So lets go ahead and guess how many perfects will be knocked off. Since
Resident Evil is pretty much gonna win now, I'm gonna say about 25 at
least. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa JUST LIKE UR MOM LOLO AND URS TO LALA-Tombolo |

A see-saw pattern isn't going to lead SF anywhere. It's over, and it's been so for a while now. By the way, this is not contest-related, but I could still use some help on this: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=29500602 --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra |

Hot damn... looking at the updater if I hadn't been so tired last night
would have been a fun night to stay up for (Went to sleep 20 minutes
into the match), not that RE ever lost it's lead, but damn I was
getting nervous it was gonna go down going update by update with it. Oh
well! --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

DK's good at that. he's like EC in bed. Big, hairy, and ferocious? I agree ! ! Also, how awesome would it have been if we had Mario/Samus in 2K3? Samus along with everything in her path up to Mario would have been horrendously underrated, and 2K4 could have been awesome. Not that it already wasn't, despite what people say, 2K4 might be my favorite contest... it's debatable though. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I'm hoping half the perfects get eliminated... here's to wishful thinking! If we get to the point where less than 50 brackets are perfect at the end of the second round, I call this contest a success.

I actually think more perfects have SF than RE for whatever reason.. or
at least, a lower percentage than everyone else. I bet we're down to 35
or so perfects after today. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

Honestly... for there to not be a perfect bracket, we'd need all of
them to have taken A) SF > RE, B) KH > MG C) SSB > SMB or D)
LoZ > FF. Sad thing is I don't see 69 people taking at least one of those. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I thought of something... the big reason why we're virtually guaranteed
to have a perfect bracket is because it's the first time we're having a
contest without a big upset no one saw coming. We've had Scorpion,
Squall, Starcraft, Sora, Master Hand, Knuckles (and also Pac-Man)...
but this year? Nothing. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra |

Well...few people saw Castlevania > Halo or Warcraft > GTA,
percentages-wise. Those were bigger than any first round upset we've
had since StarCraft > Halo. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

And really, having over 45,000 brackets increased the odds of having a perfect, as well as this only being a 32-entry bracket. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

not by the prediction percentages. maybe by the board yeah, but two
first round matches in the 30's is about as close to "no one saw it
coming" as you get. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

Yeah, but I think a big chunk of those who got caught in these were
brackets that never had a chance to begin with (you know, with Halo and
GTA being such awesome casual bait and all). --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra |

Castlevania/Halo had the second lowest first round prediction percentage of all time. And it's not over, Slow. SSB could beat SMB or something equally insane. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz dad wat are u on i just cant my mash |

They were, but people actually gave Castlevania and Warcraft a chance.
Along with Mario Kart, those were the top upset picks. Which is much
less the case when you look at the overall brackets. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra |

People here don't matter, as not one guru has a perfect bracket left,
and I don't think a BOP entrant does either, so it's pretty meaningless
to even bring that up. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Oh, let me be the first to say that I originally had both

likely down to my own inexperience >_>. It was the first full-on

True, but the typical bracket has between 20 and 25 points as of now.
I'd expect the typical board bracket to be higher than that. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra |
