Wow, I think it actually does when you kinda use Knuckles unadjusted 2k4 value. Wow, it HINTED us right in our faces..

How many characters have always won one match in every contest?

Mario, Samus, Sonic, Crono, Megaman, Solid Snake, Dante and Knuckles are the only ones I can remember. Clinkeroth doesn't count since they are not in this bracket.

But wait a minute, if Magus's true value is his unadjusted 2k4 value, how the hell did he beat Ganondorf?

But of course Knux has to win first.. He's increasing but slowly increasing.. Magus can still win

Moltar already answered my question in the chat. Thanks anyway, asses.

And Knuckles is slowing down. He gained a measly 15 votes in the last ten minutes, with Magus gaining two on him on the update before that.

this isn't about adjusted and unadjusted values - this is about one character just beating another when they're not supposed to. no amount of statistical bending is going to account for the fact that Ganon would crush Knuckles and that Magus beat Ganon.

Hmm..

2003 Magus would get 84.55% on Spring Luca. Instead he got 81.04%

Adjusted 2004 Knuckles would get 79.81%.

Luca and the Stats > us.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised to see Vincent only get 52% on Dante, Squall only get 60% on Geno, and then Magus beating them both.

The Dveil Division is just that ****ed up.

Although it looks like Knuckles ain't looking back, this match will get better at night. So, I'll go and play some FFIV and a expect a change on this when I come back.

Devil by leaps and bounds. It's not as if Kirby defeating Tidus will shock us more than this.

Snake/Frog can be explained the same way as LInk/Magus and Mario/Shadow, IT CANT.

To think we thought MM/Tidus was the problem match.

Well...nearly EVERY bracket is now dead, so its anything goes from here on out...

My bracket bleeds with the lost of my Devil Champion. But, I can't help but smile at Knuckles winning.

This really throws out the stats out the window. Guess its time to start from scratch.

Oh and Knux > Ganon.

It's now official that Magus over-performed on Ganon, Sam's 2003 performance was more legit than we thought, Luca's 2004 appearance was more legit that we thought, and Knuckles is heavily under-rated.

Yay!

Knux won't be winning the division when he has to get past Squall and even if he does.. He has Vincent to contend with..

If you use Knux instead of Magus to work out Sam Fishers's XStats placing [03], he's a lot closer to his 04 stat.

From: NewLib | Posted: 8/10/2005 8:45:46 AM | Message Detail
Yeah which means we got to start using them more carefully. We cant put much bearing on them. They are more or less just a guide.

Like a fantasy football prediction sheet: You can go by the book and still lose, because the sheet cant predict how every player will do just what they have done.
