Okay then next time I will have in my bracket everything that is from FF7,even if it is a Chocobo.

Something tells me that the best Knuckles will be able to manage is to go 50-50 during the day vote. It would be cool to see Squall win by less than 2000 votes, though.

Sullen and unrefined; only speaks to others when absolutely necessary. His fighting moves, while rough and unpolished, are executed with absolute precision.

And 25% of the brackets shocked the hell out of me. I never even bothered to have an beforehand, but I didn't ever imagine it would be that low.

Imagine the brackets wrecked once Crono makes the finals.

Can't think of a good sig.

Imagine if Samus beats Mario which is very possible...

If Vincent only got 25% of the brackets verses Dante. I can only imagine Tifa has less to beat Luigi.

Crono > MC alone is gonna cause hell; MC and DK both have been known to be over-estimated before, and CATS is there too to take some more favorites/joke-brackets than the average character, too. Crono to the finals would be insane.

not I.

MC should ruin brackets, yeah, but at least 25% should have taken Crono. it's not like he's an unknown like Vincent is, after all. Crono's got some of the most famous matches in contest history.

I wonder who the bracket favourite to get to the finals on that side is? Sonic?

anyway, 8am seems like a good time for bed. nite yall.

Master Chief's loss will ruin a ****load of brackets. Did you guys even see how many people had Master Chief winning it all in the Top 50 throughout the contest?

I'd probably take Kirby over Knux after Kirby destroyed Tidus. Before the contest, I might have gone with Knux.

Damn you Squall. Damn you to gaming hell.

Just when GameFAQs chose right with Knuckles over Magus, they go back to their old, ugly habits. =(

At least keep it close Knux.

Kirby 2k5 > Knux 2k5 > Kirby 2k3 = Knux 2k3. At least, that's what I think. Characters aren't all static, especially when we have evidence to the contrary.

Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

Knuckles turned a 600 vote loss into a 2600 vote lead. I'm not counting him out yet.

Just when GameFAQs chose right with Knuckles over Magus,

They chose wrong there and are making up for it by choosing right here with Squall. =p

Summer Contest 2005 Winner: Mario
Mario will SFF Samus, and pull it out against Crono.

56% before the day vote, huh? Looks like Squall's slipping on every leftover banana peel DK left behind. Can't wait for Vincent/Squall.

And 25.14%? No, seriously. When did people stop picking FF7 altogether? Just goes to show bracket-voting isn't all that important, and if Mario beats Samus, it's not going to be because of it.

Squall is a far better superior character than Knux.. Come on Squall, bring the percentage up!!!

Knuckles isn't exactly running away with the morning vote right now. Squall's percentages per update have actually gotten better of late.

And congrats to Tnote on his easy win, the easiest in the history of the Analysis Crew.

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

I told myself I wanted Squall to have a 2000 vote lead when I got up in order for me to be comfortable about him surviving the day vote, and sure enough, he has just that.

Squall > The Devil Division

I wake up to 56/44 exactly. I was expecting closer to 58%, but it'll have to suffice.

Well, Moltar does have Squall at 52%, so if the day vote is unkind to Mr. Leonhart he should be able to take the point.

RIP: Tnote827 - 4/4/2005
SC2k5 - 47/52 (Kefka, Magus, Ocelot, Tidus)

At this point, Squall is getting around 56-57% per update against the infamous Knuckles day vote. He won't have to worry about getting close to 52%.

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

If you follow the Knuckles/Magus match, the day vote doesnt start to hit hard in Knuckles' favor until another hour. So I wait a little whie, Mr. Leonhart, before saying Knuckles isnt going to cut.

Squall, A DOUBLING? Its more likely for Knuckles to win than that happen.
---
Leon's Quest For Ultimate Glory:
1. Gordon Freeman; 2. Mega Man

The problem is, the two matches so far this week stayed within half a percent all day long, so we can't tell if the afterschool effect begins this week. But if it does, either nothing at all will happen, or Squall will get brutalized later on.

