...good lord, I hope this is bracket voting. Or maybe I was right. Maybe Alyx Vance is literally the weakest character since Tanner.

You weren't exactly alone in that assessment, it was your Cortana jibberish that got people annoyed.

Remember, Samus 2k4 is overrated! I'd take Tanner over Alyx in a direct match! <_<

2K4 Lara would suggest Alyx Vance is about 6% on BL...almost as bad as Mr. Driller.

Sheesh, I didn't learn my lesson with Tanner...an obscure generic person will always be a Tanner.

Thats still a pretty fair assumption, especially if Chun Li does well on Yuna.

Overall prediction percentage: 73.87%

The perfects do a great job, but the quality of performance quickly falls as you do down. The -1s barely break 80 and the -2s are below 80.

Two people fell off the Top 50 today. anotherbiffname and former first place X_Dante_X. Those two had Kasumi over Chun Li, but it didn't come through.

In other news, Pokemon Diamond is awesome even if all I'm currently looking at is $00 to $FF. =D

Lara Croft could be stronger than Ada Wong...

she's got a direct match with Samus though. Lara gets beat by Chun Li, who (probably) gets beat by Yuna, who gets beat by Aeris/Zelda, who gets beat by Samus. I'd think someone with name recognition like Chun Li would beat on Lara pretty good, too.

Nope. Chun Li would be beating Alyx by more.

Lara really should be kicking ass right now. I figure Chun Li/Lara will be relatively close, but not enough for a good match.

No. I pretty much expected Alyx to join Carmen Sandiego and Daisy as Tanner fodder.

Alyx is cutting down the lead pretty quickly.

Lara's lead jumped from 1100 the past update to 1500 this most recent update. She's cutting the percentage, but Lara's just killing her in the lead.
