We already saw three drop on Bowser.

But my silent fears have gripped me, long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue has tripped me. Must I always be alone?

And if 3 of the 49 thought Bowser would lose to Sigma then we'll see some of the ones who survive today lose when Bowser meets Ocelot. Plus, 6 of them still have a non-seph winner. That's not looking good for them.

As annoying as Fedor has been, the only matches he could possibly get wrong are the Kefka/Bison/Diablo trio and Robutt/Glove.

He needs nominations, 61! Nominate Raiden (Metal Gear Solid 2) for SC2K5!

Random statement as we wait for the stats to update.

Super Mario Bros: "Lost Levels" is the pinnacle of 8-Bit Mario, and MAYBE even 2D Mario. There are few games that have as much of a satisfactory feeling by playing and beating them.

Pretty good showing by the perfects, well above the average. One of the people with a score of 3 got the match right. Oo

12 people fell off the Top 50 today. drummaster44, MakeYourChance, njb_367, Addiction314, L_Dragon, neosnipes, Legacy674, kidmigaru, Akash1223, Feath, Shoenin_Kakashi and Knucinos did not have Ocelot beating Wily.

Still four perfects with wrong winners...

Vergil isn't doing that bad at this second, though he'll likely fall below 20% before the match is done.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I think Vergil may be able to avoid being tripled.

Vergil might keep above 20%, but I really doubt he'd be able to stay above 25%.

Meh, I'm being optimistic. Go Vergil! (I really do think he'll stay well above 20% though)

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

So lets say Vergil manage to keep his 24% against Sephiroth, how good would that make him in the X stats, and more important how would that make Ghaleon look in the X Stats?
---
Zelos: Don't hate me just because I'm beautiful.

Well, overall this would put Vergil at Bombermanish level, and Ghaleon at Laharlish.

*Taps on your shoulder and points* My tuba!

Wow, Vergil's doing rather good. I expected to see him around 20%... well, the day vote still has to come in, but whatever.

So did mine, don't feel bad. :(

'Tis sad to think the first perfect bracket will not include a Guru... I guess time to just hope havoc is strickened upon this contest and nobody is perfect. Go Diablo... to the title match!

Any chance Sephiroth won't have at least 2/3 of the bracket picking him to win it all?

Vergil should finish anywhere from about 20.5% to about 23.5% if Ghaleon's somewhere between Laharl and Luca, by the way.

I'd be really tempted to take Nemesis over Wily, actually, but I'd likely stay true to my preferences and take the good doctor himself.

I asked this a while back and nobody really seemed like they knew for sure, so I'll ask again now that we got Revolver/Wily out of the way: would anybody take Revolver or Wily over M. Bison?

Spring Contest 2005 - Points: 18/20 - Matches: 16/18 - Rank: 00395/24748 - Today: Sephiroth - Tomorrow: Liquid

Some stats I felt like collecting:

In Spc2k5 round 1, we had

0/16 matches where the winner had less than 51%
5/16 matches where the winner had less than 55.1%
8/16 matches where the winner had less than 60%

In Sc2k4 round 1, we had

3/32 matches where the winner had less than 51%
5/32 matches where the winner had less than 55.1%
9/32 matches where the winner had less than 60%

In Sc2k4 round 2, we had

1/16 matches where the winner had less than 51%
4/16 matches where the winner had less than 55.1%
6/16 matches where the winner had less than 60%

In other words, the first round of this contest had more semi-close matches than the first and second rounds of the last contest, but not as many real nailbiters (in the end; Kuja/MH began a nailbiter but MH ran away with the day vote).

(I used 55.1% instead of 55% since there were two matches in Sc2k4 round 1 and Sc2k4 round 2 where the winners had 55.08% and 55.01% respectively, so I felt they should go in the under 55% category.)

For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener

Just got to lookin'; if Dr. Wily = Dr. Robotnik, Sin would get 44.29% on Revolver, 48.84% on Nemesis, and 63.05% on Ultros without SFF.
---
Serious Reminder: Vote for Dr. Wily

I think Dr Robotnik will be better than Wily, since he's a playable character in the most popular Sonic game this generation.
---
Zelos: Don't hate me just because I'm beautiful.

Me too, but since the relation between them's been speculated alot, I wanted to throw that out there.

Off to work guys.

If Lavos gets significantly more than 35% against Liquid Snake, I'd have to call Robotnik the favorite against Master Hand. Currently I still have to side with Master Hand, though.

I don't want to think about who to pick between Robotnik and Wily right now. =p

---
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

I'd pick Robotnik over Wily without a second thought.

I liked his mech levels in SA2:B >_>
---
SpC2k5: 18/20 Next up: Bowser, Ocelot, Sephiroth, Liquid
*is Janus5000*

Bowser had to of gained by some amount (maybe underrepresented by SFF) because I refuse to believe Ghaleon could beat Sigma 55-45.
---
Vote for Robotnik, he isnt a woman or a giant slug or a .... hand.

Why is it that Bowser had to have gained or had some SFF involved? Can't you just accept that your choice character sucks? It sure would be a lot easier that way, after all.
---
But my silent fears have gripped me, long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue has tripped me. Must I always be alone?

Sigma is my choice character? I just dont see how Ghaleon could be stronger than Sigma. Nothing to do with choice. I personally hate Sigma as do I much that has to do with MMX.
---
Vote for Robotnik, he isnt a woman or a giant slug or a .... hand.

Then quit complaining. If he's weaker than Ghaleon good for Ghaleon. There's nothing backing "I don't see why..." when it comes to thinking people are misplaced in the XSt. Characters that I would have thought would have done better didn't, I'm sure we've all experienced that (and the reverse). It's a popularity contest, and apparently people just don't like Sigma. That's all there is to it, regardless of how you see it.
---
But my silent fears have gripped me, long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue has tripped me. Must I always be alone?

I don't think Sigma has a strong backing anyway. Unlike Dr. Wily, I've heard a lot of "Why won't you just die already?" comments whenever Sigma makes a return in the next MMX game.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

Hostile as ever, I see. Wasn't complaining. Just noticing something that I thought was weird. Really Im trying to find a reason for my belief that Bowser and Ganon might be stronger in this contest simply because they are the only character from their game series.
---
Vote for Robotnik, he isnt a woman or a giant slug or a .... hand.

Hostile as ever, I see.

Don't worry, Chichi loves us all. ^_^

I do think you are wrong, though, but that's mostly because I had never heard of Sigma before this contest, and I had at least heard of Ghaleon years ago, so I was probably more than a little influenced by that.
---
Vexilla regis prodeunt Inferni. ~ Dante Alighieri

I just have a theory that people will vote differently for the same characters in a regular character and a villian contest. Nothing to extreme, so Im not saying Gannon will be Sephiroth, but something that might change a few percentages. I personally am anti-voting Sephiroth simply because I dont think he is a villian.
---
Vote for Robotnik, he isnt a woman or a giant slug or a .... hand.

You know, I had an amazing thought. People just might be voting Bowser heavily because they think he's a great villain, in a villains contest after all. There just might be some people out there voting for who they actually think is the better villain, as opposed to who they think is a better character. The gap could be explained by the fact that Bowser isn't exactly a deep character, but is a legendary villain.

Some people might actually be voting for who they think is the better villain, believe it or not. That's why I think comparing Villain stats to the Character Battle stats isn't exactly a good idea, considering voters voted on different criteria. Just a thought

“TheRye is like Jesus, if Jesus ever played video games.” -Inviso

I suppose it is possible, but I think it is simply more likely that people are voting by which one they like more. But let's say that it is happening: Do you think that the percentage could really be anything more than, say, 1 - 2%?
