If it did we'd see a hell of a lot more fluctuation in characters from
match to match than we do, Board 8 obviously bracket votes to all hell,
and I'm guilty of it too, unless it's a character I really like, I
don't care either way, even when I know it's gonna be a blowout. --- I'm so hardcore. |

Hmm.. though he's 3,000 votes ahead, I can't help but get a little worried. --- Master Chief vs. Sub-Zero / Bracket: Sub-Zero / Vote: Sub-Zero (29/31) Tomorrow / Bracket: Samus / Vote: Samus |

there is no doubt that bracket voting in close matches is very rampant
at the beginning of the poll. when I saw that Sub-Zero was going 50-50
in the first minute, I knew MC was in a lot of trouble. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

Yeah... whenever I think there might be a close match, and I'm not there for the start, I go to sc2k5.com, close my eyes, and scroll to the bottom of the updater, then go update by update. I'm lame like that. Anyway, as soon as I saw MC's 1 minute freeze, I knew it was done. --- I'm so hardcore. |

looks like MC will go up 3% in the day against Sub. to compare, Auron did the same thing vs. Alucard. had this been Alucard instead of Sub, MC could have come back! --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

Match XXXIII: (1) Samus Aran vs. (4) Ada Wong Previous Matches Samus Aran Defeated Nidoran F, 81.85% - 18.15% Ada Wong Defeated Jade, 75.89% - 24.11% Analysis: Last round Samus was suppose to crush Nidoran F, but instead proved her inability to SFF opponents and on top of that letting Nidoran F look like she could take over a third of the females. Ada on the other hand did much better than expected tripling Jade. I haven’t seen fodder beating up fodder this bad since Ryo/Guybrush back in 2k2. Samus may have done poorly and Ada may have done much better than expected, but that still doesn’t mean Ada has any kind of a chance against Samus, even Leon would struggle to get anywhere close to Samus. Speaking of Leon I may have underestimated the power of RE4 after it has been released to the PS2. Leon did an amazing job against Bowser and even if you think Bowser was overrated you can’t think that he’s that overrated to let Leon get almost 45% on him. Ada may not have had as big of a role as Leon did, but it also means that she won’t be pure fodder like I originally thought she would. When I originally saw the bracket I thought Samus would be able to break 80% on Ada, but now I think she might be closer to Jill and Claire (though weaker than them). I still think Samus would still be able to manage the tripling, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t. Resident Evil may not be the strongest characters, but it’s not like they are total fodder. charmander6000’s Bracket: Samus Aran over Ada Wong charmander6000’s Prediction: Samus wins, 75.72% - 24.28% --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

If you believe in Bowser being significantly overrated by the picture
(at least to the degree that an unboosted Leon would imply), you've got
to put him on par with Zelda or assume Zelda was overrated as well. Aeris certainly doesn't mind the second possibility! --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |
