Claire's gonna keep it close -- next update, she'll start cutting down on votes. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Score-Brackets-% Right 2------27091----87.3721900 1------14849----84.7262442 0------706------54.6742210 Overall prediction percentage: 85.91% Okay job by the perfects, terrible performace by the 0s. We lost over 50% of them on this match. Perhaps a lot of them were messed up favorites brackets? Two people fell off the top 50 today. fitlanbox who had Squall taking the main bracket and Gogodancer who had KOS-MOS?! Considering it's mostly contest vets who try to get brackets with unlikely winners on the Top 50, you would think they would last a bit longer. --- I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest.

Kairi with a nice 100+ lead there. If she can keep increasing her lead,
even slightly, she'll be doing good. If she keeps it this close
throughout the night, this match is hers easy. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

All we need to know is that Kairi is crap and shouldn't be put within
range to win another match again, ever. I'm tempted to put her X-Stat
ranking *lower* than what she'll get against Rikku. OUT OF SPITE. --- Commit it to memory. |

would still be winning right now. I still don't accept defeat yet. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

IIRC don't a lot of zero brackets end up "winning" very obvious matches
even further in? I tend to get the impression that a large sum of them
are just favourite brackets; even later on in the round until there's
only a few dozen left. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

Boy, I sure would hate to miss on an easy one liek today's. Good thing
no one was foolish enough to bank on Claire's 2k2 value or foolish
enough to assume Ansem with just 1 KH game (an done he was awful in) is
a good indicator for Kairi after two. --- If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, maybe you deserved it. |

Yes, a 150 vote lead is a lock, and it's over. It's not going to be a
blowout in either direction, needless to say, but calling it over...

From Haste_2 Posted 9/15/2006 12:11:33 AM Okay, it'll take a near-miracle for Claire to comeback now. I wouldn't count her out until about 2 am EST. If she doesn't make a sizable cut by then, I'll take Kairi to win the match easily. Fun fact, it looks like my joke Oracle pick will suck it up. I knew I shouldn't have went that high =( TuRtLe ~~~ Turtle on his laptop | Contest analysis: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383 |
| Haste_2 | Posted 9/14/2006 9:13:19 PM | message detail |

The reason I'm saying a near-miracle is because Kairi will be getting
the day vote, and Claire, the night vote. If their vote trends were the
opposite Claire would have a far easier time. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

GTA had a higher % and a bigger lead at this point over Warcraft. Don't
call this over, the board/bracket vote might just be stronger with the
new start time. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

It will take EVERY FIBER OF MY VERY BEING to not blast every Claire
supporter to hell and back if Kairi manages to hang on here, given that
certain nameless people in the stats topic once again decided to treat
their predictions in a debatable match as absolute fact. "Claire will win, Kairi is just fodder" my ****ing ass. I'll never get why you people don't learn your lesson. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), FE8, Castlevania: LoI |

I don't doubt that Kairi is fodder. I can't see her breaking 40% on Rikku. I just thought that it was obvious that Claire would be bigger fodder.

I wouldn't go that far. We've yet to determine how close Claire
