Chun-Li beats Aeris with 63%. Chun-Li will not only beat Yuna, but the Zelda/Aeris winner, as well!

Also, expect Chunners to take the day vote

It's Street Fighter v. an XBox series, I don't think I'll hold my breath.

My bad, I thought you had Claire in the match-up, although now that you reminded me, I think you had Kairi with 57%ish

At any rate, if today and Kairi/Claire doesn't prove how absolutely useless the 2k2 stats are today, I don't know what else will.

I maintain the 2k2 stats are somehow accurate until Servbot is no longer the second-strongest Mega Man character we've seen.

Don't ask me why.

Overall prediction percentage: 65.75%

Poor performace today. Only the perfects manage to break 70 while the other groups are mostly in the mid to low 60s. Actually the 0s did pretty well if you assume they were trying to get the match wrong, nearly 85% got it "right".

8 people fell off the Top 50 today. xp1337, doreiko, ShadowFigure, Valereth, LordCysi, ParasolRKO, gamer9190 and Px316xK thought Cortana could take out Joanna.

Many matches in 2K2 had results that would be about the same today. It's just that the characters from 2K2 that have been continually snubbed have been dropping...which is pretty much why they've been snubbed.

Correction: it's Street Fighter vs a relatively unpopular X-Box game.

When I haven't even heard of the series you came from, you know you're going to be weak.

I made the mistake in not having played Metal Gear games when I did my bracket.

SC2k6 (013/014) Chun-Li v Kasumi
Karma Hunter | Posted 9/25/2006 9:13:43 PM | message detail
Correction: it's Street Fighter vs a relatively unpopular X-Box game.

Strength isn't exactly the deciding factor in determining voting trends. Solid Snake being vastly more popular than Knuckles didn't stop the echidna from tear-assing into his percentage for three years straight.

For Chun-Li to actually *gain* during the day would be quite unlikely, and ignore prior voting trends. It's not impossible, I just won't hold my breath.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/25/2006 9:13:54 PM | message detail
Even if Kasumi can bring Chunners down to the mid-60s, my Oracle pick is still better than 3/4 of the entrants for today. How people were expecting this to be closer than 60-40 I will never know

Let's lay a little wager down KH. If Chun-Li goes down lower than 67% by the end of the match, I'll play through the Metal Gear Solid games.

If not, I get my sig back <_<

If you were talking about anything other than winning the day vote in terms of percentage...no, seriously, that's too stupid for me to even wrap my mind around, this is a 70-30 match, I'm going to go lie down and pretend I didn't take it that way now. -_-

Alright, fine. If there is a noticeable shift towards Kasumi during the day, you win.

If Chun Li either maintains, or improves during the day, I win.

Chun Li will lose some percentage in the daytime. she'd lose percentage in the daytime to pretty much anyone.

Your rationale for this is that she lost it in the one match she's been in, in which she happened to not be the more recognizable character?

In all of those matches the oponent was either a popular GameFAQs series, or something "iconic".

I can't see a series I've never played/heard of being more recognizable than a Street Fighter character.

Chun-Li's not very well-known to the young gamers these days. All the old guys in the night are the ones that were once crazy about Street Fighter.

People attributing this to SFF is ridiculous. Chun Li gets no more SFF on Kasumi than Link did on Crono. After all, the Zelda games are as close to RPGs as the DoA games are to 2D fighters.

Also, that generic bracket sucks ass. WTF no Metroid?

That'd be impossible seeing as how Chunners is going to take that wimpy Summoner to town come Round 3!

Oh, I wish. Seeing the worst character of all time go down early would be wonderful.

I don't see where all the Riku/Yoshi hype is coming from. Sora/Yoshi might be a good match. Riku performed admirably against Frog and probably is a bit stronger this year... but he's definitely not in Yoshi's league.
