Damn... and I had Magus winning the division, and was actually pretty confident about it, especially after I saw Ulti and MMX had that in their brackets too. I think we can expect CJayC to post today, since this is a close match (until now, at least -_-), but maybe he'll only say that he detected no cheating. Anyway, I'm not losing hope until the match is oficially over.

It's simply Gundam, Magus was just over-rated.

Overrated THIS much? I don't believe it. Knux needs to have risen in the stats at least somewhat.

There is overrated and then there is missing the mark by 8%.

It's been two whole years since we had any accurate data on Magus and the match where we had data on him happens to be inaccurate. Knuckles could be underrated, sure, but I'd blame most of it on Magus really.

It's easier to drop then to gain..

I would go more towards Magus dropped..

Overrated is just bull****. Last year, he proved his worth and got the ranking he deserved. Maybe Knux increased signifcantly and Magus dropped significantly. Or Maybe Knux was always this strong and Snake was struggling harder than he should have been.

All I know is that when you adjust Snake according to this match, Snake is right under Samus . That is when you know you should just throw the stats out the window =/.

Magus needs to have dropped for sure, but I think knux also gained somewhat as well. Squall vs. knux is actually potentially the match of round 2,

He could barely break 40% on Snake. He wasn't being underrated =/. Snake was being underrated. I think the X-Stats are HIGHLY flawed and that there are bigger gaps between some characters..

I think its

Link
Cloud
Sephiroth
Samus
Crono
Megaman
Mario

and then a HUGE ****ing gap...

Sonic
Snake

etc.

There is no other way Snake can keep Knux at 40% but lose to Megaman with only 43%..

Why is Magus being even the slightest overrated so hard to believe? Didn't you see how Luca matched up to Kefka in the Spring Contest? Oh btw, it wasn't last year, it was 2003

Not exactly. That's only if you seriously think Knuckles was that strong in the first place.

Because everyone thought Knux was a mid-carder at best. People saw Snake only getting 60% on him and writing Snake off.

This would make Solid Snake look good only if Magus stayed at his 2k3 level, but he didn't. Stop trying to find excuses to boost Snake other than MGS3.
