If DK keeps this up, I think denying a general Nintendo increase would just be plain delusional.

But unfortunately, his percentage is dropping fast.

Despite the recent perfect predictions by the zeros, I really don't think they stand a chance...

Oh. My. God.
Did the PS2's light just change color...?!

Mario has 16 in the Top 50. Crono has 17. Crono is now the fav. among the Top 50...

If CJ beat Ness I would think that there will be a 0 bracket.

It would be hilarious if this turned out to be DK's biggest win ever, considering he's faced Bub and Vyse in the past.

Well, it's not as if we've had many very difficult matches lately. I expect 4 or 5 zeroes to fall to Vercetti vs. Kefka, assuming Vercetti wins (as I expect him to). If something like Terra > Dante or Kerrigan > Vincent happens, I can practically guarantee that we'll have no zero brackets. Even if everything goes as expected I wouldn't be surprised to still lose them all.

So it looks like my analysis was gone to waste. DK (if he ends at 68%) is getting what Freeman adjusted Sam was suppose to get.

Wow, DK is actually starting to stabilize. If he ends this match with 70%... DK > MC. And I'm actually being somewhat serious now.

The last zero will probably pick Gordon Freeman to lose again.

Yes, the longest lasting perfect bracket of all time had Sephiroth winning.

I'm so nervous about that Kerrigan/Vincent match. IF she pulls the win, I think the leaderboard will be pretty much flushed clean and it'll make me look great.

...if not, I'm outta there.

Currently sitting pretty at #16 on the leaderboard

I'm glad I went with the "Nintendo has increased across the board" theory. Bowser > Snake, Ganon > Auron, and Link > Cloud.

Snake/Bowser is the only thing I disagree with Ulti. I just don't see Bowser increasing THAT much. He'll give Snake a close fight though.

While I agree that Nintendo has definitely increased, I'm a bit worried about Ganon > Auron, because FFX characters have been doing surprisingly well (besides Tidus) and drawing in crazy high vote totals (including Tidus).

Can I archive all of your posts for future use? You argue every single time someone makes a statement that disagrees with your bracket, and it's beyond annoying.

And Zelda > Vivi by leaps and bounds, just like plenty of us Zelda fans said it would be.

Give me a logical reason for Bowser over Snake, Ulti. Seriously, lets hear it. A good solid explanation.

You mean like how Ganon/Yuna got 12000 more votes than Auron/Big Boss despite Auron/BB being the poll directly after Ganon/Yuna?

I in the other hand don't even have Bowser going that far.

Snake is my biggest worry at this point. He's got what I've deemed the "Nintendo Gauntlet" to get through, but my fanboyism serves as a light of hope; Snake will do it!

Yes, Auron/Big Boss didn't get very high vote totals for some reason. I don't have an explanation really, but I don't think it's coincidence that three out of four FFX matches have broken 100000. Maybe the vote totals are higher when the match is somewhat close? *shrugs*

Substitute "Ganon/Yuna" with "Ganon/Tidus" and "Auron/Big Boss" with "Sam/Magus" and you have the same thing.

The only performance that Bowser did surprisingly awesome on was his percentage against Sephiroth, where he had a great pic at that. The rest of the time he was dealing with fodder.
