BOLD PREDICTION: Metal Gear would beat KH worse than Pokemon beat Star Ocean.

I'm sure KH will rebound...'twas just a little unsettling to see HM that close. I don't think we're hardcore HM fans, are we?

Well I know I am, but on a whole I doubt even a third of board 8 has ever played an hm game.

That was so unbelievably awesome to see it lead for the first ten seconds or so.

There seem to be a few off-the wall finalist choices in the top 50. I'm guessing those people were actually favourite brackets.

Honestly, if Kingdom Hearts can "only" triple Harvest Moon, Metal Gear is going to whip it into shape.

That's why I said "would" instead of "is going to." Extrapolation will work fine for me though.

Score-Brackets-% Right

4------9682-----33.1749639

2------584------41.6095890
1------133------54.1353383
0------83-------67.4698795

Outstanding job by the 0s. 67% got it right. Too bad they were trying to get it wrong. Most people's bracket rolled over and died today. Like with most matches where Board 8 gets killed, the lower scores did better than the higher scores.

33 people fell off the Top 50 today. ExpConOwnsSowl, KamikazePotato, ninkendo, Angsty_Lou, SecksThaNemesis, Yesmar88, Flufflez, Notorious_KT, joedecoppi777, Naye745, captaincanadian, T_I_S, Habito, Undeniable, AsheDalmasca, Snarkster, Red_Forman, Do_not_even_ask, sqpat17, HopefulDeath, Rodri316, _Phediuk_, John_Desire, jsm158, greyfox102, KirbyKhan, moonfresh89, charmander6000, agentninja86, RedMasamune, Ninja_Freac, Dragran26 and Goddspawn all put thier faith in Halo and it lost.

I'm surprised it won the board vote; really surprised. I barely ever heard anyone say a word about liking hm enough to be glad to see it in the contest. Mostly all I heard was 'Harvest moon got in over [insert game that would probably also be jobber fodder here]?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? This is a great injustice!!!".

...did KH's % just go down? It better not be stabilizing below a tripling.

...Actually, on second thought, it better, since seeing CV destroy it would be awesome.

I hope CV/KH is a barnburner, because MG's got this division locked up.

Heh, KH lost some percentage. I hope KH can just barely make the tripling for my Analysis Crew pick and Oracle.

And be prepared for lots of whining that KH should be over 80%.

HM has KH just where it wants it. A measly 1200 vote lead? HM scoffs at KH, scoffs! Such a lead is meaningless when we all know HM is going to own the day vote.

Silly mnm and EC. Trick question, Castlevania just proved yesterday there is no more day vote.

Hence why MG is going to own faces come the Final Four.
