Go Sora!

Fifteen zero brackets left and not even half-way thru the first round.

Ai-friggin'-yah.

I didn't expect that prediction percentage...

///
I simply must say I'm completely out of ideas for a sig!

Sora looks like he's about to club 47.

It's hard to say if Sora will get the tripling. I think the day vote will push him up close, but 47 could surprise.

Sora vs. Agent 47 - Bracket: Sora - Vote: Sora (10/11)

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...

number 26 on the LEADERBOARD!

...I'm freaking out here.

Wow, I'm amazed at how few thought Alucard would win.

I've heard casuals say that Alucard's lost in the first round every year. Not everyone takes the time to research past events.

Well, I think it's safe to say that Sora isn't going to quadruple Agent 47. ALUCARD OVER SORA! BOOK IT! AGENT 47 IS OBVIOUSLY EQUAL TO TANNER!!!!

Actually I am going to go out on a limb

Prediction percentage:

Kratos with 51.33

Not too shabby. Replace Kratos with Alucard and you're winner.

I think this is fairly good proof that Kratos was legitimately strong.

I disagree. I think it just proves that Kratos has a more casual bracket support than we could've thought. As loved as Symphony of the Night is, it isn't THAT popular. And even though God of War is fairly new, its been critically acclaimed. Maybe its because its newer? *shrugs*

The point is, I think this only helps Sora's round 2 match, really. I have a feeling casual bracket support favors him quite heavily. I'll bet you Sora/Agent 47 has over 90% of brackets favoring Sora. If not, i'd be surprised.

The -1's outdid the perfects yet again in this round. The 0's are just getting slaughtered.

Makes sense. Most of the -1s are people who dies on Ness, and they really had more knowledge of the contest (aside from the perfects who knew Ness was sort of an upset compared to other brackets.

Alucard was the favorite? Thst's odd; I thought the casuals would heavily favor Kratos.

The 3-seed curse lives on... Alucard has never made it past a 2-seed, but he's made the sweet 16 both times he was a 6-seed.

On a side note, I can't wait until I get back from vacation. This keyboard I'm on sucks=/

I agree with MasterMage's point on the -1's. I think its those people who thought Ness shouldn't have had any chance to win that researched the other matches well. Of course, i'm one of them haha.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.

Sora might push for the tripling with the day vote, but he won't do much better than he is right now.

I'm interested to see the pictures for the Dream Division, in particular to see what Ceej gives Cecil. Plus, I'm ready to see what the lovely Chun-Li gets before...getting beaten by Bowser.

That's right! I totally forgot we're getting new match pics today. I hope their awesome.

And Sora's looking to get either 73-74%, in no way showing that Sora is a lock over Alucard.

Actually I think the day vote will help Agent 47 a little more than Sora. I predict 69-31 as the final percentage.

I wonder how many perfects will be left by the end of the round? I mean, especially with the Ness vs. CJ thing, we may be losing them rather quickly.

I think it'll be below 100. Past that... can't say.

I can't think of anything to put here, but I can't just leave it blank, can I?

I'd take Fisher, night.

Sora vs. Agent 47 - Bracket: Sora - Vote: Sora (10/11)

Kirby should get his basic waving picture unless Ceej decides to do something out of the ordinary. I'd personally like to see him get this so he can maximize his Nintendo vote:

http://www.nintelligent.net/gamemedia/242/051303_airride_kirbysword.jpg

Still, Ceej hasn't been using rehashed pictures all the time this contest so far (except for Ganondorf, who ALWAYS gets that one picture).

As for what Cecil could get...

http://www.ffzone.de/ff4/images/cecil.jpg

The second one looks cool, but it doesn't even look human. I don't know which would help Cecil more.

The King of all Cosmos' route to summer victory:
Round 1: (4) Tidus... LET ME DREAM :

Yep, all the -1s are getting more matches right than the perfects, because a lot of them, myself included, all didn't trust Ness...

And wow, Kratos sure did mess up a lot of brackets there. That's the lowest prediction percentage we've had so far, as Ness/CJ was 51.9% in Ness' favor.

I still hope that last match just meant GoW was stronger than expected, and that Alucard still has enough power to oust Sora next round...

Well, I think it's safe to say that Samus/Yuri will be the biggest blowout of the contest. The only match left with even the potential to be worse is Sonic/Jin.

Yeah, there was a Dark Knight Cecil in the FMV, but it wasn't a close-up, I don't believe. Still, he could zoom in.

I can't find it either, meaning that might be bad news for Cecil. I'll look around some more though.
