Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 194
From: HaRRicH | Posted: 8/9/2005 11:36:57 PM | Message Detail
Gotta love Knux.


Yes, I realize that, given the right opponent (say, Tanner) and timing (say, 2k3), Lara Croft could probably do the same thing...but does anybody think that Kerrigan is on Tanner's level or think the vote totals are generally as high as 2k3's was? I realize this is an extreme, but you get the point being made here; Vincent's no joke.

From: Lopen | Posted: 8/9/2005 11:40:29 PM | Message Detail
These vote totals are close enough to 2k3 for me. Only a few thousand less average per match. Alls this means is that Vincent actually would have broken into the 80,000 club were this 2k3. (because he doesn't look like he'll quite be doing it now)

"Vincent may be the favorite, but saying Dante has no chance is idoitic"

No, it's logical.


There's no proof that Vincent is a lock and saying him beating Kerrigan so badly (who is new if you haven't forgotten) and saying that Vincent is from FFVII will get him the win aren't good enough reason (They're just as valid as Dante beating Vincent).

From: HaRRicH | Posted: 8/9/2005 11:48:10 PM | Message Detail
Nor do I call them jokes. However, I think the majority of us would take Kerrigan over Ratchet or Luca (to go against myself for a second, Kerrigan's got a higher percent here than Ratchet or Luca...there's a lil' squeezing room). I also think it's undeniable fact that this is Vincent's first match, heh. Compare that to this being Dante's and Magus's fourth and third summer contest, respectively, and that this match confused alot of our board while the other two matches were likely unanimous. It's also surprising to see that Vincent is the only one of the three who is the lower seed and accomplishing this (or is being damn close; if he doesn't get either one, he's still undeniably close enough to have good reason to think he's strong).

Hey, I have been doing it for how long now? I'm not suddenly going to stop the praise, especially since he's done so well today. ;)

But now we must move the remaining support over to Leon for the rest of Round 1.

charmander: looks like no amount of logic can make you change your mind, nvm then.

1st: What logic Vincent went up against a new character, I don't care if it doesn't feel right when you rank Kerrigan many character ranks don't feel right either. The only advantage here is that Vincent if from FFVII, but characters don't equal games.

2nd: Of course I'm not going to change my mind, unlike some people on this topic I didn't let the board help me and just before I submited my bracket on the first day I convinced myself in each match.

From: Lopen | Posted: 8/9/2005 11:57:25 PM | Message Detail
Well, fooling our illustrious "pros" doesn't mean anything. Look no further than Kuja for your proof. With this picture guaranteed, I wouldn't necessarily be too weary of picking Ratchet or Luca Blight (especially Luca) over Kerrigan. While I didn't personally expect Kerrigan to be that weak, Kerrigan's floor is really low. Especially with this picture. I stand by that. That's why these numbers aren't convincing me alone.

Oh, and Knuckles breaks 45% in the next match, I'm calling it! Let's see if Lopen goes 3 for 3 with his "insane predictions!".

Vincent with 83% of the brackets.

Just to give Magus's range again in this match...

Assuming he remained constant since 2003 and is at that value, he's projected to get 61.71% against adjusted Knuckles.

Assuming he remained constant since 2003 and is at that value, he's projected to get 65.55%.

Congrats to the people who called this match from the start. Luckily, I had Vincent in my bracket, so no losses there. I am regretting a tinge about not putting him over Magus, but perhaps Kerrigan is just that bad.

I can't help but be impressed by the performance, as mediocre as Vincent is.
