70-30 on the freeze. I doubt X will be destroying Suikoden. Unless Mega Man X makes huge strides, I should have stayed with my analysis prediction in the oracle.

I tried to vote for Suikoden out of pity, but in my rush to get the first (well, tied for 16th) vote I forgot it wasn't the lower seed.

MMX wins again!!!!!!!

Eh, I voted suikoden just because I don't want it to lose too badly. MMX still deserves to win though, and will probably break 80%.

If Mega Man X stays right where it is, I'll be in good shape with my prediction of 71.90%!

Of course, I would expect this to be Suikoden's best time, and Mega Man has a good day vote.

Wow... the GameFAQs moderation staff is absolutely insane. I got banned for saying that. Banned. Three accounts in purgatory too. I had 2 NKLs on my history with the account. It's disgusting when I see about 200 things said worse than that a day on here.

I'm doubting whether MMX can hit 80%, but I'm not quite counting it out. Luca lost like 5% in the day against Wesker. Though it's tougher to build % at this % too. 75% is probably about right.

A decent amount of board representation.

Any guesses on the correct prediction percentage for today's match? I'm gonna go with somewhere between 65-70%. Cookie cutters with the 4 seed possible?

There are a lot of people that seem to pick the higher seed all the time. I'm guessing about 55%, if that. Usualyl when the higher seed falls, the prediction % is below 50% IIRC.
