Hmmm...Lloyd probably had such a low percentage due to many of the
bracket makers not knowing who he was. Even if they didn't know who
Wesker was, they had at least seen him in a contest before.

That was pretty much my justification for picking Wesker. I've never
played ToS, not to mention the one time I did try to buy it about 7
months ago, there were none in stock in this area at all.

90%? Don't get your hopes up. To go from 85-90%, a character would
essentially need to increase the quality of her performance by 1/3.

Wesker apparently had a decent amount of bracket support for this match. An okay performance by all groups.
15 people fell off the Top 50 today. YourEliteness, Dark_SS, JaxOmen, StarWolfMcCloud, AuthenticZephyr, RyanSaotome, anthpel11, SSJGoten2004, ZergZergling, DaNNo71886, ssjevot_GF, BigMan44, Superluigi2003, SBelmont33 and the one who had CATS taking it all GFRomaji.

On a side note, I don't think the board has ever done a "better" job
embarrassing itself at the start of the contest. We have completely
bungled two of the first four matches.

I've already got all of my bases covered for this division though, with
the possible exception of Auron doing something other than beating his
opponent with 65% (but you just don't mess with that. It's tradition,
like CATS).

It doesn't make it look bad, but it should at least raise a question
about just how confident one might have been about Samus over Mario
prior. It wasn't as though everyone was giving Mario a chance in that
one, despite how he had a great one.
Samus is performing about 4% better than Mario against, what I would assume, to be a much weaker character -- although both were weak. But yeah, I'm definitely not worrying about anything based on this performance.
Normally, I would cheer Samus to get as high as possible, but doing so makes it harder for Mario to win. =p

I really don't feel like getting into an argument about it, but SFF
could have given mario an additional 3% or so in his match. Even if it
didn't it's not like it's impossible or even remotely farfetched for
Yuri to be around Laharl level.
