Why should I care about my bracket anymore? I lost 56 points Tuesday.


correct me if I'm wrong (and I probably am...I don't know what the points are per round..>_>) but...did you have Samus beating Link?!

I didn't have here going past Sephiroth.

Not a particularly good update for either of them, but enough to get Mega Man over 500.

yeah, I just checked it. Ignore me. >_>

I had her going past Sephy, strangely. If Mario had been on the other side of the bracket she might have done it. (Mario might lost to Crono again, and Samus would beat Crono)

The scariest thing about this match is how strong Gordon Freeman is going to be in the xstats.

Sonic The Hedgehog's road to the best final possible:
20XX Division Champ: (1) MegaMan

On the other hand, if Crono is really that weak it still gives him a chance to crack through. If Megaman was owning Sonic it'd be more worrisome, but he's about three percentage points short at the moment.

I didn't see anyone post the final stats for the third quarter of the bracket, so here they are:

Crono - 50.00%
Vincent Valentine - 44.62%
Squall Leonhart - 44.09%
Dante Sparda - 41.05%
Knuckles the Echidna - 40.74%
Magus - 40.04%
Master Chief - 38.71%
Donkey Kong - 38.10%
Tommy Vercetti - 29.15%
Kefka Palazzo - 28.49%
Sam Fisher - 26.85%
CATS - 24.13%
Terra Branford - 23.40%
Zidane Tribal - 23.28%
Geno - 22.19%
Sarah Kerrigan - 18.74%

Hmph, Master Chief > Devil Division, huh? Not even close, and not even half.

Kefka beats Terra with 58.93%, by the way.

Poor Magus. Obviously he's got potential, but he really got owned this year...

heh, I just did the stats an hour ago. shoulda posted em.

MM/Sonic/Crono is interesting. they might all end up within a percentage point of each other.. and if MM gets to the final, they could all look like crap.
---
.

Yeah, and it looks like we can finally put this "Crono didn't SFF Magus!" stuff to rest.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Ha ha Sonic gained. The comeback is happening...

I don't mind if Megaman wins, but this has to be the closest match in the contest. Sonic and Megaman (Maybe also Mario)>>>>all

The thing is, Crono was at his very best last year when he faced Magus. This year, according to pre-adjustments he wouldn't even get 36% on BL.

What online fan couldn't get behind Trevor Murdoch? I mean, finally, a wrestler with our physique! -Sean Carless

Wow, I didnt expect mega to take off. Im looking at his vote pattern and theyre too irregular. Stays at 160-70 then all of a sudden gets 200+ out of no where..
---
- - -

Of course, that's working under the assumption that Magus didn't drop as well. Regardless, I don't think Crono took a large enough drop relative to Magus to make a nearly 10% difference.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

MM's vote's per update are a little awkward.

~This sig was pimped by Icon's sig~
Cheer up Emo kids.

Then again, Magus has both Sam Fisher and Luca Blight working against him there.
---
What online fan couldn't get behind Trevor Murdoch? I mean, finally, a wrestler with our physique! -Sean Carless

And he has THIS year working for him.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Another small gain. Go Sonic!
---

Sonic can win getting 3 votes per update, right? He'd at least come close, at any rate.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

It can't, since we're comparing to this year to begin with.
---
What online fan couldn't get behind Trevor Murdoch? I mean, finally, a wrestler with our physique! -Sean Carless

You know, Sam Fisher does go a good distance up in the rankings if you compare him to Crono regardless.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Fisher's been a real oddity this year, that's for certain. We attributed his overperformance against DK to his new game, and then it turned out DK was supercharged this year.
---
What online fan couldn't get behind Trevor Murdoch? I mean, finally, a wrestler with our physique! -Sean Carless

Think his new game really was that popular? Or has he benefited from the demographic shift as well as the game?

Vincent WILL break 60% on Dante.
(Place Holder for sig bet with YoYoChamp made 3/24/05)

So Master Chief or Magus?

Probably Chief. For entirely different reasons than last off-season, but Chief nonetheless.
---
What online fan couldn't get behind Trevor Murdoch? I mean, finally, a wrestler with our physique! -Sean Carless

I'd take Magus over the Chief.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

I would pick Magus.

At least Sonic is still winning some updates :)

Just thought of something, Gordon Freeman is also looking to end up much higher than you'd expect, as does Master Chief. I think we might be looking at another aspect of the Demographic shift.

What a 42 carat plonker you really are~del boy only fools and horses

Wow, Sonic takes the night, Mega takes the morning, Sonic's... *gasp*... best time. I told you Mega does not suck with the day vote. Not at all. He's just slightly better at night.

I expect Mega to rip him open during the after school vote, Zero dented Mario pretty good at that time.

Then again, Zero went even with Lloyd and lost it to Hayabusa.

Nah, Sonic will hold his own.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

so this match could be 50-50?
---
What a 42 carat plonker you really are~del boy only fools and horses

lol

I'd say that's probably Lloyd's best time (well ToS sucks in the night, that's all I know)... and we know that's Hayabusa's best time. The Bomber shall prevail!
---
Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather."

and Mega passes 600. impressive.

.

I'm just hoping Mega Man can start making 60-40 updates so my prediction looks more reasonable... heh.

... what?

no sonic vs mario oh well in that case we better get mario vs crono IV a New Era
---
What a 42 carat plonker you really are~del boy only fools and horses

Mario/Crono IV it is, at least thats what my bracket says :)

And I would take Chief over Magus, with them being so close and Chief being a monster with the day vote I'd have to go with him.

Sonic's getting wrecked here. if this keeps up, the so-called afterschool vote ain't gonna matter.
---
.

MM just passed 700, he's putting on some steam now. If he gets over 1000 I have some doubts about Sonic's ability to overtake him enough to stave off the night vote.

There's no real reason to think Sonic's taking the after-school vote anyway. Neither one of em are really infamous for it, and Mega Man's coming in with the advantage, so my money would go on Mega Man taking it by default.
