The only thing that could make this division any more screwed up is if Geno beats Squall tomorrow.

Heh, Geno vs. Knuckles...


Considering how wierd this entire division has been I wouldn't put it past him...

Knuckles > Squall

BOOK IT.

But really, I think this is just a poll of Knuckles benefitting against finally going up against another character.

But damn, he was underrated 3 years in a row all because he had to face Snake.

Just out of curiousity, how do you think MMXcalibur will take this when he gets back?

**Leaves to tear up bracket**

Knuckles > Vincent looks 10 times more possible than Knuckles > Magus did yesterday.

It sounds funny and all, but it's the truth.

Though that would give me a good laugh, it would make my inner Squall fanboy cry. Oh well, we shall see.

There was bound to be SOME margin for error about Magus's strength seeing as we were unable to really rate him last year. Heres an interesting question: what does this mean to Ganondorf and Tidus? Ganondorf has clearly not been overrated significantly if at all, and Tidus well we're not going to know until his match with Kirby. Although then again Tiuds had his 2k2 results AND his 2k3 results to go by so perhaps that means something but whatever we'll know that fate of that trio soon enough.

This is ridiculous. And yes, the stats have roughly zero credibility at this point. Of course, many knew Magus was overrated, but no one thought it was to this extent. God. Damn.

I wouldn't pick Vincent to beat Magus, but Squall is a definite possibility. The winner of this match vs Squall will likely decide the division.

Oh, and as weird as the Devil Division will wind up being, the hardest division and the bracket killing division will be Dream.

Is it just me, or does it seem that a lot of Magus fans like Knuckles as well?

Well come to think of it this is the only match that comes to mind where I didn't vote for magus. Possibly against link as well, but I don't think I voted in that match.

What was stupid was you people having to adjust Magus's result of 30% on Crono in a way that wouldn't give you a heart attack. :-(

Well, Knuckles has my vote against Squall, and after what we've seen in the last three weeks, I challenge anyone to tell me that Squall is a "guarantee."

On a separate note, this monumental upset isn't generating quite as much buzz as I thought, at least not in this topic. Looks like we're all still too ****ing tired from Vercetti/Kefka. =P

From: lettuce Kefka | Posted: 8/10/2005 8:12:05 AM | Message Detail
From what I posted in the other topic....
OK, using Luca Blight (Spring), I got Magus to be 28.93%.

Check I done the calculation right:
(10.97/18.96)*50

Now compared to Knux, that would put him still ahead, (Knux ~24%)

Guess we gave Magus too much for SSF and he over performed verses Link.

I guess people didn't like Crono more than Magus after all..?

roffle

I like to think less of this as Magus being overrated and more of it being Knuckles massively underrated.

That being said, Knux is finally reacing the Sweet 16 this year!
