Sephiroth beat Mario last year, right? Uh, yeah I think taht explains it. Match pic = small factor. It still says Final Fantasy, that speaks for all FF characters --- The optimist says the glass is half full. The pessimist says the glass is half empty. The pragmatist, being thirsty, drinks the water. |

The perfects seemingly do worse than the tiers slightly below them, but that's only because there are so few of them that 1 of them getting it wrong has a large impact on the prediction percentage. All the groups down to the -10s have an over 90 prediction percentage. The -1s, -2s and -3s are even over 98. And this was a semifinal match... Two people fell off the Top 50 today. Kite516 and Itsgoingdown both had Metal Gear taking the contest, so they are out of it after its loss to Zelda. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..."

Mario's winning updates by less and less. It's just a matter of time, folks. Regardless, I doubt Final Fantasy just starts piling on 60% updates for the rest of the day.
