Welcome back Ulti; hope you got my PCA.
Heh, it's funny how Solid decisively beat Zelda and most situations of him losing before the Final Four look grim...then today happened. Solid and Bowser are having a show-off battle and are probably gonna have a great match (so I'm hopin', anyways)...
...God speed, Snake.

Well, one way to look at this, as I'm sure other people have already
pointed it out, is who would you take between Ryu/Zelda? I would side
with Ryu, I think, or at least not overwhelmingly with Zelda. Before
today happened, who would you have taken, Ryu or Zelda? I mean, that
could spell doom by itself for Snake.

Well, the gauntlet is over, with no close matches whatsoever.
I'll laugh if tomorrow end up being the closest match of the round.
The only match left that matters is Tifa vs. Luigi, just to predict if she can take down Sonic.
And if Vincent can miraculously double Dante, he might have a shot at Crono.
And here's hoping Squall won't choke or even job against Knux...

I'm still sticking with my Dante upset. I think that match will be close.
Not like it matters, since my bracket was killed by today's match.

I'd take Zelda, she has LoZ:CE behind her in addition to already being ahead of Ryu in the X-stats.
But Snake vs. Zelda was much closer than Bowser vs. Ryu, so Bowser IS the statistical favorite.

Flood Division Round 2 - Match 41 – (1)Master Chief vs. (4)Donkey Kong
Master Chief - Guns and corny one-liners can get you far.
Round 1 – vs. CATS (Chief: 68.83% - CATS: 31.17%)
All our vote really belonged to CATS that time.
DK - When I walk around in public wearing only a tie, I get arrested for it.
Round 1 – vs. Sam Fisher (DK: 64.76% - Fisher: 35.24%)
Fisher continues to show that no one cares for him.
After 5 tougher and exciting matches, we finally get a break with the Flood Division. Then again, I think Kefka/Vercetti was enough for everyone.
So Chief vs. DK. Chief was actually looking pretty bad after his match with CATS. Even after Halo 2, he failed to break 69% on CATS. This might be because CATS’s mug was easy to view for all and scored him a nice boost. Then, at the start of the next match, upset flags were raised as DK destroyed Fisher. Of course, knowing DK, something bad always happens to him, and he lost his 70%+ percentage all throughout the day until he fell under 65%.
So, the upset looked good at first, but now we can all see that Chief will win. Don’t expect the ape to roll over and die though in the match.
Moltar’s Bracket Says: Master Chief will win.
Moltar’s Prediction is: Chief: 56% - DK: 44%
Ulti’s Analysis
(Special note from Ulti: I'm either getting married or on my honeymoon as you're reading this, so know that all of my second round writeups will suck. I'm doing the same short writeups that I did for the last round, because I don't have time to be extensive.)
(Special note from Moltar: DK! Donkey Krunk!)
Though it's conceivable that DK could win, can he actually pull off the upset against post-Halo 2 Master Chief? It would be a hilarious upset, but can it actually _happen_?
...screw it, I'll predict a close match for kicks.
Prediction: Master Chief with 50.13%
Outback’s Analysis
Chief/CATS and DK/Sam proved that DK can make this close, but DK's rather lackluster performance in recent years makes me think that it's unlikely that, no matter how overrated MC is by 2k4 stats, for DK to win this, but it'll be close.
Master Chief with 54.67%
Inviso’s Analysis
Last round, Master Chief and Donkey Kong’s matches greatly saddened me. Master Chief did extremely poorly against ****ing CATS. Couldn’t beat Ansem and completely lame, overused, and dead joke CATS. Meanwhile, Donkey Kong almost doubled Sam Fisher. Donkey Kong has definitely been weakening over the years, yet he still managed to pull a great performance and make Sam look weaker than Vyse. Hopefully I’m right, or else Gamefaqs really is one of the worst sites on the net, but Master Chief, albeit looking weak, should still be able to beat Donkey Kong. If not, then Nintendrones have truly taken over the site.

