After never getting an even update all day, on the last update of
the match, Riku and Yoshi both got 134 votes. It's like they were
fighting all day, but then they made a truce and became friends.

So, since Yoshi was the bracket favourite, which match will be the first "upset"? Phoenix/Gordon? Ganon/Vincent? Zero/Luigi? TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

The first seeding upset is another match where the top performers do worse than the people with lowere scores. The first seeding upset also means those who choose the top seed for every match have fallen from being perfect and it shows in the difference between the -1s and the perfect's prediction percentage. With half the 0s going down on this match, will one of them survive to the end? 26 people fell off the top 50.

high. (Same reason I did... well also because I think Dante >= Zero)

Hayabusa is actually favored to take the day vote against Dante? Man, I really haven't been paying enough attention. I thought dante was notoriously bad with the day vote, and ryu was good with it in the past. Is that incorrect? --- When D...

| Karma Hunter | Posted 9/30/2006 9:19:12 PM | message detail |
| Dante seems to be slightly worse in the day than
night, while Ryu has a slight edge in the day based on his matches with
Zero and Jill. This is sort of what you'd expect with Ryu being XBox
and all. There probably won't be *too* much of a swing, but yeah. --- Commit it to memory. |

I don't really think Dante is going to SFF Hayabusa that much... I only said a hair, let's not overexaggerate what I said. I do think this is mostly Dante, here... a % or two SFF tops. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

Dante usually faces characters with strong day votes (Sonic, Tails,
Vincent). He did own Terra with it..but that's to be expected. I think they're going to more or less split it. (Ryu will probably take the morning vote) --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Dante vs. Ryu H. - Bracket: Dante - Vote: Dante (18/19) |

I wouldn't know how much SFF to expect out of these two, but I'll be
boring and concede that them being on completely different systems
probably limits it to being not too much. 'A slight overperformance',
one might prefer to call it (assuming it holds). Though in any case, I can see a result like this holding meaning good things for Vincent or bad things for Zero. --- Commit it to memory. |

Though it'd set me back, from a preference standpoint I'd like nothing
more than for Dante (or Hayabusa LOL) to crush Yoshi in the next round.
It'd be so satisfying. These two results are giving me a clear Dante vibe, but there's something about Yoshi that I can't shake...it's the reason why I took him in the first place. --- Commit it to memory. |

I'd be fearing for Zero if I were you. Unless Ryu kills with the day
vote, this is definitely making Zero look weak enough to lose to Luigi. --- Z1mZum won the Guru Contest. I picked Pokemon over Metroid, GTA over Warcraft, Halo over CV, Street Fighter over RE, and FF over Zelda. |

So this either means that Devil Division is not overrated, Dante got a massive boost, or Zero wasn't SFF'd by Mario. Or -- and this will save you the trouble of coming up with an excuse later -- the Devil Division was overrated by a bit, Dante regained what he had lost due to it being overrated thanks to DMC3: SE (a whopping 2 - 3% depending on the degree of overrated the division was), Zero never was SFFed by Mario (this made about as much sense as "LUIGI IS THE FLOOR FOR YOSHI!") and therefore Hayabusa wasn't underrated.
