Leon's Quest For Ultimate Glory:
1. Tripling Gordon Freeman.

From: yoblazer33 | Posted: 8/10/2005 11:42:08 AM | #238
Well...nearly EVERY bracket is now dead, so its anything goes from here on out...

Very few brackets are dead if Knuckles wins the division. =P

Anyone who had Squall or Vincent winning are kinda screwed, and anyone who had Squall, Vincent or Magus going past the devil division would be screwed, as Knuckles would not beat Sonic. (I think that's who he'd be up against.)

Leon's Quest For Ultimate Glory:
1. Tripling Gordon Freeman.

The problem with the stats is that many people seem to think that you can compare 2k3 characters with 2k4 characters and get a reliable result, etc. When I see people trying to compare 2k2 Link to 2k4 Link, or people actually using RPGuy's "all-time" stats for advice, I have to laugh. Between variables like seeding, the day of the week, vote rallying, vote stuffing, links to polls from other websites, vote totals, the positioning of the poll, and people's tastes genuinely changing from year to year, it's remarkable how many people don't realize that each poll has a life of it's own and the results can contrast with the results from previous years without anyone doing better or worse than expected.

I'd much rather use Ganondorf's match against Sephiroth to predict Ganon/Auron rather than his match with Magus two years ago.
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Ganon isn't as over-rated as you think.

Yuna probably got a 3-4% boost from FFX-2. The lowest Ganon could possibly be is his 2003 value.

Then again, Magus could have messed that up...

why are you guys trying to adjust the stats based on the result of one match? the stats are what they are - a guide, not something you believe in 100%. sitting there trying to change this value and adjust that value is just going to make them more unpredictable.

SC2k5: 21/22 (Curse you Ness!)
Today: Magus vs. Knuckles

Well... those that have Magus losing before the Elite Eight still may be in good shape. If you have Magus losing to Vincent, it's only a loss of 3 points. This is a MAJOR upset, and will probably cause TONS of brackets to lose a point. With other upsets looming, 3 points isn't that much of a gap to overcome. A -4 still won a prize in 2k4, and that was the most predictable bracket of them all.

Those with Squall > Magus are in EXCELLENT shape.

If Magus/Ganon is the problem... explain to me how Magus followed it up with 35% on Link. Ganondorf fell just a few points short of expectations against Ganondorf and Yuna, yet Magus is dropping the ball in a projected 60-40 match.

I'm beginning to fear for Solid Snake vs Zelda. If Zelda gets the right pic, and Snake gets a piece of **** again, then it could be as bad as we all think.

I've been Pwned by KoaC. He really is the king of all cosmos.

How many people with Knuckles winning the division have an actual shot at calling most everything correctly? It's only seven points, and the exact same situation has been overcome before. In last year's Spring Contest, I had Starcraft losing to Halo. It went on to make the Elite 8, and I won a prize regardless. =P

Snake is going to get his 8-bit picture in the next three rounds.

And I bet a kidney at this point all three of his opponents could handle Frog pretty well.

Well Zelda actually has a lot of strength. She is projected to almost beat 2k3 Snake at this point and she isnt behind any of those really weird matches.

But there is me trying to use the stats again.

Looks like I'm having crow for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At least this isn't a character I hate that's winning, so it's actually fun >_>

Knuckles really is invincible until he faces Solid Snake. Wow. Now watch Lloyd beat Zero and Diablo beat Sonic to truly convince everyone lock away anything remotely related to the extrapolated stats and never speak of them again.

Knuckles > Squall. I'd die of happiness were that to happen.

Hmmph, this match RAISED my confidence in Snake to the Final 4. >.>

For kicks, what would Knuckles get on 2005 Yuna using Ganondorf (whichever value is best to use)

You don't understand, do you? Ganondorf is underrated very little, if at all. Yet his value depends on Magus getting 35% on Link. Magus doesn't look at all like a guy who can get 35% on 2003 Link today.

I was just saying if Magus/Link wasnt the problem as someone suggested than Snake/Knuckles was. So Snake goes from around = Link to midcarder in a span of one match.

I dont buy it, but it is funny.
