BOLD PREDICTION: despite today's performance, a Crono/MC match this year would still be closer than MC/Crono last year. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Nah. MC probably wouldn't get the sword advantage again. Looks like Sub-Zero will win this with 2000-2500 votes. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

True or False: Sub-zero loses this with his MK3 pic that features him outside of his ninja uniform. --- z1mzum was the one to fill my dark soul with LIIIIGHHHT! |

...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the sword wasn't a major factor in that performance. You do realize that there's just as much evidence to blame MC's performances on pic factor as the "erraticness" myth? They're about equally valid. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

At the rate Master Chief gained on that last update Yeah, he won't keep that up. The natural decline in voting will prevent that. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

If he'd kept this over 52% I'd have said False, but by the time this
ends we'll probably be in that gray area where a recent release could
make the difference (and it's happening again on Zelda/Aeris, people !!). Still MK:A coming out a few days before this match was a known factor. I certainly knew about it, I just didn't think it would be enough. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I don't think the prediction percentage here will be all that low. I
think Sub-Zero will get 35+%. Low, but not record-breakingly so. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Meh, I took Sub-Zero with no knowledge of this beforehand. I don't think it'd be a make or break factor, even this close. Not that it particularly matters. We'll never know one way or the other. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

I think Sub-Zero will get 35+%. Low, but not record-breakingly so. You think Sub-Zero will have over 1/3 of the brackets as a 7 seed against Master Chief, one of the most overestimated characters by the casuals? As I said before, Auron had 70% against Scorpion in a 3/14 match, and he's not nearly as big of casual bait as MC is. I'll be shocked if Sub-Zero's percentage breaks 30% here. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

Not to mention, only FIVE people in the BOP had the guts to pick
Sub-Zero over Master Chief, on a board where people will jump on any
potential upset over things Halo-related. Sub-Zero's prediction percentage is going to be bad. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

So the 7 seed to win wasn't Claire or Zero. It was Sub-Zero. That somes up ALL of my screw-ups in Round 1. >.< I missed all of those... --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

What's interesting is that MC's bracket support seemed a lot better in
2K5 than in 2K3 or 2K4...I think a big part of that was his being a
1-seed and being fresh off of Halo 2. Now, he might have bracket
support more like he did in earlier years, or maybe not. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

Lucid Faia did say that Master Chief had a 0% chance at coming back around noon, which is still pretty cocky. Yeah, Sub-Zero had a 4000 vote lead at the time, and I called the match. Looking at the results now, I can safely say that I was mistaken... Wait a minute. Sub-Zero's still up by 3200. With less than five hours left. Never mind, it turns out I was right.

heh, the thing that worried me about MC is that he's probably about 1%
stronger based on bracket voting alone.. though I guess he's always
favoured so that's just part of his intrinsic strength. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |
