1500 votes more in a 60/40 win than Nemesis did in a 55/45 loss. Pathetic.

Very much so. Sheesh...methinks they're both gonna be pretty bad in the final X-stats though.

I'm fairly certain it's site/server problems more than anything.

The poll is currently ranked 24th for least number of total votes. It has a good chance at passing 61142 to become 25th place but is very unlikely to pass 61706 to become 26th. For the first time in over 1000 days(would have been exactly 1000 if the contest started on the 1st) we'll have a new entry on the Top 25 least popular polls by vote total.

This only confirms that Wesker and Luca suck large amounts of ass in terms of contest strength.

Well, Luca DID manage over 10,000 more votes this time despite such a smaller total. That's something...I guess.

And that Nemesis is stronger then Wesker. Ocelot and he put together the third best turnout thus far.

I believe that Bison may just blow Albedo out on a level that would be surprising to many people.

Suikoden 2 sold 92,000 copies. Anyone who says that this performance by Wesker is anything but pathetic is deluding themselves.

Heh, if we start the match without a picture, that's a definite advantage for Bison.

If nothing else, while the pic is gone (assuming it doesn't show), M. Bison could be confused by some of the Japanese crowd and potentially get him more votes!

Or, ya know...maybe I just wanted to pull something out of my ass before I go hit refresh alot.

The guy with Kuja winning at #4 fell off the leaderboard.

I think it says LUCA got 55.91% against Wesker in the bracket support.

There's a flaw in the Stats. It looks as if ~45% picked Wesker.

Sad for the general populous, yes, but not for us. Imagine how many perfects are likely to drop in the next two days.

Also, Bison's out to a 70/30 start. Ouch, even at my very best estimates, I didn't think it'd be this bad.

ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO CATS

Ridley/Diablo is going to kill so many perfects it's not even funny.

Today's subliminal thought is:
Contest Stats: 10/10 Next Winner: M. Bison

I bet TRE's gonna figure out our lil' problem about whether Wesker or Luca got the bracket advantage almost any second now.

I hope this percentage of Bison's drops. If it stays in the high 60s, I'm officially worried about my Diablo > Bison pick. I'm worried enough about Diablo > Kefka as it is.

Then Ansem will turn around and get whatever he deserves on Ganon while CATS gets a "boost" due to the general indifference of the first match making it closer than it would be if anybody cared.

What...? If CATS hits his mythical "wall" of around 12K votes, he'll end up looking vastly more pathetic than he ever did, because Ansem is assuredly much weaker than anyone else he's faced.

The proportionate difference in vote totals won't make as much difference for his extrapolated ranking as the difference in strength between Ansem and stronger opponents.

That match will dispell all thoughts of this wall though. Ansem simply won't be strong enough to hold CATS to so little votes.

Except for the 0's all groups did equally poorly. Oddly enough the 2's had the highest prediction rate and a lot of those should be attempted 0's.

13 people fell off the top 50 today. Divine_Majin, Dark_Kage, DpObliVion, KingofSweden, SpikeSetsFire, hanzibar, Fetus4188, XRockX, hwat123, Solecism, Silverwarp, Venom5000 and pastaman44 did not have Wesker beating Luca. A 74% prediction percentage is still pretty good relatively speaking, it was the first seeding upset afterall.

Capcom Fighting Jam Bison eh?

Wish he photoshoped a pic from the ending through.

And damn, Bison looks ready to take that divison.

BANG BANG BANG VIPER BEAM!

People shouldn't be overly surprsied at this. Everyone knows M. Bison (except for this Inviso fellow, apparently).

No need to get all worried about Bison vs. Diablo/Ridley--there was always reason to be concerned about that match.

This result doesn't say much about Bison though that we didn't already know.

BTW, I will again say that I am dubious about how certain people are that Akuma>Bison. Akuma was not around during the only time that people truly cared about SF2.
