Bracket: Lloyd - Vote: Wesker Points: 3/4
From: Sir Crono | Posted: 7/23/2005 12:02:32 AM | Message Detail
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.

Poor Lloyd, now it's easier to see why he did so bad. Casuals had no faith in him.

GO SAMUS! 85% and should rise during the day!

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.

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).

Because it's doubtful that Yuri is stronger than Earthworm Jim.

However, this match makes Mario vs Samus look like a closer match than I would have liked. --;

Nobody should have honestly expected 90%. Square or not, this is still GameFAQs. Any RPG character is better than the likes of Serious Sam and Aiai.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.
From: Heroic Mario | Posted: 7/23/2005 12:19:34 AM | Message Detail
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

Samus is performing about 4% better than Mario against, what I would assume, to be a much weaker character -- although both were weak.

Well, you've still gotta remember that it's much more difficult to go from 81 to 85% as it is to go, say, from 61 to 65%.

From: dragoontheguy | Posted: 7/23/2005 12:24:06 AM | Message Detail
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.