Soul’s Analysis
How they got here
Master Chief defeated CATS: 68.83% - 31.17%
Donkey Kong defeated Sam Fisher: 64.76% - 35.24%
DK! Donkey Kong!
DK! Donkey Kong is *BOOM*........ Headshot. :)
Sorry, just had to do that eventually.
Ok, on with the match. Well, talk about underperforming to the fullest. Master Chief, the character that was stronger then Ryu according to the adjusted stats, gets 12% less on CATS then Ryu did in 2002. Yes, yes, 2002 results with a grain of salt, I understand that. But this was just to good to let up. Why was he ranked so high in the first place?
Oh right, he was part of that 20XX division, that basically took a dump on the stats last year. Yes, the infamous Frog/Chief/Liquid, as well as MM/Snake/Tidus bombings basically made everyone in that division screwed up. But I'm sure you all are aware of what happened there, so there's no need for me to go over it.
Donkey Kong, on the other hand, scores just as much on Fisher that Magus did in 2003. Again, we all know what happened with Magus, so there's no need to go through it again.
Now, we basically have two screwed up results on our hands here. I know that Fisher is stronger then face CATS, but I have no clue by how much. If he would win with 55%, then DK is going to give Master Chief a tough time.
The safe bet to go with here is Master Chief. I would easily choose Chief, but then you have to realize something here. Nintendo stars have been overperforming in 90% of the matches that they're in so far. Add to the fact that DK has the best picture that he will ever get, I'm starting to really doubt Master Chief is going to win. With Halo 2 out, I was as shocked as everyone else when Chief performed the way he did. If he didn't gain from that game, then DK stands a great shot at taking him down.
Oh well, I probably won't get this point anyway, so might as well risk it. Again, the safe bet here is Master Chief, but I believe the upset could happen. Of course, I'm aware of the backlash I'll receive when choosing DK, but I'll deal with it.
My prediction: Donkey Kong wins with 50.01% of the vote. *Activates flame shield, armor, bunker, and everything in between*.
Cena’s Analysis
So we've got Donkey Kong and Master Chief in round 2. Both had some pretty unimpressive wins in round 1, but Master Chief had the easier match against CATS. DK is definitely not as strong as he used to be, and with the edition of Halo 2 to all X-Box libraries, and the big hype for Halo 3 on the X-Box 360, I think it's safe to say that MC has the advantage as far as new, casual gamers. Donkey Kong might have some voters that are in the SSB: Online camp and even the nostalgia camp, but that's not really a credible case here. In previous years, both contestants seemed to be even. Master Chief has continued a streak of fairly uimpressive wins, and even lost to Frog. DK and Vercetti had a good fight, as well. Neither managed 70% on their first round opponents, so they're definitely not strong contenders. With Halo's continuous popularity, and DKs not-so-hyped up games, (Donkey Konga, anyone? Eugh), I'm sure MC will pick up the win, though it should be close. I don't think stats will make much of a difference, either.
Prediction: Master Chief with 55.3%

Vlado’s Analysis
This match will certainly be much closer than people expected in the beginning of the contest. Hell, with the rampage Nintendo has been on the WHOLE contest, I wouldn't be surprised to see Donkey Kong win here. Thank goodness, he's a worthless ape and he is certainly the weakest Nintendo representative in the contest. The problem, however, comes from the fact that Master Chief proved that he's not strong, either. Failing to get even 69% against Cats proves that you're a joke. Sure, there are certainly plenty of Master Chief/Xbox anti-votes, but it can't be just that. Sure, Cats does much better with his cool face pic, but that's not it, either. Master Chief has dropped since last year, instead of getting stronger, despite Halo 2. Everything points at that, heck, even estimating him through the inflated Cats villain contest value proves that he has dropped by at least a percent and a half.
What do we have on Donkey Kong... His first round win was quite impressive, he almost doubled Sam Fisher, while the stats predicted a somewhat close match between the two... The question is - is his win over Fisher more impressive than Chief's over Cats? Hmm... If Cats' spring contest value is realistic, he could easily beat Fisher. Which would mean that Master Chief would win here. I'm pretty sure that Fisher has dropped since last year, while Cats has certainly gone up... In the best case scenario for Fisher, they're on the same level now. He can't possibly have over half a percent advantage over Cats.
Conclusion - Master Chief wins. Donkey Kong will make it close enough to embarrass the Xbox icon, but Chief will survive till Round 3, where he will inevitably get his ass handed by Crono. Just one more thing... If the stats fail me again and Donkey Kong actually wins this... I will probably completely disregard the bull**** that the stats are from now on.
Predicted percentage: Master Chief with 53.46%.

I'm on a crappy computer right now, so I can't access the x-stats...but
let's assume these two things we've talked about (though not
necessarily true):
--Zelda = Ganon (Spring 2k5, we'll say).
--Ryu is constant from last year.
What does that do to Solid, Bowser, and their probably-upcoming match?

Quick update. Congrats on your marriage Ulti! I still have NO power at
my house in Miami due to Hurricane Katrina. There were like 1 million
people in South Florida without power. Might be out for a couple of
days. I have my Zero/Lloyd PCA on my laptop, I just need to get it
online.
If I HAD power at my house, I would be gloating my ass off over this victory for Bowser. Somebody archive these topics so I can catch up. Gotta go!

HEH. Two stats topics with the exact same title. We'll call this one
the true 220 (because it is), and I'll close the other one. There's
nothing in it but people complaining about moderations, anyway.

So other then the board vote does anyone think Donkey Kong can hold some king of a lead?

I doubt it. After ten minutes I expect MC to stay in control the entire match.

I think it would be awesome if Master Chief beat Donkey Kong by more than he beat CATS.
You know...that would make for humor.

Repost, but I want it here, too:
In Communist China related news, did you see the recent gamespot article where it will basically be impossible to play an online video game for more than 3 hours? It was very funny, yet sad...

Looks like we're in for another close match, courtesy of DK. I'm just amazed he missed his opportunity last year with Vivi.

Donkey Kong is barely holding onto a lead after the first five minutes. Master Chief is looking very good to take this thing, but it's such a shame that he's losing now. No love from me.

Everybody with a score of 11 or less got the match wrong. Except for the -1s, great performace by the top tiers. 80+ prediction percentages for the -2s to -7. The accuracy fades as you go further down.
Ten people fell off the Top 50 today. Cloud9681, Jabbari693, RidiculousNic, ZAXTREME, H3R3TIK, Warrior_Hart, smashjallo, FosDoNuT1, KoruKinshi and Sonicmaster713 did not have Bowser winning the match.
