Well, Kefka wins, but looking at it in perspective, the point won't matter to me that much anyway. My bracket is zany enough that I will win or lose by at least 6 points.

From: Slowflake | Posted: 8/6/2005 7:34:14 PM | Message Detail
It's always an actual concession. I had little to no doubt Kefka would win from the moment I first saw the results this morning. You need a lot of luck on your side to overcome a 1000-vote deficit and still win in the end. Only Samus and Starcraft have ever done it.

Not really, 7:00 PM in Pacific time.
6:00-7:00 is indeed around the time I would consider "night" beginning.

I still want people to show me how Kefka didn't do better with the night vote in his past matches. I'm aware he didn't WIN the night vote, or even increase his percentage in most cases...but still, something always seemed off to me about that. You either do better with the night vote or worse, you don't do exactly the same--there's always a discrepancy. And I have a hard time believing Kefka did WORSE with the night vote...

Kefka, did, to be fair, slightly lose the night vote to Diablo. But then again, losing the night vote to Diablo isn't exactly something to be ashamed about.

You don't know how wrong you are. The brackets should be split, with a slight Kefka advantage.

Also, I showed earlier that the last 6 hours of their match favored Kefka over Knuckles two or three percent more than during the rest of the match. Vercetti is, without doing any major calculations, closer to Knuckles than to Diablo in terms of the night vote.

From: Karma Hunter | Posted: 8/6/2005 7:44:24 PM | Message Detail
After seeing 60% of the brackets favor Kefka against Knux I'm guessing we could see a 55% prediction percentage for Kefka. Which is a shame, as Vercetti could have been our first bracket upset.

I don't think Kefka will have an advantage, at all.

Vercetti always does ridiculously well in prediction percentages, whereas Kefka does alright to poorly.

I can't imagine Kefka getting the higher number.

From: Karma Hunter | Posted: 8/6/2005 7:47:51 PM | Message Detail
I know it's hard to see Kefka doing well on the prediction percentage, but there are a LOT of bracket voters that will look at him and think "FINAL FANTASY = INSTANT WIN" and put that down in the bracket. Which is why you always see so much confusion whenever he or any other low-tier FF Character bows out...

In any case, more than half the brackets made the call for Ness over CJ. I'm thinking it'll be the same here.

Let's play the imagination game. How do you guys think this would have turned out had it been Lettuce Kefka Vs. Hawaiian shirt Vercetti?

Vercetti would probably win by a good percent.

And the opposite would be true in the case of Angel Kefka.