Squall is slowing down. He only gained around 10 votes in the last update.

OMG KNUKLES IS TEH COMBACK!

Magus screwed my bracket over. Yay!

*ahem*

i honestly think that Dante has more brackets with him winning the division than either Vincent or Squall. after he took the initial lead this morning, i bet that Vincent is technically the upset among the casuals.

told ya Dante would be the favorite over Vincent. he probably was also the favorite to take the division, too.

and just to be aware - right now (9:00 AM EST) is about the same time that Knuckles started to really push against Magus. he could win at least an update or two in the morning vote here. i doubt he will cut into Squall's lead much, but he could.

"Start wearing purple, for me now. All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, i promise. It's just a matter of time..."

OH YEAH!! just noticed that my buddy is actually in 1st place:

1 JohnDeere04 52 Samus

that ******* rocks hard. too bad he has Magus winning today, but, hey, he should at least stay on the Top 50.

and since i don't think i ever said anything to him, congrats to Chichiri for making the Top 50 and the Top 10!!

9 ChichiriMuyo 51 Samus

w00t!

"No, you see. Here's the problem. You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do." - Tom Cruise

Knux should have over 45% by the time I leave for work in an hour. When I check on my lunch break a few hours from now, he will probably have 46%, and when I get back from work a little after the halfway point, he should be approaching 47%.

For those paying attention, there is no clearer indication that Squall will win this division than by today's results.

I think outperforming Vincent rather than tying him would be a better indication...
---
"No, you see. Here's the problem. You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do." - Tom Cruise

It's not about a percentage; it is about beating a character that everyone considered 'the most popular sidekick' in these contests could not beat. Clearly, that is not true, as Knux himself is a sidekick. The point is Vincent is gonna get SFFed something fierce (assuming Squall holds on to win), and I will be floored if Squall does not break 55% on Vincent next round.

In a division filled with sidekicks, the hero Squall shall reign supreme.

Oh, You're predicting SFF.

Maybe. But it's a little inconclusive....

Usually when characters are equally matched in the standings, it would take something fierce for enough of that to make a huge difference. Maybe with Nintendo characters but Square has shown that they're a little better with it unless when pitted against Cloud.

"No, you see. Here's the problem. You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do." - Tom Cruise

We'll call my SFF for Vincent/Squall the Square pecking order SFF.

Heroes > Villains & Sidekicks

The only villain worth a damn is Sephiroth, as Lavos, Kuja, Ultros, Sin, Ansem and Kefka are all crap. The casual voter will like Square, and as such will know both Vincent and Squall. However, the casual voter will normally be drawn more to the lead protagonist than they will the sidekick. Especially when said sidekick was a sidequest acquisiton, and backed by only one-quarter of the bracketeers to get past Dante.

And the reason I listed all the sucky villains is just merely to explain why I did not rank how SFF would go in a villain/sidekick match-up.

Goin' off of a constant Dante and 20XXF-adjusted Knuckles (who currently has 45.04% on Squall)...

Vincent - 27.71% on Link 2k4
Squall - 27.69% on Link 2k4

...now, if Knuckles keeps goin' up (and keep in mind his day-vote hasn't started yet), that makes Squall look worse. If Mega Man didn't deserve the full 20XXF-adjustment he got against Link, that makes Squall look worse. If Cloud/Squall or Aeris/Sora is a sign of Vincent/Squall, that makes Squall look worse. If DMC3 helped Dante at all, that makes Vincent look better.

Not necessarily are all those true, but right now it's lookin' like Squall is still not goin' to be the favorite next round, even though they're damn near statistical twins right now.

17 have challenged Nintendo in the handheld market, 17 have failed. (see quote for list)

Possibly. The point is that their standings are too close to call a winner based on stats no matter how you arrange it. Unless you want to put Knuckles at Magus's 2K3 level >_<

You gotta go with your gut on this one. Just like Heroic Viktor just did.
