Which matches in our history would you expect a character won <50% the updates (15min or 5min), yet still won the match? Yeah, I would say Samus 2002 and Mario 2003 as well. Probably Starcraft against Wind Waker also. If gaining votes counts as "winning" an update, then Donkey Kong's performance in Spring 2004 is one also. --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars."

Well, there was also that match with Kerrigan, ya know. No one really thought Kerrigan was going to win outside of hardcore Starcraft fans who deluded themselves into thinking that Kerrigan would win out of personal preference, regardless, what took place after that match was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in stats topics, or on this board. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids - Team Tranny Did! |

Libs - I hear it a lot, it got old months ago. You can joke, but come
up with some fresh material once every couple of years please.
Honestly, doesn't it get old seeing/making the same boring old jokes
about HM changing his opinion? It's funny aproximately once for every
person that does it, we need another 5 years before we have enough
people for it to be funny again. --- ... Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

Well I never doubted Vincent > Kerrigan... Oh, fine... but you were not justiifed in your "LAWL VINCENT WILL DOUBLE TEH DANTE!".

"It really sucks that we're going to have our first perfect bracket on a contest like this!" Why? With a contest like this, we can all rest assured that the people who did get perfects didn't actually do real work to get them and disregard that they did. Frankly, this whole contest really was only as hard as the first round of a character battle. Even the villains contest had more tough choices to make. --- ... Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

Why don't you get the hell over people spending time on a video game
site and enjoying it? Look at your goddamn Karma, you've clearly been
here for a long time, and this isn't the first time you've made a post
like this. If you don't like it, then seriously, shut the hell up and
leave, don't continue to hang around a place that you're going to bash
people for spending time at and enjoying. You know it takes like 10 seconds a day to login and get the karma. I just don't like hypocrites, everybody can do what they like, but you have to look at yourself first before calling someone to be something. --- Most wanted game: LoZ: TP |

You don't seem too mature either. I mean making those post contest
analysis topics writing like 500 words for every match of a contest in
a video game site. That's the stupidest comparison between someone's maturity and hobby choice that I've ever seen. Before attacking someone for spending time on the internet, try to notice the irony of such a pathetic insult in the first place. You have to be on the internet too much in your right to be able to accurately accuse anyone else of doing the same. I forget who, but someone made a nice comment about how Mario losing has put everyone in a bad mood. Given how horribly pro-Nintendo biased this board is, that actually wouldn't surprise me. God forbid how place will look if Zelda loses tomorrow. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY) |

and disregard that they did. Frankly, this whole contest really was
only as hard as the first round of a character battle. Even the
villains contest had more tough choices to make. Well I would have rather got one in the traditional character battle, or even a game contest, sure we will disregard it if a perfect is ever obtained in one of those, but it feels so dirty, plus people will always say the there was a perfect before one of them was made in those contests. It just feels like it cheapens the effect of getting the first perfect in one of those contests. And aside from me making one extremely stupid pick this contest that I know I'm an idiot for picking, and didn't even believe in, I would be -5. lol halo advancing in the 2nd round. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids - Team Tranny Did! |

Heh, Leonhart... did you know I was expecting SFF in that match? Now
I'll be honest in saying that I still would have called for over 60% on
Vincent's side, but how can I help it that Dante gained strength off a
game that had only sold 300k copies at the time? --- ... Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

TRE, are you getting this? Another question: Does anyone know what some of the lowest percentages are that a contest entrant has sunk to without ever losing the lead? I know that the lowest is Donkey Kong The Game with 50.07%, but I'm pretty sure Magus getting 50.19% against Ganondorf is up there as well as Resident Evil getting 50.2?% against Street Fighter. --- "Dropo!
