Only one questionable match? Master Hand/Robotnik and Kefka/Diablo(Bison...ha) are both questionable. Also, I would be surprised to see a few people wreck on Ocelot (the great white hype).

Yeah but Master Hand and Kuja involved 2 unknown strengths. The characters remaining are fairly well tiered, except the slight mystery between Diablo and Kefka.

Well he got it to 50 :)

Since when is Robotnik "tried". Frankly, even if you could pick the round 2 matches after round 1 was done I don't think you'd see a good % getting that match right.

60 just like that :)

Time for me to go to bed; work tomorrow again. I hope Diablo wins so I can kick myself even harder for picking Ridley, even if I like Bison better and voted for the Crest King himself.

Master Hand is so going to beat Robotnik. I mean, the latter barely beat Sin, but MH stomped the higher seeded Kuja pretty nicely.

Seeding means nothing. After all, we're watching a 6 vs. a 7 right now.

I'm going to go master my hand right now. Anyone have a tissue?

I know they mean nothing, I'm just saying, Kuja was expected to do better and all.

I guess one way that may sweep the perfects away is Hand beating Eggman, didn't think about that possibility. But there is still a good chance of multiple perfect brackets.
---

At the rate we're going, if we have multiple perfects, there won't be very many at all. Ocelot/Bowser, Kefka/Diablo, Robotnik/Master Hand are all likely to take perfects with them.

Just an interesting side note: The only other 6 vs. 7 we've had in contest history was Sephiroth/Mega Man 2002, which turned out to be a pretty good match. Link to the Past is the only 6 seed ever to make it to the divisional finals, and there has never been one make the Final Four. Bison could make a little history if he can actually somehow manage a win here.

My money's on Master Hand in that match. I just can't see Sin being that much better than Kuja.

And I don't see why we're saying Diablo's going to win if he makes it to the day vote. It's not like his day vote was vastly superior to his night vote. He gained like 1%, that's it.
---
He needs nominations, 61! Nominate Raiden (Metal Gear Solid 2) for SC2K5!

This contest has already made history: a f'in glove owning a decently developed character.

How long does Bison have to hold a lead (whatever it is) for the match to be considered up in the air?

Whats the longest an underdog has held a lead before getting crushed?

I think it's got more to do with the fact that Street Fighter has been notoriously poor with the day vote than anything else, and the fact that diabloii.net will likely have linked here by then.
---
Can't keep a good man down, baby!

Yeah. But from this point in his match against Albedo, Bison dropped over 4%

And Albedo doesn't seem like someone who'd get a lot of day vote if you know what I mean.

Bison's lead keeps fluctuating from 25-50.
---

And in that match, he reached his peak(not including the first 15 minutes) at around the 3 hour mark before he started dropping.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Does anyone have the 15 minute stats for LTTP/FFIII from whenever that happened? I remember that being the last time I was optimistic (maybe Earthbound or Ness) and I'm trying to remember when it slipped.

Even so, going from 73% to 69% is alot easier than going from 51% to 47%. Bison's not out of this yet.
---

It's inevitable.

Except he doesn't have to go to 47%. Going from 50.8 to 49.9 will suffice, and that should be pretty easy =D

Bison is proving to be extremely pesky.

(temporarily) Back around 30.

They say one should not speak unkindly of the dead so I say "Nice try."

Gah, this is going the way of FFIII/LTTP, two really evenly matched games quality wise (I won't even dare speak to what goes through the mind of voters) only a lot faster. The Devil vs. That bastard in the arcade games you used to love... Pretty close, but the Devil's gonna take this one :(

Every time it looks like Diablo will inevitably take the lead, Bison pushes back a bit.
---

Good grief. It's back over 50. This is irritating.

If Bison can hold his lead through 10,000 votes than its a match.

seems like Diablo can't quite "close the deal," although he's been damn close a couple times. i hope you guys are right that he'll perform better during the day vote! where are the diabloii.net fans already?

THIS IS ALL CJAYC'S DOING.
