For such a brilliant mind, Magus has a problem defining the term 'up,' apparently.

Knuckles broke it while vigorously stuffing the X-Stats down Magus' throat.

Nah, guys, voting has just stopped. It seems Magus and Knuckles are not the draws we thought they were.


I'm actually laughing my ass off over here.... XD

Oh yeah just to note, if Magus continues this pace he isnt reaching the magic 2000 vote barrier before morning breaks.

These boards are going to be wild if he comes back.

Well, Squall and Vincent are definitely on a crash course for the divisional finals. Congrats, Leon.

Looks like Lucid was right about the unadjusted stats being more viable than the adjusted, after all.

So everything Square before the PSX except for Crono is at best midcarders.

I'd say there's a good chance that in order for Magus to win this match, he's going to need a fair sized rally with the second night vote. Because Knuckles taking the lead during the day seems likely.

But what does this have to do with the 20XXDF adjustment? If anything, this should argue for 20XXDF. Unless you wanted to talk about adjusting Crono vs. Magus :P.

If Magus bows out in round one, in addition to setting my bracket ablaze I shall cackle like a mad thing. Knux is easily trading blows with him his normal hours of glory. Heh.

Oh well. Zelda's gonna ravage me soon as she beats Snake... so go Knux!

20XXDF really doesnt affect this match at all since we are judging Magus through Tidus who is also affected by it.

Using completely unadjusted stats from SC2K4 Magus is ahead of Knuckles by .02%.

I have yet to pass judgement on that adjustment, but the better Knuckles does, the more an adjustment seems valid actually.

George Romero exaggerated the level of Kefka's decline, because his cheating was far more noticable early on.

Notice how it's never the toss up matches that kill brackets, it's the upsets not even God himself could have seen coming (Hand over Kuja, Ness over CJ, StarCraft's entire run). At this rate, maybe Gordon Freeman will finally win a match.
