Ugh, it seems the boards have come to a grinding halt or something. --- For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener |

Score-Brackets-% Right 7------3603----86.0394116 6------15311---90.6407158 5------17059---91.7580163 4------7595----90.6517446 3------2073----88.5190545 2------413-----77.4818402 1------117-----37.6068376 0------27------11.1111111 Now this is odd. An easy match yet the perfects are outdone by the -1s, -2s, -3s and -4s. It seems most serious brackets are at -2. We're still losing 0s, will they hold out?

This is just a savage beating. SMB deserves some recognition and Madden is lame, though, so it's all good. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

The perfects are still perfect due to picking Castlevania. I don't
think it was a highly popular pick among serious bracket makers. That
may explain why the perfects fell a little short. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

I'd absolutely love to see that come true HM, especially

have. Too bad it won't though. :( --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

It would almost be worth losing the Analysis Crew point just so somebody who predicted 99.99% gets a point for a match. That is just...incredible. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

i dunno if Mario will get the day vote. to me, Madden screams casual
vote. very few if any hardcore gamers are fans of Madden. i think
Madden will bring it back a bit during the day. but, yeesh..... it'll
be hard pressed to hit 10% at this rate. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

I don't think the day vote will get it far. I expect Madden to be a
littl emore night heavy than Mario, but all told I expect it to be
primarily a day game. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

See, what we learned from Halo/CV, is that even casual voters will vote
for the more established series. And there are few as established as

I so thought more people would predict higher, or else I would have
been more about 95%. As-is...come on , 95+% -- this would be great if
it got there. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

OMG SMB BOOST. Seriously though, as much fun as it is to see SMB wipe the floor with Madden (I almost used the naughty word!), I'm going to play some SOCOM, hopefully SMB will be up to at least 93% by the time I get back. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

Despite Mario's dominant performance, the vote totals suck so far (relatively anyway). It's like 2000 behind LoZ/Civilization. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

vote totals might be lower because the site was acting real funny for 15 minutes or so. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

no surprise here. maybe a percent or two higher than expected... *checks sc2k5 (i refuse to type the new name!)* best five minute update so far: 238-14 (94.44%) ...ouch --- xyzzy |

That's true. The lag probably has something to do with that. Hopefully, those people will come back and vote later... Still, maybe the problem is...SFF! We know SFF matchups tend to be poor vote draws. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

The true problem is Madden eating 2000 Mario voters. He can't get to them all, but he'll get some. As soon as they click the SMB bubble... BOOM! --- Moltar Status: Disappointed, I lost my perfect bracket. Super Mario Bros. vs. Madden - Bracket: SMB - Vote: SMB (7/8) |

93.67% for Mario on that last update. I'm wondering just how high he can get. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |
