"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." Madden is so screwed. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

From Anal Storage Posted 7/9/2006 12:17:52 AM I demand Ulti make a topic saying "Sign here if you've ever won a contest." Just to shut up all the gloating by CV pickers. I haven't seen that much gloating. Although I would laugh if Ulti did that. TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Silly mnm and EC. Trick question, Castlevania just proved yesterday there is no more day vote. Shows how much you know. Castlevania took that day vote because Alucard was tired of everyone saying he sucks with the day vote. He used 0.50% of his power and Halo couldn't do anything! --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

level. --- Where am I? |

I demand Ulti make a topic saying "Sign here if you've ever won a contest." Just to shut up all the gloating by CV pickers. Meh, this happens every upset. People seem to think picking one upset correctly makes them contest gods or something, and I agree it can get annoying. Almost none of these people had the cajones to say a thing about picking CV until after the match started either, which makes their gloating highly unimpressive. IMO the only people who ever deserve to gloat in any upset are those who were actually vocal about their pick before the match. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Kingdom Hearts does have a very good day vote though, for what it's
worth in this contest that has been seriously devoid of any kind of
swing. --- "A huge void in her heart. It is filled not by darkness, but kindness from others." - Presea Combatir, the Empty Soul |

Y'know, looking at Harvest Moon's picture I'm actually kind of
interested in that game. If only because they look WAY too happy for
whatever the hell they're doing. I wonder just exactly what they're

Well I didn't see much of your prdicting it, but considering your vocall..ness on other upsets, I'd assume you did. So yes, you'd qualify, although you generally have too much class to make a complete ass out of yourself outside of the usual "told you so". --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

FACT or FICTION: When/If CV beats KH, we will have less than 400 perfects left. Fact. Absolutely fact. I don't even know if there will be 400 perfects left at the end of the first round. But if CV succeeds in beating KH, I doubt there will be many who got that, WC vs GTA, MM vs MK, and TES vs SF right. The only reason I mention TES vs SF is that TES is the higher seed. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

I knew in the back of my head the DS sales were gonna do something for
Castlevania, I just ****ing knew it. Next time I know that and see a
predictment in which an entity can benefit greatly from it, I'm taken
advantage of it. I'm tired of never picking good upset picks, and thats
what keeps screwing me over since 02. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa JUST LIKE UR MOM LOLO AND URS TO LALA-Tombolo |

I actually didn't get to be vocal about CV>Halo. Not as vocal as I'd
have liked anyway. I've been sick for over a week now. My analysis,
which is usually OODLES OF FUN and gets ENORMOUS RESPONSE was abridged
and only got like 20 posts because I wrote it a few hours before the
match and I was too tired to get really in depth. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

This is going to be blunt, but how in the HELL are you going to take KH
> CV, when CV layed a smackdown on Halo of 55-45, and prior to KH2
and Halo 2, Halo is expecting to win with 53.5%. Even if you think KH2
is enough to outweight the gain of Halo 2, and
make up the difference Halo already had on it, just to make it even, it
would still need to perform another 5% higher on CV. You're basically
expecting KH2 to boost it to performing 8.5-10% better than it would
have on CV before it. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

Uh... considering the only really debatable match we have left
before that point is MM/MK, there's discussion about ES/Warcraft being
able to upset, but right now I don't know if it's really worth any salt. That feels to me the same kind of thinking that happens before the contests where the bracket is "too easy" and therefore there finally will be a perfect. This time is exactly like the villains contest. Yeah, MH could have beaten Kuja, but few actually thought it would really happen. Some people thought Castlevania had a legit shot at Halo, but most took Halo safely and confidently. Just because MM/MK is the only "debatable" match in our eyes, does not mean there won't be another unforseen upset. I hope it's street fighter. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

I'd actually be interested in seeing Castlevania gain serious rally
power and try to take Metal Gear down. Sure, I'd be traumatized, but
I'd actually consider that more memorable than StarCraft's run. And not
just for the whole weeping/traumatization factor and whatnot. --- Commit it to memory. |

Uh... considering the only really debatable match we have left
before that point is MM/MK, there's discussion about ES/Warcraft being
able to upset, but right now I don't know if it's really worth any salt. Depends on the winner of MM/MK. I think if MM wins, the majority of the perfects will be gone due to MM typically having terrible bracket support. CV/KH should finish the rest of them off. And if TES or Warcraft pull off the upset (very unlikely, IMO), you can count on there being no perfects left. Also an interesting thing to consider is how much bracket support TES would get. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |
